    Australia Post driver's delivery fail costs him his job

    Yup, same problem out in westerrn NSW. Package was left at the wrong address (street, number and TOWN wrong).

    8 ways Woolworths and Coles squeeze their suppliers and their customers

    While much focus is on Coles and Woolworths for price gouging, IGA is quietly slipping the limelight. I live at Coonamble, NSW. Our entire shopping consists of 2 x IGA stores.

    Are Coles & Woolworths driving up your grocery costs? Discover the truth behind this supermarket giant duopoly

    Woolies has 'canned' selling their Essentials (Woolworths) brand 500g cans of instant coffee. While it's not the greatest coffee, it was more than affordable at $7-ish per. I quite liked it. Many pensioners did too. Now it has been withdrawn, and the next cheapest coffee is twice the price (and...
