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

    For pet foods try shopping at a produce merchant. I have 2 German shepherds and the savings at the produce merchants is considerable. Most of the supermarket's specials are junk or washing powder, and who needs that every week? Dishwasher tablets try mixing 1 cup of Bicarb 1/4 cup of citric...
