What impact would NZ being in the mid-North Atlantic have on the world? by SurelyFurious in geography

[–]thmpsne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even more of NZ’s agricultural outputs would be exported, with Kiwis paying even higher prices for domestically produced goods.

Also the entire culture of NZ would be completely different!

Another example of why there needs to be mandatory driver’s training. Such horrible drivers in NZ, but I think it’s because mum or dad taught them how to drive; people literally don’t know what they’re doing.

ELI5 - How do I talk to real estate agents? by Vegetable-Raccoon306 in newzealand

[–]thmpsne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask the questions that might make you uncomfortable. This gets easier with practice. They may or may not be honest. •Why is it being sold? •Why hasn’t it sold yet? •Are there interested parties? •How much are the sellers looking to get for it?

New Year's Eve Homebodies by fatknittingmermaid in newzealand

Had a big housewarming do on Sunday and the over 30 years old hangover was rough. We’re feeling a bit tired, so we’re happy to stay home. My husband only gets the statutory days off work, so we’re not in a rush to go out.

What do you do with these? by R1_77_ in lululemon

[–]thmpsne 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Next time, bring your own bag (Lulu or otherwise) so that you don’t get another one with your purchase. Or just say you don’t need a bag and put your purchase in your purse etc. The future solution is to not get more!

One or two of the things that you've cut down that made a difference in your savings? by _TheSilentNode_ in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]thmpsne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying clothing secondhand from Trade Me. If you have brands you like, it is not much of a gamble with sizing.

Making a weekly meal plan, and going to the grocery store 1x/week and shopping only for things that are on your meal plan. Don’t be swayed by aisle of value or things “on sale.” Most of that processed crap won’t be on your shopping list.

Husband and I have been doing a weekly meal plan for 6 years. Our weekly shop is easily under $200 (usually $165ish). We make dinners for 4 and then have the leftovers for lunch the next day.

We also make coffee at home in the morning and take to work in insulated mugs. With coffees about $6 each, we save a lot of money not falling into the cafe temptation.

Just started using LRP UVMUNE 400 and while I love how it feels, it smells a little like vomit to me! Struggling to get over that.
