COST OF A HAM SANDWICH
It's a media beat-up - publicity given to someone in Aussie who went to a supermarket to get a ham sandwich and $A22.80 later came out with a loaf of bread, a packet of ham and a small block of cheese.
So in Australia if you believe in a good Aussie yarn through the media, it cost $A22.80 for a fairly plain old hammie sammy. Such is the rise in the cost of food and living world-wide.
Ok, so I live in Upper Hutt - three hours to the Wellington Airport and three hours from there to Sydney. But for $NZ1.85 per sandwich I can buy a unmade-up ham and cheese sandwich from a local supermarket if I spend $NZ7.40. A loaf of white bread cost $2, 100g of ham from the deli dept cost $2 and a packet of pre-sliced cheese cost $3.40. So four sandwiches later and most of a loaf of white sandwich bread still intact: just $1.85 each which I might add is considerably cheaper than buying a sandwich from a cafe or eatery.
Think I'll stay here a bit longer yet.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
