When I shop at the supermarkets I tend to look at what items cost per kilo or per litre, not that I can do anything about it, the scale of price hiking is full on with commercial businesses and the greed for progressive and ongoing RECORD profit continue to reign. There are hundreds of examples such as items as small as a chocolate bar weighing 40 to 60 grams at 99c last week and now at $1.25c, that equates to approximately $22.50c + per kilo, that is more than a 250gram chocolate bar at $4 each, that’s a ridiculous $16 per kilo. And what about bread, $1 a loaf; do we really believe a $3 loaf has $2 worth of better ingredient in ever loaf than a one dollar? We all know milk is expensive but how about a bowl of tin soup, you can see it on the shelves and work it out yourself next time you shop, you can pay in excess of $10 for a litre of soup, how on earth do the soup kitchens manage :). I believe profits should be FAIR for all retail businesses, commercial banks and the like especially. If these areas are better managed/controlled perhaps the call for wage hikes would fall. It is they (NZ business) and our leaders who are responsible for this equation.

It’s possible another rapidly approaching jackpot is closing in, during the build-up weeks lotto players still have the chance to win the big one however when it reaches the “must win target of $50ML” why not spread that $50ML across the NZ communities and create more NZ millionaires. … View moreIt’s possible another rapidly approaching jackpot is closing in, during the build-up weeks lotto players still have the chance to win the big one however when it reaches the “must win target of $50ML” why not spread that $50ML across the NZ communities and create more NZ millionaires. Operated like a Lotto special promotion you could see different formulas, say 10 X $5Millionaires or even 25 X $2 millionaires. Is it better for $50ML jackpots to go to one or two winners or would it be better spread across NZ communities? I certainly think so.
