    Electronic payments are taking over: Is cash no longer king?

    There will always be a need for cash. It would be a big mistake to make us a cash less society.

    Shopper accuses Woolworths of 'daylight robbery' after being charged excessive grocery prices

    For starters you could get rid of the energy drinks. They aren't really every day staples. Never buy dish washer tablets from the supermarkets. They are half that price at the cheapie shops. It pays to shop smarter these days.

    Cadbury and Peters’ new ice cream flavours bring together the best of both worlds!

    I'm a pensioner and I love my treats, including icecreams. BUT $12 for a 460ml. tub of ice cream is not my idea of a good buy. I don't care how good it tastes. Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it. It's a rip-off. The mark-up on this product would be astronomical. Cadbury can keep their ice...

    Shopper slams Coles for ‘excessive’ plastic use on Easter buy - Is it time to say goodbye to plastic packaging?

    Paper bags don't display the item properly and I like to see what I am buying. If these were in paper bags you could be getting anything. I don't know what the big deal is with using these plastic containers. The are recyclable and made from recycled products. They also protect the product so...

    Supermarkets Stir the Pot: Popular tea brand at risk of being pushed out of Australia

    I think that the greed of Coles and Woolies has a lot to do with our inflation problem. While these companies are raising their prices they are trying to force suppliers into cutting their costs and quality. I would like to see the government step up and do something about this before they drive...

    Hemsworth family celebrates twins’ birthday with controversial prank

    It's sad that some people have to find fault in things that should be taken the way they are meant. It's not violent. It's not dangerous. It's not harmful. It's just a very funny prank. People have been doing it for a long time. Seems like some people need to grow a sense of humour and stop...

    Australians Unimpressed by Bizarre Overseas 'Tim Tam' Rip-Off

    Tim Tams are pricing themselves out of the market. I can't afford them anymore. The Aldi version "Just Divine" is less than half the price and tastes just as good. I have been buying them for ages.

    Vintage Grocery Ad

    I do remember a time when prices were this low. I also remember at the same time that wages were that low as well.

    Random act of kindness at ALDI divides the internet

    It was a lively gesture. A true act of kindness. I would have appreciated it very much. I really can't understand why anyone would be upset or angry about it. Maybe he was just passing on this kindness from a similar experience. I hope this lady gets to do the same.

    Want $25 off your next shopping trip to Coles? Here's how!

    I would live $25 off my groceries but there is no way I am going to buy $100 worth of Cadbury chocolate to get it. In your dreams Coles.

    Score big savings on groceries – here's what's dropping in price

    I never buy fruit or veges from Coles Woolies or Aldi. I would much rather support local fruit shops who help to keep prices down and support local farmers.

    Former The Project Host David Hughes Reveals Confrontation Over Contentious Joke

    The actions of the " big hairy muscley guy" are about as un-Christian as you can get. What a hypocrite. What happened to turn the other cheek? It was a bad taste joke. If the media stopped rehashing it then it might just go away and die with all the other hundreds of bad taste jokes that have...

    Bride’s outrageous plan to fund wedding shocks internet

    If you can't afford the dress than buy a cheaper one. No one really needs a $14000 wedding dress. Stop using your dog as an ATM. It's a living animal and probably still loves you despite your mistreatment. Grow up and be real.

    Roald Dahl publisher’s crackdown on 'offensive' language receives backlash: ‘Absolutely insane’

    Who's next??? Shakespeare? I'm sure this new generation will find plenty to be offended about in there. Why are catering to this generation of thin skinned people who hav

    Shoppers beware: Woolworths hit by ‘illegal’ barcode sticker scam

    I was looking for that too. Thought I had missed it and read this crap twice.

    Woolworths in hot water over change to popular service that will be ‘harder on pensioners’

    Change is inevitable. People need to accept it and use it to their advantage. If spending more than $30 is a problem then maybe they could space the shopping time out from weekly to fortnightly and still just spend $30 per week. There are usually simple solutions to these problems if you just...

    Beware: Scammer pretending to be bank employee EXPOSED on social media

    I couldn't have been that polite to someone who was trying to scam me. How that guy handled it like that is amazing. I think scammers are the lowest people on earth. I would not have been as calm as that guy. I would probably have given him a well deserved serve. But then as the scammer said he...
