Hi neighbours,

You won't be able to find plastic straws in Countdown stores from October 1 - they're off the shelves! To read more, click here.

Countdown is removing them from all stores and replacing them with a range of alternatives including bamboo, metal and paper straws.

The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.

Do you think other NZ supermarkets should follow suit?

If the warranty has ended, it doesn't mean your rights have!

Sacha Green from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand

When you buy goods you have rights that protect you even if the warranty has expired. A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has … View moreWhen you buy goods you have rights that protect you even if the warranty has expired. A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has ended.

The CGA says that products have to be of an acceptable quality which means they must be fit for purpose (or do what they're made to do), last for a reasonable amount of time, be safe, and be free from any minor defects. What is “acceptable quality” is based on what you could reasonably expect taking into account things like the nature of the goods, what you paid for them, and any particular statements made about the goods.

If you have a problem with something you’ve bought and the warranty period has ended, you might still be entitled to have it repaired or replaced. Check out our information on your rights as a consumer or phone CAB on 0800 367 222.

a shot in the dark - for a new home

Kia Ora, so we are looking for a new home 2-3 bedrooms in areas of Ohauiti, Pyes Pa, Gate Pa, Greerton, Oropi and the like. My husband works in the Kiwi industry so we need to be in good reach of the orchards of Pyes Pa. I am working on setting up my own business so I can be anywhere.

Kia Ora, so we are looking for a new home 2-3 bedrooms in areas of Ohauiti, Pyes Pa, Gate Pa, Greerton, Oropi and the like. My husband works in the Kiwi industry so we need to be in good reach of the orchards of Pyes Pa. I am working on setting up my own business so I can be anywhere.

Is it completely unheard of to get rent of $350 these days in Tauranga?

We seek a cosy place that we can care for as our home, long term if need be. We love to grow our own veggies, so we do like a little/big patch of green. We don't smoke, nor drink though we love to bake, cook, share & eat! So if a kindly landlord or lady is out there looking for a respectable pair to care for your home as their home then we could be them.

Thanks to whoever reads.
Brilliant day to you,
Best wishes, Keira
