Located in Wellington, New Zealand, it was chock full of identifiable groceries for a visitor for…read morethe US, and at comparable prices. I really had a good time slowing walking the aisles identify items and see how much they were. There are two major supermarket chains in New Zealand: Foodstuffs (New World, Pak'n'Save, FourSquare) and Woolworths (Countdown). This was the second grocery store we visited on our cruise tour through NZ, and this one was significantly bigger. It pretty much had every item a traveler or local would need, and the prices were comparable to US prices (once accounting for the currency exchange). There were also quite a few Asian specific items, ones that I would only find in an Asian grocery store in the states. My brother was searching for very high UMF Honey and he found the place where it would be...but they were sold out.

Inside, bakery, prepared sandwiches and salads and lots of ready-to-eat stuff. Beyong that, pretty much a full grocery. Cleaning supplies and cooking stuff and cereal and produce and meats (it's not a full butchery, this is done offsite) and frozen and beverages. Self-checkout worked quite well and I was able to put my stuff in my backpack and not buy another reusable shopping bag. [Review 455 of 2024 - 106 in New Zealand - 21488 overall]

So the time I saved in checkout was more than spent wandering around the store looking for what I wanted. But overall a great place to pick up minor items like bottled water and snacks.

I happened onto the V1 Vegan Store by chance -- and was super excited to see so many excellent New…read moreZealand-produced vegan items. I bought some groceries for use while I was in Wellington, and also stocked up on the NZ-produced vegan butterscotch and caramel sauces to take home. I'm also now a huge fan of Stir (a NZ brand) instant almond milk turmeric chai. The owner was super friendly and even recommended that I check out the "Vegan Vault" evening market -- he annotated a map for me and sent me on my way and I was so happy to get that recommendation (see other Yelp review!). Keep up the good work!
