    I wish them all the best & having separate interests is healthy. I don't read or listen to the Media crap that is dished out today. Their lives are no body's business so move on.

    ‘Just a word of advice…’ The alarming truth about supermarket meat

    What a stupid comment "Don't buy meat from Aldi' I have never had a problem with their meat & find it very good quality. All supermarkets can have problems if it's not handled correctly from supplier to shelves.

    That's why kitchens have double sinks. One to wash & the other to rinse. If water is a problem scoop out into a bucket to reuse. I have a dishwasher but with only 2 of us prefer to hand wash.

    ALDI's latest release deemed 'overpriced' and 'lazy' by shoppers

    I am guilty. If I see the $7.50 fruit salad pack reduced to $2.40 I purchase it. To buy the individual fruits separately would cost so much more & also wastage if not eaten. Agree pity about the plastic packaging . I wonder what they will replace it with?

    Shoppers furious over errant trolleys in car park – who's to blame?

    People are just lazy & selfish today. I use the Aldi token(99cents) so don't have to hunt for a $1 coin. No stray trollies at Aldi but plenty at other supermarkets Coles,Woolworths & Foodland plus in the suburb streets. If I shop at these stores I return to the bay.
