    Sudden price hike on bottled water leads to surprising discovery: ‘I'm being penalised if I recycle at home?’

    Exactly - and if you are woried about quality - boil it first. Beginning to wonder just how old some of these readers are - older ones have known that for years - and do not waste money on buying bottles.

    This Aussie Mum tested Woolies & ALDI's super cheap dishwasher products - you won't believe what happened next!

    As I have said before about products - especially this type - how well they work will depend on the water - hot,cold, town,bore or tank . Plus where you live - which gives hard or soft water. One size does not fit all - and some may not be able to use a cheaper option as the content will not suit .

    Sudden price hike on bottled water leads to surprising discovery: ‘I'm being penalised if I recycle at home?’

    Some need to look up the meaning of the word"refund" You pay 10 cents and get it back when you return the item. If it is not returned you get nothing. If you have a bag beside your waste bin and put them in it when you put out other rubbish what time are you wasting? You go shopping - combine...

    The latest move by Coles, Woolworths and Kmart sparked outrage from shoppers

    Kmart does NOT have manned checkouts always available in Maroochydore they close at 4 pm and self serve only. Aldi has also gone the wrong way - how on earth can anyone put a full trolley of goods on to the loading bay? All these places just need a couple more checkouts for 12 items or less -...

    Kmart's controversial solution to checkout woes: A first look at the Melbourne store trial

    Definitely - it was quite stupid to have them in the middle of the store and even hard to see where it was - to say nothing of and extra walk around looking for it.

    Customers fuming after ALDI's 'overnight' price surge: ‘It's getting ridiculous!’

    It comes in tins - and manufacturing those has also gone up. Buy ingredients when marked down and cook it yourself - much better for your pet,with no addatives.

    Customers fuming after ALDI's 'overnight' price surge: ‘It's getting ridiculous!’

    For heaven's sake stop whinging. The big guys have always had higher prices for everything. It took a long while for brand name snobs to start shopping at Aldi - where most products come out of those same brand name factories or from Europe and are as good if not better quality. Aldi still have...

    Ten Tops: The Supermarket Where Everything's Under $10!

    I moved here from Victoria and love the fresh vegetable markets . Definitely a lot cheaper and better quality than down south. Also roadside stalls with great offers - I am in the hinterland - and worth a drive to shop - I eat better than ever before with the prices here.

    Is your ATM safe? Experts reveal why banks selling ATMs could be damaging for Aussies

    We are being charged for access to our own money . Scammers are having a great time getting deposits and asking for Pay ID -one of the worst things banks have ever invented. Market stalls , garage sales will be closed down unless everyone gets the bank transfer on their phone. How the elderly...

    The Great Australian Showdown: Which Washing Powder Won the Coles vs. Woolworths Battle?

    This is not what Choice said a few months ago. From memory Omo came out top with another and also a very cheap Aldi liquid (1.99 for 2 litres ) giving an 80 % plus result. It also depends on the water in your area,hot or cold wash and if it removes stains without having to use a stain remover as...

    Are huge savings coming? How the new cost of living measures could save you up to $500 on energy bills

    I am still in the dark as to how this $500 is to be paid. My bill is monthly and due on July 10th. Does it mean I will not have it debited and show a credit until it is used up ? Presumably the $500 goes to the electricity company in that case and they have to monitor it - not always a good...

    Macca's debuts exciting new winter menu—but only for a limited time!

    Fully agree - this article has fallen flat on it's face . Maccers is rubbish take away and very expensive. We need to support the small coffee shops and delis that give good fresh food and more value for money.

    The truth behind the 'downfall' of Australia's most beloved retailers – are they losing their 'magic'?

    Shopping in the city and going to Myers and David Jones was once an "experience" but that went long ago - along with dressing in your best to have a day out there. Even weddings ,theatre shows , concerts etc see people in jeans/t shirts ,thongs etc - or possibly what they have worn all day ...
