Aus Post carded me yesterday even though I gave permission to leave parcel at door via their online service and told the delivery driver via my doorbell camera to leave the parcel. What the hell? Mad I have to spend my lunch break going to the post office.

StarTrack is even better at my place - I don’t get a card and they just text and says a card was left with pickup instructions

Damn.. if I bought a Pixel 8 Pro before midnight last night from JB HiFi they would've given me a $350 voucher. The only deal I can see now is from Google themselves who would give me a $400 of Google Store credit if I buy one before midnight tonight, but that's only valid for 1 year and obviously you have to buy Google Store stuff and.. eh. Cool if I wanted to buy a Pixel Watch 2 but I don't really wanna.
The other issue is that my current phone (OnePlus 8 Pro) is too well-specced to really justify upgrading. The hardware is still incredible. It's only running 1 version behind of Android OS (13) and I really have no complaints with it. The specs besides the aging Bluetooth version actually hold up compared to these new flagship phones and it's 3 years old. The issue is that in 6 months or so it'll stop getting security updates, which isn't the end of the world.
Maybe I'll fight my impulse purchasing nature and just keep using this thing. I'm also starting to think about whether I want to buy a PS5 when all I really want to play is Spider-Man 2 when it comes out. I don't think there are any other games I want for it that I can't play on my PS4 Pro or PC. Maybe I should just build a new PC and wait for Spider-Man 2 to come out for that. Life is difficult.

I just gout out of the shower, just in time for the rain to go whoosh.
Sky, you read my mind
Q for the collective: You have $50 and need to make it go as far as possible food-wise. No restrictions on supermarket or visits to multiple. What do you buy?
(Just thought about this as I spent around $50 at Woolies.)
