The IGA prices are so jacked up bro π
Yes they are; Because they small businesses, which actually pay their employees a living wage and donβt have the buying power of the big supermarkets.
Even then, all the IGA locals around me and larger IGAs on surrounding towns are still cheaper than Safeway and Coles.
This isn't my experience with Foodland or IGA - they generally only employ teenagers so they can pay them the under 18 rates.
We must be going to different stores on different days.
All the Local IGAs in my area employ single mums and more mature staff members. The only young employees I see are family members of the owners.
The big IGA in a nearby town employs the same demographics of staff members; they even have a professional Butcher on staff (and they have excellent value cuts of meat) (I used to deliver for a butcher when I was younger and have seen some dodgy butchers and some overpriced dodgy butchers and some excellent butchers.)
