You missed the point, magpie1. The word "bought" is the past tense of 'buy". He shoulf have "brought" it home

" I bought home a bonus of $3k " How do you do that?

"The quarterly age pension adjustments came into play on 20 September" No they didn't! They are half-yearly adjustments and are just short of useless. As soon as they start the payments at the new rate, cost-of-living increases eat into any benefit (a benefit which is debatable) so that, by the...

It would be appreciated if you don't shove U S American spelling (and grammar) at us. It's "neighbour"!

My rent went up from $180/week to @250/week under this Labor government which is close to a 45% increase so Rushworth shouldn't crow too loudly about the pittance of rental assistance increase and my savings were going backwards. My friend and I decided to move to Thailand and forego rental...

It's a no-brainer! These offers have to be scams as there's not even a snowball's chance in hell of getting anything extra from Centrelink.

You can bet your bottom dollar that when supply returns to normal, the supermarkets will not drop their prices commensurately

At one stage, maybe back in the Seventies/Eighties, I remember having to walk through a shallow trough of disinfectant upon disembarking. This was after being subjected to the spray session. Of course, in those days we accepted the need for it and we didn't have so many people complaining about...

Woolies is just following the advice of their Indigenous Advisory panel as they did when they were advocating the YES vote

Why was he talking to his "chronologist"? Did he want to know the time?

Bought a couple of birds-eye chillies in my shop at Woolies the other day. Tried to scan them at the self-serve. They weren't recognised by the camera, so I had to go through the menus, type "chil.." Selected the item on screen and had them on the scale but the machine wouldn't accept them...

Ten years is not enough!

As a full-time age pensioner, tax cuts or increases mean little to me. Cost of living, though, is at the forefront. Despite all the hot air coming from Absentese and Charmless, there is not a whisper in respect of pensions. A simple comparison may help them focus (not). My pension (including...

All well and good except when this is on the new LED tags used in Woolies. Then, you need to bring out your magnifying glass because the font is smaller than fly s**t.

Woolies last week. These fresh herbs were normally priced at $3.00. Now, if you're not a "member", they'll cost you an extra 20c

Woolworths dodgy "members" pricing Went to Woolies yesterday and was quite taken aback seeing a large number of "Member Price" tags in the fresh herbs section. The "usual" price for these is $3.00. Sneaky Woolies has done it again!

If your eyesight's not great, you have to bring your "fine-print" reading glasses to see some of these tags. There's a problem when the tags are up high or down low especially for older or disabled people. The thing that annoys me most about them is that the "price per weight" line is in font no...

Those digital tags! What a waste of effort. You can't read them especially if they're up high or down low, if light is reflecting off them or especially if they're in the spices/herbs section where there are two items on the one tag space and it's impossible to see the small print denoting price...

And that's what slows down self-serve. She'll probably be letting the kids do the check-out as well. Full trolleys should go to staffed checkouts.
