Hope it’s not too much @TAB . Waiting for helper to show up. Getting worried he’s not gonna be here in time for my appt. Will have to turn air on soon especially as got roller shutter up for him to get in.

@MissGremlin I've read in the past about parents skipping meals so kids can eat. Theres lots of food insecurity out there. The statistics are really high ever since the pandemic. I'm really sorry you have found yourself in that situation.

Have you ever been to Ozharvest or Fareshare? They give food for free to those struggling with cost of living pressures, no questions asked. (edited by moderator) Its very modernised. OzHarvest also provides meals from their kitchen apart from handing out grocery and produce. I know Fareshare has a big modern banana bus that goes to many stop off points where people line up for produce and grocery. I've used services such as this in the past

With the cost of living my house insurance has trebled. I got solar several years ago which keeps bills down. I dont own a car which is good. I'm getting into my vegie patch as a way to cut costs on my food bill. Its a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul. I've really had to be mindful of discretionary spending over the past few years although I never really bought much other than things for hobbies and some used clothing.

@SmilingGecko that's pretty much where it's at for me. It's tough but I do what I have to do.

Unfortunately most of the places that offer food aren't much help to me given that I have high anxiety around food and what i can and can't eat. Have to buy foods that are the furthest away from use by or best before dates, can only eat certain brands as I don't cope with change etc. Used to be ok when you could get food vouchers and buy the food you wanted/needed but too many people abused that and ruined it for those that did the right thing. It's getting harder to just get by especially only being on disability pension, my money only goes on rent, bills, keeping my car on the road and whatever food I can afford after that. I have my colouring and craft things which I occasionally get but that's a very small cost given that I have plenty of supplies from over the years. Clothing for me is cheap leggings and second hand tops. So there's no extra expenditures that I could even cut back on to free up more money, there's just physically not enough to cover the bare necessities.
