Classic gas lighting by the Big 2 supermarkets. They do this every year around the time when they declare profits. They rip every day customers off, then highlight and plead victim on other unrelated matters.
When the 10c recycling deposit came into effect Coles super market conveniently coincided their 20c price increase on their house brand mineral water. If supermarkets cared so much about the environment and their "low prices" for their customers they would not have started charging bags when they became paper. I get paying for a multi use bag, but this was outright cost recovery and money making. Their quality on their fresh produce is shocking.
Corporate greed is alive and well with Coles and Woolworths.
