We’ll have colouring activities to keep kids entertained, and a lolly-jar competition running for one lucky adopter to take home some goodies for the new companion animal ❤

Mark your calendars and come on down this Saturday or Sunday.

Message from a Dear friend
=======================
"Here, we start celebrating right from the early morning prayers when we all, including all the women of the house, go together to offer Eid prayers. I felt so emotional offering the Eid prayers with my son, grandson, daughter, daughter in law and their kids. The feeling of happiness is indescribable. It’s such a blessing to be in this country where we get to celebrate Eid beautifully not only with our family and relatives but people of so many different nationalities.

"It is one of those precious moments I'll always cherish. Eid’s focus is being with family, loved ones and I’m thanking Allah immensely for giving us these prized moments."

Have you heard about Perfectly Imperfect cheap fruit and veges?

Susan from Mount Eden

Hiya, first - Perfectly Imperfect is a non profit which gleans or receives fruit and veg which supermarkets don't accept- too small, too big, too weird.

to research it

or there's an interview on RNZ and an article in the NZ Herald if you want

They sell these mystery boxes of fruit and veg (a decent amount) for $26 a box which can be delivered for around $10 weekly. I'd guess the amount in the box would be $60 to $80 worth at a supermarket
For every 4 boxes sold a family who can't afford it gets a free one.
Anyway follow the link above for the details, the thing is they were doing a pop up on Friday afternoons at Gribblehurst Community Hub outside but its grown too much so they're looking for a space in our area maybe 4 days a week to set up a wee shop, cheap or free. Does anyone know of such a thing?

If you do, you can message me or contact them directly through the Facebook page above, thanks everybody!

It's the second 24/7 Kmart in Aotearoa after the retail giant's Sylvia Park shop.
One shopper told 1News she was lined up from 3.30am on her way back from the airport.
"I'm excited just to see a new store. I hear it's really big so I'm coming to have quite a big look."
Another shopper said she shops at Kmart for the cheaper prices amid the cost of living crisis.
"I know it's quite hard for a lot of families out there, you know struggling to get through and Kmart is quite cheap, it's good for me as a mother of four."
She also said it would be good to see more shops like Kmart in New Zealand to help those struggling with inflation.
"It'll help everyone."
Other customers agreed, with one saying Kmart is "really, really helpful" especially for big families.
"Some of them [products] are really good quality and they're reasonably priced so yeah it really helps out the pocket."
Store manager Sharlene Goberdhan said the store has been in the works for 10 years and it's amazing to finally see it come together.
"When you look at the community out there around the airport, people are coming in and out of the airport constantly.
"The existing Manukau store had 100 team members, we've taken all of them across, no one was left behind."
