WasteWise at Parnell Farmers' Market

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

We're excited to have the Auckland Council WasteWise team join us tomorrow at Parnell Farmers' Market! 💚

Come and learn how to save money and reduce food waste with their helpful tips from Love Food Hate Waste. They'll also have useful information on how to use your food scraps bin and what happens to that food waste after it is collected.

Parnell Farmers' Market is open from 8am-12pm every Saturday morning at 545 Parnell Road, Parnell. Find out more about the market at villagesquare.org.nz..., and learn more about WasteWise at wastenothing.co.nz...

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’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 ⚖️

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? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’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? 🍫
