I must say it lived up to all the hype, but it does pay to research your prices before shopping there.
Most things in general worked out very cheap, at least 40% savings on most products, but some things may only be about 10-20% cheaper.
But for example, I bought a 12 pack of Watties very special Tomato Soups, for $23. The same soups are now selling for $5.39 per can at new world, to buy the same amount of soup at that price at New World was almost $65, thats almost a 65% saving!
I worked out that I easily paid my membership price just from doing one little shop there.
Biggest downside I found was the selection of products in store is limited, for instance you will typically only find one or two flavours of potato chips, but they rotate stuff around in store each week, so there could be a totally different selection next time.
Just shows you how much the supermarkets are ripping us off.
I hope they roll out more stores across NZ, the supermarket chains have had it far too good for too long, with the cost of living at the moment, its going to make a huge difference, the rumor ive heard is that we are supposed to be getting one in Tauranga. Saves me going to Auckland every 3 months or so to do a big shop.
