minus-square@dfi@lemmy.nzlinkfedilink5•9 days agoThe Americans who moved to NZ before COVID and haven’t visited the US in awhile, may not appreciate how much prices have gone up there. Prices in NZ have gone up, but in % terms a lot of other countries prices have gone up more %wise. Other countries prices started lower then NZ prices but the pricing is now closer then it ever has been. Although I would prefer if everyone’s prices went down rather then all of us paying a Kings Ransom for groceries.
