    Ridiculous price. 😕 Just when I've got to get my first passport here. At least my wife can get an over 75 5 year passport which is cheaper. 👍 And they'll charge commission to pay by card online!!! And that's on top of the car registration and CTP I've got to pay soon!!😭

    This Surprising Habit, Not Price, Keeps Aussie Shoppers Loyal to Big Supermarkets – Are You One of Them?

    I can easily get to 7 Woolworths, 5 Aldi's and 2 Coles, so obviously go to Woolies all the time and also Aldi. They've both got everything I need. Sometimes also go to an independent fruit and veg place.

    Shoppers can’t get enough of this $10 product–and here’s why it’s disappearing fast

    There's never been any alleged frenzy for this. 😂😂😂 It's something nobody has even heard of and this is just a long winded advert for it. 🙄 Not something I'd be buying anyway.

    Originally from England, I'm glad the petrol has always been so cheap here.🙂 I use E10 all the time and currently locally it's only $1.70 less 6c a litre voucher makes it much cheaper for me. 🙂 Someone complained that 55c fuel duty was too expensive.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures—the hidden reason behind Christmas shoplifting

    I don't have any problem with it anywhere. Woolies have it at self checkout, but they've taken off the little screen now for some reason, so I can't look at myself when I'm shopping? 😁 And I'm not bothered how many tills are open as I try to use self serve as much as possible.

    Popular Aussie retailer to close 160 stores—are you ready to say goodbye?

    I haven't been around long enough to know about the good days of all those shops, but whatever comments I've read on any articles about it the main consensus seems to be when this company took over they ruined them all. Personally, I would like Rivers to survive.
