    Coles’ major move against theft could transform shopping as we know it

    Perhaps lowering their prices would stop many people from stealing? Probably stealing to make ends meet (which I believe is wrong). The cost of lower prices may be a lot less than the cost of theft. Ofcourse there are those who would steal anyway, if only for the thrill of getting away with it...

    ‘This is disgraceful’ – Shoppers furious over Coles’ controversial Mother’s Day display

    I agree. However it might have looked better had they not put a number of "more for Mum" signs above those items that people were objecting too. A child going to buy a present for their Mum could innocently consider it was an OK present and then not understand why Mum didn't appreciate it. But...

    Shopper finds disgusting surprise in ALDI baked beans: You won't believe what was floating on top!

    If it was a snake, how did it get in there? How would it fit? Therefore how did it not get seen before packaging? Doesn't say much for the cleanliness of the factory. Puts me off can foods all together. Yikes! I would react the same way.

    Outrage Ignited: The Shockingly Rude Note Left on Disabled Woman's Car That'll Make Your Blood Boil

    I had a similar experience but in an opposite situation. I drove my Sister who had a serious heart condition to shops. I found a car park close to the shops so did not use a disabled car park. BUT my sister kept her disability sticker on view all the time. Anyway we got out of the car and...

    ‘Am I Really Elderly?’ Seniors Weigh in on the Age Debate

    I think I prefer being called elderly, rather than old. It seems that it is the other way round for most here, but elderly to me means you are getting older, while old means you have reached old. Anyway at 77 I have to admit I am definitely elderly, even though in my mind I still feel young.

    Shopper accuses Woolworths of 'daylight robbery' after being charged excessive grocery prices

    I don't always trust specials. I've been to Woolworth and seen one of my frequently bought items on special, therefore I knew it's normal price. I found the "special price" was dearer than the normal. I can sympathise with this lady. What I bought for $50 only 12 months or so ago, now costs...

    Frozen is not fresh: Woolworths admits to ‘mistake’

    I bring my bread home and store all but one bag in the freezer anyway. However buying it frozen to bring home would mean it would thaw out on the way home ( bread thaws out quickly) and would mean freezing the second time which may not be a good idea. I understand gluten free bread may be a...

    ALDI shoppers shocked by unbelievable price for chicken dinner: That’s fowl play!

    I doubt that the richest shopper in the world would have bought a chicken at that price. As for me I would have a heart attack on the spot. Much more than a pensioners whole grocery budget. 😂

    Australian Seniors Vote to Tax the Rich!

    I don't know that the wealthy should pay extra tax per say. I mean I think everyone should pay the same percentage without the percentage being increased after you earn over a certain amount. I will use 10% tax as an example only, for ease of demonstration (could be 20% or 30%). If someone...

    Beloved Australian ice cream brand announces product ‘shrinkflation’ amidst cost of living crisis - Here’s what you need to know

    I stop buying any product that reduces the size. I understand the reasoning, however if I pay the same for less amount I don't consider the product worth spending money on in the first place. So if prices go up customers will not buy, if content goes down customers will also not buy. What...

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

    I have no problem with the idea of precut fruit of any kind. However I have fou

    Centrelink wait times soar due to severe staff shortages. Here’s what the CEO has to say.

    I have found in-office visit very respectful and friendly. However phone waiting time has always been long, not just in the last year. And much longer than 1/2 hour. We are instructed to perhaps ring back later if we want, but who wants to start the wait all over again?

    Joke Froggie

    Put the word tad together with pole and you have tadpole. Separately they mean a tiny bit Polish. But a frog is a tadpole before turning into a frog. Therein lies the joke.

    Shoppers are RAVING over THIS $45 Kmart kitchen gadget

    I don't really see the benefit of this item over a stainless one used on the stove. I mean it still uses electricity. You still have to wash each compartment. You still have to add water. And to top it off it only lasts 2 years? A stainless steal one lasts many years. Plus no doubt other...
