Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Sometimes they do Meadowfresh as well, and sometimes they have cheap butter. My household goes there just for milk lol.

      Butter was $5 a block but countdown had them at the same price.

      Grocer tells me Cowgate is $3 for 2L, compared to $3.70 for the countdown branded milk. The $2 a week we’d save is a drop in the bucket compared to our total spend, not really worth the special trip for us, even if I liked it. We’d have to drink a lot more milk.

        Yeah butter is only good on special, they have had $4 specials in the past and you can freeze it. Bit of a treat food. I tend to go through a lot of milk and cheese though because it’s still much cheaper than meat.

        I guess it’s all relative. $2p/w = $54 p/y. Whether that’s an attractive savings depends.

          It’s not worth it if I don’t like the milk 😆

          I’d like to keep buying some groceries there though, even if it’s only to try to help break the duopoly.

            Hahaha I’m not telling you to buy it, more explaining why I do that. Sorry!

            I really hope it does help break the duopoly, I really don’t like it. Reduced To Clear are good but you can’t really bank on getting any specific thing there.
