Can you save money on power by switching to another provider?

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

💡🔌According to research from Consumer NZ, the average household can save up to $500 a year by switching energy providers.
You can look at the deals offered by other providers servicing your area, to see if they could save you money on your power bills.
There are several businesses that offer comparison tools or services that allow you to compare your power bill against what other companies charge for the same types of plans.
Using information from a recent power bill will give you a more accurate comparison and idea of how much you might save.
It is worth using more than one comparison tool, because some do not include all the smaller energy providers.
For links to the comparison tools and services, and for more information about switching energy providers, visit cab.org.nz/article/KB00000083

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
