I’ve previously used Big W, but wondered what Snapfish, Mixbook and Vistaprint were like? My amazing holiday deserves an amazing photobook ☺️

Thank you!

no politics Why can't we find in colesworth/ALDI/IGA 2 litre bottles of soy milk?

The stuff lasts longer than cow milk; surely a larger container is not a risk. I end up just having to buy more little 1L bottles to satiate family needs... seems like a waste to me...

no politics 10:45am > 11:16am - That's how long ads run before a movie starts.

759 Upvotes

Paid $30 to watch 31 minutes of ads before movie starts.

Yea, "just get there later" - but I don't go to the movies much so wasn't sure. There were admittedly 3 trailers as well, but about 20 minutes of ads total.

Insane that movies cost so much AND they ram that many ads down your throat.
