Looking for affordable FRESH fruit & vegetables
Evening Ladies & Gentlemen,
Now, I need your help please.
The man and I have just paid through the nose (again) for our weekly fruit & vegetable shop. Once we picked ourselves off the floor and hobbled home with a broken and empty wallet, we made the decision we have to find another place to do our weekly shop.
We know that prices have been going through the roof across the board, but we feel that because a local place isn't there (for now) that this shop can increase prices above supermarket prices and get away with it as they are the closest in the neighbourhood.
We used to go to a couple on Lincoln Road, but one was so expensive and one had poor quality fruit and shocking service.
We would really value your import into where we can find good value for fresh products. We chose our current one because they had fresh products, even through the weekend.
So we really want:
1. FRESH
2. Affordable - good value
3. Great selection and variety
Thank you all in advance for your help
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
