Things be expensive! But options for accessing affordable food are around. Thanks to the work of many, we can now pull a bunch of them together in the one place.<\/p>\n

\n

With the Flinders Market finished for 2023<\/a> and the ongoing need students have to eat, I thought I’d pull together some options for accessing low-cost food via different food hubs [to be clear, pulling these together has been because of the work of Oasis, their volunteers and my wider network].<\/p>\n

If you know of other food hubs, please let us know so we can build this list.<\/p>\n

Let us know if this cost-of-living themed post is helpful, because we can do more of these in 2024.<\/p>\n
