Reduced To Clear is now open in Pukekohe down by Super liquor and the mad butcher on Stadium Drive.
Reduced to Clear can offer such good prices in many cases from 50-80% off normal recommended retail price due to the stock being either short-dated, end of packing lines, cancelled export orders, packing misprints plus loads of imported lines but we also have a range of our own everyday lines too.
Reduced to Clear staff are ready to offer Pukekohe customers some amazing clearance deals from our new store in Stadium drive opposite the Z store.

Thank you so much to the community members that have supported us so far by purchasing a ticket in our fabulous Mothers Day Raffle. There is now less than two days to wait until you find out if you will be one of our lucky winners. We're all off to the local Fire Station on Thursday morning so our tamariki can enjoy the fire trucks, and one of our amazing firefighters can carry out the draw.
So if you haven't already got a ticket, this really is your last chance. To be in the draw we need any online funds to be cleared in our account by tomorrow night. But for those in Waiuku, we will be in the Town Square tomorrow between 11am and 1pm if you want to pop by and pay cash, or just come and say hi. You'll find us by the big yellow flag. Tickets are just $5 each or 3 for $10.
You'll be supporting a good cause. All funds are going towards assisting us to build a safe new fence for our Tamariki.

Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase. Please help us if you are able to help our young people on the cold nights that we are about to have. We would like to get the pyjamas out as soon as is possible. Many thanks to those who have already supported this project
In May last year, the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate was introduced in north Auckland to fund high-priority local transport options, including bus routes, footpaths and park and ride facilities.

The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has already seen three new bus services to connect residents to the rest of the city. The RTTR is the first targeted transport rate within the Auckland region.
We'd like to know if you think your area would benefit from a targeted transport rate to kick-start local projects. Vote in our poll below and let us know in the comments.
