We Say, You Say: Supermarket Prices
The government has initiated a review into whether New Zealanders pay too much at the supermarket checkouts.
The Commerce Commission plans to follow a similar approach to that of their investigation into the price of petrol and diesel for land transport, which cost the taxpayer an estimated $2.5 million dollars. Labour promised an investigation into food prices on the election campaign and if unfair practices are found when the Commission's report is released in late 2021, necessary changes will be made.
Do you notice price differences between supermarket chains?

So we want to hear what you think:

-
23.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.5% ... It is complicated
