Yesterday I purchased a 2kg Persil Ultimate soap powder from Paraparaumu Pak’n’Save for $11.99 on special.
The exact same product (not on special) from New World in Waikanae is selling for $19.09
A difference of $7.10 is a hell of a lot more if you aren’t able to shop around for specials. … View moreYesterday I purchased a 2kg Persil Ultimate soap powder from Paraparaumu Pak’n’Save for $11.99 on special.

A difference of $7.10 is a hell of a lot more if you aren’t able to shop around for specials. Just shows you the mark up on products if the product can be sold for the special price and the store is still making a profit.

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)
We hope this news brings a smile!

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.
