Earlier in the year they pumped a chokito from $1.50 to $2.25.
Today the base price was $3.00.

Not happy Jan.

You got 2000 other chocolates to choose before that
I don’t like mars bars or snickers either
Anything else is good

I can afford it but $214 for 15 minutes ($85 Medicare rebate) is crazy, no wonder many go straight to a free hospital visit instead of the GP. Imagine having to do that once or twice a month.

Had a follow up appointment today after some bloods tests. Same length of time

$84.32
Rebate $43.90

Not sure of the difference between the two

I did know someone who was doing it earlier this year but he has since quit. He was doing food deliveries not people deliveries
