You need a magnifying glass to buy veggies at the supermarket.

Watch your step or you might tread on someone's toes

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep 24

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. It’s a native orchid. I wrote about two Australian supermarket chains being taken to task for shonky/dishonest/devious practices as regards their pricing. In my responses to...

Two of our supermarkets have been naughty

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Sep 24

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It's a red-tailed black cockatoo. Coles and Woolworths are two of our major supermarkets. Both have just been charged by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) for...

Unit pricing lets you compare like with like

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Nov 23

The photo has nothing to do with the post but it’s more interesting than a photo of dish-washing tablets. Our products are sold with shelf labels showing a unit price as well as the actual price. This was legislated in December...

Are you an astute grocery shopper?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Nov 22

I’ve just read a very interesting article about how supermarkets arrange their stores and shelves to entice shoppers to spend more and to buy specific products. I’m sure we are all aware of some of the tricks so forgive me if I...

Have you noticed people running wildly in search of chocolates and easter eggs to give them as gifts to relatives, friends and partners? Supermarkets and malls often get crowded with last minute shoppers and the nasty side of...

Have you ever had homemade yogurt?

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 20 Feb 19

If you like yogurt, you need to taste homemade yogurt (it's just amazing!). Besides being healthier than those sold in supermarkets, they are also cheaper (depending on the recipe you are going to follow). So... If you've...

As you drive into one of our local supermarkets, you are given a personalised greeting, or at least your car is. This is probably part of the car parking system as the first hour is free and there are terminals at the store...
