There are two types of people in this world: those who love their weekly grocery shop, and those who put it off until dinner is a tin of questionable chickpeas from the back of the pantry. Whichever camp you’re in, the goal is the same: get in, get what you need and get out without accidentally spending $200 on things you didn’t want.

The smart guide to saving on your weekly shop
If you’ve ever spent hours scrolling through streaming services for a new show, only to end up watching Friends for the 700th time, you’ll understand that there is such a thing as having too much choice. Psychologists call it “shoppers’ fatigue” where the sheer volume of choices becomes completely overwhelming — and it applies just as much at the supermarket as anywhere else. It can be stressful and frustrating, and lead to unnecessary purchases and extra spend.

Buskers on the NYC subway do my head in
You can spend AUD$35 for a single takeaway slice of pizza at Cuts & Slices, fork out AUD$8000 on a cocktail (head to the Baccarat Hotel for that), or eat at a cafe that specialises solely on rice pudding. So it makes sense that the city’s buskers also like to go that extra mile. Or that should be go deep down that extra mile, as many have found a home on the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s (MTA) many subway trains.

But there are some simple ways to reduce the pain. Start by stalking the social media of your recipient — it's a great place to find clues.

The ultimate film and TV lover's guide to the US
Travelling to the US can sometimes bring on déjà vu, as there are so many places familiar to Aussies from film and TV. Without having ever been there in person, for example, many of us believe we can speak with authority about what life is like in New York City thanks to TV series and movies like Friends, Sex and the City and Enchanted, to name but a few.

Seven tips for developing a passion Original
The word 'passion' sometimes suffers from overkill (blame MasterChef), so it's no surprise that for many of us, we can suffer from what can only be called 'passion envy'. What if we're not quite sure what ours is? With the word often associated with elite athletes, it comes as a bit of a surprise when former Olympic and Commonwealth Games hockey star Rachael Lynch tells us that the game itself wasn't necessarily her passion, but just one channel for it.

Why I’ve embraced going to the pub on my own
I’ve grown excited to embrace this chance to stop, enjoy a wine (I limit myself to three, as to not get sloshed and start hugging everyone in sight), nibble some cheap salted peanuts and read whatever novel is gripping me at the time. It’s a moment to text friends, do some WhatsApp banter and surf Instagram. It’s solo time, but not necessarily solitary.

Review: Rudolph Nureyev Biopic Dances Around The Star’s Homosexuality
Oleg Ivenko as Nureyev in White Crow. Supplied. Ralph Fiennes’s portrait of Russian ballet icon Rudolph Nureyev aims high but doesn’t quite leap off the screen.

Rocketman - Relax, It Doesn’t Suck!
Taron Egerton as Elton John in Rocketman. Elton’s biopic is fun, camp and honest, writes Cameron Bayley.
