Please be gentle, I'm a first home buyer! 1) In your experience, what do mortgage brokers do that online comparison tools can't? 2) Did…

Had to book a one night stay near a foreign airport for the in-laws - this made it almost free. Thanks OP - I would never have opened that…

That's pretty high rent, OP. $1250pw in Haymarket would mean that's a pretty exceptional 2/2/1. High floor? Decent view? Newish building? I…

Anyone know if you get a credit check if you apply for the upgrade?

So the NSW government seems to be slowly warming to e-scooters but they're still illegal. I see enough of them around the CBD to think that…

I did a pickup order yesterday of $29. Still have the random $1 left, next email hasn't come. Did you get something else to use that…

My parents live on a 600 sqm block a couple of minutes from a train station in the outer suburbs of Sydney. Based on what is happening on…

Just checked Price Hipster - searched Xiaomi 10000mAh Powerbank (WPB100) - it looks like this has been the price for some time, and has…

Sounds like someone needs a kombucha.

I'm sure you're right. Weakens my argument, but I still think when you look at that shelf, and see "Any 2 for $x", the average person grabs…

Sorry - I don't smoke, I should have said 'the front desk'. That didn't come to mind last night - said that so you'd all know what I was on…

This criticism is fair enough, reading my post back. In my defense, I never mentioned that the price had been initially fixed at the front…

Excellent point - I got a kefir and a kombucha (same packaging and deal pricing for both, though there is a technical difference), though I…

That's possibly a bit strong. Essentially, everybody else who goes through in the same situation will get caught by the misleading price…

My thoughts exactly!

My wife agrees.

Hello frugal friends, So my wife has put me onto kombucha. I know it's not the most Ozbargain of beverages, but it's delicious, it's…

I've used it twice from Sydney airport, once domestic and once international.

I haven't, but that's a great suggestion - thanks! I'll definitely look into that :-)

She came on a partner visa, so absolutely not cheaper to replace, I'm afraid :-)

There's a part of me (imagine Gollum, but 'The One Ring' = 'bargains') that loves this idea. Coincidentally, Paddy's Market sells "organic…

Yup - late night post missed the point I guess. Of course, I'm hoping that someone can help me find something of similar quality for…

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out - would be a nice morning out (though once I set the limits of acceptable quality,…

I believe (and I'm far from an expert) that in this case it has something to do with the chicken's diet. I'd be happy with…

Very true. But analysing my weekly grocery spend, a dollar or so here would add up by the end of the year, and if anyone can do it cheaper…

Hello bargain-brains-trust! The missus prefers organic eggs and the best I can manage is $8 for a dozen (700g) at Woolies, minus 5% with an…

I'm pretty sure it's 8.

Wow, interesting responses. 1) Yes, I participated in this promotion for the burgers only, and I'm sure many others did. I wasn't trying to…

Last week, I forgot all about them. Don't be like me.
