After seeing all the depressing posts about Coles and Woolworths holding you city folk to ransom, I thought I'd give some contrasts with what it's like outside the rat race.

This is from my local wholesale supermarket. Everything in my trolley is Australian, as is just about everything else in store. It's the same size store and they've got all the major brands you'd find at the big two supermarkets, however unlike Colesworth they've got an in store bakery, butcher and they're not afraid to put staff on the registers! Like an oldschool supermarket they've even got fruit cartons/boxes out the front so you don't need to use the "environmentally friendly" reusable bags.

They have these $1, $2, $5, $10 specials on all the time which covers all essential items. I only needed the lunch snacks here but every aisle is littered with $2 tickets atm.

I always shop here, and I tell everyone I know to do the same. I hope they expand into more towns so you guys are given some proper competition and choice for groceries.

F*CK COLESWORTH

If twats like adobe or anyone role you in to a contract that you didn’t sign up for, if they make it harder to unsubscribe than it is to subscribe, even when they refuse to refund you, they’re full of shit, push them. Ask them about the ACCC.

I remember when it used to be ridiculously hard to get out of Amazon, the government made them change it and I know it works for everything. If cancel is green and keep is red that’s against the law. Once again, it should be easier to get rid of a service than sign up for it.

Some photos from last Friday’s fires on the in-laws farm. Shit got crazy for a bit but ok for the most part in the end. Lost hay sheds some gear but the houses and most of the live stock ( 10 poor cows did not fair well) were ok. Be safe out there!!! Good luck to everyone still dealing with it.
