    Rideshare safety fears push more commuters to look elsewhere

    In our rural area there is a service called Plan B, run by a couple of local girls. They don't only do pub and club runs.

    This 20-second video might make you think twice about what ends up in your waterways

    I must be really simple. I just cannot comprehend why anyone, in this day and age feels the need to litter. It's not like we don't have appropriate waste and recycling facilities available. Highway and roadside litterbugs really cheese me off. The chuck their rubbish from their vehicle and then...

    Updated price promise drives bigger savings for customers up to $3000

    Not sold on Aldi. For starters I no longer see the loud boasts about Aussie products. Secondly I have found some of their 'cheaper' products actually have a lower content weight than the Woolies equivalent.

    ALDI says it 'won’t be beaten on the cost of your weekly shop'—here’s what that actually means

    I cannot shop in Aldi. Apart from being a slower oldie, who can't manage the checkout process, I still have to go to Woolies or Coles to finish my shopping. I find that I can save plenty simply by making my shopping list before leaving home. I run through the week's half price and specials ads...

    Missing out on big savings? Discover how one simple switch cuts thousands from power bills

    We have 32 solar panels, all with individual inverters, so that if one goes out the rest continue operating. With 3 large capacity batteries we very seldom have to engage with the grid ( except to feed outward). We will not live long enough to 'break even' on this investment, but it's one bill...

    Could this new Aussie-made drug be the breakthrough treatment we've all been waiting for?

    From what I'm reading here, it looks like it would need to be administered at the time of the injury or stroke to prevent further damage. Maybe it will be developed further in the future to help with pde-existing injuries?

    Favourite takeaway extras disappear as new plastic ban targets everyday items

    Just an aside, I am surrounded by people (not family, I've already got them on board) who really don't care. Their theory being 'I'll be dead before anything catastrophic happens'. I find this so bloody selfish, some of these people have kids and grandkids. Leaves me wondering why they bothered...

    Remember when cash was king? Some experts say it could all vanish in just three years

    No chance. What is not accurate about Holden's assessment is that all shops close during a power outage. Just 10 days ago, anyone living in SE NSW would have experienced an internet outage (not power), the shops didn't close but a lot of them went 'cash only', including Aldi. I'd also love to...

    Woolworths slashes prices on 100+ staples—starts in a few days!

    As an aside, I don't see any of the listed products helping Australian farmers or businesses.

    BANK SAID...

    I'd have brought a bag of fire wood and told them that I bought my house at Ikea. 🤣

    Woolies just launched something new—and everyone wants one

    64 thousand dollar question, are they made of recycled material? And more/equally important, are they made in Australia.

    ‘Rolling in his grave’: Outrage over new price of iconic treat

    Not a great Freddo fan. My favourite, the good old Bertie Beetle has gone from everywhere except the Easter Show and has changed beyond recognition. 😒

    Are you making this embarrassing deed every time you shop for groceries?

    Witnessing two women walk through a supermarket, use a roll-on deodorant, re-cap it and then return it to the shelf was pretty nausiating.
