Crystillery Community Pop-Up 23 September

Leonard from Riverhead

Kia ora koutou katoa, Shalom & Talofa lava,
On Saturday the 23rd of September 2023 we have the Crystillery Pop Up from 8am to 12noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall.

For this month as Spring arrives in, we have a wonderful collective sharing and selling their creative pieces with you. As always we are supported by:

3 Lefts Art with Andy and Hanae who showcase, act and sell on behalf of local artists

Heritage Indian Café coupons for a coffee and Saturday morning home baked butter chicken pie! from Navdeep and Anmol (Namaste!)

Bruce Davey (Carver) and whānau who are Multimedia Artistes with their wonderful range of cards, gluten free wheat bags and jewellery

Crystillery Custom Goddess Jewels, Crystals Fossil and Stone Finds crafted and sourced by Riverhead local Leonard (and co-organiser)

Tarot (Rider Waite) Readings $40 - 30mins with Lisa with 22 years reading experience + vintage/retro curated pieces. LIsa will be starting at Crystal Visions Markets with the community of readers from October. Thank you Michelle from Crystal Visions x

And additional to the collective this month we welcome Innes Nisbet who will community to kōrero/chat about sustainability and rubbish reduction, Patrice Murdoch from Mandala Massage in the board room space offering massage! Helen Hare from our local Hare Krishna community with her lovingly hand-made beads and Carol Peace who enjoys creative knitting, colour and crafts positive message dolls. The children will love these and they are super well priced.

Locals Leonard and Lisa continue to thank local community and locality creatives for the continued support to get this pop-up market off the ground in Riverhead. We found out recently there is no funding for creatives in Riverhead! Something clearly needs to change at local council for this.

And of course, we all thank the local community for coming along, buying products that are hand crafted and having a kōrero/chat too. It has been refreshing to meet with people and hearing life stories in a post pandemic context now...

We look forward to welcoming you to the market on Saturday 23rd September 8am to 12 noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall. Look for the signage outside!

Ngā tauwhirotanga o te wā

Pak n Save [ at it again, confusing prices specials etc]

David from Henderson

So we went to some shopping at our local Henderson Pak N Save and see the so-called specials. [times are hard for us all so specials are always on the menu] we see these on special. 2 packs for $6 .So i got 2 different ones from the options of flavors, many people were doing the same and saying it's a good deal!. Went through checkout and checked the receipt before leaving the shop. And wouldn't you know it, got charged full price [$1 extra] . When I asked to check, we had to go check the shelves to see [I also had to take a photo to prove it, as this is a weekly issue here, and they always deny it!] the lady manager couldn't tell me if this was correct and says I dont know if you can pick either one to mix or not so she had to asked another women who didnt know, then they had to ask another guy [now 3 staff members standing there with me] . Then she said no! you cant mix and match!. I said thats rubbish, your signs say 2 for $6 ,they are all the same brand and all the same price and as customers we see it that way as that is how it is presented to us to encourage us to take advantage of the special . Or am I wrong?. If you see refresh drink packets on special does that mean you can only buy one flavour?. I was sick of this ongoing attitude with the staff trying to always make you look like your wrong and they are right. No apology. I just asked for a refund and had no product. I wonder how many people do not check their receipts. We have issues every week because we always check. It is astounding how many times they get away with this issue of pricing.[and they have been warned of this on multiple times. Please check your receipts in these hard times and do not let them get away with taking your hard-earned money that could be used for more urgent things. it may seem small but over a year amounts to a large sum. I think it is a complete rip off and if there was competition in similar pricing [not woolworths , too pricey] they would of lost me as a customer a long time ago. My family alone spends over $500 a week here, not good enough.
