Angie's tips for saving on petrol
|
Hello Reader, It’s Angie here, Like many of you, I’ve been wincing a bit every time I pull up at the petrol pump lately. So I started looking into a few ways to save a little — and I discovered a couple of handy options. One I hadn’t tried before is the 4c per litre seniors discount at United Petroleum participating stations. If you search for the United seniors discount online, you can request a code that links to their app. Once it’s set up, a daily barcode appears in the United app that you simply show when you pay. Another one worth checking is the fuel lock feature in the 7‑Eleven Fuel App, which lets you lock in a price when it dips — sometimes saving quite a bit if prices rise again later. And if you bank with National Australia Bank, there are currently offers giving 10c per litre off at 7‑Eleven. If you’re a toll road user, it’s also worth opening the rewards tab in the Linkt app — I noticed an offer for 6c per litre off petrol running for a limited time. Of course, sometimes the best saving is not using the car at all. How wonderful to have free public transport every day throughout April. If you’ve discovered any clever ways to save on petrol (or avoid buying it altogether!), I’d love to hear them. Warmly,

Hello Reader, It’s Marjie here, I’m delighted to be joining the Seniors in Melbourne community. You may have seen a couple of my recent outings — from a visit to Chiltern to a memorable meal at Omnia Bistro & Bar — and now I have something a little different to share. Recently, I attended the launch of the MONOPOLY: Ballarat Edition at the beautiful Ballarat Botanical Gardens — and I must say, I’m now a very proud owner. What struck me most is how this familiar board game can become a...

Hello Reader, One of the things I enjoy most about running Seniors in Melbourne is hearing from readers who are doing life very much on their own terms. The old idea of what life should look like after 60 doesn’t really apply anymore. Some people are travelling more than ever. Others are learning new skills, volunteering, starting small businesses, exploring new hobbies or simply enjoying the freedom to spend their days exactly as they choose. There’s no single path — and that’s what makes it...
