    Aussies share food items they miss due to 'repulsively absurd' prices

    I won't give up my Olive Oil - no way. Vegetable oils are a health hazard - I know people say I have been using Margarine & vegetable oils for 50 + years and I am still Ok. But are they really. Have you ever looked at how & what Canola Oil is made? The thing is when & if you dine out and have...

    Aussies share food items they miss due to 'repulsively absurd' prices

    Don't have the following unless they are on special: mushrooms, berries, bananas, salmon, lamb chops. Don't eat Maccas, KFC etc anyway. Don't go out for lunch often either. Cancelled our Private Hospital cover early last year. Haven't had a holiday since March 2022 for our 50th Wedding...

    Albanese government's energy initiative promises relief for Aussie households amid rising costs

    I would have thought 18 panels would have given you a credit seeing you are the only person in the house. As I said we had a credit even when we had 2 teenagers full time in the house. But having Solar Hot Water does make a difference to the electricity bill.

When it came to its use by date (it did pay for itself though) we switched back to electric HW system for a few years until we needed a new heater due to the water in our rural town at the time. We then went back to Solar Hot Water (which is a BIG saving...

    Investigation reveals another energy retailer received welfare payments from vulnerable Australians

    Surely these companies would not still be receiving this money IF Centrelink were not forwarding onto them. I am not sticking up for them but just stating a fact. 1. Did the customer tell Centrelink that they had...

    Pro-cash movement calls for nationwide boycott of Coles and Woolworths

    Same here I don't use self serve checkouts and if there is a long queue at a checkout I look for a staff member and ask for another one to be opened. I never have any problems using CASH at my local Coles in a rural area (might be different in the cities). I use CASH most of the time.

    Just because you pay them cash does not mean they are not going to pay tax on it, but they don't have to pay the bank charges for the card transaction.
