Our weekly bill has gone up to $180 and we eat out at least twice a week! ]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:36:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312979&title=omg-the-price#312979 <![CDATA[OMG the price... : Most of the time I try and go...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312938&title=omg-the-price#312938 Author: hailstones

Most of the time I try and go for the specials, but holy moly even on special 1kg of cheese is at least $10. I work in the food industry and even wholesale we pay $3 at the very least for butter (and you should see how much we go through!).

Groceries on the whole have gone up, this time last year I was spending $120-$130 on the average shop, now I am spending $150 plus every shop.

Shaz - I used to buy the $5 for 3 loaves of bread, and it seem to (in one week) go from that to $4.50 for 2.

Its not only the dairy industry, its the transport costs of everything as well, among other things.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:51:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312938&title=omg-the-price#312938 <![CDATA[OMG the price... : Toni I know!

Toni I know! Every second month here, new world has so good on special 2 for $5, so we stock up then - but thats still $5 for 2 litres of milk. And we get a 4 pack of little yoghurts for just under $7 I guess that makes up for the price of cheese that others pay!]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:34:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312822&title=omg-the-price#312822 <![CDATA[OMG the price... : I know, I complain about it all...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312740&title=omg-the-price#312740 Author: meow

I know, I complain about it all the time. We used to go through 1kg cheese every week or so, now the brand we used to buy in 1kg is only 800g for the same price! How rude! And they don't make a bigger size either!

Butter is about $4 for a block now, used to be on average $1.89.
I am not baking as much as usual because it's been too hot, but I imagine I will be when the weather gets cooler.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:21:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312740&title=omg-the-price#312740 <![CDATA[OMG the price... : I&#039;m kinda glad that the price...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14808&PID=312705&title=omg-the-price#312705 Author: Millie1976

It's starting to have a roll down affect as well.
