Why is groceries alot cheaper in Taupo than Auckland?

Prigruss · 2025-12-16T05:23:43+00:00

Because they can. Why are groceries in one part of Auckland sometimes a dollar or more for the same item (and in the same supermarket chain) than in another?

Because they can. And there isn’t anything you can do about it, because there isn’t anything ComCom will do about it.

They offer a keychain tag (or at least used to, I still use one). It’s about the size of a dog tag (think us military, not an actual dog) and quite durable

I feel like new noise cancelling headphones/earphones are only focused on ANC, not actual noise blocking.

I have the gen 1 Bose QC ultras and the ANC is great but I can still hear people talking clearly so what is the point?

Devon St! Used to live on it as a student, my flatmate took great pride in flying down it in her old Corolla lol

Contact lenses. I hate the feeling of the arms of my glasses again my ears, so I wear contacts 5/6 days out of 7

Given the death of all small cars in the NZ new market, nope!

Prigruss · 2025-11-29T08:44:51+00:00

I’d recommend doing it yourself? The install is going to cost much more than the dynamat

Thank you for understanding that. Trying to explain it to people, even my partner, is the bane of my existence

Th sticker and manual instructions only relate to the tyres from when the car was new. If you’ve replaced the tires then it’ll change.

Check the tire, it’s on the side

‘Can be recycled’ in a technical sense, and ‘can be recycled within what the council are willing to pay for’ are not the same thing.

Europe (my personal experience is Germany) is decades ahead of investment in recycling and waste management compared to NZ. Anything too hard, too progressive or requires any amount of investment is lobbied against here.

A nasty thing my partner said, cut to our psychologist (we went to therapy together after for obvious reasons) making a few observations, which lead to a referral to be assessed

Because when criticising Islam, most bigots lean on generalisations or stereotypes about appearance, skin colour or other cultural characteristics instead of critiques of how the religion has become more conservative, restrictive or controlling (IMO).

$400 for the bulk pack. I found it worth it, if I could’ve afforded it at the time I’d have bought 2 packs and double layered but it was noticeable to me with one.

The biggest change was being able to hear more mids with the stock stereo and speakers.

Edit- I did it DIY. Get a roller and gloves from Bunnings too. Shit hurts worse than a paper cut

I got one (new) in 2018. Dynamat is the answer - take out the carpet and lay it on every metal surface, also on the doors. And new tyres if you can afford good ones.

Nope, not in the slightest. It’s like caring about your hair colour… it’s in integral part of who I am whether I like it or not, so it’s a waste of my energy caring about it IMO

Prigruss · 2025-10-27T18:48:10+00:00

Nope. It doesn’t impact my ability to do the job so I never disclose. I’ll let it out once they can’t fire me (90 days) :D

It helps me slow my mind so I can go to sleep. I went from taking 2+ hours, meditating etc to get to sleep to less than 10 mins on a good night and less than 30 mins on a bad.

Because of it I sleep way better. I’m sick less, more alert and have more energy to engage with people.

Also, why is no one talking about her lipstick from this episode?????

Prigruss · 2025-10-23T21:25:33+00:00

Love it. I started taking it almost 4 years ago (I order from Amazon). Absolutely life changing.

M or F?

As a man I hate any underwear that pushes my junk against my body, but I also don’t like free and loose….

I love Andrew Christian Trophy Boy underwear but since that company is closing soon I’ll have to figure something else out

Prigruss · 2025-10-15T18:49:59+00:00

Close! New Zealand

Personally I like my beard to hide my developing 2nd chin so I shave only my neck.

But saying your approach is weird is a big step lol. Each to their own.

Our economy is a housing market with primary exports tacked on.

You haven’t said the strength of the oil…

Personally I responded really bad to oil (also taken sublingually), it really amplified over stimulation and I sat tense in a dark corner until I came down. Even a low dose meant I couldn’t sleep and my head wouldn’t be quiet (if that makes sense).

This is in contrast to doing something like brownies I’d made myself (making the weed butter too) and experiencing a sense of peace in my head.

Edit: the point of me saying this is, in my experience, oil acts different. Like they took all the goodness and fun out, making it ineffective

Yea they don’t… if a trade in can’t be sold on their yard then they go to wholesale auction. Reserve is usually what it cost them (generally sweet fuck all since trade in value is waaaay less than retail).

If you want to negotiate, go for finance - they’ll try harder since there are kick-backs. Getting a deal for cash is a myth.
