I saw a cool video on YouTube (Eating for $1.00 A Day). It was an American video, and it was posted 1 year ago.

The lady spent $10.90 (a wee bit more than $1 a day), and managed to live on that food for a week. The only pantry staples she used in addition to what she bought was salt and pepper.

Out of curiosity I thought I'd go to the Pak n Save website and see if I could do something similar for around $20 NZ. (That would allow for the exchange rate.)

Well, the price of eggs pretty much blew it. And the price of garlic.

I wasn't able to match products exactly, but a very close approximation of what she bought would have cost me just over $30.

So yeah. Not sure why I'm sharing, lol. Just was an interesting video and an interesting exercise. I'm always looking for frugality tips.

It's a shame our food is so expensive when we produce so much of it here.

....

Edit: Sorry, my post was unclear. I wasn't trying to cost out a week's worth of food. I was trying to compare prices like for like with what she bought!

I could definitely do a better deal with different products, I was just curious what her trolley of grocery items (like for like) would cost here.

Do not enrol with careers academy they led me to believe I’d get a job in support work through their courses but I checked and they’re not NZQA qualified and now are refusing to cancel my payments and stopped emailing back to me.

A lot of people have had the same experience and specifically being led to believe the courses they offer hold any weight.

I feel a fool they don’t even provide a service number to ring about this only an email.

I wish to rename the Pacific Ocean as the New Zealand Ocean.

I know it extends to America, but if America is going around renaming things then we should get in on the action.

Edit: we should go with Te Moananui a kiwa.

Saw on the news that he has been arrested for the shooting of the 2 illigeal poachers, he was such a nice guy, all he wanted to do was live out his life with his pigs and other animals,

For people who dont know, basicly he was a older guy who lived on both sides of the 309 road up by coromandel, people kept comming and stealing/shooting/running over/damanging his property, and giving him hell when all he wanted to do was relax with his pigs, the cops are a joke, he came to them so many times reporting everything , they didnt care.

The guys he ended up shooting/killing had been hounding him for ages, ramming his car, running over his pigs or shooting them with crossbows he finnaly snapped when they shot his favourite pig.

Is anyone else finding a lot of rental properties are being misrepresented in the listings?

The description of the listing makes it sound like it's in excellent condition, and the photos are digitally altered or photos are used from when the property was new to make it look like the carpet, walls, curtains, benches, cabinetry etc is all in good condition, and then when you go there everything is run down and old.

It's such a waste of time, as if they were just honest about the condition people could actually decide whether it's worth taking time off work etc to view it.

It's even worse when they're charging the upper quartile of market rent, in which case you'd be expecting a house of a certain standard, but nope, you get there and it's just another slumlord who has done zero upkeep but expects top dollar.

Rant over.

If its something you have strong opinions on, which I know many people here do, be sure to read through the proposals and get your submissions in before the 27th of Jan.

They're mostly focused on migrants but the question of whether it should only apply to migrants is open. (see chapter 3)

Submissions can be made by email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with “Amending the FIF rules for migrants” in the subject line (see chapter 1, page 6)

Curious what line of work people actually enjoy or at the least don't find miserable.

Just another occurrence on the long list of changes that makes them a poor service after being bought out my Kogan.

JB Hi-Fi have Transformers One (4K Ultra HD) listed for $52.98, and MightyApe for $59.99. They told me they no longer offer price matching when I asked.

I regret my annual PrimeApe subscription. Even with shipping JB is cheaper.

A pipe burst under my house, and caused our water bill to go up to $350. Usually around $40. The plumber has fixed it, and told me it's normal wear and tear. I guess I'm wondering if I'm supposed to pay for all of the extra water or not. Usually, I get a water bill from my landlord and pay them for it.

Hi everyone, I'm 8 days postpartum and I'm always dreading my midwives visits. Can I change midwives? She undermines me constantly, had a dig at me because I'm choosing to exclusively pump, rambles on that baby isn't eating enough (she's fed on demand but doesn't go longer than 3 hours without a feed) and she'll have the 50ml, burped, changed nappy and offered more but doesn't want it. It's like she's looking for things to fault me on. Is it too late to find someone else to do babys cares? The midwife makes me feel like absolute crap about myself
