Nothing to encourage Aboriginals to become part of Australia when they are valued much higher than everybody else. They already get discounts on so much, this is just another kick in the teeth for non Aboriginals.

I agree with you. We lived country but in summer on warm nights we still had to keep the window shut as our neighbors 2 big dogs barked all night. She needed hearing aids so never heard them! I sent her several messages saying it was 12:30 am- Dogs barking. 1:30 am dogs still barking, 2:30 am...

I’m so tired of being told to turn the microwave off when it’s not being used. How many microwaves have the plug at the back of the cupboard making it in accessible? I would guess every single one in a built in cupboard. Can’t turn the TV off as it will lose all its current date and time settings.

We hardly ever buy red meat. Forced to become self funded retirees because of duel redundancies at a late age, we have to be very careful of our weekly grocery bill and red meat is just way too expensive. we can’t “shop around” as we live regional.

Lots of people waited for the Boxing Day sales so they could buy things they needed (or wanted) for far less than normal. many may have waited until Boxing Day to buy Christmas gifts.

I bought a packet of muesli, same one I bought each week and put it into a plastic pourer. I noticed the new packets weren’t filling the pourer the same so I weighed the new bag. It turned out to be quite a lot less than stated on the bag! Cat dry food was another, the bag used to be nearly...

We live rural, have done since 2017 when we were both made redundant. When we watch the news now we thank heaven we no longer live in the suburbs. We hate having to go anywhere near the suburbs now. So much traffic and noise!

Spot on. We moved to a rural town on the Lime Coast of SA. In this town it’s a 2 to 3 month wait to see a GP and for new patients it’s a fee of $180. Then $90 thereafter.

Exactly.

When I renewed our home insurance (which stated a 40% increase) I told them we have CCTV cameras with a recorder. They said they only give a discount if it’s a system monitored by a security company. They charge anywhere from $180 to $720 per year for the service. So it’s not really saving you...

If they are matching the donation then I don’t have a problem with it. if you can’t afford it don’t donate. I think Coles and Woolworths should be offering discounts at the self serve checkouts. After all we are scanning and packing our own groceries, a job that saves them $$$$$$ for every...

these scams will keep happening as long as stupid people fall for them. As for going into your local bank? What local bank? They are closing them all down in country towns so we have no choice but to make phone calls. I had one issue where they refused to discuss my own account with me because...

I liked Target in America. It had everything you needed under one roof. (Although i would prefer groceries from a supermarket) but for us who just arrived and hired a motorhome, we needed a few extras. Australian country Targets are crappy little stores with high price tags. Give me a big K...

As long as they don’t put a lock on their trolleys as soon as they leave the shopping centre like USA supermarkets. We couldn’t wheel our holiday groceries to our motorhome! (Which was in the carpark!

NEVER click on links. We get constant messages from Auspost asking us to verify our delivery details via a link, I’ve had several from Toll link saying my account is overdue, (we live 400 klms from the nearest Toll road!). I’ve had NBA send me links telling me someone has hacked my account...

. I can’t believe how much they charge for a block of butter or a tub of margarine. I’m sure they have both doubled in price in the last year.

Never found a herbal remedy yet that really fixes insomnia. For many seniors $35 plus shipping is very expensive just to try out a product that might not do anything.

The yellow price tags to advertise discounts were fake. How many times did we lift the tag to see the same price on the original tag. They tried this on one item we bought every couple of weeks So we knew what the regular price was.

how many people live near Costco? 1 store in SA and 1 store in WA 😂😂

Not many people live near a Costco.
