It is a worry. On the news the other night they went shopping and bought the basics, milk, butter, bread and a couple of other items came too $27 if you calculate that by a family of six, the weekly grocery bill would cover only the basics for a lower income family.
Those are home grown products which New Zealand once took pride in the fact that all families were all able to afford, it isn't a certainty any more.

This is definitely a shocking state of affairs. I use to strongly support New Zealand Made products but how can you when they've priced themselves out of our league.
