Hello Fresh box
Hello Fresh give discounts to existing customers if they share a free box to a "new customer".
If you have never tried Hello Fresh before, please message me for a free box. I'll need your email address, then you'll get an invite from them.
Hello Fresh works on a cellphone app. It may also work on a desktop/laptop (never tried).
Note the shipping is NOT free and is $9.99. I think you may also get discounts on future boxes.
Also if you want a box greater than $135 (I think) or extras like lunches or desserts, these are NOT free.
Hello Fresh works out pretty cheap if you keep getting the discounts. I just skip any weeks when I don't have discounts!
Tip: To cancel, call them (you can't do it in the app). Also if you cancel, then a year later you'll be considered a new customer and can call them and ask for discounts (esp if you mention Bargain Box!).
Hello Fresh definitely use alot of savvy marketing techniques, but if you are equally savvy, you can turn the tables and keep your grocery bill low!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
