On the plus side I did see some very nice pictures of Iga, who seems to be a Russian 'glamour model'

If you live in a remote area - you pay more.
And Perth is pretty remote.

From your link, I bought these teabags for $7.49 this week in Perth.
I don't buy any of the other stuff on your list apart from the Rinse Aid - like $2 for Coles brand. A shit, who gives one.
On a basket of goods, Perth is $3-odd more expensive than Melbourne - whoopee doo. Kind of shows that the COL is very similar in all capital cities.
Costco is only in Melbourne.
Sure groceries are expensive here, but we all eat well - nobody is starving and if you are malnutritioned then you are a f**kwit or have parents who are ******s.
Don't let the price of groceries rule your life - the good points if Australia outweigh the high COL in my opinion. There are better things to worry about.

The opposite of illuminate.
To dim or "turn down" (as in lighting)
The room was too bright, so Jodi asked me to deluminate it.
As far back as 2003

I think you knicked it from the Urban Dictionary!
I bet you can't find it in a real dictionary.

Urban Dictionary: knicked
knicked - 2 definitions - 1) to steal 2) to get caught.
I think we all use 'new' words, without realising we are changing the language.

I note you haven't found a real definition of deluminate yet.

There are actually quite a few words used these days that are not in any official dictionary.

Right. So deluminate is not a real word. Agreed.
P.s. I can't believe you are using the Urban Dictionary to support your argument!

I had to check it because I have heard the word before, and wondered about it's genuineness.
But the point being that new words are coming into effect all the time, and we can't pick up on every word used that isn't in an official dictionary, can we ?
But I suppose we can try........
