The nearest Woolies to me became a metro with accompanying price rises. That is bad enough, but they drastically reduced home brand lines,…

This is back in stock for me.

I bought the Johnny Red 1l half an hour ago, after it was OOS earlier

Nope. Just considering what a reasonable lifespan for a device is, and having a bit of thought for how to resolve things efficiently.

I think they might be busy. Also, Auspost has Boxing Day and the day after off, so there aren’t as many people doing deliveries.

Powder is best. Cheaper too.

I would be frustrated to have a dead 5yr laptop, but you can likely replace the motherboard for $300-$400 if you buy a used system with a…

Another cheapo option is the "trail cam" motion sensor cams. Most of the cheap ones have a time lapse setting. But those just fill up a…

If you can accept average quality imagery, maybe a weather cam? I have this one https://shop.ecowitt.com/en-au/products/wittcam It produces…

I have been helping a relative with some admin after their spouse passed away, and have helped them organise their finances. This is for an…

@decryption who writes the Sizzle newsletter did a blog post about the two charger start ups he has been involved in. I am positive Anthony…

This one uses an aaa battery, it is larger than the pictures make it look. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005889999470.html I have had…

I suppose it heads off advice to HODL for just a few more years, or to take the time to carefully list each one.

To be clear, you are correct, they are heroes all!

Quid pro quo, COVID is finished?

I don’t know if Medicare covered dental will benefit you more than the extra tax or not. If you had a major dental issue you might be…

I think you are missing the point. You keep making arguments against progressive income tax. That is one of the ways we get the money to…

I agree there are a bunch of people who haven't had a good share of the huge wealth that has been generated in older age groups, but >80%…

Find somebody moving overseas and buy their whole place for a deal. Replace bit by bit over the years to come with quality.

You’re probably not counting the up to $30k - $45k p.a. of tax free pension that supplements these figures. If a couple has combined $45k…

For what it’s worth, most people die with the bulk of the wealth they had when they retired. That is, they lived a much less lavish…

I beg you to get some better advice. I listened to 45 seconds before it was clear this advice was inappropriate for Australian retirement…

This site is usually more brutal, but I'll try and say it delicately. $75k is not far above a graduate starting salary in many industries,…

That said, if you are well off, like four fifths of people nearing retirement in Australia thanks to our insane housing market and golden…

This site, and the media spend lots of time talking about rich people problems. Those super balances and accompanying pension/part pension…

My best bargains have happened from road side stalls, but there are plenty selling average fruit at average prices. In that case, don’t…

I certainly don’t have the figures to show you that public dental would save you personally money, but in the same way a public…

Bought this years ago under $100, but for me it is the ideal tool, and I would buy again if I lost it. Everything you need, and nothing you…

I have no interest in seeing you pay less tax. I agree that under our progressive income tax system people earning more than $400k will…

Your extras policy has nothing to do with the healthcare levy. There is no tax advantage for paying it. You know that's how it works right?…
