New Zealanders are taking the drastic measure of ordering groceries for delivery from Australia, to avoid soaring food prices at their local stores.
Kiwi shoppers have been ordering food items like raw almonds, tins of spaghetti and pasta shells from their overseas neighbours' groceries stores, to be jetted over to them on international flights.
A woman from the city of Wellington, who didn’t want to be named, told the Guardian that she now regularly ordered groceries online from across the Tasman to supplement her local shopping.
