A Betoota Heights mum has today informed her kids that unless they’re happy to eat the godless compound chocolate easter eggs that taste like candles, Easter celebrations might not be happening this year.
Sarah Plemmens, a working mum of four, tells The Advocate that she got the shock of her life today when she was doing her weekly Woolies trip, and saw that a packet of easter eggs was going for a whopping $23.
Sarah says this especially hurts as it comes just one year after Bunnings announced that sausage sizzles would be going up from $2.50 to $3.50, which meant her least favourite child could no longer eat if she all she had was a tenner available.
“Tim Tams cost six bucks, a packet of chips is $7 – what the fuck is happening?”, asks Sarah, shaking her head, “and remember when rice was free when you ordered Thai takeaway?”
“What’s happening with this world?”
Sarah says her kids pretty much have no other option but to eat healthy now, because the price of junk food is astronomical.
“Who knows, maybe that’s the plan? Can’t afford junk food, and it’s getting even harder for young people to live on their own.”
“Guess we won’t have an obesity crisis or a loneliness epidemic in the future.”
More to come.
