Grange Hermit commented on Avanti Pork Belly Crisper/Tenderiser $6.25 (VIP Members, RRP $13.90) + $7.99 Delivery ($0 C&C/ $100 Order) @ Spotlight
Go all the way through the order process, only to be told none in stock local to me (3 stores) in WA. Fail.

bxpressiv on Anova Precision Cooker Pro $264 Delivered (RRP $649) @ Anova Culinary

Yes, I'm with you on the steak only via SV now. Perfect every time, and tender with my original $200 ANOVA from a few years back.

Grange Hermit commented on Microsoft 365 Family (Digital) 6-Device 1-Year Subscription + 3 Extra Months: $101 @ Bing Lee on eBay
$98 at SaveonIT.

The one next to 197 SGT (LunchBox?) is also good for BMT. Think it has a couple of other places too.

Didn't know Golden Bakery did them. I suggested to the ladies last year they should do BMT. Will have to check it out. Yes, City Prov was...

When did they close? Was always busy when I used to pop in. Haven't been up in Milligram St for a while. City Provisions used to be good,...

Can't recall the setup fee, assume it was the $35. The portal is basic, but has all the pertinent info you need. Traffic history, databank...

Been with FBB for over a year, and very happy. This new deal is only for new customers, so not applicable to me, :(. But they offer a great...

Grange Hermit commented on First Month $1.99 (Was $11.99) @ Disney+
The new Peter Jackson Beatles film is on D+. Will jump on board with this for that.

Yes, that's the only thing I'd buy from Gillette, none of this Turbo Max 5 blade etc rubbish. You buy their proprietary handle, with it's...

I don't know why people are still duped by this expensive, proprietary rubbish. Just get yourself an old fashioned safety razor, and cheap...

Yes, same here. Impressive phone for the price. Now just waiting for Amaysim / Optus to get 5G up in my area.................
