Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Do we need better animal welfare rules in Aotearoa?

At $10 a pop, is this the most expensive cheese scone in New Zealand?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Despite being priced as high as $7.50 a pop, cheese scones are flying out the door in Christchurch – but you could pay even more.

Despite being priced as high as $7.50 a pop, cheese scones are flying out the door in Christchurch – but you could pay even more.

In Queenstown, punters looking for their baking fix at Piers Restaurant and Bar are forking out an eye-watering $10 per scone.

The item is included on the ‘Small Bites’ section of the menu, alongside a $10 piece of carrot cake, and more expensive than a side of smoked salmon ($9) or pork sausages ($7).

Struggling to chew on that? Stuff reporter Debbie Jamieson tried the homemade scone, which she described as “very lovely” but had “nothing to distinguish it from one I would make from the Edmonds book at home”.

The famous Edmonds cookbook, a staple in many Kiwi kitchens, includes a scone recipe that only calls for five ingredients – flour, baking powder, milk, butter and salt – and five steps in the baking method.


On Tuesday, Stuff readers were divided over the price of Christchurch café South Town Club’s $7.50 gluten-free scones, with 76% of 5550 voters saying they wouldn’t be willing to front up that much cash for the baked good.


Even Kiwi culinary icon Allyson Gofton gave her two cents on the matter, saying “people are mad to buy a scone for $7.50, whether it’s cheese or date”.

Pier Restaurant and Bar declined to comment.
