Grocery prices

Leonie from Foxton

On Sunday some of our family had a lunch and a catch up at my place. I bought some potato salad from Foxton New World, and some one else got some at Countdown in Palmerston North. The prices were so different that I looked closely and saw that the New World price per 100 grams was $18.50 and Countdown $11.00. Can't believe the discrepancy could be so great, I think I ought to go back and question this.
