One more site at Mangere: 17 Elmdon Street, Māngere 2022 Went there and there are empty bags and spades for you to use. Park nearby, fill…

Does anyone know of any safe places in central Auckland to park the car (including paid) during the storm?

Avantime commented on Costco - Deal or Not a Big Deal?
Stuff there ain't cheap, so the Cheapies strategy is to recoup the cost of the membership fee with enough cut-price hot dogs and pizzas.

Avantime commented on Recommendations for Purchasing New Vehicles
Not this year, shortages everywhere and prices are going up, not down. You don't have bargaining power. The JDM used import market would…

Wear more layers than you need at the departure airport, and use the excess clothing to cover your thighs when feeling cold. Every gram in…

Sharetank Dude on Veon 75 Inch 4k Google TV $1139.05 + $72 Shipping ($63 with MarketClub+) @ The Warehouse, The Market

You pay a huge premium once you go over 65", so having a relatively affordable 75" and 85" from TWH is great. Nothing beats the wow factor…

fsmith on METZ 55" 4K OLED Android Smart TV $1585 + $30 C&C / $69 Delivery @ The Warehouse

This isn't some super crappy Transonic from yesteryear, the current crop of TWH TVs are decent enough to last a long time. The quality…

Speaking from experience, DLSS 3 Frame Generation is an absolute game changer for most games. Unless you play fast-reflex, competitive…

Nothingtoseehere on METZ 55" 4K OLED Android Smart TV $1585 + $30 C&C / $69 Delivery @ The Warehouse

I would just get a Chromecast/CCwGTV or Fire Stick instead. I always prefer a dumb TV with a separate TV stick over a smart TV. That's…

Has anyone done a review of these TVs?

How much ice do you need for the full 10 days, assuming it's kept indoors/in the shade at all times? Maybe 3 to 5 3KG bags from PaknSave?

Onehunga is rather sketchy at night, so beware. Not sure about Puhinui.

Avantime commented on Xbox Series Wireless Controller (Black) $82.50 (AU$78.10) Delivered @ Amazon AU
FYI this version has Bluetooth, so you can use it for more than just the Xbox.

Avantime commented on Hyundai Ioniq EV $47,365 + ORC, after Clean Car Rebate. (Fieldays Promotion, $10,000 Discount) @ Brendan Foot Supersite
The Ioniq is the old platform, I wouldn't pay that much vs. the Ioniq 5, or the BYD.

Avantime commented on Regular 91 Petrol - $1.97/L @ Costco, Westgate (Auckland, Membership Required)
PaknSave Westgate is also doing the same price, however you need to do a shop.…

Please amend the title to add "requires Costco membership".

You might find more info by asking around on the Cruise Critic forums.

Doesn't the travellers spend their nights on the ship during the port visit?

The exact location is [11 Tamariki Ave, Orewa.](https://www.google.com/maps/place/11+Tamariki+Avenue,+Orewa+0931/)

Avantime commented on Roof box - Car
There are also cheap nylon roof cargo bags you can find on AliExpress. I wouldn't go too fast with it though.

Yeah, they're just streamlined, impact-resistant plastic boxes. How hard can they be to make? Same for roof racks.

danz on Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen, Charcoal) $20.99 @ Noel Leeming ($17.84 via Price Guarantee at Bunnings)

They won't stop the service and leave millions of devices stranded, that would be catastrophic for the whole ecosystem e.g. Fire TV, Amazon…

They've been making pies for BP.

newuser94623 on 12x Pies 260g (Seconds) for $14 @ The Baker's Son, Silverdale (Instore Only)

Yeah they taste the same.

You do have to call them up first before you get going, as the popular flavours sell out fast. Also note that they close at 3:30pm, and…

6PM start. Very important. Load up the trolley early and head to the checkout after the start time.

Totally, and they're so much more useful. You can get one with a RTX 3060 at that price, used on Trademe. First timers should get a Switch…
