Chalmers declares worst of inflation battle 'well and truly behind us'
The butter we buy just went up another 27% this week…

So you place zero blame on price increases due to increased profit growth of companies in the supply chain, starting from the parent company of mainland (Fonterra)? Seems about right.

The operating profit was up 16 per cent, compared to last year
Nearly all my groceries and power bills have gone up about 30% over the last couple of years.
Who's steering the ship?
The butter you buy is from New Zealand. -

Why rising dairy prices are a double-edged sword
Soaring dairy prices revealed this week, particularly for butter, are a double-edge sword according to one senior economist.
Dairy prices were the main driver for food prices rising at their fastest pace in more than a year in the latest Stats NZ figures.
The food price index shot up 3.7 percent.
But within that figure, butter prices were up 65 percent, while milk was up 15 percent and cheese 24 percent.
The butter you buy is from New Zealand.
It's the only spreadable butter available at the supermarket.
@jv: From the article:
Olsen said he personally had friends looking for cheaper options like making butter at home.
@jv: They don't use a2 milk to make your chosen mainland butter, why would that be the price you use to compare?
(Also, you make butter from pure cream, of which your 2l milk from the supermarket fridge is not)
@jv: Save your money. Instead of $6.90 pay $3 oforordinary milk from Woolworths
"In 2009, the European Food Safety Authority reviewed the science and found no justification for claims about the health risks from BCM7. Food Standards Australia New Zealand is similarly sceptical about the evidence for the claims for A2 milk. With no substantial evidence to suggest that A2 milk is better for health than regular milk, you're better off basing your buying on taste and price."

@jv: If I see anybody from the article I will let them know.
Well at least I found out why this is expensive compared to other spreadable 'butters' - they have a mixture of canola oil. Also, why they don't taste as good as a slab of butter.
why they don't taste as good as a slab of butter.
That's why we've always bought the Mainland one.
Telstra phone plans just went up $5. It never used to be like this when I was a kid. Prices of things going up is nuts. Game consoles too, games, certain foods, rent. Things going up faster than they used to decades ago.
Thanks for ruining FTA
It's not FTA.
My subscription says $15 month until Oct 2025 then switching to $25.
I got a 6 month offer not that long ago.
I just re signed up CBA Yello $15/M for 12 months deal. I just cannot see myself paying that much for sports subscriptions
If you think either party will make a difference you're a fool.
Any bargains on SkyNews subscriptions? The echo chamber could be cheaper.
@epazero: Don’t think anyone can afford SkyNews anymore, Labor’s taxes will account for half our pay-checks soon enough!
cheer up. you've only got another 3 to 4 federal election cycles before the noalition may become relevant again.🤣
$40 by the end of next year I bet.
Most of the time you can’t (legally) get their content anywhere else. They can charge a motza, provide a god awful embarrassing app and people will keep paying.
Try getting an IPTV service will save you a few $
Damn, I’m paying $10 per month at the moment from a Commbank Yello deal. I paid $15 last year but same thing - started at $10 and they had a price rise so it became $15. I only watch the F1 and often on delay so if I wasn’t getting those deals, I’d be acquiring elsewhere!
Love the claims on here about this being "inflation" rather than the "free market". Kayo/Foxtel have monopoly rights in Oz on distribution of so much sports media. As such they can charge monopoly prices. Has very little to do with inflation and lots to do with what the market will pay when you have zero options.
This is turning into Cable TV era all I’ve again
Try the old Cancellation trick, they offered me $20 a month for 6 months to stay on when I went to do it a few weeks back. Good enough to get me through the F1 season.
I didn't know that was a thing until I was in the process of cancelling my $19 monthly Binge subscription.
They offered me a 50% discount for 6 months if I stayed.
At this point
Easier to sail the seas
I get it for F1, which is a shitshow on the seas. ‘Alternative’ streams aren’t up to scratch either. Same would go for a lot of sports that don’t get shared on the regular or just don’t get seeds.
instead of posting might as well comment here because it's the same topic and this is a whine.
when is this price raising going to stop? I know some comments say inflation something something but isn't it corpo greed? covid has been over for years now.
I swear nearly every tier for every sub has regular price raises now. if it's not a price raise, it's an email saying the price will stay the same but this and this is going to be removed (which is basically the same thing, also who knows maybe they are removing more than when it was cheaper, so worse value than price raise).
even worse is you can pay for a year, and they can change T&C whenever they want!
this is not just streaming subs btw, rewards subs, internet subs, phone plan subs it's everything.
