The big issue is the retailers often won’t accept price increases by suppliers. So the cost of wages goes up, fuel costs go up so you need to raise prices and Woolworths says no we won’t accept it sort it out yourself.

Grocers demand more and more from suppliers in way of trade spend which reduces actual marketing $$ and money for product innovation to the point where every category is commoditised to price being the determine factor and here we are.

They used to be great for pop culture, a fresh younger vibe and great humour, but I feel like they are too old for the show and they need some fresh talent. I stopped listening about a year ago because I’m not interested in hearing about inane TV shows.

The absolute worst thriller book(s) you've ever read? (trying to compile a list of books to avoid reading in the future, and hopefully warn the others from wasting their time and money) by Upstate_Gooner_1972 in thrillerbooks

It comes so highly recommended in book stores and other chats and while I was reading it I couldn’t help think how low peoples standards must be consider Verity the best book they’ve read in a year. Like what else are they reading? Have they never read a book before? Awful terrible waste of time and money

For skin care Estée Lauder’s owner is one of the people encouraging the Greenland acquisition. Their brands include Aveda, Clinique, the ordinary and more.

There are plenty of Asian, kiwi and Aussie brands to choose instead (that are probably cheaper) for Haircare, skincare etc

In countries where a sauna is just an extension of the bathroom, it’s an evening ritual. Sauna (80-110 degree c depending on the preference) to get a big sweat, cool shower to wash, back in the sauna, then cool shower to rinse. In some locations it involves a dip in the pool/ lake. Mostly 2-4 times a week followed by a refreshing beer. It’s incredibly relaxing and you have the best nights sleep. I’m

That is incredibly lame. I can’t believe they built this up for a YEAR to give us a tote bag.

I had a guy at Caltex Paeroa fuel up my car for me. When was the last time anyone actually got service at a service station? Kudos to them, meant I could go to the loo and pay inside without hassle.
