4 stickers placed on different areas of a supermarket. 1, 2, and 4 use the green colours and logo of Woolworths. The third is red with the Coles logo, with a red hand pointing downwards with its middle finger.

    How bout we just stop buying shit from colesworth?

    You say that, and I agree they are bastards, but what’s your option?

    We grow a lot we eat, but that can actually be more expensive. aldi? Not any cheaper if you target sale items elsewhere and with dietary allergies they just don’t sell everything we need.

    We are rural so iga types who are 25 to 125 percent more expensive.

    Just trapped by large corporates it seems

      True. I think the only solution is growing your own veggies and only buying the ones you can’t grow. For example- i’ll buy few chooks and that’ll help me with my eggs supply also grow lettuce, beans etc. Now if everyone starts doing this, demand is reduce and supply will increase.

        Probably beyond the reach of most people, for example if you aren’t prepared to cull the chickens at some stage you’ll be feeding an aging flock that isn’t producing eggs for years. Feeding then properly is expensive unless you let them free range and feed them scraps which will in turn reduce the eggs they are likely to lay

        Homesteading and being self sufficient can be very expensive

        Food isn’t getting more expensive because of a lack of supply. It’s just greed. And covid and greed.
