Yeah I got offered 25% for signing up to monthly direct debit last year, then got a letter about 2 months ago when it ran out saying they'd extend it for another year.
Absolute horse **** they can give you a 25% discount at the drop of a hat.. lower prices you thieving pricks

It was a letter designed for me not to ask the question... is a better deal with my own supplier available to me?
They are simply profiteering on people who don’t ask the question and work through all of their multiple packages.

Reminds me of when my wife and I were at the dentist 5 years ago and she enquiries about some work on her teeth. The dentist said she could do the work for 6000 so my wife replied 'nah, we'll get it done in Asia instead' - without pause the dentist responded with 'oh I could do it for 3000'. Oh how we laughed.

It's how mobile phone contracts used to be.
You'd get 240 minutes talk free, which they valued at $240, on a $40 plan, and then say you save $200. The next offer used a completely different basis for calculating what essentially would be the same thing. It was Bull.

First batch of Brads Brew... Or Fui Frothie... I don’t know yet... has been done. It’s not too bad for a first crack. Drier than I was expecting. I think it’s a good base for Cider, but next time I need something else to give it a kick. Cinnamon maybe

If you want to give a kick mate, more sugar.

The family went for a drive down to the Central Coast yesterday. Mrs PJ loves a market. So, we'd gotten off the M1 Gosford turnoff onto the Central Coast Hwy and we needed fuel. The Caltex on the left just a few hundred metres pass the racecourse had ULP for $1.71
That's just disgusting.
About 1km further we pulled in to another servo and got fuel for $1.29
Anyway, we had a good morning. Drove home up the coast, pass the Wattanobi turnoff(hello Coastal) and finished up at Wangi Workers where I rehydrated..Mrs PJ took the wheel after that.
$1.71 for ULP..wow.

I’ve signed up to Costco just to use the servo near me. In 3 years of using them, they’ve never been higher than $1.30

Fuel on the south end of the coast is astronomical. There is a very real thing where people who live on the peninsular don’t leave the peninsular, and the servos have caught on. I can’t remember the last time I saw premium outside of $1.70-1.80 down there.

The E10 or lawnmower fuel was ONLY $1.69
The ULP or "91" was $1.71
Still that's off the charts eh ? I was going to pull in just to take a photo.
Anyway, back in LakeMac it's $1.28
