It seems the inflation crisis truly takes no prisoners. For the first time in 15 years, that most wholesome of Aussie eats, the humble Bunning’s sausage sanga, is going up in price, from $2.50 to $3.50 – a whopping 40 per cent hike. The price increase comes into effect from July 23 in response to feedback from the community groups the beloved sausage sizzle supports.
Because of the increased cost of goods, the revenue the B-sizz was pulling in just wasn’t enough to meet the financial burdens faced by local charities. What won’t change, however, is that every cent raised by Bunnings will continue to go to the not-for-profits it supports, so don’t be too salty with the fine folks cooking up the snags when you find yourself fishing around your pockets for another gold coin.
