    This supermarket's controversial feature further sparks discussion among shoppers

    We were going through the self serve checkout when a product didn’t scan so I called the ass over and made her aware of the problem. She managed to get it to scan but then bought up all my previous scanned items, which I found confronting and made me feel like a thief. I was uncomfortable and...

    State officially bans single-use items and other everyday plastic products

    So how do we get a Chinese takeaway, the one cuisine I can’t cook as well as the Chinese? They use plastic containers and a carrier bag to carry it away with. In the UK they used to use the silver cartons with a cardboard lid.

    Relief waves roll in as cost-of-living payments make a big splash—check your eligibility now!

    Wow $243 that’s going to go a long way. Other states get concessions on their gas bills we don’t. Also some other states get senior discounts in Coles and Woolworths again we don’t. Our state doesn’t offer much in the way of relief with the cost of living.

    This mum's genius grocery trick gets her free food at checkout

    We recently went through Coles and I noticed that the lobster tales scanned up as $9.50 each. The deli was priced up as $8.00 which is why we picked them up. However on going to the customer service counter I was sent back to the deli for them to put a barcode on at the correct price but they...

    ‘They should investigate restaurants’: Why pay more when this Coles item costs $1?

    We are always charged for a small dollop of mustard when ordering steak. We can buy a whole jar for less at any supermarket.

    Is Coles replacing staff with self-service checkouts?

    The checkout member told us only this week that Coles have a staff shortage and said that this is why only one large self service lane was open and two large staffed lanes were in use. We are thinking of either doing more shopping at Drakes or Woolworths. 50% of the items we were after this week...

    Shoppers are complaining about 'flimsy' paper bags: 'Get your act together'

    Why can’t we have cardboard boxes to pack our food shopping. Instead of the supermarkets breaking the boxes and recycling them they could be used by us and we could then use them each time we go grocery shopping.

    Young Aussies may bear the burden of new levy for the ageing population: What does it mean for your grandchildren?

    Why shouldn’t they? We paid our taxes all our lives much of which helps the youngsters of today get paid on the dole whilst playing computer games and doing drugs.
