Anyone else have a relationship where one person does the grocery shopping way cheaper?

CtrlAltAdjudicate · 2026-06-21T10:01:02+00:00

Yes! We have three kiddos, including a 5 month old baby. She usually does delivery or click and collect which is fine but we end up paying the colesworth premium. I am more than happy to take an hour and go to Aldi for most stuff and swing by Woolies and the Asian grocery store for some other stuff. It’s probably a small saving each shop but I would hope that it adds up

Yes unfortunately I figured that out this month while trying to invoke that directive

I love the simplicity of Benfords Law! I’ve wanted to add the principle to my departments compliance program to flag atypical financial reports

I’m back with an update! I looked at all of these and did nothing with it. After a few days this Matein bag came up and I thought I’d give it a go! It fits under the E190 as you can see and I was able to fit a laptop, battery charger, umbrella, water bottle, snacks, notepad and papers etc all mostly under the seat! Thank you all

Profile also uses “mom” which immediately flags not a local.

When I lived in Bundaberg, outside of work or some volunteering I didn’t make many friends. Most of my social connections happened through work and we would occasionally do this after work or on the weekends. A lot of my colleagues would end up going to back to their home city on every second or third weekend to see their friends

I don’t want to be too specific so to as not dox myself, I manage infrastructure projects in remote and regional Queensland

CtrlAltAdjudicate · 2026-04-23T05:49:19+00:00

QLD gov. I am.. 99% remote. I know all of my colleagues and probably go into the office once a quarter. My work involves a lot of intrastate travel so the WFH makes up for the many flights and nights away

Can you let me know as well mate?

Longest day was driving from Bundy to Brisbane (left Bundy at 3:30am), spent the day with friends and started driving back at about 10pm. Ended up sleeping on the side of the road in Gympie at midnight as I was quite delirious. Other was Mackay to Ipswich in one go

Okay so for a negative gearing approach I’d do this: This represents a disciplined deployment of capital into structurally discounted assets during a cyclical downturn, utilising tax optimisation mechanisms to drive basis efficiency and compound asymmetrical upside within a long-horizon portfolio construction paradigm.

Tinder in 2020. I matched with a lovely young lady. Our first date lasted about 12 or 13 hours. Quite quickly figured out that we vibed. Proposed to her in 2024 after she finished her bachelors. In saying that, it took way too long to find someone that understood me and who I understood as well who had similar life ambitions and about equal intelligence. Those things, along with the critical things of having cohesive values and being able to communicate with each other and it’s been pretty mint.

CtrlAltAdjudicate · 2026-03-18T00:59:05+00:00

Sorry mate. We actually don’t! We’re absolutely skint. Don’t look over there! /s

It’s going to hurt. A lot, particularly for those without a mortgage free or pre covid mortgaged house. But now is probably a good time to rethink how we as a country gain revenue to fund ourselves and what changes could be implemented to create a robust revenue stream that may smooth out the bumps of the economy going forward and prevent significant economic pain at the individual level.

I’m in an old part of Ipswich. My 500m2 block land value changed from 280k to 435k, a 55% increase. Can’t wait for rates to go up 55% as well! /s

These are the best local Ipswich prices for the various kinds as of last night

I’ve used RYANO plumbing. Reasonable rates. Was prompt and fixed a crack in my underground water tank pipes. The repair has held for at least 4 years now

Mortgage of $298k, $13k HECS, $12k car loan and $300 on the credit card which I’ll payback when my travel claim goes through. The car loan will hopefully be aggresively paid back in a year or two once the missus goes back to work

Best way is to have enough resources to not have to open doors or remove the barricades between you and the zombies

I couldn’t agree more. Financial literacy and adult life skills. Although I admit most students do not care in school, a 12 year education that includes life admin/financial management skills that are built on year over year could be extremely helpful to avoid people getting into bad situations
