    Mince meat

    I'd say woollies has the better suppliers. Who do you think has the buying power to get the pick of the supply. Everyone else gets what is left after the big two are done.

    Has anyone run for council?

    My mobile number is published on the council web site :eek:, don't get that many calls though. Have been an elected member since last SA elections in 2010. Have quite enjoyed it so far. You can put as much time and effort in as you want to really. Can be a LOT of reading meeting agendas...

    I have also used Price USA a couple of times. All worked well. Deposit to Aust bank acc and postage rates were reasonable.

    Breaking Free from ANZ Break FREE

    In my opinion this is very dangerous advice from your accountant!:eek: This could result in the interest you pay not being 100% deductible when you re-draw to use the money for travel. Your repayments would also then have to be split between the deductible and non-deductible parts of the loan...

    experiences travelling in a campervan

    We have done NZ twice in a campervan, and loved it. We were touring around quite a bit, and the thing I liked about it most was not having to re-pack everything into the suitcases/car each day out of a hotel room. We had one of the large ones with the bed above the drivers area, so we could...

    Tips for getting a better rate

    call the westpac retention team on 1800 807 693. Tell them you are leaving to go the ANZ unless they will match the 1% discount. ANZ will also cover up to $1000 of refinancing costs. I have just been through this with Westpac -they will match the discount (1%), but for me would not go any...

    A little surprise from St George

    I have now been talking to the retention team (several times). They will do 1% off, down to 6.86, will will not go any further. I have told them will be taking all of my loans, accounts, credit cards, and 4 insurance products unless they match the ANZ advertised rate (6.8%). They are not...

    A little surprise from St George

    I did that with a link to the advertised anz deal. The westpac guy said 'we can't go lowering our customers rate every time there is a special deal by the competition', and that they offer good service. My response was, 'why not?'

    A little surprise from St George

    I am with westpac. My home loan manager is refusing to budge on my current discount of .9 (6.96%) variable.:mad: What is my best option to get that rate to 6.8%? Call the home loan retention call centre? or a 'bank manager' in a branch? Loans of over $1m at less than 80% LVR.

    Advertising on realestate.com.au

    I have now used myhomeisforsale twice - great product they offer, and love the web self service system. I too found the response time etc to not be fantastic. But my experience shows that if I have an open time listed I tend not to get many questions and a crowd at the opens.

    Advertising on realestate.com.au

    I think domain might be ok in NSW and Vic, due to it being assoc with The Age and the SMH newspapers, so people recognise the name and think to search there - unfortunately not it Adelaide (we don't have any Fairfax newspapers). When I had my property listed on both sites, I received about 30...

    Advertising on realestate.com.au

    Well it seems that landlords choice can no-longer advertise on realestate.com.au - since last week - mine was listed and then they had to remove it :( and no longer offer it as an option. I have found myhomeisforsale.com.au who also offer re.com.au listings for $149 and then $99 per month...

    US Shipping Address

    I have also used www.priceusa.com.au/, that will buy the product for you and ship it at cost for a 5% fee - I found they offered a great service when I wanted to buy some North Face items that would not ship to AUS.

    What car to buy?

    I just bought a Aug 07 BF Mk 2 Falcon from the SA Govt auctions: Gas only Conditions like new 23,800 km $15,400 Only problem with the gas only model is the spare tyre takes up space in the boot (as the tank is where the tyre normally is)
