If you’re far enough outside of the cities (or willing to drive) you can also often buy direct from farms, cutting out the middlemen that all demand their own cut. And don’t forget places like NQR and The Reject Shop for non-perishables.

I would also urge people to find their local community garden and/or food bank. If you need the support, there is no shame at all in accepting it from your community. If you don’t currently need the support, offer to do what you can to help those that do need it. The more we can help each other, the less we need corporations like Coles and Woolworths.
