Nebargains commented on Do You Support A Cashless Society?

I can't swim. My family was just never into swimming, we didn't have a pool, we didn't go to aquatic centres, we didn't go to the beach. Im…

Well I think you are doing too much in 16 days, when I went last year we went to 4 places in like 19 days or something? And one of those…
Nebargains replied to Dollar General on Going to The USA for The First Time, What Should I Buy/Look out for?

Totally agree, everyone says get second hand stuff and for somethings its fine but a pram, lets say its like $1000 (which is expensive),…

I honestly don't care about these surcharges. It is a convenience tax and even if I didn't know about the surcharge it probably wouldn't…
We get rid of a bunch of perfectly good things on 'buy nothing' groups, usually small things not worth the hassle of trying to sell but…

Nebargains replied to Gareth on Dr Nick Coatsworth Who Helped Lead Australia's Response to COVID - Recommends NO MORE JABS - OPINIONS
For real. People can recommend to get them or don't get them, reality is it is 2024 and very few people are getting them and very few…
