im a budget shopper. homebrand everything and if its not on special i dont buy it. i actually found new world to be quite cheap for meat last week and the odd bits and pieces. 3.50 for 500g premium mince $4 for a nice big piece of rump steak.

Homebrand is the way to go!! Idnetical to "branded" stuff and a fraction of the cost

some homebrand stuff is horrid and inferior in taste and content. And often contains more fat ! Check out the backs of products and compare for yourself, I did !

wheelz that is ones opinion. For the first time in over a year i bought a packet of huggies baby wipes last week i normally buy homebrand wipes and i am totally disapointed never will buy them ever again and they were twice the price. They fell apart like paper. I have never bought anything homebrand that i dont like. Pasta is 1/3 of the price of regular pastas and in my opinion taste better.

Which really is the most expensive nowadays?It always used to be Foodtown for me, now they have all changed and I get confused!I spend years shopping at Pak and Save because we were so broke but I HATE packing my own groceries now :0)I like the layout of the new Countdown and New World stores which both seem to be everywhere......

i hate shopping at pak n save. the layout is horrible and i wont buy meat from pak n save because everytime i go there and get meat i come home and the mince and steak is disgustingly brown in the middle so called packed that day and we both got sick after having chicken from there. everyones different though and they do have cheap prices but its just a headache to go there. Countdown is just so easy and everythings organised nicely. Plus i get the onecard vouchers everytime so it makes it worthwhile for me because they always come when we need it most.

I shop at Countdown usually, like their layout too. Homebrand products are good and better value for money than the other brands. Although, I don't like their frozen peas, gone back to Watties.Also don't like their SR flour, last one I got you could really taste the baking powder in it, gone back to the other brands of flour. Tried PnS for a change recently but found I still had to go to Countdown to get the odd item or two not available at PnS so I guess I will stay with CD. I get my veggies at the local Sunday Market

Yes i get my bulk of grocieries delivered by countdown each month, i have whats called POTS where my bloodflow is all up to crap in a short term and cant stand up for ages without needing to sit down all the time, i find getting it dropped off to my home-a hassle free thing to do, plus i didnt waste my energy behind ppl at the supermarket lol....then i pop in for a small shop with my b/f to top up goods we need...Plus having personal shoppers doing your list they get the best stuf for you too and get free samples too

The pricing for the NZ supermarkets is Pack-inslave is cheapest, then 4% less is New World and then Countdown...Yes they all from time to time have "lost leaders" which bring people in and then they work their displays to suit...and often you can lift the 'special' ticket and actually find the price under it is the same.The only differences in prices is the product's that are brought in as "directs" fruit and vegies are dependant on what's available in the markets to buy from...so it cost 4% to have bags packed at supermarkets..and Pack-in-slave still charge for bags....

I find countdown real annoying and it has put me off going there when everything is buy 2,3 or 4 of things when I only want one item.Buying the extra is a pain when I don't have the extra in the budget to spend.

Who cares where anyone else shops,I think everyone knows the difference.I like countdown or new world. Paknsave is so manky, if im spending time shopping, it might as well be somewhere nice, with nicer food, more variety and nicer surroundings.

if you shop online, you don't have to buy multiple items but you still get the discounted price.ie if it says 2 for $5, you can buy 1 for only $2.50.well that's what it's always been like when i shop online.... assume it hasn't changed
tipsy_bl0nde,

Was thinking the same thing raebee. Thats what i love about shopping online is i get it at the special price without having to buy multiples. Totally agree with you vintagekitty "manky" is the best way to put it. Done shopping today online and cost be a lot less than i expected because of the multi items. Yay!
