New Zealand produces 40x more food then us Kiwis consume. The prices we pay are linked to the export prices, because we are held captive by the food industry being so far from competition. It's notable supermarket owners and large food producers are extremely rich in New Zealand.

@MarcelHarding 2 дня назад

you people are lovely people

@StaceyMane Год назад

We love watching your videos, very entertaining, that is why wish you can make it longer. Also we can relate when you compare with Ireland because we have been there 2x. Cheers.

@GlenAndMado Год назад

Awh Im glad you understand the price difference then! haha :) I mean I was thinking the video was actually to long actually!

@brigidaodonnell7053 9 месяцев назад

We live here in the South Island of New Zealand and have been living off our own vegetable garden plus grow a lot on the glasshouse all year. It is a very big rip off for all New Zealanders to go out and buy from the supermarket, and many I know are living from the free food parcels.

@robleask476 Год назад

You mentioned before that NZ and Ireland have similar climates. NZ is quite a bit warmer, with longer summers. Surrounded by 0ceans we do have cool winters, but hardly ever any snow at ground level. If you put NZ in the same latitudes in the northern hemisphere, the bottom of the South Island would be near the south coast of England and Ireland, with the North Island around about Spain !

@GlenAndMado Год назад

Thats absolutely insane didn't realise it was that long! anyways yeah we definitely have accepted the fact that the weather is quite different now compared to Ireland. its currently winter here in NZ but to be honest it truly feels like summer here in the bay of plenty 😂 loving it because I was dreading another winter here. Ireland has a very damp cold during the winter and it hits your bones. but here get the shorts and t shirt out haha.

@theunknownunknowns5168 11 месяцев назад

Not sure if someone else has mentioned, but our salmon farms almost got wiped out by two marine heat waves in two years. That's why it's so expensive. Plus with added global events that cause inflation.

@jadeowenhamblyn4405 Год назад

Kicking off with buying tomatoes out of season (whaaaaaat), they're also horrible in winter... to be honest groceries have gotten SO expensive a lot of people we know have gone back to growing vegetables and bartering instead of buying. The supermarkets are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank at the expense of the average kiwi. In the region we live in there are a lot of local producers so we are very blessed, but the average urban consumer is getting screwed. Haven't been to the supermarket for two weeks. We also just buy whatever is on special, like a LOT of it, and pressure can it and store it for later. Seasonal eating is the way to go!

@GlenAndMado Год назад

yeah true that we still like to eat some things that are out of season.. not alot but the odd thing! very interesting fact and hopefully by people growing there own things it will cause deflation and bring the prices back down. we will definitely start to adjust our behaviours and try to get all the local grown goods at the markets.

@whika070 3 месяца назад

It’s cheaper to get fruit and veggies from a vegetable store. I work in a supermarket and prices can vary from store to store, but overall Pac’N’Save is around $1 cheaper on most stuff from other stores.

@GlenAndMado 3 месяца назад

thats very true, and we have noticed over the months that fruit and vegetable stores are a better option haha.

@MellezaHodge 6 месяцев назад

I'm from Canada, I went to live in New Zealand for a year and a half, I couldn't last 2 months. I was shocked when I saw all the prices. I caught the first flight back to Ontario. The salary and prices does not correspond in that country.

@GaryTuohy 11 месяцев назад

If you are in Wellington, you can go Moore Wilson’s. Great range of cheese in there.

@ellenjones9435 3 месяца назад

Prices have gone down, sometimes in PNS Hastings I have purchased tomatoes for 9 cents per kg in season. That was a few years ago.

Hi from Australia, have you ever tried Meredith Dairy cheese? 😳 It's from a farm 1.5 hours drive out of Melbourne, it is bloody...amazing 😳. You can get it at Woolworths so its probably at Countdown in NZ.

@jaket29 Год назад

I think it really depends on what you’ve grown up with. I really can’t stomach the cheese in Europe. Its often too rich for me. So its funny to hear that you don’t necessarily like the cheese here in NZ.

@GlenAndMado Год назад

very true! if someone doesn't try something really they won't know any different. But ture it is very rich even the feta cheese quality is very different to New Zealand.

@waimoboi 7 месяцев назад

Just remember some things are not always in season so they will be more expensive.

its sad to see such a crisis and fingers crossed it recovers faster then we think.

@truthmarsters 10 месяцев назад

most of all those brands are together with the supermarket, thats why you get a massive space of the same brands. Like pams is Paknsaves brand. Yes your right most of the food is for mass usage and production. All our premium food is shipped overseas.

