This is not a Centrelink definition.
I am sorry for those who don't meet criteria in difficult circumstances, but then, when we had a similar tragedy over 30 years ago, there was no such support.
These products tried tested proven and trusted by Australian consumers over generations. But if you want to avoid this so called monopoly, you can always go for the cheap Albanian made rip off copies featured at Aldi.
Aldi make cheap rip off copies of products that have been tested and proved the best by generations of Australians. It's a shame the same level of disgust does not apply to their dishonest branding.
I use Price Hipster, which sends price alerts when products fall below a target price. This app sounds useful, but again Aldi not willing to share their prices for their fake European rip off copy cat items?
Maybe it's me getting old, but times too precious to get outraged every supermarket trip. So scan your card to get something at half price, or not, I don't see the problem.
