After a long day of work, or if you are just feeling lazy, and you can't be f*d cooking dinner, you may head down to the shops to pick up one of these - a bachelor's handbag.

The bachelor's handbag is a very recent addition to Australian slang, and was one of the most popular contenders for Australian word of the year in 2022.

For a while I had noticed that our guest Emilia Terzon, was an afficionado and connoisseur of the bachy handbag. So I invited her on to the show to talk about her area of expertise.

She is also a business and economics reporter for ABC News. So not only do we talk about the bachy handbag, but lots of vocabulary related to supermarkets and "Business English".

Her work for the ABC has been extremely broad, but her most recent areas include the housing market, and the Coles and Woolies duopoly.

If you are interested in improving your vocabulary related to business, or need to expand your general understanding of economics for english exams, then this is the episode for you.
