For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

We're so excited to have our Hawkes Bay local business up and running again after the lockdown period and wanted to update everyone on how they can purchase from Bay Beds and support local at level 3.

Our showroom remains closed to the public at this time, however our friendly staff are available through the week to answer any queries you have and even take orders for contactless collection or delivery.

If any of you are considering purchasing a new bed but unsure about how to go about it at level 3 give us a call, we're happy to talk you through the process and discuss your needs so we can recommend the right bed. Also we offer a 100 day comfort guarantee to all our customers, so if you're not completely happy after sleeping on it we will do a same day service alteration on the bed you purchased to get it just right.

We also carry a range of furniture and bedding so if there's something specific you are after get in touch and we'll send through some info.

Thanks for supporting local everyone and keep safe,
Michael & the Bay Beds team

Interested, i weighed my mushrooms first then bagged them in the bags supplied, then weighed again. The difference was 7 grams heavier so if bagging first would have been paying for the bag at nearly $12. per kg. Nice way for the supermarket to sell paper bags at what must be a very good mark up. No I am not a scrooge but it was an interesting and informative exercise.
