Unsurprising! So I guess meat and dairy products are going to become astronomically expensive?

The one thing that I can’t find is a palatable alternative to cheese. Are there any yet?

    You don’t seem to be able to buy alternative milks in large volume. I think it’s fair to compare against the $1.87 per litre you pay if you buy a 3L countdown milk.

    Oat milk is what I’m most interested in, I generally don’t like the taste of soy, almond, or coconut even when they aren’t milk. I quite enjoy oat milk though (but I also like oats). You just have to go into it knowing it won’t taste like cow milk.

    However even at $4 a litre it’s still more than twice as much as the cow milk. You’re right though, not as much as I thought.

      The issue with Oat milk currently is that it’s grown here, shipped to Sweden where it’s processed into Oat Milk and then shipped back. Take that shipping out of the equation, and surely it will be a more reasonable price? Let’s hope this Oat Milk factory gets built soon!

        Yeah, we’ve discussed that before. Boring is the only one made in NZ. I’ve recently tried their barista coffee, and quite liked it in my coffee. But I would otherwise drink it black so maybe that’s a step backwards 😆
