No, I don't think it's gouging. I'm just saying that 29c mangoes are an outlier that is not representative of mango pricing outside of…

If you're going to use these 29c mangoes as an example, 99% of fruit stores, whether it's supermarkets or not, are gouging.

Fruit and veg at Woolies are rarely a bargain, but for other stuff, when they do 50% off specials it's hard to find it cheaper elsewhere.

There's accountability with news organisations if they get the facts wrong. People get fired, they get sued. Like how Channel 7 incorrectly…

What's wrong with the news on this situation? All reports I've read have never made the claim that shortages were widespread and gave a…

Googled this, found an article on ABC quoting a University of Sydney law professor saying this wouldn't apply in Australia, so not sure how…

I don't think it's greed in this case. Disney plus revenues can't even cover the cost of producing their content, they've been losing money…

If it's true that boomers are propping up the big 4 banks, then that sounds like a problem for them over the next 10-20 years. But the APRA…

I don't get why Commbank, Westpac etc savings accounts are still so popular when something like this blows them out of the water. Isn't it…

$4.95 box seems like a pretty good deal to me? 2 pieces of chicken, 2 sides, and a dinner roll is a fair bit of food for 5 bucks.

Not too sure about younger folks ditching KFC, not seeing much evidence of that for my local. Regardless, you'll be selling a stock down…

At $7.79 it's 38% down from a high of $12.55 earlier this year, so I think CKF is a case of BTFD. Look at how many people still upvote the…

Price 'deals' higher so as to reset your expectations of what is a normal price.

How many people have $100k cash lying around? 0.01% of the population? Can't see how this deal would be applicable to vast majority of…

CMC Site says there's a 0.6% FX conversion fee for US shares per order, so that means you pay 0.6% in FX fees each time you buy and…

Yes but I don't think I'm an outlier in using OnePass several times a month, which I reckon is already enough for Kmart to incur costs…

Great deal. I don't know how Kmart makes money out of this. I order low value stuff (<$10, e.g $1.5 flipflops, $4 plate) and it's carefully…

Your 'politics is rigged' comment might have merit if police didn't enforce the 25km/hr speed limit. But they have and they do. It took me…

Yep. Making customers pay for something they don't want and don't use because they don't have any other choice, might make them an extra 16…

Stan would be okay if they let you sub and pay for the sports alone. But instead you have to pay for their regular service too. It's dodgy…

Which corporations are profiting from this?

I'm curious if they can put on extra services during peak hours. Sure, might be room on the 11am Monday morning train, but not many will be…

Is there enough spare capacity in the rail network to accommodate all the new passengers from 5 Aug onwards?

Thanks, looks like $20 for a genuine Toyota oil filter from a dealership. Supercheap charges $34 for a Ryco brand filter or $25 for…

Never considered a dealer, no idea what they charge. In any case, I get the filter for ~$12 when Autobahn/Repco has a 25% off sale.

I'm on the 16.99 plan... sorry I just noticed the 10.99 plan seems to be a special grandfathered plan so maybe the price increase doesn't…

Yeah, I think Supercheap's jacked up RRP's quite a bit in recent years. Generic brand oil filter for my Toyota is $24.99 at SCA, vs $16 at…

The email I got from Netflix says the price rise will take effect next month.

Feel like Netflix stock price going from $170 in mid 2022 to $610 today is telling in how far in excess of everyone's expectations their…

Pepsi is sold by Japan's Asahi in Oz, and Japanese corporate culture tends to be risk averse and conservative. They also tend to prioritise…
