I thought there was a cost of living crisis, apparently not when people have money to throw away 😂

0:56 Lol, what kind of supermarkets? How are they helping?, giving food away, offering discounts? It's unprofessional and borderline disingenuous for the reporter to assume the viewers won't notice or care🙄🤦‍♂️

Why am i not surprised the bank gets the money. The groceries should be half price

It is a social supermarket with very low prices and a list of people, who can shop there.
