The Underground Market has Wellington's largest collection of yummy handmade goodies every Saturday 10am-4pm. Some of the stallholders will even give you tips or teach you a new craft if you're keen. Or you can just shop til you drop! A new necklace? Frock? Cupcake? Homeware? Live music and happy faces make your visit to the waterfront worthwhile! See you there I hope. Helena xx

Hi, the Titirangi Mums' Craft is a goodie, & it's on the second Saturday of each month, including this weekend. Everything on sale is made by the stall holder, and it's mainly about the kids with a little in there for the rest of the family too.

Next market: This Saturday, 13th August, 10-2pm, Kaurilands Primary School hall, 109 Atkinson Road, Titirangi, Auckland.

35+ stalls, cake stall, real coffee cart, bouncy castle, face painters, balloon twisters & a sausage sizzle!

One good reason to skip lunch

By Siobhan Leathley, yesterday

Plenty of food that’s good enough to eat (but not good enough to sell) is disposed of every day. Kaibosh Food Rescue is aiming to change all that by collecting extra food and distributing it to charities. Now they're calling on Kiwis to donate the cost of a meal on Miss a Meal in May Day – so they can expand their mission to help out the hungry.
