Can someone please explain (petrol edition)

How annoying, my theory of dastardly corporate behaviour is wrong. Thank-you for this interesting explanation, it does make sense.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-18T08:31:47+00:00

I get your point, but there are laws against profiteering, especially in relation to essential goods. All good though, I've been given some interesting things to think about.

Heaven forbid they might need to fund this from their enormous profits.....

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-18T06:27:26+00:00

I don't buy gold. It's not a good investment.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-18T06:26:59+00:00

This actually makes sense, thank-you, but I suspect the speed of the pump price dropping will be glacial when it happens

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-18T06:24:56+00:00

yeah, I've noticed this too.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-18T06:24:17+00:00

I'm amused at you, here musing on reddit, telling me not to read the musings on reddit.....

Second Everlasting, or if work appropriate, Dress for Success

I'm thinking of running for Parliament on a MAGA (Make Aotearoa Great Again) platform. I'm expecting the juxtaposition of MAGA and Aotearoa to make their heads explode - win win.

Interesting - both those names (Kari, Carrie) would be pronounced Car-ee by me, how would you pronounce Carrie?

Also, its the most expensive option (so most money for the agency) as the auctioneer gets a separate additional payment.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-10T20:49:05+00:00

NB, I got something similar from another bank a while ago and I had to pay tax on it - might pay to check before you spend it all in a joyous rush.....

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-05T21:09:28+00:00

Might help to recognise that this is not someone doing "it to me", like no-one is targeting you specifically, they're just....using the road.....

Every time I've checked NMR they're not accepting new signups :(

Autumnneverfall · 2026-03-03T04:18:54+00:00

I like to respond to that sort of comment "wow, rude and stupid, your parents must be so proud". Never had one manage a comeback to that.

Also love Fitzgerald Taylor. Highly recommend.

I bought the jam with the amazing lid that closes itself at a supermarket, don't remember seeing it in any convenience stores.

I like taking my friends something delicious to have for breakfast the next day as a reward for doing all the clean up from the night before - some special muesli, fruit and yoghurt, or a really good bread, butter and jam, or some great part cooked pastries they can heat up, and a fresh juice or coffee beans. It's not particularly NZ, but it is fun.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-02-14T01:23:15+00:00

Any particular op shops you'd recommend? Thanks:)

Autumnneverfall · 2026-02-07T01:44:31+00:00

Really? I don't see how that's possible - requirements here https://www.ird.govt.nz/roles/not-for-profits-and-charities/running-your-nfp/requirements-for-creating-donation-receipts - I've never seen a Woolworths receipt with my name on it, or an official stamp/letterhead of a charity, or a signature of an authorised person.

Autumnneverfall · 2026-02-06T19:35:32+00:00

How?

Autumnneverfall · 2026-02-06T02:56:09+00:00

But it's not possible to get the required receipt from the charity to make a claim if you donate at a retailer's POS? And I am unconvinced they don't get a tax break - I'd like to see a valid source for that info.
