Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? β
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weβve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itβs a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets βοΈ
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? π₯¦π±π₯
Whether itβs a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donβt let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? π«
