There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Councillor Sharon Stewart, chair of Auckland Councilβs Civil Defence and Emergency Management Committee says she encourages Aucklanders to embrace this opportunity to practice for a real earthquake.
βI urge all Aucklanders to join in with the rest of Aotearoa and take part in ShakeOut.
βEven though the risk of a major shake in the Auckland region is small, it pays to be familiar with what to do if you are caught up in a real earthquake or tsunami.
βShakeOut day is also a great opportunity to for Aucklanders to think about their preparedness for a natural disaster β including having a household emergency plan.
βItβs also an opportunity to talk to family and friends about what to do in an emergency and how to stay informed.β
What you need to know about ShakeOut
==================================
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is encouraging all households, schools, and organisations to officially sign up for ShakeOut. When you sign up, youβll have the option of going into a draw to win a prize.
================================================
ShakeOut will take place on Thursday 24 October at 9.30am
================================================
It is a self-run earthquake and tsunami drill. An Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) will not be sent out
You can start the drill in whatever way works for you. All you need to do is Drop, Cover and Hold for 60 seconds and practice your evacuation if you are in a tsunami evacuation zone by walking to high ground or inland by foot or bike
There are resources you can use to encourage your friends, family and colleagues to practice earthquake and tsunami drills. Download posters, factsheets and more here.
All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and tsunami. Practicing your tsunami hΔ«koi is an easy way for you and those around you to learn the right actions to take.
Before the ShakeOut drill
====================
Know your tsunami evacuation zone in Auckland. Make plans for a tsunami hΔ«koi if you are in a coastal area. See the national Tsunami Evacuation Map to find tsunami evacuation zones in other regions.
Remind yourself and others what to do in an earthquake or tsunami. Download and share Drop, Cover and Hold or Long or Strong: Get Gone posters.
Drop, Cover, Hold
==============
In an earthquake, Drop, Cover, Hold. It stops you being knocked over, makes you a smaller target for falling and flying objects, and protects your head, neck and vital organs.
DROP down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
COVER your head and neck (or your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you).
If there is no shelter nearby then cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
If there is no shelter near you, crawl to an inside corner of the room and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.
Do not run outside or stand in a doorway. Many people are injured while trying to move during the shaking.
It is safer to Drop, Cover, and Hold until the shaking is over.
If you use a walker or a wheelchair
If you use a walker or wheelchair, Lock, Cover and Hold.
Lock your wheels and get as low as possible.
Bend over and cover your head and neck as best you can.
Then hold on until the shaking stops.
Long or Strong: Get Gone
Earthquakes can generate tsunami.
It is important to recognise the natural warning signs of a tsunami and remember, if an earthquake is Long or Strong: Get Gone.

Hereβs a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
πΈIf it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
πΈIf itβs being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they canβt provide it, thatβs a red flag.
πΈCheck the sellerβs profile, is it new or relatively blank?
πΈIf you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebodyβs home, take someone with you and let someone else know where youβre going and when.
πΈBe especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.
Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, youβre aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

… View moreToday, we're delving into the exciting world of snoozing and discussing a topic near and dear to our hearts: investing in better sleep.
We all know that catching those Zzz's is crucial for our overall well-being, but just how much should we be investing to enhance our sleep habits?
Let's dive in and find out!
Understanding the Value of Quality Sleep
Before we break down the dollars and cents of sleep investments, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible benefits of a good night's rest.
Quality sleep isn't just about feeling refreshed in the morning; it's about setting the stage for a healthier, happier life.
From sharpening our memory to reducing stress and even lowering the risk of chronic diseases, the benefits of quality sleep are truly endless.
Exploring Different Sleep Improvement Strategies
Now that we understand the importance of quality sleep let's explore some strategies for enhancing our sleep habits.
From simple lifestyle changes to cutting-edge sleep technology, there's a wide range of options to suit every budget and preference.
1. Lifestyle Changes for Better Sleep
Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective.
By making small adjustments to our daily routines, we can significantly improve the quality of our sleep.
Try cutting back on screen time before bed, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to wind down.
2. Cost-Effective Sleep Aids
If you're looking for a little extra help catching those Zzz's, there are plenty of cost-effective sleep aids available.
From herbal supplements to soothing white noise machines, these budget-friendly options can help you drift off to dreamland without breaking the bank.
3. Investing in Sleep Technology
For those who are willing to splurge a bit more on their sleep habits, investing in advanced sleep technology can be a game-changer.
Smart mattresses, sleep trackers, and adjustable bed frames are just a few examples of the high-tech gadgets available to help you optimise your sleep environment and improve your overall sleep quality.
Making Smart Investments in Your Sleep Health
When it comes to investing in better sleep, it's essential to weigh the costs against the potential benefits.
While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option available, investing in quality sleep is an investment in your long-term health and well-being.
By considering the economic, emotional, and health-related impacts of poor sleep, you can make informed decisions that will pay off in the long run.
Sweet Dreams and Sound Investments
The value of quality sleep cannot be overstated.
By investing in better sleep habits, you're not just improving your nights β you're investing in a healthier, happier future.
Whether you're making simple lifestyle changes or splurging on the latest sleep technology, Beds4U is here to support you every step of the way.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
