    Kmart cleaning product priced at $6 sells out fast as shoppers rush in

    Seriously?! I remember these being around as a joke along with knee and body pads for babies to crawl around in as a joke years ago. By the time you walked around you could vacuum much more efficiently. Ah, well, each to his/her own. The speed I move these days it’d be like painting the...

    Mum’s dream number plate denied for unexpected reason—could you be next?

    Be interested to know why her parents chose the name or where they got it from. Maybe old stoners from way back and thought it was a bit of fun or just heard it somewhere……mmm?

    The aisle’s empty and so are we: Loyal shoppers left reeling as ALDI and Coles quietly drop fan favourites

    I drink black coffee but love hot chocolate made with full cream milk, no water allowed. I have tried the sachets because the flavours sound so nice but when made as directions say they just taste like flavoured hot water. Do the sachets work if made with hot milk rather than hot water? Anyone...

    Sweet comeback: Nestlé revives classic Aussie favourite

    Great except for the fact that once-upon-a-time they weren’t these horrible fruit flavours that the brands try to tell us are healthier but were the unique red, green, orange and yellow flavours that were unique to lollies and cordial drinks. If you’re going to eat lollies then surely you don’t...

    Wait…are they really using AI models to sell us clothes?

    I don’t know if it’s a problem. I’ve never tried on something I’ve bought online, then looked in the mirror and thought I looked anything like the model. Which I find to be a great mystery after some of the adverts you read. “Suck-in” undies are a prime example! I once wore 3 pairs of them...

    It’s come to this! Fruit shops now need signs to stop shoppers from snapping broccoli

    Why wouldn’t the grocer, if the problem was really that bad as to threaten a $1 fine, cut the stalks off himself as sell as a separate item next to the heads?! Surely that would work as a win for everyone. You can buy as much or as little of each part of the plant and the grocer makes a bit...

    Remember real bakery bikkies? ALDI’s $5.79 tray might surprise you!

    What I’d really, really love would be for someone to bring back the Cookie Man to shopping centres. I don’t eat hardly any biscuits at but I could just about devour a bag of those without taking a breath!!

    ‘No way. Oh my god.’: Watch what this robot did at a local Kmart!

    If the store hired staff to only man click and collect items when it was introduced then I suppose the new feature may cause some unemployment. If, however, the store just added extra duties on to their staff I can’t see why they would fire staff because that would leave a shortage of staff to...

    ‘Pride comes before a fall’: Derryn Hinch breaks silence on recent health woes

    Yep! I gotta say that when I was many,many years younger, a few double ouzo and cokes always eased any pain!!

    Types of cases for school

    Types of cases for school My dad made me a wooden port at one time to take to school. Can’t remember what it was like to carry and use but have a vivid recollection of what it looked like. Got to say it was unique if nothing else.

    Would you pay $50 for a water bottle? You don’t have to now—thanks to Kmart’s $15 version

    Going slightly off topic for a moment and I have to say this is NOT my idea, but one I saw on another forum. For grandparents taking the grandkids out for a day can end up costing a small fortune by the time you’ve bought snack, lunch and cooling ice blocks on a hot summer day. You can obviously...
