Fish and chip prices on the rise

The Kiwi classic fish and chip dinner may soon be out of reach for many low income families if the price of chips continues to increase.

Ingredient supplier Kaan’s — who supply many Dunedin stores with fries and oil — recently sent out a notification informing clients the cost of chips would rise to $43 per 15kg bag next month.
