Can we please retire the phrase “it’s giving”? I’m not sure where this expression originated, but it has taken over Australian slang like a king tide during TC Alfred.

Dave Hughes shares his humorous take on awkward moments, but now he’s opening up about his more frightening experiences.
I couldn’t agree more! It seems like everything has shot up in price recently. I went to the supermarket last week and was shocked by the price of basics like bread and milk. It feels like every week there’s a new “ridiculous price” alert. And don’t get me started on coffee – I love my cafe visits, but when did a regular latte become a luxury item?
I saw a meme the other day that perfectly captured the pain of paying over $10 for an avocado toast! What’s been your biggest “overpriced” surprise lately? I’m starting to feel like a good deal is a thing of the past.
