It can be stressful to find more ways to save money. Comparing your bills using NZ Compare is one simple way you can cut costs!
It only takes a couple of minutes to check if you're on the right plan, for the right price. Remember the longer you leave it, the more money you could be choosing to spend instead of SAVE.
Read our guide on how to save on your Broadband and Power bills OR ring our NZ-based Customer Support Team on 0508 226 672 Monday-Friday 10am-6pm. They're here to help!
Upper Hutt is growing but are the services provided within Upper Hutt keeping up?

Recently needed a computer printing machine cartridge checked. But the only shop in Upper Hutt who was doing this for years has closed up completely so one now has to go to Lower Hutt or Wellington to find out if new cartridges re-filled cartridges are needed or if the printer is misreading it/ not functioning correctly.
There is still the Newbolds used goods store in Upper Hutt that will provide new cartridges or at least order one in but doesn't have the equipment to check things out nor sell or discuss printers etc.
This is a bit like shoe etc repairs. The only experienced shoe etc repairer in the Upper Hutt CBD retail strip moved to the Wairarapa a couple of years ago leaving a controversial shoe repair operation in The Mall as the sole service in that realm. That repairer wanted $40 from me to glue the front piece of a clean shoe stating he had to clean the shoe first whereas a shoe repairer in Lower Hutt charged me an acceptable $10.
But a step up is the new upmarket butchery-deli shop in Upper Hutt's CBD which has replaced a former cheap butchery that was in the same locality. Wow, beautiful cuts and quality of meat (eg lamb chops that are all but devoid of fat and bone) , marvellous flavours and types of sausages, family size pies out of this world but actually made in Waterloo, variety of cheeses from all over the universe etc etc
This deli flies in the face of an UH City Councillor who advised me that Upper Hutt CBD wasn't for expensive or boutique.

"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

"Anyone who knows anything about shags, especially the big ones, knows that I risk much to bring you this unique angle. Nearly had to ride home in my underwear with all the windows down - it's happened before. Pied shag/ kāruhiruhi (Phalacrocorax varius) at the Waimanu Lagoons at Waikanae. Bird #34 in 2023."

Feel free to ring 022 387 4094, email benefitadvocacykapiti@gmail.com or just pop in for a cuppa on Mondays 😊😊😊
It would be wonderful if you could pass our details on, particularly to people who don't have access to the internet - their lives made even harder by government departments all having (sometimes impenetrable) websites, and the confusing world of RealMe, MyMSD, MyIR....
(There is also someone at Cameo on Monday mornings to help you with phone and computer problems, don't forget!)

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.
Create a mini kitchen garden and add a pop of Resene colour with this fun project.
