What's your best cost-saving tip?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just when we thought the cost of living couldn't climb any higher...it does. While things like fuel prices are out of our control, many of us are looking for small, practical ways to stretch our dollars a bit further. So let’s put our heads together!

Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing tips to help you save money — and we’d love to hear yours too. What’s working for you right now?

Here are a few ideas to get started:
🎉 Plan ahead for the year (birthdays, events, travel) to avoid surprise costs
🪙 Check out $2 shops for everyday items like stationery, baking paper, foil, and cling wrap - often much cheaper than the supermarket
🐖 Bring back the piggy bank and save your loose change
🔨 DIY where you can - like mowing the lawn instead of paying someone
💵 Set a daily budget before heading out and stick to it (cash can help!)
🧴 Stretch household products by diluting things like shampoo or dishwashing liquid

Got a tip that’s helping you save? Share it below, the tip might make a huge difference to someone else.

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday April 23rd

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

Our next film night is on Thursday, 23rd April in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the "Rocumentary" covering the music and career of NZ musician, Shayne Carter, Life In One Chord.

Our 8pm screening is the touching and inspiring story of the woman who pioneered a new style of teaching for children, Maria Montessori.

LIFE IN ONE CHORD
NZ, Rockumentary, 2025, 93 mins,
Cast: Miranda Harcourt, Chris Knox
Director: Margaret Gordon

From the quiet suburbs of Dunedin, to countless packed venues and then signing with international record labels - indie music icon, Shayne Carter has never been one to follow the rules and his music shows it.

Life in One Chord chronicles Shane's early teenage punk ambitions, to then being swept up in the Dunedin sound, forming his first band Straitjacket Fits, and his later self reinvention with Dimmer.

Narrated by Carol Hirschfeld, Life in One Chord fuses candid interviews, extensive archival footage and Carter’s own reflections to capture the grit, chaos, and creativity behind his career and music.

"Dunedin may seem like an unlikely location for a musical revolution, yet it became the locus of an indie music movement that was heard around the world." - IMDB

Shayne is playing in Whangarei at The Woodshed, Riverside Drive on Saturday 2nd May.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. Non-members pay $5 extra as an Associate Membership fee per film (Total of $15).

All welcome. Cash only please – NO EFTPOS AVAILABLE.
