I currently just scan when shop and get the odd $10 off.....

Mate trying to talk me into it.

Algorithm thing to get you to spend more or worth doing it?


Nope, Coles Flybuys.

In about 4 years they have paid for a spit, a pellet smoker (with all of the utensils) and a pressure washer, I'm now toying with the notion of getting an electric blower and expanding on whatever brand I get.

I just wait for their bonus offers and shop smartly when they present themselves, have also found a couple of loophole/cheats to double dip on the same deal.

Had a doctors appointment yesterday, first one in decades.

I can afford it but $214 for 15 minutes ($85 Medicare rebate) is crazy, no wonder many go straight to a free hospital visit instead of the GP. Imagine having to do that once or twice a month.

I must've put my gripe in another thread.

I went to the local GP to ask for a repeat referral. That cost me 84 bucks.

My wife nags me about it too, quick visit to a Sunday clinic late last year for an ointment, other than that it was before my kids were born. Oldest is 23 :?
