    This reads like thinly-veiled promotion for Coles and Woolworths. It’s good that this thing exists, and I love the community spirit. But at the same time, supermarkets created this problem in the first place. They treat the “cost of living crisis” like a force of nature, but they could literally just lower their prices. There’s nothing stopping them doing that.

      It’s a murdock rag. Of course the good guys in a cost of living squeeze are going to be the supermarket duopoly that has had record profits.

      I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I wouldn’t be shocked, News.com.au being as they are. I’m just pleased that lady saw a need and was able to help.
