Price Comparison – New Zealand Edition

Here’s a price comparison on similar goods from the US and New Zealand. I chose this array of items for their common, everyday nature. In some cases, I couldn’t find the exact same  product, so I went with what was closest. I tried to convert the metric amounts to whatever US unit we use as well. Hopefully I got everything correct. Math is not my strong suit.

*The US prices are based on a Ralph’s in San Diego, CA. Amounts may vary slightly depending on where you call home.

ESSENTIALS

Notes: They don’t sell cases of water bottles here. At least not in the New World (generic grocery store) that I was shopping in. Also, a Kiwi bread loaf is possibly a few slices less than what we’re used to in America.

Observations: Water is expensive here, apparently. Dang. Over a dollar more for 100 fluid ounces less. Bread is where it’s at though.

EXTRAS

Notes:  Their bottle of Coke are 9mL larger. Why?? I wear expensive ass deodorant because I sweat a lot and stuff. Amstel Light seemed to be the only basic, cheap 6er I could find.  It’s only 2.5% ABV too. Who knew?

Observations: I mean DAMN on the coffee front. NesCafe Classic seemed like a pretty basic tub of ground coffee to me. Did I goof somehow? Is it because Kiwis only care about tea? Not sure what’s going on there. The good news is that I’ll be saving a little bit when I re-up my deode. I’ll take what I can get.

Anything stand out to anybody? Feel free to leave a comment.
