The last of the My Food Bag posts- homemade pizza and giant cookie
The last of the free trial meals My Food Bag gave us was the bacon and chicken pizza with roasted veges. Dessert was a giant baked cookie.
I have to say the pizza was the best homemade pizza I have ever had. It turned out great and there was plenty for me and the kids with lunch leftovers for the next day. My wife is a vegetarian so she stuck with the veges. My son baked the giant cookie and we had that hot with boysenberry ice cream- delicious!
Our overall impression of My Food Bag was that it was awesome. It's a fantastic idea and well executed. Like most people, we have to make the difficult decision on whether the per meal cost is within our budget. It is certainly something we would take up again, but whether we would be prepared to pay $169.99 every week is another matter (My Family Bag). There are a whole range of packages so we might try others as well. Last week was a free trial supplied to us by My Food Bag and later this week we will be announcing the winner of a week's free trial for one of our Neighbourly readers.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, 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?
