I'm with karousel in that we recently bought a new freezer so as not to miss out on any food bargains that we can get.

We don't have food coupons here in Australia, but we do get lots of discounts in other areas.

We get discounted electricity, telephone, motor vehicle registry, driver's licence, and we also get discounts in many other areas instead.

There's also an allowance to help towards housing by means of a rent allowance if one is recieving benefits (a pension) and renting privately.

Medical cover is free unless you're working, and then you pay a levy in your annual tax... unless you choose to take out private health cover.
