I work at Big W and we have Hot Chocolate's "Everybody's a winner baby" song playing every 10 minutes as part of their "every body is a winner - Cha-ching" campaign. I never cared for that song before, now I hate it more than Melbourne's weather.

As for Coles' "down down" and Woolworths "for less for families", they can shove the big red hand up a certain orifice, while they are "down downing" some prices, many others are going up to compensate ofcourse. Example... Smiths chips (and many others) now 30c dearer than a few weeks ago (actually those Smiths variety boxes are a good $1 more expensive), their former "$4 for 2" are now $5 for 2", whereas it used to be "$5 for 3". I'm also certain that those big bottles of Big M used to be about $4.50, now I see them for over 5 bucks. A bag of frozen chicken wings used to be $7.99 a couple of months ago, now it's $8.49. Many items at Big W have also increased in the last few weeks, just as their "Everybody's a winner with Australia's lowest prices CHA CHING" slogan came into effect. Example... A 24pack coke cost about $11 a couple of years ago, now it's almost $19. Pure Woolworths at their best

Also, I just fuelled up at one of Coles' petrol stations with one of their poxy big red hands pointing at the prices, I recall LPG costing 52c late last year, now is 64c? Yet, they seem to offer 8c and even bigger discounts almost permanently these days... as long as you spend a certain amount in their shops.... makes you wonder............

Down down prices are down, for less for families....... yeah your "specials" which were regular prices a few weeks ago Coles and Woolies...

Filthy dogs they are.
