Colesworth Special
(aussie.zone)
Transcription:
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.
Special: You deserve steak for dinner. You can't afford it, but you deserve it.
Special: We understand that times are tough, and that's why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day. That's the median wage of a Tasmanian before the end of the week!
Special: If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't.
Special: We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst you can't even afford bread.
I heard that colesworth already reported this to police so next time the legends walk into any store will get arrested.
How bout we just stop buying shit from colesworth? Please tell your boomer parents as I have noticed its mostly boomers at colesworth.
Similar situation at commbank.
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.
Stopping participation in society isn't really a solution. Vote with your wallet doesn't work when there are few options and it's an inelastic good
Easier said than done for busy, working families. ALDI used to be cheaper than Colesworth (sometimes still are, but getting rare nowadays) but we found ourselves having to chuck "fresh" produce only a couple of days after being bought. Waste of money.
We do what we can - we buy our eggs from the local chicken farm, meat from our local independent butcher (way better quality anyway), and bread from the bakery, but there's just no other option for household items and other groceries.
Colesworth has us by the balls, and they fucking know it. They can crap on about ALDi and IGA all they like, but they're a duopoly or, at least, they definitely act like it.
Damn, sounds like a bunch of other legends are about to rise, or someone's gonna have a spicy story to tell next family reunion
