    John,
    If I make a mistake with the shopping by the time I get home it's to late. Which begs the answer, I went to Woolworths to buy the groceries I left the Coffee, price $13 ajar as I wasn't sure if it was the right one, My wife said it was, so the next day I went back to buy it, same coffee same shelf same gaps in the shelf, but now they were $19-30cents I asked the shop girl who I know if they were the same jars she said yes. Could it be they are charging shelf rent now?

    Des I think we are about to see a lot of Price hikes soon, because of the Shortage of Drivers and the O/T others are having to put in.
    Know a Guy here who has been on the Delivery Trucks for a long time, and he tells me that he has gone from Working a normal 38 Hour job,to doing up to 60 hrs a Week and more at times! Although he gets really good Wages we are to be paying for that in the end!
    This Covid is running wild and causing all kinds of Mahem here!
    Dont know where it will end !

    Plus the shortage of this Fuel additive is a Major Headache he says!

    Problem Des, every Wednesday bot Woolies and Coles begin the specials.
    So the coffee may well have been on special the first day, not the next.

    But last week Woollies had a cat food on special.
    Normally sells at $1.80.

    On special at 3 for $1.41 save $3.99.

    Go to the check out with 24 but no luck, the system had not been changed.
    Still scans at full price
    But I stuck to my guns and they had to let me have it at that price.

    Called into another on the way home and got another 24.

    Next morning into the other store close to us and get another 24 after a bit of a fight with the assistant manger who told me it was a glitch in the system so he would not allow it to go at the advertised price.
    No worries mate I will contact the ACC and tell them.
    He then changed his mind and I got them at the advertised price with him saying which store are you going to next.

    Was not but at his prompting went to the one from night before and got another 24.

    Today someone must have worked out there was a problem as even though today is the last day of the special it has been changed back to normal price.

    As to shelf rent, Des all suppliers have to pay it, the top shelf is the most expensive with bottom ones the cheapest.

    Woolies big losers here as I got 96 for $45.12 whet at normal price it would be $172.80

    Very true Vernon and besides this lot I have on other occasions scored a good deal as a result of incorrect ticketing.

    Have a nice one.
    Sorry, but I just found this thread. A couple of years ago I retired and moved to a community north of Tucson, AZ in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. This place could not be further from the sea both geographically or topographically with desert, cactus and mountains and a relative humidity, most of the time of below 30%. However on top of the largest local mountain, Mt Lemon, is an observatory and the surrounding areas, including where I live, have been designated as a dark-sky preserve. The consequence of this is that the sky is amazing and does indeed bring back memories, of being 2nd Mate on those long lonely Midnight till 4 am watches in the Pacific. I was so moved, that I got my wife to buy me a Weems and Plath star finder for a birthday present. Talk about overkill, first of all I have a fixed latitude, I don’t have an Azimuth Mirror and there is a star finder phone app called Star Walk 2 which does all the work for you.
    The app does send messages about upcoming celestial events and it is very pleasant and peaceful sitting outside in the dark looking at the events through my telescope, glass of scotch in hand (for medicinal purposes only).

    Down here on the Monaro there are miles and miles of nothing but farms, at night the sky; its as you say, like being in the middle of the Pacific, nothing but stars. Unfortunately my wife shouts, "Come inside you silly bugger your not at sea now." LoL
