The Four Square in Matakana is a fantastic store to pop into for convenience when in Matakana town. I was happy to grab my toddler some organic baby food and snacks as we headed for the beach nearby. Honestly you name it; Four Square will have it for sale. Styled as a mini supermarket with everything you would need for the weekend at the bach or a picnic at the beach. They also sell Wine, Champagne, Beer and Cider for the get together BBQ your heading to. If you are feeling like you could strike it rich, they are also Lotto merchants so you're in luck. Outside the attractive display of fruit and vegetables are pleasing to my eye, and I thought the fun Matakana Four Square T shirt for sale here was fun and original.

When I was working on Queen Street I always came here for fresh fruit salads, fruit, raw nuts and drinks. It is like a hybrid of a grocer, dairy and a fruit store. You can even buy beer and wine here. These guys also had Marmite in stock long after it had left the shelves of supermarkets so I kept it to myself and came here for my Marmite fix. Absolutely the best convenience store in the CBD without a doubt. They even have a shoe shine machine!

The only reason it's still open is for convenience; the next closest grocery store would be Boric. It's over-priced, under-stocked & the staff are rude. I'd rather drive to Kumeu than give them my business (unless I'm desperate!) I think I've seen the Asian woman behind the counter try something resembling a smile only once all year. My advice - avoid like the plague. And someone open up a friendly local store soon!

But just because something is one of many other options doesn't mean it can't stand out head and shoulders above the rest. Star Convenience is one of these things - from the outside, a bland run of the mill chain convenience store. But they have a difference. You can get 5 naan breads for 1.90 here. You can use these for anything- pizzas, herb bread, you rule the roost on this one. If you live in the area, head on up to Star Convenience for a cheap feed.

The Matapouri Store has long since been Matapouri Bay's lone establishment. I've been visiting…read moreMatapouri for 15 years now, and it's been delightful to watch The Matapouri Store go from a tiny shop with candy, eggs and treats to a thriving hub of the Northlands community. Over the years my parents have graduated from summertime campers to retired permanent residents of Matapouri Bay, and the Matapouri Store has kind of grown up with us. The owners are happy to have mail and packages sent to them for those without mail boxes *cough* my parents *cough*, and during the summer it's absolutely bustling with activity. Ice cream, fish and chips, milkshakes... when I think of what makes a good kiwi summer, this is what pops into my head. A piece of advice - do your big shopping trip in Whangarei and don't rely on the shop for your basics. Granted, they do have an excellent selection of basics (perfect for a little cheeky baking), but you'll be paying a premium for finding them so close to home. You'll also find lots of fresh dairy and occasionally local fruits and veggies. This Matapouri store just seems to improve itself every year. I imagine it's the kind of place I'll be taking my own kids one day :)

Also checked out the local candies, cookies, etc. And of course the beers! Very good selection for a small format supermarket. Atmosphere - Good find. Everything I need in a supermarket/convenience store! Open 7 days a week from 7am or 9:30am to 8:30pm or 9pm. Catering available. Free wifi, I did not use it. Online shopping available. This brand is ONLY in NZ and proud of it. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. A little on the higher side, but that is the cost for convenience.

On another note, I had the pleasure of watching a security guard confront a shoplifting customer which spiraled into a full blown fight. Hate to see that but I guess they got crumbs all over the world... not just in the United States. And mad credit to the security guard who showed extreme restraint until that crumb actually put hands on him.

Here's my usual shopping trip to Oneroa Four Square when I get to the Island for a weekend away. Always friendly staff to point you to the right direction, prices are a little less that the competition. Of course they stock the good old budget 'Pams' brand, which, as Jamie Oliver himself did when he visited NZ a few years back, creates just as delicious a meal as the expensive alternative. We pick up our fresh fruit and veggies from here too.
