Revealed: How Much Supermarket Prices Have Gone Up Since 2022
Article – RNZ Over the last three years, Checkpoint has been tracking a weekly shop from the same suburb at a Woolworths and PAK'nSAVE supermarket. Louise Ternouth , Checkpoint reporter Checkpoint Whether it is a block of butter or cheese, a kilogram of mince, a dozen eggs or a cooked chook, food prices have gone up rapidly. The latest Stats NZ figures show in the past 12 months food prices have gone up 4.4 percent – the highest increase since December 2023. Over the last three years Checkpoint has been tracking a weekly shop from the same suburb at a Woolworths and PAK'nSAVE supermarket to see just how much things have gone up at the checkout. Some of the results are more eye watering than mouthwatering. For over three years, Checkpoint has been tracking the cost of 36 items likely to be in a household's trolley. In May 2022, our first shop at Woolworths Greenlane cost us $238 dollars and $217 at PAK'nSAVE Royal Oak. Today, those same items at Woolworths have shot up to $305 dollars – an extra $67 dollars at the checkout. PAK'nSAVE our shop, now set us back $270, an extra $53 dollars. Compared to our 2022 shop, seasonal vegetables like carrots and cabbage were cheaper. Other items that had come down slightly or stayed the same were Watties baked beans, plain flour, Mightyfresh wheatmeal toast bread and diced tomatoes. But they were mostly exceptions, most of the items on the shopping list cost more. Some shoppers told Checkpoint they have noticed an increase on some items in particular. 'Olive oil is really expensive and eggs,' said one shopper. 'Dairy items I've noticed but even just general fresh fruit and vege.' Others said meat was on the list. Unsurprisingly, dairy had one of the biggest jumps. At both supermarkets you still could not get a 1kg block of cheese for $10 or less. Though 1kg is now $1 dollar cheaper at Woolworths for $12.49. At PAK'nSAVE a 1kg block stayed much the same at $11.89. Two litres of standard blue top milk were sitting at just under $5 at both supermarkets. In 2022, a 500g block of Woolworths branded butter cost $5.80, now a whopping $8.50. At PAK'nSAVE it was a similar story, in 2022 it was $5.70 for a Pams 500g block, now $8.30. One shopper said their family uses a lot of butter and they were feeling the pinch, 'It's been absolutely ridiculous it's almost $10.' Others said they bought butter in bulk from Costco to save money 'to buy cheaper New Zealand butter in bulk and freeze it rather than buying at the supermarkets.' A 50 box of Twinning's Earl Grey tea more than doubled in price at PAK'nSAVE to $7.89. As for a dozen barn eggs, those more than doubled at PAK'nSAVE to $9.59 and $9.50 at Woolworths. The humble beef mince now not so humble at 1kg used to cost $11.99 at PAK'n SAVE, now $18.99. At Countdown, it was up from $14.90 in 2022 to $23.80 now. For some, it is now a luxury among other items they are going without. 'Probably meat products and dairy,' said one shopper. Others were also leaving those products on the shelves and opting for a butter 'blend' and no brand versions. One man said snacks were off the shopping list. 'Snack bars and extra things you'd put into kids lunches.' One woman said she had left her broccoli and cauliflower out of the shop. Washing and toiletry products also came out far more expensive. Four kilograms of Persil sensitive washing powder was $22 at both supermarkets in 2022, now an extra $13 at Woolworths and $6.50 more at PAK'nSAVE. Huggies size 3 nappies were an extra $10 at PAK'nSAVE and a litre of Palmolive body wash was an extra $5 at Woolworths. For those advising to stock up on staples or frozen to cut costs, rice, noodles, sugar and frozen vegetables – all more expensive.

Some Kiwis considering ditching insurance due to rising costs
Photo: 123rf Some people are considering taking the gamble to ditch insurance as prices continue to rise. Stats NZ figures show at March last year house insurance was up almost 25 percent, contents insurance up about 28 percent and car insurance up almost 23 percent compared to the previous year. A leading economist told Checkpoint the country is still in a cost of living crisis and it could take months to get out of that hole, with inflation going up. According to Stats NZ in the past year food prices have gone up 4.4 percent, the biggest jump since December 2023. New figures from Centrix show almost half a million people are behind on debt repayments, with nearly 22,000 in mortgage arrears. Company liquidations have also risen 27 percent year-on-year. Checkpoint spoke to three women all considering altering their insurance to keep costs down. Jan said it is impossible to ignore the price of insurance as it continues to rise. "It goes up every year, no matter what. It's nothing to do with you claiming and losing, your no claims bonuses, and you don't have to research much to find that it's rising like five or six times faster than our incomes are." The price of her housing and content bundle has increased twice over the past two years. "[It] went up $50 a month two years ago, and then it went up $50 a month last year again." For Jan, the increase doesn't go unnoticed. "It's pretty tough. It's like if I add up my insurance and my health insurance and my rates. It's about 25 percent, 30 percent of my income just for those three things." "My husband passed away in December, so he was a high-income earner. So now it's a big change for me to be on an average income on my own. Rates and insurance are the same and the same outgoings, regardless of circumstances, aren't they?" She is now also considering the value of her health insurance. "It will go up as you age, so you have to relook at it each year." Joan has also noticed the cost of her insurance skyrocketing, something she called "insane". "The price has gone up substantially. We've got several insurance with the same company and we pay monthly and I used to pay about $440 a month. So it's up to about $660 a month now. So that's insurance on the properties, insurance on vehicles. Just everything in the packet." She is now looking at other ways the cost of her insurance could be brought down. "I am going to get all the policies out. I'm gonna have a look at them all. See if we put the excess up so that might bring the policy down, possibly get rid of one or two, I don't know." Like Jan and Joan, a tough economy is also leading Babette to consider the worth of her insurance plans. "Insurance costs have skyrocketed. Quite a few people have are not taking content insurance because they can't afford it. I'm mulling over that at the moment for the number of times that I that I have not claimed on insurance, not that I've needed to. I think the costs are very high." She has already been taking measures to lower the cost, but thinks she may have to do more. "To get my insurance rates down, I have raised the excess on my house and contents and car. So that you know I could get the premium down, but I'm not too sure how I'm going to be faced when my next insurance policy falls due."
