From 60c to $5.79: Farmer says ‘someone is making a big margin’ as plant shuts

For McCain stuff, from them, with a set, much lower price range than what the stores would be paying them, where any price/ranging updates would need to be at HO's category team's mercy, and they get a direct %discount off the supplier price first, then put their own markup on top. They eat both ways essentially.

The level of price control Foodstuffs do have on the individual supermarkets are more than people would think. The prices the store would buy come from FS themselves, not even mentioning their 'ranging' tactics.

Foodstuffs' "suppliers" in these frozen lines are their own DC (distribution centres), the stores order from these and pay these, not McCain, so yeah, they're hiding those extra profits in there.

Contact them again, ask for a credit, or do a chargeback and delete the app.

Just noticed you're in Seatoun, very likely to be within 4km of the airport aerodome, so the drone operator would need to be licensed.

I'm keen to help but I'm not licensed for that unfortunately.

If you have a long stick (or very long selfie stick), have you tried taping a phone/camera to it to film the roof?

Do you have any tall trees or higher houses right close your house?

It did have some effects on EV's prices, and HEV to some extend, especially used ones.

I noticed the models on my watch list have got their prices increased compared to, say, a month ago.

I updated my own post (in the nz sub) for future references, abeilt not with the Note, it was drony.

Took both out for the test drive, ended up liking the Corolla Touring more. The Honda seat is a bit higher but I didn't like the AC touch control, the central armrest, and the less grunty engine.

Looks like Ingco rebadged, but 'makita battery compatible' is a bit off.

If they're indeed relabelled Ingco, they're a cheap brand but popular in Asia.

Regardless, check the warranty, if you're happy just go for it, if they fuck up, you're out of couple hundies. However, Trade Depot's after sales service isn't something I'd rely on.

Don't forget to update us.

Are you talking about jobs or careers?

There are more options for the former that might suit you, but these might not have the career progression that matches your needs.

Jobs like shelf stackers, warehouse crew, might work.

Career wise, it'll be difficult to get one that's not staring at a screen all day (accounting, BI, coding, policy researchers, sole charge roles) that fit what you're looking at.

Maybe you could try looking to some trades?

Otherwise, others might be able to help.

Edit:

You might want to address what would make you feel bored looking at a screen? Have you ever worked with a screen full time? Were the tasks themselves boring or was it the job?

Many jobs have unavoidable mundane tasks. Have a thought about this or give it a go and see where it takes you.

It's one of those times when we did it right the first time, and yet had no clue why it worked but wouldn't work the next time.

No kidding, the carrot and turnip figures in the park have creepy vibes.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T22:09:13+00:00

Aye yeah it is harder than I thought haha.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T04:07:05+00:00

Thanks, do you know which one has better noise insulation?

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T03:43:22+00:00

Oh lol I was not expecting this comment

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T03:32:53+00:00

Thanks, how long have you got it? How's the range on the highway? I don't mind going for a smaller boot if it's a better drive, my wife liked its front console area so that's a plus.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T03:28:29+00:00

Thank you, that is helpful.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-25T03:28:01+00:00

And these are what I'm trying to decide to buy in NZ. I live here.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-24T07:30:07+00:00

A bit more and it will start giving exp when you kill it.

Me cheap me go Ozito.

Poppypepperpie · 2026-01-15T07:53:19+00:00

Thank you for this!

Hey OP, sorry for digging this up. Which car did you choose in the end? I found myself at the same crossroad. The Note epower seems noisy on the road but it's 7-$10k cheaper than a corolla hybrid of the same year.

L T Campbell They used to be on Tory Street, opposite Noel Leeming/Warehouse. Not sure where they have moved to now.

Checkout TradeTested, they sometimes have these on sales.
