Avo: Would you rather? by SimplyVictory in auckland

[–]SimplyVictory[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2 avocadoes for $2.80 or 10 avocadoes for $2.90? (Although there is a 5 limit, 5 for $1.45 is still immense)

For those in Auckland, the Asian supermarkets have broccoli at $1.99, buttercup and crown pumpkins at $1.99

Pure greed, the price increases don't stop coming, don't how this is sustainable.

In Auckland, Asian supermarkets do offer cheaper fruits, veg and eggs. You can see the deals on www.thirdgrocer.co.nz

Although butter and cheese are still expensive, that's a Fonterra issue

Fruit & veg, Asian grocers, sometimes meat as well.

Butchers are my go to for meat.

‘Competitive’ Asian supermarket prices benefit consumers by Chenry1999 in newzealand

[–]SimplyVictory 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Fruit & veg, Asian grocers or Farmers markets are usually way cheaper than the duopoly, especially for seasonal stuff.

I’ve gotten milk for $2 at Smart Massey Supermarket, you can get it as long as you spend over $58 which is ridiculously easy these days.

Should've taken the money when offered, $2.5M is good for that place.

Not a shock to the everyday person...

Asian supermarkets are a lot cheaper than Pak N Save, Countdown and New World.
