I can totally relate to the struggle of navigating overpriced goods and services in Australia! Just the other day, I stopped by a café and was shocked to see a small coffee priced at nearly $5.

Anyone else have funny or frustrating stories about getting ripped off lately? Let’s share our experiences!
