Nice to see the CEOs earning their big pay rise? getting as much out of the place before it goes belly-up because of their incompetence?

Lily, I have found a grocery shopping site that has an A- AAAA listing of all it's products ...
AAAA = Australian owned, Australian made from Australian materials or ingredients.
AAA = Australian owned, Australian made from local and imported ingredients.
AA = Australian owned, imported product, packaged in Australia.
A = Australian owned, imported product.
I did a trial order which came to over 18 kilos and the postage/delivery was under $5 ,,, it would also stop spur of the moment buys, so I am going to give it a try. I haven't shopped at a Woolies or Coles in years, doing my bit with IGA Only Australian Groceries,!
