It is estimated by Neilsen Company's ScanTrack data that 78% of the markets dry packaged groceries are purchased at the two bigger supermarket chains, Coles and Woolworths. This percentage provides Coles and Woolworths the ability to increase grocery items and rip off the everyday consumer. Coles and Woolworths are at the top of the supermarket in regards to dry goods, such as cereals, spreads and other packaged foods. However, buyers choose to purchase fresh food items such as meat, vegetables and bread from specialty stores over supermarkets.

I recently received an email forward that was extremely interesting. I normally don't open or read email forwards- because I don't have time to forward the email to five friends before the phone rings in two minutes, however this email caught my attention. The email was titled 'House Fires! Please read and pass on...’ After experiencing the Black Saturday bushfires in February 2009 - fires are something I often read about, something to be extremely caution about and I would do anything to not cause myself the same pain that many experienced at the time. Most Australians have house insurance, so if a fire unfortunately ruins a home, most of the contents and the house itself will be replaced, although memories are lost.
