Supermarket pricing

Glenice from St Albans

Comparing pricing between Supermarkets.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a
...1000gm block of Mainland Tasty Cheese $21.49 from New World Durham Street.
As I was requiring a large amount of cheese, I purchased the next day another
...700gm block of Mainland Tasty Cheese $21.79 from Fresh Choice Edgeware.
I phoned the second supermarket and queried the price and was told that their pricing is controlled by head office.
I can understand 30cents difference in price but when it was 300gms smaller and 30c dearer; I can’t accept.
I feel somebody has read the wrong line when pricing this item. Which one is correct?? Or are we still being ripped off by supermarkets.
Brushed aside by the Floor Manager.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
