    ‘Don’t change what’s not broken’: Shoppers slam new transformation to Coles’ popular service

    We live in a small country town more than 30 minutes away from the Big Three (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi). Thanks to our hardworking junk mail team, we can compile our shopping lists at home and plan weekly trips into the 'biggish' smoke, combining grocery shopping with other necessary errands...

    ‘What’s that smell?’: Man’s shocking ALDI rice discovery makes his stomach turn

    Shopper shares ‘disgusting’ find on Woolworths shelf: ‘Unacceptable’

    Earning Extra Income With Election Day Work: The Tech Guy – Dr Al

    It's a great adventure out and one gets paid for it! Yes, one works hard for the particular period, and frustration levels can be high when the set-up at the venue is badly organised, but it's not as though it's one's day job, and the payment can fill a hole or two! Sadly, due to my...

    Virgin Australia reveals game-changing pet policy

    As long as they also poo and pee on the owner's lap! I love pets, but unless the pet is drugged to the gills and sleep all the way during the trip, I cannot see how this will not create major anxiety in the animal.

    Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry so healthy

    Silly me, I should've phrased my question better. I don't understand what the purpose of a thickener is in a stir-fry. The vegetables can just as well be tossed in the oil & ginger & garlic mix?

    Score the ultimate deal: Unlock millions of discounted seats in Qantas's massive sale!

    Somehow the airline companies never offer specials to destinations I want to visit, or at the time I want to visit (and, no, I don't want to travel during peak seasons).

    Drivers beware: Speeding could cost you way more in this state starting July!

    My personal gripe is about the fact that one is not allowed to exceed the speed limit when overtaking another vehicle, and I'm talking about the open road specifically. We all know the scenario: The vehicle ahead of you is about 5 to 10 km below the speed limit and slows down even further on...

    Qantas customer blasts airline over costly $1,900 mistake: 'Zero empathy'

    The 100% accuracy of names has been a policy for years, on all airlines that I have ever travelled with, so the comment from Gerard Brody, Chairman of the Consumer's Federation of Australia, namely 'Refusing to allow a simple name change and imposing additional costs by forcing the customer to...

    Scared of the asbestos health threat? Expert shares advice on how to stay safe

    @SDC Staff, I BEG you, please remember your target market and stop using hyperbolic, hysterical language in your headers. Using this article as an example: The dot point in the email screams world disaster—The End is Nigh: HEALTH ALERT: Millions are at risk as this hazardous threat worsens...

    ‘Customer service is dead’: New Coles self-checkout policy infuriates shopper

    And yet this problem is so easy to fix. Get rid of the self-checkouts and bring back human cashiers to scan and pack our shopping.

    Find out the virus that increases one’s risk of developing dementia!

    Oh. My. Word. I'm doomed. Have suffered from (there's no other suitable expression for it) cold sores since around the time I went to school. And no, I wasn't kissing any boys. Not that I remember anyway. Those were the Dark Ages when no ointment was available to stop the bubbling virus in...

    Urgent: Asbestos spreads in schools and ALDI supermarket

    Thank you for bringing some perspective to this latest frenzy! @Joydie ! One would swear everyone will get Mesothelioma cancer just by walking through a park where contaminated mulch has been found. Yet another example of mass hysteria brought about by our so-called leaders.

    Is your Pre Paid Funeral Really Paid

    @SDC Staff, I'd really appreciate it if you could share information about funeral options and costs. This is far more relevant to me (and probably all your readers) than the latest amazing fantabulous offering from Kmart.

    Huh? Yes, Kate's having some difficulties, but her status and wealth remove most of the stresses and obstacles that 'normal' women experience. There are millions of women in the world who cope with health battles (their own and that of ageing parents), while going off to work every day—often...
