Cost of NZ products overseas. Will share these posts once in a while. We all know markets in NZ are not cheap. It disappointing that NZ wines cost twice the price in NZ vs overseas. Anyway...thought bored people in lockdown might have thoughts. Cheers all! Kia Kaha.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/auckland
Since some shortages are related to truck issues, now is a great time to learn to “support your local”. Haven’t seen any shortages at farmers markets.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages

I was out doing errands today and just did a quick run around the garden center. I know this isn’t an orchid but...I can’t tell you how angry it makes me when people dye orchids or worse...paint plants. What a horrible thing to do to a living being. Rant over.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/orchids
Has anyone else wondered if shortages are going to be an excuse to raise prices even if it isn’t warranted because the narrative is out there? I’ve watched the 4 package of croissants at Whole Foods incrementally go from 5.99 year ago to 8.00. It’s flour and water, bulk made and frozen. Justified?2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
IKEA worse than ever. I mean...their sales have got to be wayyyyy down. They just don’t have stuff to sell. Got tired of taking photos so just posting one. Extrapolate that to half the store.1yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
Still catches me by surprise to see prices like this. I remember these being about half the price pre pandemic. I don’t know that I’ll ever get used to it. $15 here we come!1yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
Sounds like a lot of people that have popped up in this sub the last three months. “It’s not me, it’s you”. Really got to wonder where the hard pushback against shortage reporting comes from.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
I don’t usually eat fast food so I need a frame of reference. $9.30 for a single burger and medium fries from Wendy’s seems like a lot. No? If I had gotten a large burger and drink I would have spent around $15? Family of 4 this meal costs $60 or more if you have hungry teens? Is this inflation?2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
Me: “You guys never have your salads anymore. “ Employee: “We don’t have anyone to make them. And the day or two we do, we don’t have the ingredients. SHORTAGES ARE REAL.”2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
Keep track of your masks. Stop using disposable ppe unless you’re a health professional. And cut the elastic on any your throw out. The mask trash is out of control. Protect birds, fish and other wildlife. This is worse than single use plastic bags.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/auckland
Epic golden sunburst. I’ll admit, the flowers in this one aren’t super showy. HOWEVER, if you like fragrant orchids this one smells like freesia. The sprays and red stems are also a nice feature.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/orchids

Aus has extended the term of housing loans to 35 years to make housing more affordable. (All home loans in Aus, NZ, UK are was US would call adjustable rate). Japan did this before their housing crash. They were called grandfather loans because the length of the loan extended to your grandkids.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages
Western US. Costco down to 10 packs of their house brand TP tonight and ZERO Charmin brand. Back to “Limit 1” signs. Also noticed that they shrunk what they put in packages. Top is the new square footage.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Shortages

I love finding interesting pots for my orchids. Anyone have good sources? Found some good ones at Anthropologie once in a while. Found this one at a florist. Especially would like a source for neofentia pot that isn’t insanely expensive. Cheers all.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/orchids
...And a 20 percent discount on overpriced stuff. Whole Foods used to be one of the 50 best employers for at least a decade. It was always a little weird there-I heard people voted on you like a high school popularity contest. Amazon has really changed things since the buy out though!2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/antiwork
FYI...if you’re down to your last 1.50 + tax you can get a foot long hot dog & soda at Costco even if you aren’t a member. Their food court is open to everyone. All caveats about health recognized. This tip for the broke and got nothing else people. Don’t judge them.1yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/Frugal

Tired of mask trash. 2 years into the pandemic. Vax available. Need to switch to no mask/no service and stop doling out disposable PPE. Bring/track/wash your own. Did we really move from plastic censure to end up here? The amount of masks you see at a place like Hendrys is heart breaking.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/SantaBarbara

Eyed this guy at Whole Foods earlier. Went back to buy but someone had broken it. Asked if they’d sell it at discount. Said no. They just bin them. What a mean world we live in that someone would rather kill something than let someone rehab it. Corporate psychos.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/orchids
Westerlay Orchids in California. If I’m not mistaken, this is where the gemstone orchids come from that we uhhh, tend to dislike strongly here. Enlarge picture and you can see them in far right of the greenhouse.2yr ⋅ Seekingaloha ⋅ r/orchids
