Bland article
Well .... That was a disappointing article in this weeks Kapiti Observer on the price of butter. I could have got more information from reading the comments on Neighbourly.
More info on the wholesale price of butter would have been interesting along with a recommendation or two about what action should be taken and what options consumers have. For example, the price of butter blends has stayed relatively constant, at around the $5 mark, compared to the 100% butter packs. There are some other advantages too. Blends are better for you than butter in terms of saturated fat and most dont contain preservatives, while many margerines do.
Freight costs to ship goods overseas are high at present. So, if we are paying the same price as UK Sainsbury's, are we paying an overinflated price, given that there are less freight costs involved?
Was hoping for a good piece of investigative journalism on this issue, which was sadly lacking.
