#339613 — The Price Of Mince

Heard on the TV news earlier that the price of mince is $24/kg.

I checked the pack in my freezer that I bought back on Saturday, and
that was marked at $22/kg.

I expect that the discrepancy is because most NZers are buying
essentially all their groceries at the supermarket.

Don’t do that. Things not to get from the supermarket:
  * fruit & veges
  * milk
  * meat

Instead, try your local fruit & vege shop, and butcher shop. You’ll
find they offer better variety and prices than a supermarket.

There is a war on. Without cheap oil prices rise, as does inflation. (Now at
3.7%.)
