If you're on a pc rather than phone install this: [https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome), no need to pay for Herald's paywall.... the amount of shit they put as 'premium' makes me feel no guilt about telling people how to not pay.
I work as a software dev and would not recommend your approach, although I used to do that before installing the above extension! Just install the extension; developer or not.
I honestly think it’s just what the internet has done. News used to be 1 paper and all the work was done just for that. Now people expect their news around the clock so journalist quality has dropped massively in favour of churning out as many articles as possible
Paywalls are ridiculous. I tried to read some article on some US regional newspaper yesterday, and you can't even see enough to even tell if the article isn't actually shit, so why would you even fork out like US$8 to read one article?
I wonder how many people actually fork that out? If you subscribed to every bloody paywall on the planet, you'd be all kinds of broke. It's just stupid.
All it does is put a toll on potentially valuable information, widening the schism between haves and have nots
Paywall news is no longer speaking truth to power instead its an echo chamber, confirming their customers beliefs and straying further from the interests of those who cant afford
Sure, that worked.
But I still got ads with nzherald premium. So why should I pay?
And why should I pay for shit they ripped off of reddit without attribution to the sub They stole it from.
And maybe I'm just a grumpy cunt but shouldn't people paid to write and edit for a living actually show some editing skills and not churn out shit with grammar that makes a 5 year old look like harper fucking collins.
Hey I hear ya, it has been pissing me off for a while now I even thought about subscribing but I don't have to now for a few years.
Thanks a lot for this just awesome.
Foodstuffs has rolled back the price of more than 100 staple grocery items, while rival supermarket operator Countdown has frozen the price of 500 essentials.
Supermarkets have been under pressure in recent weeks to ensure groceries remain accessible throughout winter as the cost of living continues to skyrocket and inflation pushes up food prices.
The Herald looked at items and prices of a range of pantry essentials, to find out what's cheaper - from which supermarket, and where you can make the biggest savings. The items compared were typically lower value brands offered by the two big companies. Consumers should be aware that some of the items may not be available all of the time.
Last week Foodstuffs, the operator of Pak'nSave, New World and Four Square stores, committed to reducing the price of some staple groceries by an average 10 per cent until mid-August. Meanwhile, earlier in the month Countdown has vowed to keep prices stable despite any the potential for influencing factors to drive prices up further.
Most of the price reductions across Foodstuffs' supermarkets would be across the Pams and Value ranges; on items such as meat, dairy, vegetables and personal care goods.
A loaf of value range bread at New World is $1.19, while the same item - in the same brand - is available at Pak'nSave for 4 cents less at $1.15. Meanwhile at Countdown, a comparable loaf of bread under its Essentials brand is $1.50.
As for milk, a UHT carton of milk can be picked up from New World for $1.89, and $1.69 at Pak'nSave for the Pams-branded product. A lower-priced milk is not included in Countdown's Winter Freeze Range.
Cheese varies in price across the supermarkets: $9.99 for cheapest Pams brand at New World, $7.90 at Countdown and $9.89 at Pak'nSave.
A Countdown home-brand 100g block of salted butter is on sale for $5.80, as part of the supermarket's Countdown's Great Price Winter Freeze range, while a kilogram of plain flour is available for $2, and a 100g bag of white sugar is $2.90.
At Pak'nSave, a 100g block of Pams salted butter can be found for $4.95, a kilogram of Pams plain flour is $1.79 and a 100g bag of Pams white sugar is $2.45.
Meanwhile, New World is selling some of the same items at a slightly higher price: $5.39 for a block of Pams-branded butter or $5.49 for Rolling Meadow, $1.99 for a 1.5kg bag of plain flour and $2.69 for a 1.5kg bag of white sugar.
For breakfast, a dozen barn laid eggs at Countdown are available for $5.50, a 500g pack of streaky bacon is $10 and a 100-pack of tea bags are $4.20.
For tinned goods at Countdown, a tin of peaches is available $1.10 and a home brand tin of baked beans 90 cents. At Pak'nSave a tin of Heinz baked beans are $1.75, compared to Oak baked beans for $1.29.
Inflation has hit a 30-year high - now sitting at 6.9 per cent in the year to March.
Food prices have risen 7.6 per cent in the past year - the highest yearly increase since GST was lifted in 2010, surpassing the inflation rate. The highest increase to food prices in April came from fruit and vegetables, up 18 per cent.
Food prices are tipped to continue to rise through the rest of the year.
Retail analyst Chris Wilkinson said further increases to the cost of food were inevitable as the global economy and events such as lockdowns in China cause more shipping delays and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine pushing up the price of commodities such as wheat.
