Albo to the rescue

You have to become a "no I won't" kind of person.  I go to  the mall thinking 'I'LL get an iced doughnut", then I see the price and think "No I won't". I went to a shop specialising in cables and accessories for mobile phones. I was thinking of getting a tripod clamp to hold the phone to scan documents and photograph small objects. Then I thought, no, a flat piece of timber supported above the document/object, with the phone placed so the lens is just over the edge will do the job for free. The same goes for just about everything. "No I won't".  It amazes me the number of times you see things like "The household item on sale at Kmart that Australians are losing it over".  Mostly crap that no-one needs.

The Gillet Razor was designed to use a Flexing blade. Cheap and able to be sharpened in a "glass thing",. Not like the Fast blunting throwaway things you buy now. Nev

I didn't realise for years, how there was a corporate term, "captive customer". It means they sell you something that contains components or contents that are only available from their company, so you have no option but to keep going back to that company for parts, service or support. 

That's why printers are cheap and replacement ink cartridges are expensive.

There was one of those ads on the web today - 

 

The $29 Kmart item Aussies are losing it over.

 

It was a pole you could hang pot plants from.

Leggo is a good example. You just HAVE to get More.  Nev
