The big price rises at cafes and restaurants are helping me save money, because there are red lines I will not cross.

Eg I'm not paying more than $15 for a sandwich or $25 for a pub/cafe main. And I'm definitely not paying double figures for a slice of cake! Jesus.

Pubs and bars are getting a bit cheeky with pricing zero-alcohol beers too. I don't mind $9-$10 for a Heaps Normal, but no way am I paying $12. It's soft drink after all, get real.

They’re helping me to make healthier choices. I really don’t need an entree or dessert.

@Susan60 Yes! And I'm often drinking tap water,
also healthy.

@timrichards
I always opt for that here. Bottled water is an absolute scam unless you’re in a place where tap water is unsafe or unpleasant.

@Susan60 I was thinking more in place of soft drinks - to save money.

@timrichards

Oh definitely, but I’ve never had much soft drink. It was always too hard to get something that wasn’t too sweet, although that’s changing now.

We currently have runaway inflation and everything the economists are trying to do is counterproductive.

The main reason is government expenditure which is not being fed back into the economy.

@timrichards recently started using the EatClub app which sometimes discounts stuff enough to make them reasonable.
