I got told (and later looked it up to see wtf the person who told me was on) they wanted to give households money to pump back into the economy, which would be great but i see a lot of people lying about it haha

Well the fear is that people might not even spend it anyway and prefer to hold on to it. But I'm definitely being more conscious about shopping local. Not a big one for takeaways but there is a local one that I'd like to support as they do a lot of work within the community, including feeding the homeless.
I didn't shop a lot before (mostly online makeup shopping) but oh how I miss it. I think some of my purchases will be some more winter uniform for my girls and new clothes for them in general. One of my twins is suddenly growing way more than the other! Plus I'll sneak in those new Fenty Cream blushes hehe
I just spent a bunch of $$$ on activewear but still need a few more things -new shoes, warmer tops etc. I have some credit stored with flight centre so when we can travel again I might go and work from somewhere different for a week, maybe Queenstown. I want a new duvet cover and a few things for the kitchen. And I'll probably buy wine coz, you know, it'd suck if that industry collapsed! We're so good at wine here.
And yeah the dollar amount I've heard bandied about is $1500 per adult and a smaller amount per child. I feel like they almost need to do this in a way where it's not cash provided, you just ha e to register a special number when you 'purchase' and the govt get charged then it comes off your total. Otherwise people will bank it or invest it or sit on it.
My massage lady who I have been going to for donkey's years just text me. Like other self-employed, she is finding it tough. I decided that when she starts up again I will go for one hour massages for awhile, instead of the half hour. My body sure needs it and it's not as if I've been able to spend the money I've saved from not going. Win/win situation for both of us I think.
I don't believe in luck in that way anyway. Being able to afford what you want is not lucky. It's good choices and hard work.
you can work hard and not be able to afford things, it's true, but I reject the notion that success has anything to do with luck.
That does sound sore! I was so stressed at my last massage appointment that my back was all knots and I ended up bruising. Need to go more often and stop it getting to that point

That's such a great initiative soozie. As far as I'm aware there is nothing like that in my local area. We have a community pantry that's been of use which is great.
Such a great idea trudi! Somewhere beautiful with views? Would love to see pics if you do go.
The amounts I saw on the news was $1500 per adult $500 per child.

One of my best friends owns a cafe and this has hit her hard, it may end up being the end of her business but I hope not. So I'm going to be spending as much as I can to help towards getting her back on her feet.
Its also the little things that can help a business like sharing their business on facebook, placing reviews, buying gift vouchers, buying online if that is an option. I will be doing as much of this as I can for our locals and also other businesses that may not be in Whangarei but can offer a delivery service.
Places like the supermarkets, Kmart, The Warehouse, they will all be able to get back on their feet so my main focus is definitely on our community.

Agreed, the bigger name shops will survive albeit with some losses but it may decimate the smaller individual businesses. I'm a dine out fan and love reviewing my experiences. Same actually with products, services and everything else under the sun. I want to support local and NZ made. Also maybe a thread could be started so we can share and support. Just an idea.
@tabucutie, Pre-approval from the BR Crew would probably be needed first with regards to a thread along those lines ... Especially for any BR members who own their own small businesses, as commenting in a thread like that would be classed as self-promotion (not usually allowed on BR, but maybe an exception could be made for that one particular thread, just to help small business owners spread word of how they may be operating during this difficult time?)
@Shazatron, have you tried Goodbye Sandfly Repellent & Soother? I have the one in the dropper bottle and it's the only product that stops our mozzies from eating me. I saw the Goodbye range in my local FourSquare two weeks ago ... and they're a local NZ company. :)
