Ah bugger should've stocked up at PNS. I typed 'mince' into the Cheapies search bar and $5-6 / kg of value mince was popular back in 2016-2018. Now $10 for prime mince seems to be a decent deal.
You didn't actually believe the bank inflation rate, did you? Food kept mostly low, prices of apples hasn't changed in 30 years. Meanwhile, as meat gets too expensive it will be replaced in the "inflation basket" with something cheaper. O! Look at that! Consumer prices are back down again!
The inflation is about 2% per year, so yes in theory your apples have increased in price since 2001. It's not dependent if you believe inflation exists or not. https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics/key-graphs/key-graph-inf...
