Countdown Orewa shopping baskets
Hi neighbours,
We've heard that Countdown Orewa have had quite a few shopping baskets go missing, perhaps since they've stopped selling single use plastic bags as of last month.
Are you a regular customer at Countdown Orewa and have you been effected by this? Has one of their baskets gone home with you? Are you a regular basket user? Email your thoughts to caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz or comment down below.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, 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 ⚖️
