Marriage Getaway

Maylyn Chai from FamilyLife NZ

Do you and your partner need a weekend away? Are you finding that you're just going through the motions, and that you're more like ships passing in the night than lovers and best friends? Simple conversations turn into major disagreements and no matter how hard you try you just can't seem to get on the same page.

This is the case for countless couples who come to our Weekend To Remember marriage getaway. And yet they leave connected, inspired and equipped to have the relationship they desire. We will give you the tools and the space to have meaningful conversations that truly are life changing. Not only will the intimacy in your relationship improve but you'll find a more satisfying relationship provides an environment for healthier parenting too. Spend a weekend with us and your kids (and future grandkids) will thank you for it!

Chicken Gizzards!

Sunita from Royal Oak

Kia ora Neighbours

I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).

I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.

If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.

Thank you!
