I bet they were good bin bags though, what were they made of - angora wool?

Was it a little co-op? In which case it's more of a convenience supermarket? And also bin bags are super shit for the environment.

Must be to balance out the fact that everyone uses their carrier bags to line the compost bin, so the 5p charge does absolutely nothing to deter people from using them. I actually go to the Co-op specially to stock up on carrier bags for the compost bin.

What do you use instead of bin bags?

HappierTimesAhead · 26/09/2024 20:15

I have come to terms with olive oil being the same price as a bottle of wine with the reasoning that the bottle of wine will only last a couple of days but the oil will last for ages. I acknowledge this is very first world, privileged reasoning.

I know Italy didn't have a good olive harvest this year so I think that may have upped prices.

co op has always been ridiculously priced for everything might as well get it delivered from Waitrose off Uber eats

Phen0menon · 26/09/2024 20:21

Yes stuff has gone up. But a hell of a lot of wages have too.5 years ago my cleaner charged £11 an hour.... now she charged £17. 5 years ago I earned £95k now I earn £150k.

Wage inflation goes hand in hand with rising prices. I don't really get why people are surprised.

That might be true for non-public sector... For the rest of us, not so much...
