Stats NZ tells us that food prices have jumped 4.6% since this time last year, with meat and dairy doing most of the damage. This jump is hitting us all, but groceries are just one part of the picture.
When basic costs keep climbing, the old cost-saving tricks — like bulk-buying or stockpiling on sale — don’t always work. Who can afford to spend more upfront when every dollar already has a job?
We want to know: What costs have caught you off guard the most? What are the expenses that feel impossible to juggle right now?

Our team consists of LBP, qualified and apprentices.
We have a digger/operator and access to truck for those landscaping jobs.
If your job is small, doesn’t require a licensed building practitioner or is something our apprentices can do - we are happy to price accordingly and still provide the same 10 year workmanship guarantee.
If you are looking for subbies (electrician, plumber, plasterer/painter etc) I am more than happy to recommend who we use and trust.
We are members of NZ Certified Builders, CBS Co-op, fully insured and full health and safety.
I’ve attached a link to our Facebook and website:
