    Coles, Woolworths, IGA and ALDI affirm stance on supermarket self-serve checkouts

    Self serve or manned checkouts, people will always complain about them or lack thereof. Personally I will NEVER use them. If the store wants me to scan and pack my own shopping instead of them paying staff to do it for me, then I want a staff discount thanks

    Did a sudden show cancellation push this radio star to tears during a live broadcast?

    That's such a shame. I personally dislike Kyle and Jack O and will never ever be listening to them

    Are your favourite snacks and treats now considered luxuries? Here's why many Australians are dramatically cutting back!

    In theory your ideas work well, BUT having been on a Carer's Pension while my husband was alive and on the Age Pension we were able to live frugally but well with budgeting. Since he passed my income has halved but my utilities bills and rates/rent have increased, like everyone else's, I most...

    American takes a jab at Aussie parties and says to ‘skip the cheap part’

    This Yank should get in the real world. The cost of alcohol is ridiculously high. The host provides the venue, music, food and nibblies and in some cases a swimming pool, spa or sauna, you bring yourself and the alcohol. My message to this American is please don't come to my party, you are a...

    Overseas supermarkets ditched self-checkouts—should Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI follow suit?

    I never have and never will use self serve checkouts. They take jobs from people and sadly gone are the days when the first job many kids had the opportunity of having was working after school and weekends at the big supermarkets. If self serve checkouts become the norm I will only shop online...

    Wow! This will be an interesting exercise. Our nearest Big W is about 200kms away so obviously I don't shop there, but to be able to shop online and get free delivery just may be a game changer. Watch this space!

    Senior Queenslanders stuck in 'no-win situation’ amid rental crisis

    The rental crisis is definitely a tragedy. The Australian Government needs to reassess their Public Housing tenants. Having worked as a Social Worker for a Christian Welfare Organisation for over 15 years, I know first hand of families who have lived in Public Housing for many years, raised...

    Coles' latest anti-shoplifting policy affects their own staff

    If the staff have nothing to hide, what's the issue with having bags checked? Seems a sensible thing for employers to do

    Coles, Woolworths, and Costco: Are their paid memberships worth it?

    I also live in rural Victoria and it is way cheaper paying membership to a supermarket than the cost of petrol and time it would take me to get to the nearest supermarket. Unfortunately there is no Costco within cooee of me and I've never been to one so can't comment on them.

    Battle of the Homebrand Salted Butter: Woolies vs. ALDI vs. Coles vs. IGA

    I ONLY use salted butter, I can't see the point in using unsalted butter in a recipe only to be required to add salt! I have tried ALDI, Coles and Woolworths salted butter and my preference is for the Woolworths one, I find the ALDI one spits and spatters more, as though it has water in it. I...

    NSW government mulls electric appliance subsidy

    If we are all forced to go electric, just imagine the stress on the grid! The system wouldn't cope, power blackouts everywhere particularly in Summer when air conditioners are on and in Winter when electric heating is on. The whole thing is an absolute joke. Give me my gas hotplates and gas...