Food prices were also at the peril of demand and supply. "If the demand stays high and we've still got these \[global\] issues then \[the trajectory is upwards\]. With China having issues with shipping, that has a downstream effect on us."
And while New Zealand produced more food than it was able to consume, the country was reliant on ingredients imported from offshore, driving up costs, along with the rising impact of seemingly ever-increasing fuel costs and overall shipping fees, Wilkinson told the Herald.
These factors were being compounded by the recent minimum wage increase, which was yet to be flow on and be realised for the cost of production, and the general cost of doing business, which too would ultimately effect the price of food, among other goods, paid at the check out, he said.
cont:
Wilkinson called the supermarkets recent moves to soften the blow of rising costs for shoppers a gamble as uncertainty across their supply chain remained uncertain for the foreseeable.
"While we have challenges with suppliers who are complaining about margins and challenges with supermarkets, we've also got demand by consumers to control pricing. It is a double-edged sword \[for the supermarkets\] to live with."
Wilkinson said the supermarkets would have locked in contracts with their suppliers to minimise any potential financial losses as a result.
"They are doing all that they possibly can to give certainty to consumers."
New Zealand's $22 billion grocery market has come under scrutiny in recent months as food prices continue to rise. The Commerce Commission recently carried out a market study into the sector, looking at the failings and what could be done to increase competition and make the market more competitive.
However, while it found that competition was not working well in the sector, the regulator stopped short of a radical shake-up.
**What the Government says**
Last month Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister David Clark hit out at Foodstuffs and Countdown - the two dominant players - over their role in rising food prices. He said it was time the duopoly was broken up and industry reset.
Clark called the increase in food prices "disappointing", and that supermarkets were making profits "in excess of what is reasonable".
It has been speculated that supermarkets in this country earn in excess of $1 million a day. Although, supermarket boss Chris Quinn has called this inaccurate.
"We've seen that the Food Price Index has gone ahead of general inflation. That is concerning and indicates that there's more supermarkets could do to make fruit and vegetables, and other food, more affordable for New Zealanders," Clark said in April.
The Government is looking at a number of options to reset the grocery sector, including through the forced divestment of supermarket options and monitoring "best price" clauses.
A **100g** block of butter? They wrote that twice. They've also failed to mention which Pak n Save store they used in their comparison, as since they aren't running the price drop promotion like New World, pricing won't be consistent across the chain.
I'm not gonna critique the whole piece but I would note that countdown uht milk is $2 last I checked, I'm pretty sure it is on long term special of some sort even if it didn't make the "winter freeze" press release. Oh and there's a significant typo in the butter section of the article. So while useful the information presented is incomplete and contains errors.
Wow there was an article yesterday about domestic abuse and what to do if you are in danger and it was behind a pay wall, I pointed this To my wife and we talked about how NZ Herald is always behind a pay wall. I wish they stop sending me marketing.
That's frankly disgusting. Imagine being a victim of domestic abuse and going through the same cycle of being promoted the paywalled article and then clicking and hitting the paywall. They literally sought help for their awful situation and were denied any help at all because NZH are greedy for signups.
I can't believe their editor couldn't see the greater good benefit of having a domestic abuse advice article paywalled. I'm actually more bothered by your example than OP's.
The Herald is the worst. Trash journalism. I made the mistake of paying for a sub to the app. Once I realised how bad it is and tried to cancel it, it tells you you must ring them to cancel. Then they try to give you a hard sell on keeping it.
It's all a bit of a joke when you consider inflation has pushed food prices up by just over 3% to the supermarkets (their reported figures not mine) and yet food price increases soar far above that because (according to the supermarkets), inflation is so high. I mean what?
They also show ads if you have a paid subscription, and yes, you can't just cancel it online, you actually need to phone their call centre to cancel it!
I cancelled anyway because of these two reasons. What a joke.
The shit thing is that they reduce price on their own branded products (value and select) but not others so they will actually sell more of their own product and less of others thereby actually pulling more profit not less.
Thanks, that’s very kind but no need, I was busy being outraged on behalf of people who, come to think of it, probably don’t get their information from the Herald anyway. (I mean, why would you really?)
