And yet MORE money being wasted ...

all for the sake of rebranding.

First we had Woolworths, then came the 'more fresher & modern' Countdown and now they are taking us back to where it all started!!
www.stuff.co.nz...

Insert double facepalm HERE!!!

Woolworths Group said it planned to invest more than $400 million over the next three years to rebrand its network of 194 stores - WTAH??

They jack up the prices so regularly and so severely, for what exactly?
Are we the mugs who are paying for all of this rebranding?
Are we the mugs who continually swallow the dressed up BS as to why they do this sort of stuff?

It absolutely beggars belief that after the so called investigation into the duopoly and grocery prices, that this crap is allowed to continue to happen.
The arrogance of it all, sheer arrogance.
It's like a great big thumb to the nose at each and everyone of us.

"Woolworths said it would offer “more value for customers”" - I call BS on this. Call it what you like, it's still daylight robbery for so many out here in the real world.

Let's be honest here, the Government won't do anything, why should they? They are reaping the rewards from the various taxes. This will be like having your very own golden goose.
All the while, we will still be crippled and held to ransom by all of this malarkey

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, sad but oh so true.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!

Are you a retired tradie? Can you help the younger generation?

The Mangere-based Ara Education Charitable Trust is inviting volunteers to share skills and knowledge on a one-off, or an ongoing, basis. Retired tradespeople could help by working with the students, says John Vazey, senior health, safety and wellbeing business partner at Auckland Airport.

Students are working on a number of projects, including the Forever House, transforming it from a derelict house into a sustainable low-cost home to be returned to the community. Volunteers will work alongside AECT tutors and the students in classroom and hands-on projects.

Do you want to pass on some of your skills and knowledge? Get in touch with the team by emailing editor@foreverproject.co.nz

Looking for free microwave for an old neighbour

Markus from Green Bay

I have an old neighbour in her mid 70s (and with health problems, eg she can only use one arm) on a very small pension.

After Xmas I was shocked to hear that she was basically living on Chinese Noodles all the time - especially as I had just eaten a large portion of leftover ham from another neighbour (and felt quite guilty about that). Since then I'm looking after her a bit and started to bring round dinner and leftovers occasionally (I'm not exactly rich myself, but if the small guys don't help each other out …). The problem is that heating up leftovers is difficult for her with just one usable arm - so I'm looking for a free microwave for her. If anyone has one then I would appreciate if she could have it. Thanks. Markus
