I just went into Countdown in Napier (the new one, we have two countdowns that are a 2 min walk from each other)

One loaf of Quality Bakers (we're stuck on the brand) was $4.20

15 pack of Tui was $25

A packet of Chocolate Fingers was $4.30

at the start of this year this would have been just over $25...

Shocking.:yuck:

Oh well, at least PC World is only $8.90:cool:

729491 2008-12-15 22:20:00 I saw a sign on a dairy in Papakura, which reads:



Egg - $4.99


$5 for one egg seems a bit steep. :p

I really can't afford anything else, I'm a student who can is only scraping by with Student Loan, Allowance and a part time job.

Come on, two years till Uni's over!

729497 2008-12-15 22:58:00 I don't think food (by that I mean no seasonal things such as fruit and vege) has gone up that much in the last year or so. (Cheese and Cereals have)

In fact I think the trend has been for steady prices over the last few years.

What worries me is how they have managed to do that ? How many of our grocery products have Chinese ingredients in them ? which would enable them to keep prices down. Asian toothpaste anyone ?
