    Bunnings stands by in-store pet policy amid ‘dog-free’ hour outcry

    As a dog breeder and owner for many years, I fail to understand why people think it is a treat for their dogs to be taken to Bunnings!! I think it is an ego trip, ie "Look at my dog - isn't he nice" and no consideration for the animal. My dogs are my fur babies yet under no circumstances would...

    Police arrest mum in her underwear over unpaid bill

    Nobody in their right mind would open the door half naked!!! Why didn't she honour her promise to return? I think she like to be a victim. Poor police are only doing their job. As for the daughter - what is the issue as a neighbour was looking out for her. No sympathy whatsoever - apart...

    You could be sitting on a fortune with this old CorningWare that's now worth $50k!

    You can put whatever price you like on an item but it doesn't mean that it will sell. Out of curiosity I have been watching these closely as I have a couple of sets - not that I plan to sell them - but not seen any results as yet. I think it is pie in the sky stuff to be honest. Human nature...

    Woolworths probes claim of frog found in woman's dinner

    I cannot believe it! Surely she would have seen something that BIG when she opened the bag? Who on earth would blithly tip salad out of a bag into a sauce without washing it first or at least checking for any blighted bits.

    Australian airlines faced with new problems as plane seats ‘shrink’

    Unfortunately it is a fact that if seats were larger to accommodate obese people then there would be less seats on a plane. In order to achieve the same bottom line [pardon the pun!!] the airline would then have to increase the price of tickets. Resulting in more complaints? Of course...

    Kmart's controversial solution to checkout woes: A first look at the Melbourne store trial

    I used to shop at KMart regularly but since the ridiculous set up of the check-outs avoid it like the plague. When the change first occurred I had a broken ankle and was horrified having to hobble all the way back to a long trailing line at the central check-out then hobble back to the store...

    This mum's warning about a Kmart item might save your grandkid!

    Thank goodness not permanent damage to the little chap. However it is totally irresponsible to let a child wander around with a drink. Big enough to toddle around then big enough to be sat down and enjoy a drink. Parents these days..... 'nuf said!!

    Scam alert: This Aussie grandmother lost a whopping $750,000 in a short amount of time

    If it sounds too good to be true it normally is. How can people be so stupid then expect the bank to make good their stupidity. Yes, I feel sorry for the lady in question but people have to take responsibility for their actions. There has been plenty of information on the media about banking...

    This shocking photo of a boat parked on a Sydney street ignited a fierce neighbourhood feud—find out why!

    No different from parking a caravan in the street providing the registration fee has been paid. Inner city parking is a problem in all cities and a case of first in, best dressed. As for school children - perhaps it is time they learnt to walk to school like we all used to, whatever the weather.

    Woman asks the internet: Should you be embarrassed if your partner is a 'cheapskate'?

    Maybe because of his amazing and thoughtful ways of handling money is why he is a successful VP of a company. Hope he ditches her and finds somebody who appreciates him.

    Not a bit in favour however surely it is up to the parents to boycott? Ultimately it is up to a parent what their child is exposed to.

    A woman once got arrested for… Cleaning?

    I would be mortified if somebody came into my home uninvited regardless of what their intentions were. She was trespassing and should face the consequences for sure.

    The real reason ALDI doesn't have a customer service phone number

    Why do people keep complaining about Aldi? They know full well how the company operates and if they don't like it, shop elsewhere!! Nobody is forcing them to patronise the stores. I have shopped there for years and know how good the quality is, how low the prices are and what excellent staff...

    Plans to roll out new digital IDs push forward—whether we like it or not

    OK if you live in a city but in a rural area we have no mobile signal - how are we supposed to manage then.

    Shopper reveals some op shops are 'overcharging' customers for secondhand clothes from Kmart

    Sadly these Charity Shops have suffered badly since Covid and I think they are desperate to make a profit. However nobody is forcing a shopper to purchase an over-priced item. Yes, bring it to the attention of the staff but do it nicely as they are nearly always volunteers and not the person...

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    Recently I needed $10 for a purchase at the market and only had a $50 note. Went into my bank and asked if they could change it for me. The teller told me she wasn't allowed to do that!! I couldn't believe it and asked what was the point of being open if you can't help a customer...

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

    I always do a mental tally of my shopping so I have a rough idea of what the total should be. Also try to keep special priced items together at the checkout and watch to ensure they are scanned correctly. Last of all I check the docket before leaving the store. OK, it takes a few moments but...
