Most Evil Supermarket - Take Your Pick

This week, The Warehouse Extra introduced a third supermarket option to New Zealanders for the first time in many years. Glossy brochures from Progressive flew into our letterbox and cosy duopoly prices flew out the window. But I won't be going to any Progressive stores; my resentment is too great at the ease with which they could match TWE's pricing (but curiously only at the Sylvia Park store).

I had barely come to terms with my fury at being overcharged all this time when Foodstuffs made their bid for The Warehouse. There was nowhere left to go but apoplexy over this news. Fortunately they failed to make a significant dent, not even reaching a position that would prevent a takeover by another company.

I guess Progressive will have to be subbed off and replaced by Foodstuffs in my boycott team.
