Milk prices
The great milk rip off ?
Supermarkets are supposed to be the cheapest!!!! Yes?
Dairies used to be the most expensive.
Current prices from my local suppliers:
Dairy 2 x 2ltr $1.5 ltr
Home brand 2ltr $1.90 ltr,
Meadowfresh 3lt $2.45 ltr
Meadowfresh 1ltr $2.95 ltr
"While there are significant price differences between premium brands and budget brands, the actual milk itself was largely the same", Prichard a farm owner said.
"There are micro differences. You will have to work very hard to identify them.
There was even very little difference in the taste of organic milk versus non-organic milk, he said.
"The term organic is very hard to nail down and almost impossible to tell when it comes to taste."
"So yes, in New Zealand all fresh milk effectively comes from the same place," the spokeswoman said.
Its aim with Countdown milk was to provide a "good everyday option" that was affordable, she said.
"The packaging is basic and costs are kept to a minimum, but it's absolutely as fresh and good quality as any other fresh milk on the market."
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
