I also LOVE that its a way to stick it to the man! Cause fuck coles and woolies for screwing us for years. Screw fast fashion. Fuck the economy that requires us to buy buy buy. The planet is dying and society is too stuck in the status quo to see it. Being cheap is a great way to âfight backâ. Kind of.

That too, that too đ Thereâs even a perverse pleasure to deliberately being a povo gremlin sometimes.
Iâll see the price go up on something I can do without and be like, âyou know what, Iâm good.â
Oh, your sales are falling? Less discretionary expenditure? Nobodyâs buying as much stuff anymore? Well maybe itâs because the workers can no longer afford to buy the goods they produce, mf. Between low wages and inflated prices you killed the golden goose and nobody can afford shit anymore. I will proudly wash my hair with bar soap and pay my catâs vet bills rather than pay you shysters any more than I have to.
Unfortunately physical disability = needing delivery, otherwise Iâd have long switched to a supermarket that wasnât Woolies or Coles. But my genetics fucked me over there

yeah that makes it tough as heck. Woolies and coles just end up taking advantage of battlers doing it tough.
