Expected contents of Food Together orders for 7 March

Kathriona Benvie from

Did you read the article about us in the Manawatu Standard or on Stuff this week? We are delighted with this publicity and it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the fantastic team that pack your orders each week. The link is below if you missed it
This week the $12 value orders are expected to contain cabbage, carrots, onions, spring onions, oranges, royal gala apples and pears. In the $20 orders add in potatoes, telecucumber and bananas. The deal of the week is a punnet of Aguta baby kiwifruit $3.
We have the Food Together cloth re-usable and re-purposed bags back in stock. You can order them online or pay us $5 cash at St Matthews. There is quite a good range of colours available and they are sturdy with many customers still arriving to pack their orders into the bags they got about 18 months ago.
To celebrate their return there will be two lucky draws this week to win one of these bags if you make an order before noon on Tuesday. Why not order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz...
The end of summer lucky draw was won by Kate B.
Photos of last weeks 12 and $20 orders are shown below

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
