I always wondered if the Māori trusts started a 3rd supermarket chain that everyone would bypass the duopoly.
Just a thought.

The annoying thing with sale prices is when they increase the "was $17.59" price higher than before and then show a massive 30% special on the item to make it look like you are saving money.

What I like about the Newtown Greengrocer is that they are locals, they smile, they are welcoming, they have their family helping out and the money goes into their back pockets instead of a stale big brand duopoly store who shifts their profits overseas.

After all the bullshit from Nicola Willis that breaking up the duopoly is her mission I bet we wont hear anything about any of those supermarket businesses struggling in this cost of living times and closing down.

Why would Aldi or any other supermarket chain set up in Aotearoa when the 2 existing chains are embedded and strangling the existing suppliers.

That's pretty impressive for a company classed as a "middleman"
They are just a shop selling products from NZ and all over the world.
Subcontracting others to make and pack their goods but not actually making any product.

All the politicians on the telly, wringing their hands telling us how they are dealing with the "cost of living crisis" whilst NOT dealing with the "cost of living crisis". #TruthInAdvertising

One thing I hate when shopping especially the duopoly is when they are out of stock and they move the more expensive items in the range to fill up the shelves.
It's devious and misleading and should be reported.

The sad thing is the commerce commission will come after the supermarkets with heavy fines and the supermarkets will just charge more to make up for the heavy fine.
So in the end the customers will be the losers, twice.

All the specials on the end of Woolworths aisles have been replaced with sweets.
Good luck taking your kids in and avoiding those very visual sweets and chocolates.

Short trip to Woolies for a couple of goodies for work and watch my blood pressure go through the roof looking at the prices.
When did Kelloggs original 920g get to $15.00 per box
What the actual fuck
