incoming rant. Vulgar language may be used.

Yesterday I noticed that Coles flatbread has gone up a buck from $3 to $4. That's 16.66666666667c increase per wrap. It's flour and water! I only buy it because it's made fresh right before my eyes so if you're reading this Coles you can go and lick my old man's left testicle you fucking bottom dwelling scabs. Yeah I'm dirty. I hope Santa brings you a big bag of farts ya scumbags.

The End

I think you could get a job writing rants. That was top notch.

It's one of many talents I have.

It’s just price gouging at this point. I wish Aldi was more accessible for me.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aldi are going to start delivering soon.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

YES!!! The day that happens I'll no longer shop at woolies

I went to Aldi the other day. No cottage cheese. No alfoil. No Lactose free milk. I was forced to go to Coles unfortunately. But I do hope that when Aldi starts delivering it forces the other 2 to stop the bullshit.

I get the Aldi flat bread. $2/5pc.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We normally get lebanese bread (made that day) for $1.60 for 5 but sometimes it's nice to mix it up. I'm seriously thinking about making my own.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm looking for something lower joule to swap out but most wraps are small or thin, or expensive, or all three. Leb bread is such an all rounder in my diet.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

A1 bakery are the best ones.

I’m with you. Bloody Woolworths rises their homebrand soft drinks to 1.10.

Original they were about 69 or 75 cents.

Pretty soon it’ll be double the original price.
