Thread: Fighting the rising cost of groceries

I've always found pet food to be a cheap alternative.

Look in the meat fridge for the raw kangaroo for pet meat, same as the people stuff, but heaps cheaper.

We pay $2 a kg for bananas, now this isnt to bad, but farmers get bugger al of this, and woolies get a crap load for paying some pimply faced teenager bugger all to put it on a shelf.

Woolies rips us off, just because prices are expensive, doesnt mean we have to pay it all, we can plan better and save a few bucks, which was more the point of this thread.

hmm as a second thought, buy woolies shares - the dividends from which you can plough back into the stores to make purchases and a proportion of which will come back to you as dividends again.... net gain to you

mind you... you would need about 12,000 shares to generate $100 a week for your groceries from the projected EPS of $0.44.... that's a mere $361,800.00 that you would need to buy in shares based on the share price at the time of posting... BARGAIN I say

Don't laugh my neighbours eat it at least 3 times a week. The only way a person on a senior pension can afford to live. It makes you stink though

You SURE about that???

Kangaroos can contain a LOT of parasites. I am not sure that pet meat goes through the rigorous testing/checking that human meat does. My uncle shoots the odd kangaroo, but only feeds the meat to his dogs because of all the parasites he sees when cutting up the meat.
