  When 400g of butter at $8 is described as extra low 😂 oh how times have changed.

  It's nice to see shrinkflation is alive and kicking, 500g butter is now 400g butter.

  Wait a second, no it's not.

    Tbf the Westgold butter is nicer and the blocks have always been 400g.

      If you do a blind taste test you'll find that it is completely different, having vastly different ingredients compared to other pure butters :-)

      It also has the benefit of helping you lose weight as it reduces the load in your pocket.

      I'll take your word on that, I've only ever known butter to be 500g, maybe they are ahead of the game, shrinkflating ahead of the curve.

  Such a reflection on these supermarket companies that a huge new one opens and these "deals" are their opening specials. That supermarket would be expected to be open for decades surely? They only have opening deals once. And these are them?

  Considering the model of Foodstuffs you can only put it down to one thing really - the owner is greedy.

  I love being a Kiwi and getting fleeced in my own country for dairy products… that are produced in my own country. 🇳🇿 🥝 👍🏻

  I guess it’s all about paying market prices - we can’t blame the farmers, or anyone else really. But damn, does it put a dent in the old pocket! 😞

  Sometimes I feel I’m being held to ransom in my own little isolated island nation, having to pay market prices on everything and getting billed and taxed and fleeced up to the hilt.

  Next, there’ll be a tax on breathing. Or farting. Oh, wait…

    I totally agree.

    Please setup a business, selling dairy products at, say, 75% the amount that Woolworths sell for (you could charge market rates for delivery of course - it wouldn't be fair for anyone to expect you to cover those costs yourself), and let us know once you are up and running.

    You will single-handedly solve the problem of being 'fleeced', and we will all be very grateful to you.

  Haha. Not trying to say I could do things better than anybody else. I’m not that smart. Just saying I’m sick & tired of paying through the nose for everything…

  But, feel free to give your suggestion a trial run and then get back to me if it’s a winner. I’ll happily buy cheaper butter from you (as long as it’s not mouldy!).

    Problem is I just don't believe it can be done very easily, so I'm not going to try.

    Lots of people are out there, already trying really hard to do exactly what you are (implicitly) suggesting - trying to provide the best possible balance of service, convenience, price etc, and all they get is criticism and envy, rather than the heartfelt thanks they are due.

    Consider how anyone would get a better deal (from their own perspective), when a shop owner gives in to the accusations of 'greed', packs up, and closes their shop.

    We can reasonably infer that anyone not previously buying from them would not immediately care, and they'd continue to buy at (we would guess), the same price and from the same location as before.

    However, all those that were buying from them would now have to buy from somewhere else, either paying more, or having to travel further, or having to deal with someone they don't like, or, or, or…. I don't presume to know what it was that made them weigh up their options and choose to buy there previously, but I respect their choice as making sense for them, and now they have to go with their second best option, so their life is just a little worse than it was before.

    However, chalk one up for the 'all business owners are greedy brigade', so hurrah!

    Having said all that, I strongly suspect that most people agree with you that 'someone' ought to do 'something' about most things that aren't right in their world, just so long as it isn't them that tries to actually do the doing.

      Can’t argue with any of that, Alan. Agree
