    New budget proposal may put extra $2000 on Aussie households

    Fuel cards and relief from the highest electricity and food prices here in SA. Our Government here are way too interested in the Gather Round and fun things than getting serious about helping the aged pensioners. Their priorities suck!

    Aussie mum shares shocking price disparity between Coles and ALDI—'It's disgusting’

    That is simply untrue! Quite the opposite in fact. I have dealt with all 3 companies and Aldi is the one that always wants to deal with Australian manufacturers and farmers! Not so Coles and Woolworths! We used to make their home brand cordial and at every run, they would have someone there to...

    Have Your Say: Rising Cost of Living in Australia

    I live from the aged pension cheque to pension cheque and I don't lead a bad life. However, I am very lucky to be in a unit owned by a charity so my rent is low. I don't know how I would be if I had to pay more rent. Destitute, I would say! Unfortunately though, I have no money behind me should...

    ALDI, IGA chiefs under Senate spotlight as inquiry delves into grocery costs

    I worked for many years with Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. Aldi were so much easier and honest to work with than the Big 2 who tried to screw every cent they could out of the Manufacturers and farmers. They showed little care about these businesses and never gave their customers a thought. They...

    Report reveals Centrelink payments ‘too low’ to cover basic living costs

    The Government gives us rises in our payments based on the CPI which is usually much less than 2%. Meanwhile the cost of what we actually buy viz. Petrol, food, gas, electricity, rent et al all go up by 20+%! That means we are always behind! Stop using this incredibly unfair way of increasing...

    ALDI vs. Coles: Customer shares shocking price difference between two major supermarkets

    Aldi always use Australian Manufacturers! In fact, more times than Coles and Woolworths. The only time you see other manufacturers used in Aldi is in their centre aisles on goods other than food. Thank goodness for Aldi, I say. I save money shopping there every week.

    An RSV vaccine has been approved for people over 60. But what about young children?

    I've had RSV twice now and it's horrible. I spent days just sitting with my CPAP machine so I could breathe properly. Once gone, the cough persists for months. I'll be lining up to get the vaccination. Covid was a breeze in comparison to RSV.

    Terrifying truth revealed! Aussie woman sheds light on the dark side of Uber Eats delivery

    So, you're blaming the victim??? Anyone should be able to get their food delivery safely. I blame the idiot delivery drivers who had orders to deliver to the hotel lobby.

    Are you overspending on this simple family favourite? The hidden cost might shock you!

    I have eaten the crab lasagne at Il Centro in Brisbane several times. One of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. I would definitely pay $75 for this dish......once, just to taste it. It's a luxury dish with a luxury price, but sometimes you just have to spoil yourself.

    Another supermarket item just got more expensive, and shoppers are NOT happy!

    I was shocked to see the price of the non-alcohol beer went from $6 to $9.75 overnight in Woolworths!!! Outrageous! Also AmbiPur room deodoriser went from $6 to $7.50. My pension does not increase in line with the price rises in the supermarkets.
