The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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

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? 🍫

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’ve all seen the warnings: fuel prices are surging toward heights we haven’t seen in years, with some projections suggesting we could hit the $4 mark soon. While the experts are saying "don't panic buy," it’s hard not to feel a bit of "pump shock" every time we fill up.
