The stories are often relevant to the demographic of the suburb. Australian suburbs have very few options, cost of living is high and the quality is low. Meat pie and a drink to go for a family of 4 can easily hit the $90 without trying. Buying good food is expensive- but yes the frozen food isle with cheap frozen goods from Asia is a good option. Given the fact that we live in a high cost society with 2 income families being the “norm” I see Australia as a country that no longer has a future. Social media always pipe dreams the stay at home family, riding a bike to work and living off $120 a week rent, spending all day cooking, baking and preparing meals. It’s 2022 not 1922.
