| 1454760 | 2018-10-22 23:25:00 | I have always been on a crusade about this. Its not our wages that are low, but our costs are high. What items do you find expensive? Every tourist I meet says that our beer is very dear. Foot care products by Scholes etc in a chemist are about 3 times the price as in online pharmcies in the UK. Today I just paid $10 for a speed brush refill pad. I was very angry about that, as I needed it, but I am sure that it would be about $3 in the USA! So can you add any other items? |

I was very angry about that, as I needed it, but I am sure that it would be about $3 in the USA! try the $2 shops next time. Thats where the bargains are. If you want stuff cheap, you have to accept the staff will be very low paid, and get rid of the min wage . and move NZ into the US |

| 1454769 | 2018-10-23 02:25:00 | Everything. Thats why I buy things on Alixpress. Even if takes 23-3 weeks to get here Glad I dont have to worry about petrol / cars or booze. If the landlord wants building material they can buy it |
