Expected Food Together contents for 9 May
We had an interesting time packing four different types of orders this week but the team said it was great to have a new challenge. Normally I post pictures of the orders on our Facebook and Neighbourly pages but this week I will also attach photos to this email so you can see what last week's new style of orders look like.
The winner of the lucky draw for a free Community Gourmet order ($26.50 value) is Kim S.
This week's expected contents are as follows: $10 Gold lettuce, telecucumber. tomatoes, apples, pears and mandarins. The $15 Community Value order will have more volume than Gold in apples, mandarins and tomatoes plus carrots added. The $26.50 Community Gourmet will have more volume than the Community Value plus spinach. potatoes, grapes and bananas. The $36.50 Whanau Fiesta box has more volume of tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, apples, mandarins and bananas but the same contents as the Gourmet.. The Deal of the week is broccoli for $1.
Why not order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz... or ensure you place your orders before midday on Tuesday 7 May.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
