 That's crazy  
 Insane 
 It would be like $9 in the US and I thought that was expensive 🤣 
 I think it might be about the same 
 Can confirm it be the same here 
 I read that as an S19 as food 😂 
 I know it’s Friday but are you already drinking 😂 
 #coffeechain 
 With a splash of alcohol 😉 
 That's the same here in California. At least we both have the blazing sun to off set this bullshit.

 Have you heard about the 7 wonders of Michigan? 

Well, we removed the sand dunes for grocery prices.
🤣 
 Save some money and skip buying the tomato. 
 Yeah next time for sure 😂 
 Just stop buying shit in plastic from the fiat mkt altogether 
 And get it from where? 
 From the actual producers. 
 Hard to do around here. 
 I buy most of my meat, eggs, dairy, fruit etc from the farmers markets or other local suppliers and try to minimise what I buy at Coles & Woolworths. 
 🤝 
 I actually buy mine from organic producers, both meat and veg.
For household items I will use Woolworths.
Btw this isn’t my own photo, I stole it 😂 
 ofc 😅👌 
 Yeah for household goods there isn’t always a good alternative. We have Drakes supermarkets here that I believe are still locally owned so maybe a slightly better option but they can be more expensive for some things. 
 Agree on the 🍅 tomato. Literally pointless. As a nightshade you may even be paying for it to harm you!  
 Not if it’s organic 
 I'd have to disagree. People especially prone to auto immune responses can react to nightshades like tomatos peppers and eggplants even if they are organic 🤷🏻‍♀️ but hey I get it... I used to love tomatos. Especially some real juicy heirloom tomatoes :) I come from a culture that eats a big bowl of largely tomato based salad at every meal....so I tots get it.  
 Only thing lo get than the food charity lines now are the rental inspection lines.

"The lucky country" is starting not to feel so lucky. 
 Sadly true 
 Loan sharks, migration agents, HR officers, bureaucrats in new departments, parasitic middlemen, and that company that makes the biodegradable carbon-neutral flying killer robots for government are doing very nicely, thank you very much! 
 And dot forget the vape shops!
(well at least the ones the bikies are not burning down) 
 Government is joining the bikers - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-25/what-you-need-to-know-about-australia-move-to-ban-vape/104016192

Vaping is a vicious and depraved attack on Big Tobacco, and oncology department budgets.

Something Must Be Done! 
 If vapes are legal how would the government ensure the monopoly on sales went to their underworld mates? 
 Glad the chicken is approved! /s 
 😂😂 
 That's a little more than what I can get for that in NorCal. 
 😳 
 I'm assuming you guys have a carbon tax and have a money printing addiction too?  
 So cruel
