The thing is coles and woolies are extremely cheap compared to here. We do tend to buy the cheaper food as we simply cant afford to buy the healthy versions as it is way...

That is the problem isnt it?? they have to pay to opt in and if it is not viable for them to do it then the card holder is affected.

The way it work right now is that Stores can register to accept the card if more than 50 per cent of stock is non-prohibited . But they all so have to "opt in".

Another Mum I know found after her first baby that after being tested she actually wasn't producing any milk. And found it frustrating with the next two births that the...

I just feel for kids that do miss out because of parents who dont provide. I know it wont be a nice feeling (I will be feeling the same) but I think about kids missing out on basic things that should be provided, that the money is ment for and if everyone is in the same boat who cares I be more worried/upset if I was blinged up in a BMW paying for my shopping with it.
