Looking for affordable FRESH fruit & vegetables
Evening Ladies & Gentlemen,
Now, I need your help please.
The man and I have just paid through the nose (again) for our weekly fruit & vegetable shop. Once we picked ourselves off the floor and hobbled home with a broken and empty wallet, we made the decision we have to find another place to do our weekly shop.
We know that prices have been going through the roof across the board, but we feel that because a local place isn't there (for now) that this shop can increase prices above supermarket prices and get away with it as they are the closest in the neighbourhood.
We used to go to a couple on Lincoln Road, but one was so expensive and one had poor quality fruit and shocking service.
We would really value your import into where we can find good value for fresh products. We chose our current one because they had fresh products, even through the weekend.
So we really want:
1. FRESH
2. Affordable - good value
3. Great selection and variety
Thank you all in advance for your help

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
