Merry Christmas - Now empty your pockets
A warning to supermarket shoppers. Supermarket prices for fresh fruit & vegetables have just sky rocketed. Even more I think than in previous years. We all know this happens at Christmas time so be very wary when you enter the doors. Also for those that shop at Pak N Save Wairau Road be further wary they are chalking all vehicles in their car park. When I was there earlier this morning the premises were not over patronised but to find a small trolley was well nigh impossible. It appears the supermarket is using these for storing stacking etc. They got a quantity of new ones not so long ago but the situation for shoppers has not improved. Have a happy holiday.
