Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ›’

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think weโ€™ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So hereโ€™s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weโ€™d love to hear your thoughts!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? โ˜•

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weโ€™ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itโ€™s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets โš–๏ธ

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? ๐Ÿฅฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•

Whether itโ€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโ€™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? ๐Ÿซ