@chrismckellar9350 10 месяцев назад

With a population of 5,2 million spread over an area the size of the UK, where the supply chains across the country is inefficient and everybody involved is clipping the 'for profit at least cost' financial ticket, food and most every day items are expensive. The other factor is the country imports most everyday items which are at the whims of global economic, manufacturing and supply chains uncertainties.

@cadifan Год назад

Yeah, last summer was trashed due to the hurricanes and floods that ravaged the crop growing areas and destroyed loads of produce. Prices have gone insane because of it. And unfortunately the top quality food we produce we never get to experience because that's the stuff that gets exported.

@GlenAndMado Год назад

yeah we have been told many times that all the good stuff gets exported which is really sad as high nutrient dense foods will keep you living longer. we just need to adapt and accept it for now. we came exactly after the horrible weather turmoil and now have to accept the price increases.

We're all getting skinny here in NZ due to the rising food prices and the general cost of living.. i mean look at the petrol prices.. it's $3 a liter and over $2 for diesel. There must be an agenda to bring in electric cars and depopulation.

@GlenAndMado Год назад

In fairness petrol is cheaper here then Ireland even with the hefty price increase lately! Before the government tax increase it was great for us 😂 but New Zealand is just mostly old cars so it will take a long time for the country to adapt to electric cars I think. The food is costing me though as I eat for 3 people so it ain’t easy on that part 😂

@rosselliot8971 8 месяцев назад

NZ is not cheap. Food. Power. Petrol. Rent. All expensive. It's got nothing to do with NZ's isolation. We have a large and expensive government, and regulations that make food, fuel and housing expensive. ' NZ used to be cheap but those days are gone. Two cars in the garage but nothing in the fridge, as Jasper Carrot used to say.

@mrpachino6014 10 месяцев назад

sadly a huge Australian supermarket chain Woolworth's has been working hard on driving up NZ food prices. Then came Jacinda Arderns hopeless leftie government that taxed everything to death and forced rents and food up further. Thats why kiwis are screaming for a third player Aldi to come to New Zealand. I try and shop Pak N Save as its kiwi owned and cheaper than Australian Woolworth's. I say bring Aldi to NZ asap.

@GlenAndMado 10 месяцев назад

Omg life would be complete if Aldi came to New Zealand!

@rlb3339 Год назад

Yes, prices are definitely expensive in NZ, even compared to here in Australia. Australia are very lucky to have Aldi, as we used to have a bit of a duopoly with Coles and Woolworths and prices were not competitive, before Aldi arrived. As NZ wages are around 20 - 50% lower than Australia, NZ consumers really would have to dig deep to afford the basics at their respective supermarkets. GST is also 15% on food in NZ. Really not good for the lower socioeconomic income earners but successive NZ Governments will fix this issue, with a sense of urgency 😂👍🏼 NZ Politicians, keeping the cost of living high for Kiwis, since 1979 😋 Also, why is Glen in shorts and a t-shirt in winter and in the supermarket where it’s usually cold AF 🥶

@GlenAndMado Год назад

shorts is the kiwi way just trying to blend in haha! lovely facts my friend, definitely excited to hit up Australia next year with the cheaper costs so I save a few quid! we miss Aldi and Lidl so much and we never knew it was in Australia! oh you made my day haha.

@rlb3339 Год назад

@@GlenAndMado Apparently Lidl was looking at coming to Australia but haven't hearing anything else about it since Covid. You will be shocked at the differences in prices, between the two countries. Don't get me started on the cost of fuel in NZ and cell/mobile phone plans. NZ is back in the dark ages :( Love my home country but just can't live there as I want a financially stable and higher standard of living, which Australia provides (in my experience). Keep up the awesome videos and thank you for being kind to NZ and giving it a go.

Perth isn't much different now,cheese is still cheaper, NZ has some of the best Cheese on the planet, unfortunately, the best is exported, seasonal fruit n vegetable growing doesn't help the prices. The North Island from mid way up,has the best soil,all volcanic with loads of minerals and good stuff needed to grow well. You'll find the good cheeses at the artisan markets.

@GlenAndMado Год назад

its hard to believe that they have the best cheese! have you tasted the cheese in france OMG haha. but your right we will consider buying the best cheese at the local markets from now on to give the taste a go :) also yeah were very aware of the amazing stuff that you can grow here in the bay of plenty with all that nutrient dense soil from the volcanos. still can't get over how amazing it is 😭
