How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
Generally good but pricey. You will need to hunt at several shops to find what you want. Our normal Saturday trip is no fewer than 4-5 shops and open market trips. Expect to pay a premium for western foods. You can find decent NZ or Oz brands, and on occasion, American branded foods. Diapers are costly and not the least bit environmentally-friendly. We brought cloth ones to make up for the guilt. Local produce and products are cheap and if you don't mind a carb and protein heavy diet, you will be okay. - Dec 2018
