It’s going to be a good time to shop around for specials - Woolworths/countdown downgraded their projected profit by 42% for the next years trading - so there will be good specials at Countdown for those that have a card - they are obviously going to close the 30% price gap between them and PaknSave - The Warehouse are doing well .It is interesting when the owners of a local New World decided to walk away as the business was no longer profitable - was an excellent chance for a new player who the Commerce Commission the duopoly prevent setting up in the kiwi market - but there are no takers - there is a good young butcher and a large mini market and 4 square plus the nearest PaknSave is only 8km away a $2 ride on Uber but the media headlined that the residents were being deserted - on Xmas Eve the New World only had six customers no business can sustain that .The owners have lost a lot of money but they don’t own the building so the landlord is looking for new tenants
Flaxmere has changed a lot and New World just didn’t fit there anymore
The PaknSave Xmas club is good for families - you can just add it on at the checkout - they pay interest on your money and then at Xmas have really good Xmas club specials
Nourished for Nil a group that distributes food has opened a social supermarket - not sure what the criteria is but the family goes shopping in the free supermarket with an trolle6 instead of just getting a box of stuff .
