Glad to hear I am not the only one.<br /> I think unless you speak to the manger the staff have NO say in what happens.<br /><br /> Yes, Mary you read correctly. Just 2 supermarket chains in NZ.

The list you shared for best course of action makes great sense no matter where one lives. Personally I try to shop farm stands and outdoor markets spring through autumn, not possible in winter though.<br /><br />Did I read that right, there are only two supermarket chains in NZ? Wow, that's amazing.<br /><br />Hoping things improve - meanwhile perhaps it will give independent shops a boost in sales!<br /><br />Happy week dear Ali.<br />Mary <br /><br />P.S. Don't think I'd add the yellow thingys to my mushroom soup, LOL!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-3640048413411500982014-02-25T14:38:14.828+13:002014-02-25T14:38:14.828+13:00I too have started my reaction to the news you hav...I too have started my reaction to the news you have just related Ali. The other day couldn't get bagged flour that I used to always get, the shelves were stocked to the gunners with the 'Homebrand' flour. Have tried that product, inferior for my baking, won't use it. Made some strong comments to a staff member stating I'm now changing my shopping habits and shopping elsewhere. I noticed some months ago that we couldn't get products of the brand I wanted and made comments.I also hope N.Zer's react to these bullying tactics.Seeing all these different funghi's make me nervous.Shirleyshirley flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495983773538280099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-33604140171387326572014-02-23T22:06:55.582+13:002014-02-23T22:06:55.582+13:00those fungi look suspect to me!! lol x hope your p...those fungi look suspect to me!! lol x hope your plants are ok ... maybe they would make good compost xll supermarkets here have to state country of origin .. and some even name the farm they were grown on .. makes life interesting at times xDiane-crewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879911622708138774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-74590984167864080472014-02-23T17:38:30.242+13:002014-02-23T17:38:30.242+13:00Our shops are required to label the country of ori...Our shops are required to label the country of origin of fresh produce - if they don't, I won't buy it. I get nearly all my fresh fruit and vegies from a local fruit retailer; even though they aren't always locally grown because of the climate his stock is always fresh. What interesting fungi! We've had mushies popping up in the last few days where they haven't grown since we have been living here.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461697058136548513noreply@blogger.com
