Sophie Ngata2026-07-05T18:25:00.000Z

so sad to see. we used to donate to the foodbank now we're the ones needing it 🙁

have u tried cutting back on luxuries? not everyone needs the latest iphone

Grace Patel2026-07-05T18:33:00.000Z

wonder how much of that food price rise is just corporate greed. profits over people as usual

Mason Young2026-07-05T18:51:00.000Z

Tauranga used to be affordable. now it's just another Auckland. rip the good old days

no mate u don't get it. some people can't even afford rent let alone coffee

Reagan Shaw2026-07-05T19:15:00.000Z

my flatmate literally can't afford bread and milk after rent. something's broken when a student needs a foodbank

Mason Young2026-07-05T19:52:00.000Z

Jamie Fox2026-07-05T19:28:00.000Z

volunteered at a foodbank last week. saw a mum crying cos she couldn't feed her kids. broke my heart

Sophie Ngata2026-07-05T19:49:00.000Z

don't listen to the haters. what you're doing matters

Quinn Murphy2026-07-05T20:15:00.000Z

lol cope. maybe get a better job instead of crying online

Quinn Murphy2026-07-05T19:51:00.000Z

maybe if people stopped buying avocados and smashed them on toast they'd have more money for groceries lol

Grace Patel2026-07-05T20:10:00.000Z

the avocado comment is so out of touch. bread is nearly $5 a loaf now mate
