What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.
The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.

Unfortunately for me, my printer head broke down just after I installed them, so that they haven't been used. I paid $108.69 on special for them and I am looking at selling them at $70 the lot. The prices range from $108.69 to $149 for combo sets. A great bargain not to be missed as they are very expensive to buy.The printer itself needs a new printer head. If you think you can fix this, you can have it for free. It's an HP OfficeJet 6600 MFP. Has cord and installation disk. If not, no sweat. Reply if you are interested or any questions.

Well, I am from old school girl and I only familiar with this machine. I am looking for it as I would like to start sewing again which I used to do many years ago. I had tried using the new sewing machine which is electric and I stuffed up the sewing machine. I has been looking for it on trademe and FB but either they are out of Hamilton , some are connected to electric and some doesn't work or need repairing. So if anyone knows of anyone selling or getting rid, please consider my request..thank you

This daily task entailed putting an item into a box during the first 24 days of Dec and then on Xmas eve donating entire box to a food bank/Salvation Army.
As I only go to shops 1-2 times a week I've come up with my own method.
Starting last week (after I had already been groceries couple of days earlier, so luckily I had something here to add) I set up a box and placed a pkt of pasta into it, and today during groceries I bought pkt of cornflakes.
So I'll be adding 1-2 items per week until Xmas eve then will donate somewhere. Thought others might like to do likewise.
Did donate few weeks ago (after daughter had massive clean out of her pantry) a pile of items to the food pantry in Grange ave. But twice this week I've gone past and it's been empty.
By starting up your own weekly or daily food box/es you can then be sure they'll get to people who really need them via a food bank or Salvation army.
Don't forget to include food tins/pkts for pets and household items like toilet paper, tissues, handy towels, rubbish bags, dishwash liquid, soap, etc etc.
So my challenge is that next time you do your groceries buy 1-2 extra items (I usually go for items I personally wouldn't usually use myself ie I prefer ricies but I bought cornflakes for box) and start up a box to donate on Xmas eve/a day or 2 earlier to a food bank or even directly to a family you know who would greatly benefit from a food box.
Thanks for taking up the challenge. I'm on a benefit but as I've been helped by a food bank in the past, I usually donate during Dec to the food bin in the supermarket but starting last week I'm doing a food box instead. Given my finances I'll be averaging about $1-3 per item depending what I can afford each week and what items are on special.
Many thanks to all those who follow my lead.
