    Alarming changes Woolies customers have been forced to make to their shopping habits

    I have found another way to buy meat, and that is through Chrisco. I buy all my meat in bulk, and it is delivered once a year just before Christmas. It all goes into the tucker box freezer, and I defrost only what I need to make some freezer meals. When the next year comes around, I check how...

    Alarming changes Woolies customers have been forced to make to their shopping habits

    So many of you that live in or near cities where there is more competition ought to try living in the country. Many of us only have two choices, Coles, or Woolies and that is a bit of a trial. By the time we have paid our electricity, water, rent, telephone, Car Rego, and insurances we are not...

    Viral feud between comedians over Coles vs. Woolworths will leave you in stitches

    I agree too. I found it to be an attack on the senses by one brother yelling all the time and the disgusting constant use of the "F" word. Why don't people learn that it doesn't make a person sound like a big person by using constant vulgarities. I have never used the word, nor the "C" word...

    Viral feud between comedians over Coles vs. Woolworths will leave you in stitches

    I personally always shop at Woolworths because I can find all the items I require. There are times when said items are not available anymore and that could be due to overseas suppliers no longer making the item and that is not Woolies fault. Woolies is more ordered in its layouts, and I love the...

    Is your daily cleaning routine as intense as these Australians?

    These people have a problem and have become addicted to cleaning. I feel they should go out and get a hobby they can enjoy as well as the company. They have made themselves a slave to cleaning and their home. It is sad really because most of the house cleaning can be done as you go. When...

    Can supplements or diet reduce symptoms of arthritis? Here’s what the evidence says

    Hi, me again. I forgot to add my email address:- [email protected]. I also must add that I used to smoke and drink but I quit it all around 30 years ago, but I imagine that some of the damage was done by that age. We never really are taught strongly enough when we are...

    Can supplements or diet reduce symptoms of arthritis? Here’s what the evidence says

    Hello WideBayMike, I would very much like to take you up on the offer of your diet. I am seventy-three and was continually active up until covid hit us, and it really has done a lot of people some damage. For me, it was the beginning of the struggle which escalated over the next two years, as...

    Thank you Dingo for your information and I shall certainly check it out. I shop from CATCH all the time and they are a great website for bulk buying and the quality of their products is always spot on.

    Could you be eligible for up to $53k per year? 275k In-Home Care Packages Available

    Finally, we have a way to get help. I live in the country and as often as I have asked around or gone to people of authority (medical) I have been given the royal runaround as to where, whom, how I am able to get some assistance. I want to remain independent and would just like a small amount of...

    Paying out of pocket for GP consultations - worth the cost or fattening doctors’ wallets?

    I am old enough to remember when doctors would visit your home when called 24 hrs a day. Gone are the days when your local GP meant the oath they took when they decided to be a doctor. Yes, there are many good ones out there who genuinely want to help their patients get well, but, in the...

    Big cash splash under the cost of living concession helps thousands of Australians

    Why doesn't the government realise that these 'one of' payments will really assist pensioners and those on benefits? To be honest, a $50 a fortnight raise would be more substantial in assisting we lower class citizens (of which we are compared to the main public) to cope and manage our lives. I...

    This everyday buy could be ruining your washing machine - find out why you should stop using it now

    I agree with you LMW as I was told that softeners clog up the pipes also and switched to vinegar, so now I wonder who is right about all this. Personally, I would go with what a repairman informs you of, but I feel that the age of the machine may also be a big indicator of what is happening...

    Danger during winter: Mum left in 'excruciating pain' after scalding hot water injury

    I'm an old British granny now and I still use hot water bottles in the middle of winter. The one thing you should always do when filling a bottle with boiling water is, put a small amount of cold in first and then fill the bottle. DO NOT FILL THE BOTTLE TO CAPACITY because the hot water will...

    Is it possible to feed a family of five on a weekly budget of $120? Social media debates

    What he is asking in today's climate of ever-expanding prices, I know it is hard, and yes, a budget is a wise move to make if you are trying to save. Instead of getting into a few rounds of arguments and fights, why not suggest he plant a veggie garden since he does the gardens, that way you...

    Everything you need to know to receive the $250 one-off cash payment for pensioners

    Too true. I actually "wonder when" we are going to get an honest politician (Prime Minister) instead of these so called "God Faring" goody two shoes who constantly lie because they think their imaginary saviour is going to forgive them, every time they ask her? Oops, him. We have had some good...

    Everything you need to know to receive the $250 one-off cash payment for pensioners

    Interesting thoughts to ponder and you could be right on many subjects, but I blame parents. So many of them give in to their children and let them do for themselves because they must work to pay off debts. Personally, I have never owned a home because I have moved around with jobs etc, and now...

    Everything you need to know to receive the $250 one-off cash payment for pensioners

    I hear that the government wants older people back in the workforce. WHY!! We have done our share of paying taxes and being loyal to this country and what are they doing? Penalising us for doing so and then expecting us to work even harder when we are worn out, in constant pain and more tired...

    Everything you need to know to receive the $250 one-off cash payment for pensioners

    You have hit the nail on the head 'goodmorning', and I agree whole heartedly. Today we only get prime ministers who think that constantly criticising their opposition is the best way to gain votes and have us all in their pockets, but the truth is, he is simply a bully, a liar and has NO idea...
