Shopping local just bit itself in the bum!

Quinton from Milson

This afternoon I went to Stevens in the Plaza to buy the red silicone utensils I saw online, they had all of the ones I wanted except the FLIPPER. I asked Aaron behind the counter if he could get one for me and without hesitation, a slight arrogance in his tone, he said NO. I asked if he can click and collect or get one from another store etc - NO. I proceeded to take the ones I could find in-store and came home to buy the flipper from their website and pay the shipping on top - which is fine.

However - in a day and age, where we are being asked to shop local I expect the customer service to shine, I enjoy a good shopping experience and will tend to return if it was a good experience, however, if not you have lost my business and I will happily shop from AliExpress, Amazon and other overseas markets...for a fraction of the cost to buy it at a shop local....think about that!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
