Harking back on my supermarket days, it was and obviously still is a massive problem. Food wastage is a nightmare. But expecting overworked workers to spot these products before they are ruined is an impossible mission. I did the closing shift three nights a week and was often on my own for...

It is the world we live in unfortunately. Things are definitely getting more expensive, and smaller in size. But we should remember also that wages are a lot higher than they were years ago too. It is all relatively really.

It never hurts to ask. Someone saying 'NO, I cant", will not hurt you and you may be surprised by the result.

Why are people still not seeing the red flags. I never trust or respond to advertisements these days as I assume they are all scams. If I find one that is interesting, I will try and find the original advertiser and go from there. But I seriously doubt that in this time of multiple scams...

Badly handled and executed. A third party should never have been appointed and a more thorough check should have been done before these letters were sent out. I too am lucky I never had this stress. I feel for those who do.

I dont care he wears the same thing, it does make the decision of what to wear easier. I am impressed how neatly he hung out the washing. Easy to fold and put away as well.

It will never please a small percentage of the shopping public, as they do not want to be told, or be expected to bring bags. It is not that hard to remember your own bags, and if you do forget, put everyting in the trolley and take it to your car. I'm sure there is a way to get your groceries...

I dont like all the packaaging on these fruit and veggies, but I would prefer to try and deal with plastic than the many unwashed hands, some from littlies checking everything out, that touch these products constantly. I have worked in a supermarket and I have seen first hand what some people...

For life means for life.

It is true we have all paid taxes in some form during our working lives. However, and I am on a pension, I dont feel it is the government's responsibility to give us a handout. I was a stay at home mum, with a mechanic husband, so our lives were not extravagant. I did return to work once my...

Maybe not relevant to you, but it is a good way to stay informed on lots of topics. I know I have learnt a lot of different things since I have been getting SDC emails. Maybe not all relevant to me but definitely to the wider world. I want to know what is going on and not just in a world of...

Not a fan of candles for smell. And really dont like frangrances in my home either. I find them rather sickly and never seem to last. Handy if there is a blackout though, but not for $25.

Dropped and locked prices are all well and good, but some of these goods now no longer go on special. So you never get them at half price so you can stock up during that time. So even though it is good to know they are not going up in price, they are also not coming down either.

Thanks again Sethia for another delicious sounding recipe. I have again started to cook as I prefer simple but tasy meals and I think I can manage these recipes. I dont like cooking.

There are brutes in all cultures. History does not have to repeat itself.

Have we no shame? Drinking gold on a very expensive coffee doesnt make you a legend. It makes you gullible and a little ridiculous, in my opinion.

Another trendy influencer idea that could have consequences. We have enough cute animals already in Australia that having to have an imported designer one shouldnt be allowed. Really people, think before you act.

And also these days the use of the 'I' and 'me". It more often than not is used incorrectly. Once upon a time it was the other way around. So irritating. But I think we are fighting a losing battle to get the younger generation to understand grammar. I know someone who consistenly writes 'use'...

I certainly hope that the Australian accent is not lost. It is such a unique way of speaking. There is one thing that drives me nuts though, and this is not accent related but pronunciation.. why is known, grown, blown, often pronounced knowen, growen, blowen etc. It makes me shudder when I...

I think there are enough cafes around these big stores and in shopping centres, that another inside Kmart seems pointless to me. With the eating habits of this generation, Kmart would not only have to return moved items to their correct place, but also clear up the mess made by having food in...
