K Mart if you buy something large the thing says but in the bagging area.But it won't fit in the bagging area..

At Woolies n Coles they don't want the large items on the belt to scan a few times i reckon we could of got dog food for free if Mrs R didn't speak up .

Some of them wig out if you buy multiple of the same thing. I bought two bits of cut watermelon because they had no whole watermelons. First bit on the scale then into the bag. Second bit on the scale, different weight then into the bag. And the alarm goes off. Yes all part of my evil plan to legitimately weigh and purchase $10 of watermelon. I'm scanning cashews as peanuts just to spite them next time.

I got a big box from Kmart for a microwave. Then another time for a cat scratch pole. No bagging area thing needed. But had to show receipt to the teenager at the exit.

Similar story at Bunnings when I bought a whipper snipper.

That’s a conversation you should have with yourself.

Price of lamb - obviously the fancy title and whatever it’s stuffed with adds to it, but doesn’t seem that long ago that farmers were having to shoot stock

Milk used to be $1/L too and processors were pouring it down the drain.

If the wholesale lamb price goes up $5/kg retailers will put it up $10. If it goes up $10 they will put it up $20. If it goes back down the retail price will stay where it is or slowly reduce over time if there is a glut of supply. The only thing that is guaranteed is that if Coles and Woollies are selling lamb they are making money doing so. It costs the same to raise lambs whether the price is high or low, but the risk is not shared. I don't know many farmers but I know a couple that have taken over their family farms that were historically wheat/sheep and immediately moved to grains only because it's lower risk.

No different to interest rates. RBA puts the cash rate up 25 points, banks announce an increase to home loan rates effective immediately. RBA puts the cash rate up 25 points, banks think about it and one by one announce if they will pass on the full cut or only 15 or 20 points and it will be applied at the end of the cycle etc.

Great cut of meat too.

But couldn't believe how much they stacked up their steaks the case was packed.

Imagine finishing work a couple of weeks before regular folk and you decide to go to the shops at 10am on a Tuesday because it will be quiet only to be greeted by hundreds of annoying kids you've put up with all year.

I noticed the place up the street got a new fence put up.

The prices of fencing gone though the roof yet the quality of work been pretty poor.

We had some posts replaced no conrecte in the holes.

The tiler we used said he spend 6k on his fences and after 3 months they ****ed.

You pay good money you want good work done.
