It certainly is Black Friday here in NZ, supermarket shoppers are in a black mood for good reason. In my local Countdown yesterday, tomatoes were $23.60 a kilo and a leg of lamb was $23.50 a kilo. In contrast at Sainsbury in the UK, tomatoes were at just NZ$4.26 a kilo and NZ lamb was on special at $13.00 a kilo (including the cost of shipping it halfway around the world). UK shoppers are complaining that the cost of food has rocketed, apparently, they don’t know the meaning of it.
