Why inflation is up again and what’s really driving it – The Front Page

ffs another excuse to jack up the price of a pie. inflation my arse.

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T05:39:00.000Z

lol cope. maybe if you stop buying overpriced pies you'd save a few bucks?

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T05:19:00.000Z

but it's not as bad as they predicted? only 4.1% instead of 4.9%... that's a win right?

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T05:41:00.000Z

yeah but that's not really 'lower than expected' when they just changed the goalposts

Blake Turner2026-07-21T05:47:00.000Z

cool cool cool. rent's going up again next month. thanks Jacinda... wait she's gone. thanks no one.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-21T05:58:00.000Z

what's really driving it? greed. pure greed. look at the supermarket duopoly.

Casey Adams2026-07-21T06:55:00.000Z

facts, same here. meat alone went up like $5 a kilo.

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T06:33:00.000Z

tbh I'm just trying to figure out if I can still afford avocado toast or if that's a boomer myth now

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T06:46:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. every time they say 'lower than expected' it's still higher than my pay rise.

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T06:52:00.000Z

get stuffed lol. a pie is the only joy I have left in this economy.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T07:01:00.000Z

honest question: what can we actually do about it? feels like we're just along for the ride 😅

Blake Turner2026-07-21T07:07:00.000Z

move to Australia apparently? that's what everyone keeps telling me

Blake Turner2026-07-21T07:05:00.000Z

The front page? more like the front load of crap. same old stories, same old excuses.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-21T07:20:00.000Z

vote with your wallet they said... yeah right my wallet's empty now

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T07:31:00.000Z

more like vote with your fork... at the supermarket self-checkout

Ben Sullivan2026-07-21T07:48:00.000Z

haha too true. my wallet's running on fumes
