    Electronic payments are taking over: Is cash no longer king?

    I pay cash for just about everything. That way I know just how much money I have left until the next pension day. The risk over overspending when using a card is far too high. Each ”pay day” I divide a certain amount into 3 purses. One for groceries, one for petrol and one for the Chemist...

    Livid residents slam council's rubbish bin changes: 'It's ridiculous'

    Our Council implemented this scheme a few years ago now, at the same time as reducing the size of the red bin. Yes, it means smelly, overflowing bins in the street We live in a holiday area, so in summer there are thousands more people around. The bins are stacked to overflowing with smelly...

    The older woman who popped Prince Harry’s cherry surfaces after ‘Spare’ bombshell

    I am and always have been a royalist, but with everything else in this letter, I agree wholeheartedly. It’s high time the parliament took away their dukedom and everything else. He will obviously still remain a prince, but nothing else. And no more British taxpayers money. In days gone by...

    Scam Watch issues urgent warning about a new Telstra scam message that could end up in YOUR mailbox

    Woolworths under fire for reserving prime parking spots for pricey eco-friendly vehicles - here's what some Aussies had to say!

    Absolutely WRONG. As a disabled shopper I find there are never enough parking spaces for us and yet they find room for this madness. Woolworths has lost me. Aldi and Coles, here I come.

    Do you know the surprising secret behind Australia Post's logo?

    And there I had been thinking it was a stylised letterbox with a hole for the newspaper, simply turned on its side in order to make the letter P. I love the real explanation.

    What are those ‘vacuum sucky things’ in Woolworths stores?

    I remember those kinds of thing in some shops in the forties and fifties. Fascinated me. My mum would hand over the money which the assistant then put into a tube and with a swish it would travel through a system of pipes which were quite visible through the store. A moment or two later, with...

    Get the designer look for less with Kmart's latest homewares drop!

    Target Country had a reasonable range of clothing for the fuller figure. I happily bought from there. It became KMart a few years ago and they never have anything remotely appealing. Plus, I HATE the checkout system. Occasionally have a look, but never buy.

    Get the designer look for less with Kmart's latest homewares drop!

    I agree. All of these items will eventually end up in landfill. We produce far too much waste these days. I only buy new when I need to. If I’m not fashionable, at least I try to be responsible.

    Outrage erupts after Woolworths shopper photographed breaking societal rules

    I live in a holiday resort and although I would never walk anywhere without shoes, I am so used to seeing people walking almost everywhere without shoes that it no longer seems strange to me. I do wonder about those with bare feet when the temperature is 5 degrees and it’s raining- but it’s...

    Why are grandparents now called 'grandfriends' at school events? Here's the controversial reason behind the new name

    Absolutely ridiculous. I am a parent, grandparent and great-grandparent. My friends are a completely separate group. I am thoroughly sick and tired of all this rubbish.
