Electricity & Internet Providers

Maddy from Manurewa

Hi Neighbors!

My small family of three will be moving into our new house soon and we want to know what providers provide the best value for electricity and internet.

We have a 6-month-old and will be welcoming an au pair to join us so effectively there would be 4 of us. We saw that trustpower is offering a 24-month contract, and they will be including Samsung appliances in the bundle (very helpful since we haven’t bought anything!!), but we think it sounded too good to be true and we hate to experience internet or power outage!

Last thing we want is to have internet issues since I’m heading back to uni!!

Is anyone with Trustpower? Any other recommendations are welcome!! Appreciate any two cents worth :)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