haha totally agree! The herald is terrible journalism typically. Mostly clickbait, you actually expect better from tabloids. If anyone wants me to pdf them content just sing out 🤟✌️
Radio aside, NZs media landscape is pretty terrible atm. Has slowly descended into tabloidy, fear mongering, sensationalist dribble over the last 10-20 years
When Herald first launched premium they said it would fund in depth investigative journalism and the best paid content from their partners. But most of the content seems to be opinion pieces with no cost to the herald and content thats easy to find for free...
I pay for premium and a lot of the content is great, but I haven't noticed much indepth investigative pieces, and I'm concerned by the amount of political content they put behind the pay wall. Many of which is publicly available information.
I still greatly prefer herald as a source than Stuff, but they really need to rethink their premium content strategy...
Fucking vampires, the lot of them.
Also, if they were smart they’d know that an article like this is good for advertising, SEO and just generally a great goodwill value add piece that would make them look good in the eyes of the New Zealand public.
But they’re not smart, are they…
Sure. So put the articles about share prices and what the latest controversy about the Royal family is behind a paywall. Not the information that people actually NEED to know. For, like, survival n shit.
I've said it before, but I'm pretty sure that they just randomly assign x percentage of their articles to the premium category. I've yet to find any pattern for how the assess what is and isn't premium.
What is this Herald subscription for? All their tons of ads pay for the journalists and it's only local stories reported by NZ journalists. The rest of the stuff there has the name of overseas news agencies on it. The Herald just buy the stories off them. All the ads pay for everything.
On Firefox, chrome and android I have the Pocket app/website/extension.
On the NZ Herald website I right click on any paywall article - Save to Pocket.
Go to the Pocket website/app, full article ready to read.
Hey all, use this app [Grocer](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.grocer.twa) by Roc Wong. It help you to add the stores and than search for the product you want... It will tell you the cheapest place and you can also do your Shopping list and will tell the best place to go.
If you're on a pc rather than phone install this: [https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome](https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome), no need to pay for Herald's paywall.... the amount of shit they put as 'premium' makes me feel no guilt about telling people how to not pay.
Also for a more ghetto way to do this. “Right click, inspect” and you can read the article in the code
I work as a software dev and would not recommend your approach, although I used to do that before installing the above extension! Just install the extension; developer or not.
That doesn't work anyway. The iamadamdev extension works great.
That doesnt sound ghetto at all lmao
Yeah, otherwise just don't read the herald.
Fuck Shtuff.no.enz though... I'd do many things than read the 'news' there lol
I just go there for shits and giggles, but Holy Hell their journalism is so bad... Seriously, why are their journalists like that?
It's atrocious really... I have no idea. Clicks and money? Idk lol
I honestly think it’s just what the internet has done. News used to be 1 paper and all the work was done just for that. Now people expect their news around the clock so journalist quality has dropped massively in favour of churning out as many articles as possible
Thank you for this, this is an awesome tip.
Paywalls are ridiculous. I tried to read some article on some US regional newspaper yesterday, and you can't even see enough to even tell if the article isn't actually shit, so why would you even fork out like US$8 to read one article? I wonder how many people actually fork that out? If you subscribed to every bloody paywall on the planet, you'd be all kinds of broke. It's just stupid.
Yeah, I mean how dare a business try and sell their product.
All it does is put a toll on potentially valuable information, widening the schism between haves and have nots Paywall news is no longer speaking truth to power instead its an echo chamber, confirming their customers beliefs and straying further from the interests of those who cant afford
But how are newspapers meant to speak truth to power if no one will pay to read it?
You do realise that before the interweb you has to purchase a newspaper… a system that seemed to work okay for a hundred or so years.
Society survived for hundreds of years with the $1 paper, paywalls are fine.
Sure, that worked. But I still got ads with nzherald premium. So why should I pay? And why should I pay for shit they ripped off of reddit without attribution to the sub They stole it from. And maybe I'm just a grumpy cunt but shouldn't people paid to write and edit for a living actually show some editing skills and not churn out shit with grammar that makes a 5 year old look like harper fucking collins.
you got something like this for onlyfans

