Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

Would you travel to Ātiamuri for your petrol?

Ātiamuri first made a name for itself in hydro power. Now it's cheap fuel that's putting this tiny village back on the map. The small rural community on the bank of the Waikato River holds the title of cheapest place for petrol in the country, according to petrol price comparison app Gaspy.

Gull Ātiamuri – 45 kilometres north of Taupō – last week was selling 91 unleaded for $2.107 a litre. Three hours north, in central Auckland, it's 30 cents dearer. Read more
