Can someone explain this to me?

When so many jobs have vanished, but a cheap-arse supermarket fridge pie (ie a cheap pie in a wrapper which is cold in the fridge, and you cant take outside and eat after you buy it, but have to take home to cook there or freeze or whatever) is now over $6 (as of countdown the palms today).

When will this hit an unsustainable level? Why are prices going up when no one has any money?

Is it just NZ that seems to be one giant shit show since late 23?

Yup, this is a bit of a vent, apologies, but is also an honest reflection of the prices of food and the employment situation in NZ right now. I am just not sure how logically, the two are coexisting?
