    Shoppers are making a switch to home-brand products due to cost-of-living crisis impact

    My biggest laugh at "doing it tough" are those lining up to buy bloody every morning . Plus likely a couple more during the day . That's a $1000+ per year ! As I just shared elsewhere here ---- a $6 ( bulk buy when at 1/2 price) 200gm of Robert Timms Espresso coffee lasts me a month ! At least...

    Shoppers are making a switch to home-brand products due to cost-of-living crisis impact

    If Aldi, and to lessor extent costco/others were not in Australia, we would be paying a lot more at the main supermarkets . They are the main reason coles/ww have their own high quality lines , and why there is so much at "1/2 price" for week.

    Please remember folks ; it's NOT the fault of person on the phone -- can be hard to stay calm but you need to .

    Outraged customer exposes KFC's 'small' chicken cuts: Are you getting less than you paid for?

    After awhile you realize just how bad and how hellishing expensive some fast take away "meals" are and you also realize that you don't really need to buy the **** . Sadly; it does take awhile to learn that . Very often it's faster and far less expensive to cook at home ; but sadly that can take...

    Are you unknowingly risking your Netflix and Disney+ accounts? Warning issued for those sharing their passwords!

    Living alone is rather expensive and the expense I have not been able to justify are streaming services . Only way possible is to share an account . Even a single person using the internet is bad enough . Been $60 pm but it's about increase $5-6 (??) Great service though with Aussie broad band...

    This ‘insignificant’ detail at Woolworths could be fooling you into paying more

    I will give you another ; "grass feed" or "grain feed" Grain feeder means the animal was finished off in a feed lot and feed prefect rations to keep you happier more often. Many would say "grass feed" is better , and that can be true for usually young cattle finished in the paddock. However...

    This ‘insignificant’ detail at Woolworths could be fooling you into paying more

    Bit off topic it's a bit like buying "cheap" garden stones in small bags . When you work out the cost by the tonne you would never buy the small "cheap" bags . I have forgotten the figures but most local landscape suppliers will seem very inexpensive ; especially when most will let you fell...

    Not totally convinced without trying but have downloaded for look sometime later . I have been a photographer/happy snapper for over 50 years and there is no doubt digital is a godsend for keeping photos organized "to be findable'' in 10-20-50 years . However that ONLY happens if the work is...
