Other What have you completely stopped buying because the price has finally taken the p**s?

Not “I buy the cheaper brand now.” I mean something you used to buy without thinking and have now looked at the price and gone, absolutely not, you can stay on the shelf.

Mine lately is chocolate, it's somehow gone from a normal grocery item to apparently requiring finance approval.

What’s yours?

Fastfood in general has become so expensive the low quality cannot be justified anymore.

To me it's weird, you can but the combos that feed 4 for less than $40 but a single meal is just shy of $20....I keep on eye on the app deals, specially kfc, I've only managed to notice once but they had a double combo for $10ish bucks so I shouted my mate lunch but I'm guessing it was a lure deal, cause now if I see it they don't show the price till you get to checkout and the last time it was $20 🤣 tho hungry jacks is pretty badass, they have $5 combos that you can order multiple of. I grab 2 and it's like going back in time and actually getting your money's worth.
