Ezetil (German made) E26 Electric chilly bin.
This compact 21 l electric cooler neatly fits behind the driver or passenger seat of cars, making it the ideal companion for road trips and days out. Lightweight and with high quality insulation, it continues to keep contents cool for a while after disconnection from the 12 V cigarette lighter socket. The detachable lid is locked in place by the handle when it's closed, so contents won't spill out when you hit a bump in the road. When connected to the cigarette lighter socket, it cools snacks and drinks up to 15 °C below the ambient temperature. Thanks to its high quality insulation, contents stay nicely cool and fresh on the beach or picnic area, even after the Mirabelle MM24 DC has been disconnected from power.

Price of milk in supermarkets (Khandallah New World, possibly elsewhere)

Charlotte from Khandallah

Beware people - supermarkets may be overcharging you for the products you buy.

An example - for a 2 litre bottle of Value brand light blue milk - New World Khandallah has the shelf price displayed at $3.74 and has had this price on shelf for many weeks. However the price charged at the till has increased a few times upwards to now being at $3.96. My understanding is that this is illegal - the price charged must match the price displayed. My husband has mentioned this several times to the checkout operators with a complete lack of interest. I guess gentleman that he is he doesn't want to make a big fuss in public or get held up in making a formal complaint that costs time.

Pretty in pastel

The Team from Resene ColorShop Johnsonville

Painted glass bottles make a stylish display on their own or with the addition of dried foliage. The paint is on the inside so they still have that lovely glass sheen. Use Resene testpots to co-ordinate with your home's colour palette.

How should we dispose of Wellington’s waste?

Wellington City Council

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

- New landfill on top of existing landfill (piggyback option) - the Council's preferred option.
- Waste to energy incineration.
- No residual waste facility in Wellington City.

Go to wcc.nz/letstalk for more info and to have your say. Submissions close 5pm Sunday 15 May 2022.
