Whether you're into eco-living, love a good underdog story, or just want to see how toilet paper can become a tool for real change (and a few giggles), this one's for you.

How supermarkets rip us off.

Leigh and Jayne follow up on the news that the ACCC is taking Coles and Woolworths to court for misleading shoppers. They discuss many ways this is happening and even then, not covering all of the shenanigans they get up to.  

Then on to a wonderful chat with Julie who is part of a family grocery business, Harkola, who supply Box Divvy. Working with family has its challenges and it’s good to see how this works for them.

Jayne and Leigh delve into the Box Divvy 'just-in-time' process delivering produce freshly picked not stored. You will see how a short supply line can reduce prices.
