    New report unveils jaw-dropping extent of price gouging

    About time Supermarkets were looked at. They have been price gouging since the Covid virus hit. It has to stop. I feel really sorry for the Farmers whose produce is paid at such a low price but, Supermarkets hike up prices. Fairs fair .

    Woman orders TV on Facebook Marketplace but receives odd items instead

    Once I was trying to sell a dining setting square glass top table and 4 chairs. Had 2 offers to buy them, 1 buyer wanted me to put money in escrow to cover pick up and another wanted me to pay $600 for cartage. Told both of them to stop wasting my time as it was a scam just to get money out of...

    Beware of the counterfeit cash circulating in major retailers

    I think it's wrong to make holders of fake notes not to be able to hand them in and receive a genuine note back. This will only make people and shops reluctant to hand over fake notes to take them out of circulation. Some people will miss that $50 or $100 amount being scammed from them.

    Farmer gives away giant melons below cost amid supermarket price wars

    What I find sneaky is Coles, Woolworths and other stores put up discount stickers saying like 2 for $4, yet under that sticker its $2 each. So where is the saving? I feel if that is what they do to us, then, I can believe they are ripping off the farmer. We need farmers, otherwise we don't eat.

    Is there a twist behind the Coles $25 gift card trick?

    Just another sneaky way with Coles. Give with one hand and take half or three quarters back. Who would want this. What a joke. Just like their Christmas drink container for staff.

    Exactly right. All he seems to worry about is when he can take another trip abroad. Keep saying to my husband, doesn't he know how to use Skype or Zoom.

    ‘Abuse of power’: Government investigates soaring grocery prices

    There definitely higher prices in Coles. We live in a country town, so only have Coles and now IGA. I think they take advantage of us because we are rural. Something has to be done.

    All well and good but, was it the same in the food aisles? I noticed just last week that Flora Margarine the 1kg pack is on the rise again at $8.95 is going way over. Used to be $5.00 , this is price gouging at its highest. Who needs hair dye reduced I ask you.

    Outraged farmers threaten revolt after supermarket giants rake in billion-dollar profits

    This is disgraceful. Are we going to wait until we have no Farmers producing to act on this. They are feeling this more than even the lowly customer, because , its the Supermarkets getting rich, not just shoppers or the poor Farmer. We need them more than we need greedy Supermarkets.

    Well I myself would not want a cashless society. When ANZ crashed a few months ago, my husband and I had just done our fortnightly grocery shopping. Can you imagine how embarrassed we felt not being able use our Eftpos card to pay for it. If banks can close branches, then they can cope with on...

    Finance expert weighs in on ‘cashless’ Australia

    A cashless society works for banks, that's why they keep closing down branches all over Australia, more in country areas. We should never become so dependent on a card.
