Aussies discover councils' cashback schemes on these popular products
- Replies 46
The rising prices of goods have not been easy to navigate for many. But it has even become more difficult for women to afford the right menstrual products. However, there's a positive development that can offer some relief.
A particular supermarket item is now eligible for a 50 per cent rebate, thanks to a recent initiative by councils across Australia.
At least 22 councils across five states and territories have offered homeowners up to $130 cashback on reusable menstrual products, such as period underpants.
This initiative is part of a broader push towards sustainability and reducing waste, as these products are not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
Major supermarket chains have jumped on board, stocking a wide range of period briefs in-store and online.
These products are priced between $11 and under $38 in both Coles and Woolworths. However, with the available rebates, ratepayers can stock up for 50 to 100 per cent off the retail price.
The news has taken social media by storm, with many users expressing surprise and delight at the discovery of the rebate scheme.
'What a fantastic incentive,' one user commented, while another added, 'Wow, I had no idea.'
Despite the enthusiasm, many are questioning why this scheme isn't more widely publicised.
'So good to know, why isn't anyone publicising this?' one user asked.
