Depending on who we are, a trip to the supermarket can either be the highlight of the week, or a task best avoided.
We asked the people of Waikato what annoys them about going grocery shopping - and, alternatively, where there was anything they found delightful about the experience.

I was spiralling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.
Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager). I'm not sure how this all came about, but it was around the time I started getting interested in boys and my body was changing. I would stare at myself in the mirror and think I was fat.

An historic dairy farm converted into housing and a retirement village in Morrinsville is the latest sign of “exponential growth” to hit the rural service town.
But the mayor says the town is in a good position to accommodate the expansion.

Talk of amalgamating the Waikato region’s multiple local bodies goes as far back as 1989, when around 850 around the country were amalgamated into 86 local authorities.
