    Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).

    Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.

    If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations

        Public transport isn’t very accessible for physical ability and also local safety issues. Also for working people time is an issue

        Still sucks that I’m giving a sus grocery baron a plug (and using it)
