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]

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.

You can hear a lot of languages and many people asking what to do with some previously unknown fruit. The market really is in two sections. One is the fresh fruits and vegetables. The other is a good food truck area. Shop carefully in the fresh section. First, the stands near the entrances tend to be more expensive than those inside. I think it is because they hope to catch folks who are browsing. Second, look carefully about how fresh things are. You can easily find items that look like they are a day or two away from rotting. I am guessing that these are items that didn't sell to local restaurants. But, if you look, you can avoid this trap. It is a good idea to bring your own bag, or even better, a backpack. The food truck section is a lot of fun. Many sandwiches, ethnic dishes and more. I suggest you walk down eyes entire row is trucks before deciding. There are no particular ones to recommend, it has a lot to do with your mood. So, enjoy your Sunday.
