If you find oil in your peanut butter jar then just stir it in, it's fine.

Same goes for Nutella.

Even DailyMail readers have cottoned on that it's a gyp.

The oil is there to prevent it from going dry so stir it before use always.

But these customers aren't the sort thst could pass a year 2 science test.

That's generous.

Did the Chrisco hamper people just send me a sex toy?
IT’S that time of year when thrifty Australians receive their Chrisco Christmas hampers. And this year, they’ve added some extra good vibes. No, really.

“Thrifty women of Australia high five one another.”

For as long as I can remember, my budget conscious mum has embraced the culture of the year-long hamper payment plan that is Chrisco.

We don't all have six bucks at a time to throw away, much easier to only have to pay two bucks a week

Have you seen the Nutella one. 5kgs of Nutella for $127. ‘My man loves nutella’ Does anyone know a grown man that would eat Nutella? Why the **** would anyone want chocolate on their toast?

I bet you he doesn't even like it. Choked it down after she made him nutella toast as a treat early on and has now been caught in a life long lie

Can see him rocking up to his labouring job with Nutella sangas and finding them
Glued to the side of his lunchbox.

  Fair dinkum, I'm no prude, but if Newscorp continues with this sort of infantile and crap journalism you will lose me as a paid subscriber. The notion that such an article sits prominently on the homepage of its flagship news website is a joke. It should sit on sites like the authors blog, "Rebel without a Pause" which I'm sure only few would read.

  Sorry what? Who falls for these bad marketing scams to begin with? If you buy a Chrisco Hamper you obviously just like getting ripped off.

Shit really hitting the fan here

The VISA card works like any other credit card, meaning it can be used Australia-wide and is not store-specific.

And for Renee McKinnon, a mum-of-four from Adelaide, it was a proposal too good not to jump on.

Ms McKinnon paid close to $3000 over a period of 12 months to Hamper King, putting toys on lay-by and booking a holiday in the process, knowing she’d have the bulk sum from the VISA card to fall back on when those companies came knocking.

But, the Adelaide mum is still waiting for her cards and has been begging stores like Big W and Kmart for weeks to keep popular toys she placed on lay-by weeks ago off the shelves.

The family’s holiday will be cancelled by the caravan park tonight if they don’t receive $700, money she doesn’t have.

- Books holiday / puts other shit on lay by

- instead of paying for it, puts the money aside elsewhere

- instead of putting it in a bank, puts it toward a Hamper King VISA gift card and gets charged 15% or whatever for the privilege

- Hamper King ***** up delivery of card. Lay bys cancelled, holidays cancelled

Srsly how tf is this even legal

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Melissa Marton, another Hamper King customer, received her cards yesterday.

“I received my $1700 of gift cards, there is a $250 fee applied to Hamper King when you purchase. So, I was initially worried I had lost $1950. They were extremely late, given the fact that we had finished paying for these the second week in October.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

“We’re a young family trying to get ahead by doing something like this and we’ve been had,” she said.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

In a statement to news.com.au, Hamper King said the delays were a result of underestimating demand.

Michelle McQuilty, a member of Boycott Hamper King, slammed the company’s claim it underestimated demand.

“They can’t underestimate. We’ve been paying them for a freaking year,” she said.

Mishy’s got a point!

And now it's sad again...
