    Shocking discovery: What one ALDI customer found will leave you disgusted

    I think I have shopped at Aldi about 6 times. Wasn't impressed with most of what they stock. I can't accept packing my own groceries if the prices are the same as the others, where they are mostly packed for you. Most fruit and veg is kept in cold storage for up to a year before being put on the...

    This Personal Trainer Eats $6.95 Yum Cha Pork Gyozas for Weight Loss–Are They Your Secret Weapon Too?

    Sorry you cannot our walk or out run a bad diet. You need to eat nutrient dense foods and walk a bit. Most people have no idea that 90% of what is in the supermarket isn't real food. Just highly processed junk that puts weigh on and makes them sick

    This Personal Trainer Eats $6.95 Yum Cha Pork Gyozas for Weight Loss–Are They Your Secret Weapon Too?

    Pork (44%), Cabbage, Wheat Flour (15%), Chives (10%), Water, Sugar, Salt, Soy Sauce, Flavour Enhancer (621) with these ingredients I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll. Wheat flour is inflammatory, sugar in there too and the worst one. MSG. No thanks

    Are you ready for a cashless society? How Coles' latest change will affect your shopping routine

    I really feel for the elderly still living in their own homes who like to use cash. Some don't have the computer skills to monitor and manage their savings online and prefer to go to the ATM or bank to get cash out. Also it will put paid to many market stalls where the cost of getting a mobile...

    Should GPs bring up a patient’s weight in consultations about other matters? We asked 5 experts

    Well one of them has worked for Mars and also got funding from Kelloggs so would not believe a word she says. Best way to look at obesity is not as a disease in itself but the result of what we eat or have eaten over a few years. Highly processed package stuff (not real food) and high sugar...

    Vanilla Cupcakes Vegan

    Nothing healthy about this one. I have no issues for people wanting to be vegan but this a sugar bomb and like all the other "health sweet treats" it goes toward the rise in blood glucose and eventually diabetes if you eat a lot of it. Personally I would not touch it. The flour is highly...

    RBA in hot water over staffer’s Kmart, BIG W email comment; Sunrise’s Nat Barr zeroes in

    The politicians aren't the biggest issue. The unelected bureaucrats are. They get paid by us the tax payer but do half a job then empire build to get more money and a higher level in the system. The big wigs at the top should be pushed out and the slug made to work for a living. Anything above...

    RBA in hot water over staffer’s Kmart, BIG W email comment; Sunrise’s Nat Barr zeroes in

    Public institutions should be careful about how they spend THEIR money. No it's OUR money crap heaps. You are paid by the tax payer to do your job not sit around swilling French champagne and eating top end food. Just sit in the board room with a cup of coffee and a piece of cheesecake. You...

    Shocking medical disaster: Botched varicose vein treatment leads to leg amputation for elderly patient

    Just one of many actions by doctors that maim and kill. Try to keep away from them as much as I can. Putting chemicals in our bodies is not a good idea

    Are your airfares set to soar? Virgin Australia's grim news for travellers amid emission reductions

    At this rate they will shut it all down. No business of these sizes can afford to do net zero and it's a con anyway. Just a way to stop the plebs doing anything. Cut it down, cut it out, shut it up, lock it down. All for what. Some spurious idea by the big end of town to control it all and make...

    Big savings at Woolworths: Over 450 price drops are about to happen! Will your favourite product get cheaper?

    yes they usually are and also a lot of them are overseas products not Australian so you are not supporting the local market

    Big savings at Woolworths: Over 450 price drops are about to happen! Will your favourite product get cheaper?

    Sorry there is no association between Woolworths South Africa and Woolworths Australia. Just the same name

    Woolworths' BIG change: They’re doing what with their shopping trolleys?!

    Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Just another costly gimmick to get people to spend more. Just dump all the highly processed "foods" in the supermarkets, buy fresh where you can, tinned if you need to, like sardines and tomatoes. Eat only real food and dump the idea meat is dangerous. Just a...

    Coles' skyrocketing prices cause outrage

    I agree with the shareholder greed and also the high end management get too much. I use the points from Woolworths for Christmas. This year I will have in excess of $200 to spend. That is a big shop for me even buying just meat, eggs and dairy and the usual household stuff like cleaners and...

    Coles' skyrocketing prices cause outrage

    yes it is sad and not sure what we can do about it but I still believe from what I have learned in the last 10 years that it has all been done for profit. My one issue is my hubby drinks diet soft drink. Costs too much but he won't give it up. I very rarely buy cakes or biscuits, preferring to...

    Coles' skyrocketing prices cause outrage

    Yes you can actually feed a dog on one meal a day with mince meat. You can usually get it cheap from the butcher. Also they will sell bags of bones. Too many people feed their dogs and cats too much food and not the right food.

    Coles' skyrocketing prices cause outrage

    Yes my bill has gone through the roof. I buy mostly meat, very little veg and only a small amount of other stuff. I now buy laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent and other cleaners at the cheap end of the market and find they last and work. With regard to the guy who paid $91 at Coles. Two...

    Cases of fatal bacterial infection surge across Australia

    That could be possible but for the most part these bugs turn up when hygiene is low. But in saying that, we don't need to use anything much more than soap and water to get rid of them. A lot of parents don't teach kids to wash hands after toileting or playing outside. Nothing wrong with playing...

    Cases of fatal bacterial infection surge across Australia

    Personal opinion. With all the stuff around covid we have been taught to use sanitisers all the time. This is not a good thing. We need to be wise to using anything that will strip the skin of its natural bacteria. We have bacteria living on us in a symbiotic relationship and like the good ones...

    Big savings at Woolworths: Over 450 price drops are about to happen! Will your favourite product get cheaper?

    I love the idea of the price drop but much of what is dropped in the way of packaged items can be their own brand and a lot of them are made overseas. This takes away income from local producers. I am willing to pay extra for local products. One example is garlic, most comes from China and the...