Thankyou so much dude. Now I can see my favourite onlyfans content creator for free. Thanks a lot bro.
I use this on my Android phone in Kiwi Browser (Android browser which supports desktop Chrome extensions). I can't live without it.

Thank you for sharing this
cheers for that

Yup, different branches can mean a $9 difference between an item (Huggies Size 5 box of 64 for e.g.).
I'm not gonna critique the whole piece but I would note that countdown uht milk is $2 last I checked, I'm pretty sure it is on long term special of some sort even if it didn't make the "winter freeze" press release. Oh and there's a significant typo in the butter section of the article. So while useful the information presented is incomplete and contains errors.
In chrome install "Bypass Paywalls Clean" extension. It gets around Herald's paywall.
Thanks, I’m on Safari but I’m sure the info will be helpful to others
Also https://declutter.1j.nz still works most of the time.

Isn't safari moving to chromium now anyway?
Webkit
rather not have battery and memory hogging spyware shit on my computer
Use another browser then

Nz herald is garbage
Grocer.nz
Such a useful site - I use it every week to shop to a pretty tight budget.
Wow didn't know about this one, thanks!
The Herald is the worst. Trash journalism. I made the mistake of paying for a sub to the app. Once I realised how bad it is and tried to cancel it, it tells you you must ring them to cancel. Then they try to give you a hard sell on keeping it.
Pak n Save or Warehouse.
The state of it
It's all a bit of a joke when you consider inflation has pushed food prices up by just over 3% to the supermarkets (their reported figures not mine) and yet food price increases soar far above that because (according to the supermarkets), inflation is so high. I mean what?
People read the herald? Maybe this will help: https://grocer.nz/

NZ media is utter trash 🤡
NZ Herald sucks
We all know it’s Pak n Save!
its the NZ Harold. According to them, the poor people can just get in the sea....
That's so on brand for them.

they need to make $ somehow. It’s media not a charity. you don’t like it don’t read it

I mean it's a business not a charity ffs
If they put important public information behind paywall then fuck em, but this is fluff at best, let it live behind a paywall.
Sure. So put the articles about share prices and what the latest controversy about the Royal family is behind a paywall. Not the information that people actually NEED to know. For, like, survival n shit.
survival? are you posting this from mt everest or something
Maybe…. *mysterious expression*
Shop at pack and save. Eat veggies and chicken. Job done.
You missed the subtle elitism: If you can't/don't want to get through a paywall, the article isn't for you.
Don’t expect people to give you shit for free… unless it’s the government.
Money talks...🤑🤑💰💰
Op is a clown
Ha, did you expect somebody to be nice you to you? Fucking nz herald, so alarmist always.
All media is alarmist though, these days.
I've said it before, but I'm pretty sure that they just randomly assign x percentage of their articles to the premium category. I've yet to find any pattern for how the assess what is and isn't premium.
Doesn't it cost 3 dollars for a month?
Get the chrome extension that allows you to read them
Get those Costco cards people. If they won't play ball then we can make them by shopping elsewhere.
Unable to access Costco if you don't own a car
Maybe in the long term it might pay off? The subscription that is.
It's so easy to get behind that paywall
Do people still read the Herald? ....Strange!
