Soft drink rant at supermarkets
Has anyone noticed the price of soft drinks at paknsave this week? Some people won't care but I was shocked yesterday when I shopped in Kilbirnie paknsave and wanted to buy my normal 2.25 litre bottle only to discover that it had increased more than 25% from $3,49 to $4,65. This is outrageous. When I questioned this they said the supplier stated that because the 1,5litre was on sale from $2.65 to $2 this week the 2,25 litre had to be increased. I compared with Countdown - $4,00 for 1,5l and $3.50 for 2.25. And this is just one thing I noticed. I can only imagine what these super markets are manipulating with other products. I guess I will be drinking water from now on.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Shocking anti-Māori propaganda posted in mailboxes
I am a Māori and today I found some shocking anti-Māori propaganda which had been obviously hand delivered into my mailbox. It was a call to action and as the neice of the late Moana Jackson and Syd Jackson, two intelligent and educated Māori leaders I am appalled to think that someone in my Island Bay neighbourhood is helping to spread these hateful messages.
