  Ahh Franklins… they used to have this chocolate drinking powder that absolutely was hands down the best ever. Better than milo, nesquick and cadbury.

  What I would do to get another jar of that 😭😭

  I just wanna go back, like it's 1999

  I ran a search on Wiki, and found out:

  "The last Franklins was at Westfield Miranda shopping centre; it closed in April 2015."

  Guess it wasn't that long ago 😁

  Franklins and grocery shopping was a big part of my 90's childhood. Our pantry was stocked up with the utalitarian "No frills" branded products with their plain black and white labels. They really took the savings to the extreme by not even paying for a graphics designer, logos, or colourful packaging. IGA's "Black and Gold" brand is probably the closest thing to generic branding you can find in 2020.

    If you look closely at the cardboard boxes below in the photo they actually are Black & Gold branded and one of them has the No Frills sticker stuck over it! So probably the same manufacturer.

    My favourite thing about franklins was that they were a 9-5 kind of store, that was closed on sundays. Every small business was able to flourish. If you needed something after hours you would go to the Local milk bar. There was a quality butcher, quality fruit and veg shop, fish monger, Smoke shop, flower shop, chocolate shop Etc in every centre - franklins has none of these. Woolworths Came along and put it all in greed style. Went from being cheeper than elsewhere to dearer than elsewhere. We now pay for convenience and have lower quality and dearer prices. Woolworths will be overtaken by something bigger one day.

      I think you'll find that food prices are actually considerably lower, but I think farmers and food manufacturers have been absolutely squeezed silly as a result.

      The variety on the shelves has also taken a massive hit. Woolworths and Coles struck off thousands of product lines from the shelves to try and compete with Aldi, so the product mix is more homogenous these days. IGA is a breath of fresh air when you can find a good one, but you'll pay for it.

      When I was in Canada earlier this year before COVID hit, the thing that struck me was that despite having far more grocery chains than Australia and good variety on the shelves, the prices were dreadfully high across the board. I suspect that's probably because Aldi didn't come along over there. There are a few 'budget' grocery chains, but I still found them to be dreadfully expensive.
