    Kmart worker’s secret: When stores do markdowns - 'Trust me, this is 100 per cent true'

    And btw... "Monday" is hardly an "exact time". Lol I don't believe our local Kmart does this on any specific day anyway.

    Woman makes a scene on Jetstar flight over 'petty' reason

    I wonder what her story is? I agree she shouldn't abuse people and needed to be removed from the flight, but let's try to understand she may have a lot deeper issues than we are aware of.

    Coles launches a new ‘trolley parking bay’ at self-serve checkouts – do YOU approve of the change?

    I'm hearing the same complaint. Not enough staff on checkouts. At Coles last week only 1 checkout was available and that was the express 15 items one. I had a few more groceries than that, and was ready for an argument, but I was allowed through. Luckily there were not a great deal of...

    Remove that sticky coating.

    Remove that sticky coating. You know the coating. It's on ball point pens, hair brush handles, keyboards and a myriad other items. When it goes sticky you think you have to throw the item away. Not so. Put some methylated spirits on a rag or even paper towel, and rub it away. You might...

    Mum turns her backyard into a boho movie paradise using a Big W camping buy!

    That looks very cool. I'd like to do this with my grandkids next summer, but what sort of projector do you use? How is the sound? What else do I need for the set up?

    Woolworths gives away FREE fruit to children, but some shoppers are taking advantage

    When holidaying in North Qld a couple if years ago I had my young grandson in his stroller and was shopping in Woolies. I asked where the free fruit was and the staff member advised me that they had decided not to continue with the stand, as backpackers were making a habit of helping themselves...

    Kmart baby monitor allegedly HACKED, parents warned to "throw it out"

    Actually, might not have let *you* down, but other families were not so lucky. I think monitors give parents, especially new parents, great peace of mind and I'm glad my anxious daughter had one for her babies.

    Pensioners are taking drastic measures to cut down on rising power bills - here are some sad realities faced by elderly people

    What's wrong with Mr O'Briens pension? $600 per fortnight doesn't make any sense to me. Does he have another income or assets that reduce his fortnightly payment ? I don't understand.

    Kmart kitchen buy will make your meals taste like they're from a 5-star restaurant!

    Hmmm. I tried to purchase one of your kmart recommended products (a chair), but the staff of our very large local kmart shook their heads. Had never seen it. Definitely not in stock. When searching on Google I saw a reference to this particular chair as causing a "buying frenzy", but the date...

    Melbourne woman at her wit's end over roadworks sign

    Well let's have the whole story. We are all so ready to criticise without knowing the full facts. Come on people, let's try to understand why she was so upset. It may well be justified.

    Woolworths to introduce major technology change in fruit and veggie aisle: "The future of retail"

    And will this mean that we get price per kilo when ordering on line? Instead of per item price for the likes of capsicum and broccoli, sometimes receiving very small ones at a big price.? We can hope

    Social media users reveal how they have been scammed from text messages and emails, to being pressured into paying by fraudsters abroad

    Haha. I've done similar, by pretending that I'm really, really old and confused, get them to repeat their spiel over and over for aaages, then revert to my normal voice and tell them to stop scamming innocent people. Response? Click.

    Woolies employees reveal ONE of their pet peeves – customers requesting "no substitutions" in their orders

    Substitutions can be frustrating, ending up with a completely unsuitable product or flavours you really dislike. A refund might be offered but is not always convenient. Another peeve I have, is that both the big supermarkets sell capsicums etc *per item* and not by weight. I've ended up with 1...

    Mum leaves filthy toilet seat GLISTENING thanks to unlikely Chemist Warehouse buy - “Holy moly! You’re a saviour!”

    I think it *is* a different angle, but it reminds me of those beauty cream ads before and after shots. The lighting in the "before" shot is very poor. My comment should be written in "sarcastica" font, if it existed.
