What's It About: Loyal at the till
WHAT'S IT ABOUT: LOYAL AT THE TILL
The Christmas Season is upon us and with it our wallets are open to buy pressies. But should we exclusively buy kiwi?
FACT: BUY NZ MADE?
Being patriotic at the till is great but it can also be a pain in
the ass and costly.
FACT: $68 vs. $24
Handmade Kiwi chocolate confections are much dearer than the
bargain-bin German ones sold at the Warehouse.
FACT: NO BATTERIES & LIGHT BULBS
And don't even bother looking for locally made essentials like
batteries and light bulbs. They're not made here.
FACT: TIGHTER LABOUR LAWS
Why? Because we have a higher minimum wage and stiffer labour laws
than, say, China. But imports aren't always cheaper and better.
Besides, what would you rather have in your Christmas
stocking?
