It isnt mums and dads looking for bargains for the family at the markets anymore. Its the hipster foodies who carry on like they're masterchef judges. They've driven up the price. The same generation who are willing to wildly overpay for anything simply so they can take a pic of it for their instagram.

You go to the stand alone butchers and fruit & veg shops out in whoop whoop, and more often its more expensive than the supermarkets. How can that be?
Coles and WW buy cheap, so whatever left over stock they have for other suppliers, they sell at a premium (can you blame them). And commercial rent, especially in shopping centres, is absurd these days.
