First, the inflation gods came for our fruit and veg prices, and we did not speak out because who cares about fresh food anyway. Then they came for petrol prices, and we did not speak out because we could catch the bus. But then they came for coffee prices – and we had to say far out that’s rough… Milk prices are rising thanks to the rocketing of dairy farmers’ input costs – cafe owners say get ready for a 50-80c/cup increase. Last week, Coles and Woolworths confirmed increases to their own brand milk, blaming higher supply chain costs, including payments to farmers. The cow milkers say it’s a long time coming, and we can’t begrudge them that… We’ll be fine as long as the inflation gods leave potatoes unscathed. Oh no hang on…
