Tawa Lions Saturday Market
This coming Saturday 12 May the Tawa Lions Market at Outlet City will be open from 9am to 2pm, featuring our regular Fruit and Vegetable vendor along with our own stall with eggs and honey. Saturday's weather forecast is looking good so we expect a good turnout of other stalls plus our Lions used book stall will be out for your perusal.
This week we have Honey and egg news.
For many years now we have sold standard and (lately) barn eggs - but unfortunately, this cannot continue. Egg producers are moving to free-range only, so barn egg prices are increasing to a level where they priced around the same as free-range. We will therefore not be restocking barn eggs. This week we have remaining stock at current prices. A reminder that at our market a dozen is 12 (not 10) eggs, and a tray is 30 eggs (not 20).
Last week we introduced Waireka Rewarewa honey in 500g jars - with free tasting. This will be available again this week. We have Helen's honey - creamed Meadow, Bush and Manuka/Bush along with Liquid Meadow.
Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City in providing the venue for our Market.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’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 ⚖️
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?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
-
45.2% I avoid spending money on coffee
-
42.7% I still indulge at my local cafe
-
12.1% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
