It's been revealed that a typical grocery shop in Auckland is twice as expensive right now than it is in London.
New Zealand food prices this week came under scrutiny after a photo posted on the Kiwis in Aussie Facebook page showed kumara cost nearly 11 times more here.

Focus reporter Brigitte Purcell carried out a supermarket shop in London, while Focus reporter Carla Penman took that same list to an Auckland supermarket.
Warning: Results may startle some New Zealanders.
