    ‘What a waste of food’: Coles shoppers slam disappointing discount deal

    I never see them myself but neither have we heard about any great bargains of markdowns of meat etc in quite some considerable time. Clearly Coles have stopped doing it and that stingy effort on the lamb is a prime example of their current strategy for want of a better word. No dice Coles.

    Energy companies hide key facts as households pay more than needed

    I agree and if slowing down for a few minutes is the difference between making it home at all or nit being in a prang it is a no brainer. WA statistics for road deaths and the annoying carparks because of accidents, we could all do with paying attention to this and absorb the message.
