Denim, but make it one-of-a-kind ๐Ÿ’™

The Team from SPCA Auckland - Centres & Op Shops

Not every pair of jeans makes it to the rack... but that doesnโ€™t mean their story ends there. Our talented volunteer Annie has been transforming damaged denim into handcrafted bags, hats and aprons in our Onehunga SPCA Op Shop โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿงต

This latest batch even features her own hand-sewn designs, and customers have been loving them, they sell almost as soon as they hit the shelf!

Itโ€™s creativity, sustainability and community all stitched together, helping animals in need ๐Ÿพ

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? โ˜•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weโ€™ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itโ€™s 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 โš–๏ธ

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?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? ๐Ÿฅฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether itโ€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโ€™t 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? ๐Ÿซ
