Poll: Would a new supermarket help NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nicola Willis will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and encourage a third supermarket player alongside FoodStuffs and Progressive (Woolworths).

Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?

What historical moment lives on in your memory?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Everyone has at least one world event they’ll never forget. Whether it’s something recent like the pandemic or the passing of the Pope, or something from the past like 9/11 or a World War.

If you're comfortable sharing, let us know where you were when the news broke, and what do you remember most about that moment?

The PICKERS

Kayleen from Orewa

✨ Feijoa Fun in the Kitchen! ✨

I'm always experimenting with new ways to repurpose the fresh produce that is generously gifted to us, and this week it was all about feijoas!
After washing and top and tailing them, I cut them in half — skins and all—and popped them into a pot with a splash of water and a little sugar. Once they were stewed soft, I mashed them gently with a potato masher.

Then came the fun part: I grabbed my Edmonds Cook Book and used the banana loaf recipe, swapping the banana for the same amount of feijoa pulp.

The result? Absolutely delicious. Moist, flavourful, and that uniquely gritty feijoa texture we all secretly love! 😋

Give it a go — you might just find a new favourite!
