Food prices
I remember pre covid, things like bacon cost 15 bucks a kg or 17 bucks max....now its more like 20 bucks...
Fuel prices are not higher and if fuel drops should food drop too?
I think the supermarkets are raking in the smackaroos...all whilst we as a nation spend more money in the country...and having a bigger population due to returning kiwis...
If our lamb is cheaper overseas why so high here?
I bought 1kg of frozen chicken tenders pre lockdown for 9 bucks....went and got some yesterday and all of a sudden 950grams for 15 bucks???? Tegel...you ripping us off!
Have a look at your food you buy...quantity and price...very sneaky method of raking in the millions!
Stolen Pot plants
Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
