Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    Finding amazon.com.au to be offering some of the best prices for many things at the moment, with free international shipping on spends over $50. I’m finding I can often purchase the same product for 1/2 or less than I can purchase locally. Happy to support local, but not when I’m being fleeced!?

    As an example; I’m planning to make some cabinets and bookshelves and need hinges, wood glue etc… A large bottle of wood glue, purchased locally and delivered, will set me back $141 - on amazon.com.au I can get it delivered for ~$76. Even better for hinges, that I either had to buy in multiple small lots or huge lots (which I didn’t want) locally. Even the huge lots were more expensive!

    Anyway, worth a look if you’re spending $ in these ‘tight’ times.

      Wasn’t there a thing a while back about people ordering groceries from amazon.com.au having them shipped to NZ and it being cheaper than buying locally?
