PakNSave
Went in to PNS today to buy, amongst other things, pumpkin. Decided to buy a full pumpkin (it's cheaper than the pieces of pumpkin) which was labelled as $4.99 each. No problem with that price - but went through checkout and checked on way home - pumpkin at $4.99 per KG which made it a couple of dollars more in cost. Sorted it out and got a refund - all good? No! The staff member when asked to change the price or the register didn't do anything. If you bought a whole pumpkin at PnS check your bill - you may getting ripped off - maybe that's the way the profits will stay up after GST is removed???
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
