Tremendous Savings.
Nothing better on a cold winters night than sitting in a nice cosy room reading a magazine. In these trying times when money is tight and magazines are so expensive, as a neighbourhood convenor do what we do. Place an off cut from a plastic drain pipe,or similar( many plumbers only too pleased to giveaway rather than throw in the skip.) Fix the pipe to the top of you and your neighbours boundry and their neighbours boundry and so on . Converse with them and see if they will swap magazines. I get the Womans Day ,
. Other neighbours get the New Idea, fishing magazine, Womens Weekly, gardening and even the Ch-Ch press just to mention a few.
When finished reading your magazine you place it in you neighbours tube for them to read and then they pass it on.
Surprising how many different magazine you get weekly.We pay $7.00 approx for the Womans Day and most weeks recieve anything up to $30.00 value in return. Being a pensioner this a fantastic saving. We also put veges such as carrots parsnips celery in the tube plus recipies etc.
We also place a small flag available from a $2 shop on the side of the tube which when up indicates to your neighbour there is something there. Saves going to the letter box more so if you have a long drive or are handicapped in anyway.
Try it.Lots of happy reading and savings are great.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
