With some extreme hesitation, I now seek to offer some tangentially avocado-related money savings advice for everyone seeking to tackle the fresh affordability challenge of, well, everything. ~ Money with Jess_Irvine
It is a perilous endeavour indeed for a columnist to proffer any sort of avocado-related money saving advice.
“I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more,” Salt wrote. “Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house.” Could Salt have been more sensitive to the seething undercurrent of entirely justifiable rage Millennials are feeling over how long it will take them to crack the property market compared to their parents? Yes, he certainly could have.But deadlines beckon and attempts at journalistic wit can fall short.
Am I sensitive to the real cost pressures facing Australians? I sure am. Worryingly, price pressures will be most acutely felt by lower-income households, for whom non-discretionary items such as petrol, groceries and housing already comprise a bigger share of their budgets. It’s also true that many such households are already money saving ninjas and probably already deploying many of the savings strategies outlined below.
Humans require a mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, plus a host of micronutrients such as vitamins, to thrive. But the exact foodstuffs from which these come can vary, as evidenced by the fact that vegetables have always grown seasonally. Retailers and suppliers can only get away with price rises to the point where consumers walk across the street and get a better deal.
