    I just found out that TVNZ+ has the whole Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series! I can’t believe that I can actually watch Star Trek, legally and for free, in NZ. Amazing.

      Yes! IIm loving all the new Star Trek the past few years. I didn’t realise there was a second season, I’ll have to get on to watching that.

      Pro tip, go to justwatch.com and search up the TV show or movie. It will tell you what options there are for watching it legally in NZ.

    Morning all. Done this weeks food shopping. We live a bit away from town, but Countdown deliver, so we use that. Have noticed a number of their items are now only available for store shoppers, but more costly similars are available on-line. Such is life I guess.

    Had pizza last evening, and there was a slice left so I fried it for a minute this morning to crisp up the base, a great tasty and very easy breakfast.

      We use Countdown Delivery as well. We’re a good hour away from a decent supermarket which, unless we have something else to purchase, would cost us at least $40 in fuel. So that decision is a no-brainer.

      Noticed the “Unavailable online” change with our last shop. I don’t think it is them trying to get online shoppers to pay for more expensive products, I think it means there is no stock or perhaps low stock in the physical shop. I wouldn’t be surprised if online shopping is starting to strip shelves and if they don’t put on some restrictions when they are low in stock, their physical shelves might be a bit bare. Which wouldn’t be a good look for in shop shoppers. Just guessing.

      Anyway, a quick look shows some things that were “Unavailable online” are now available - so my guess is that it’s related to a stocking issue, not something nefarious.

      I had originally thought it may have something to do with rebranding and stock, but I’ve not seen any rebranding as yet?

        I guess the logistics of catering for what is a very variable customer base, this week 500 orders, next week 50, is a tough one to handle. Living a bit remotely, our Countdown covers a huge area with its on-line deliveries. We’re just thankful it’s available for us.
