    Is going cashless taking away your freedom? Find out how businesses face consumer boycotts

    I recently booked a doctor's appointment online and had to enter my card details before they accepted the appointment. They charged me a card levy and also a processing fee. And that's before I actually see the doctor. Not happy about that. It is too expensive now to even need to see the doctor.

    What one shopper found on Coles' shelves left them fuming

    I have seen eaten BBQ chickens left after the customer had a good feed. Honestly not ok.

    Brazen act by Coles customer: 'I'm a bad man'

    In jest or not, it is not ok. The theft of baskets, and trolleys too, is a big problem for supermarkets. If he remembers to bring that basket back each time he shops then that would be a little better, but I'm sure he would need a new basket each time. And then where do all those baskets end...

    What one shopper found on Coles' shelves left them fuming

    These products are never returned to the meat, or dairy cases. They are written off as loss. I worked for Coles for almost 12 years and this is a very common problem caused by laziness and thoughtlessness. I could write a book on what I have seen over the years but I am aiming to use my...

    Here’s why shoppers can't get enough of these affordable Shapewear Jeans from Kmart

    Why do these shapewear jeans have to be so tight on the legs. I see that is to give definition but I dont like the tight ankle look or the shortness of the jeans. So will give them a miss this time.

    Up To 99% Off: You Won't Believe The Price of this Coles Grocery Haul!

    Technically yes, but the points earned to receive this discount were earned buying other things that she DID need. It is not a straight forward process.

    Important pension changes you need to know about starting July 1

    I would certainly hope they are automatic. The assessment process is so difficult. Centrelink already adjusts amounts from time to time, so they should be able to do it for this.

    Revealed: Top Aussie dietitian’s healthy go-to foods from Coles

    A lot of those products are in the high price end of the grocery market. I wouldnt buy them purely because of the price.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals the truth about his affair and love child

    He has done the wrong thing by his family, and there is no excuse for that. However he has acknowledged his illegitimate son and although it took a while, told his family about him.

    What’s wrong with this photo of cucumbers wrapped in plastic, and why are Woolworths customers angry about it?

    The plastic issue is not going to be solved over night. Some things take longer. Reduction of plastic is happening so we need to be patient with the process and stop whinging about every bit of plastic that they see.

    Are you accidentally breaking this often-ignored road rule? The common act that could cost Aussie drivers $337!

    I'd be very surprised if anyone under 40 would know road hand signals. They are probably wondering what you are doing. Letting others know your intentions on the road is not always a priority with some drivers, even with working lights.

    Discover the secret behind Jackie O's incredible weight loss!

    Good on her. Weight loss is a personal thing and if this made her feel better about herself then great. But we should be congratulating her for feeling better about herself rather than how she looks. Well done Jackie.

    Unlock the secret to gorgeous hair everyday with JSHealth's 'magical' hair care line!

    One thing I dont have is limp, thin hair. I could stuff a pillow with the ones that fall out each week. But if I was to think about paying $35 for a bottle of shampoo it may thin out very quickly.

    Discover the $6.50 Kmart birthday party tip that's impressing thousands of savvy shoppers!

    They look great but what happens to them at the end of the party. Balloons can be an environmental problem. Especially the ones let go to celebrate or remember someone's life. Hard to know.

    Prepare for any emergency with up-to-date medical IDs

    Lose your phone and whomever finds it has that information without unlocking. Dont think it is a terribly secure way of doing things these days. And the majority may never need it.

    Aussie mum warns against popular energy drink: 'Revolting'

    Another example of the sheep mentality of today. Why would you buy caffeine loaded drinks for your child because a youtuber told you to. Not happening in my world.
