This was raised last week on talkback radio. Someone priced a shopping trolley of groceries both here and in NZ. All goods were made here. All products identical. Vegemite was one of those items.
The total was substantially more for the locally bought products, and they were both bought from Woolies (Coutdown?? there if menory serves).
The difference in currency values was also factored before anyone asks.
Now, all jokes aside, NZ is pretty similar to us. I know they earn less, but of course, things in general are also cheaper...
