Do you remember those fundraising appeals where you bought an Entertainment Book and tore off coupons to get a discount? The name has changed and it's no longer a physical book - it's now an Entertainment Membership. So is it worth buying? The Entertainment Book first offered an app in 2018. It has now gone fully digital and changed its name to reflect its movement away from a physical book. Rather than a book, a subscription is now referred to as an Entertainment Membership.

What is the busiest day at Aldi? Forget Mother's Day. Or Christmas. It's 18 May; the day Aldi snow gear hits the stores. The snow gear is always out strategically in time for the beginning of cooler weather and just before the start of the ski season on the June long weekend. Aldi snow gear is good.

Watching the news, it is easy to believe that cashed-up boomers are splashing out and fuelling the cost-of-living crisis. However, the reality is retirees are now faced with the challenge of generating income that can keep up with the cost of living. Heading into 2024, it seems a lot harder to find investment returns that can provide for the income needs of retirees.

Have you noticed the rising cost of dairy products? With teenagers in the house who guzzle milk like water and the cost of a block of cheddar cheese almost doubling in 18 months, it impacts my budget’s bottom line. And that’s just basic cheese products: imported buffalo mozzarella or nice smelly blue vein cheese are also rising – especially with the Australian dollar down.

Recent data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reveal the inflation rate rose 5.4% in the September 2023 quarter after hovering around 7% for much of the year.
