Reviews of PAK'nSAVE Whangarei
B.
Great choices, competitive pricing, good bakery and great delicatessen. Checkout doesn't pack, but that is compensated by the number of checkouts ooerating and speed of dealing with clients.
R.
A big, and great place to shop with a lot of ideas displaying goods.
The staff are helpful and seem happy in their own skin gud on yah.
I would shop there again when in the area.
J.
I was pleasantly surprised by how big and open the store is, I very rarely shop here. They don't stock a lot of items I would usually shop for but the prices are reasonable and it's very clean and tidy.
W.
Friendly dedicated staff making shopping as comfortable as they can under Covid-19 protocols, shelves adequately stocked and quantities well controlled to ensure enough for everyone to go by. Worth visiting and get your groceries. Shop local, support local!!!! Thank you to the team at Pak 'n Save Whangarei, you are fabulous!!!
e.
Very busy and can get crowded
Great place to shop. Hot takeaway food - roast meat chicken veges. Trouble is its cold by the time you get through checkout. Don't like that. Maybe relocate that department to front foyer. Can be done, lotto doesn't need all that space.
C.
Cheaper prices. Lot's of Check out. Stations
C.
I used to love pak n save however, like all other shops at the moment, prices are out the gate! I done a top up shopping and only filled a little trolley during $5 week and it cost the same as the shopping I done 2 weeks prior when I over filled a large trolley 😪 I'm definitely looking forward to prices dropping again.
V.
Big store, great variety. Perfect if it had self checkout
M.
Had heard stories that to avoid this place, total opposite. Plenty of space to move in the aisles and good range of fruit, vege,meat and your other needs.Service was quick and efficient, parking lot was a bit small so could be a challenge during peak times.
D.
Great store just picked the most crowd day to shop. Solved the problem just bought 12 items. So quick shopping and saved money.
c.
Doing the best they can with these crazy times. Please be nice to the staff, they are just doing their jobs.
J.
Amazing, place with friendly staff like Countdown.
Prices are a tad bit high, but that is completely understandable due to the pandemic we are currently in.
I saw my friends comment K. Hepi on here, hi. I wrote that message on his account and forgot to delete it. haha, he's a nice guy. sorry :/
but pak'nsave is cool too! Everyone is!
A.
Good supermarket in town. Visited on way up north. Staff very helpful which saved me wandering around 😊👍
M.
Value for money, but their meat is poor quality, I use another butcher. Grocery bill on average is $20-35 cheaper than competitors.
E.
I want to see a complete shake-up of the grocery retail options for Kiwis.
The Consumer Comission should be going into bat for us all.
Poor NZ'ers are being ripped off by rapacious non-competitive price fixing of too few suppliers
But Pak'nSave Whangarei was a good fit for me today. Friendly staff, as usual.
I'd just like to see more in my trolley for a bit less.
I still want the growers to be properly supported
And less plastic packaging.
Maybe a bit less for the shareholders, boo hoo!
G.
A good shopping experience but I couldn't find Longridge Pinot Gris casks......crikey, Kaitaia PNS have them
J.
What do I like about Pak n save?
Everything. Good prices great service and lovely staff
A special shout out to the wonderful online shopping click and collect staff. They take a huge amount of care with their selections and do a great job, they are pleasant and helpful. Not being a tech whiz I’ve sought help a few times and they are so patient. We travel from Mangawhai and it’s been very stressful being cut off during level 4 and they have been marvellous and reassuring. Thank you so much Blessings from Judith and Seán Treacy 🙏💙
M.
The security guards at pak n save awesome service fast lines shelves are fully stocked smiles around awesome price and what a wonderful service from the check outs workers thanks so much for your beautiful service
K.
Cool place but prices are high a bit but that is OK since of covid
I do a little bit of meming sorry in my other profile hat I left a review on here. Cool place otherwise!
I.
Awesome shopping, heaps of parking area, beautiful shop inside an out. Customer service is Awesome as well.
E.
Huge shopping across wide variety of goods.Excellent for all your needs.
H.
I bought pickled pork on Saturday and the Monday it was green and smelt it had in the fridge so no way so eating it getting sick. Not first time I had rotten from delli.
B.
Popular store. Busy carpark. Generally has everything you need. Covid requirements in place.
A.
I found most of the groceries I was looking for. There were a few items which according to their website they had, but I couldn't find them. I was concerned about the lack of control to the amount of customers going into the store. New World still has controlled queques going in, Countdown there was a queque, not sure how controlled it was.
S.
Easy shop and was able to get everything on my list, very impressed with the new carpark just awesome
P.
Too many limits on products. Nearly same prices as countdown who have no limits on products. Staff aim to please.
S.
I found prices very expensive here. This is a busy supermarket. Good range of products though.
D.
First time I've been in there for nearly over a year & I'll tell you it was full of covid patients
F.
Always clean tidy great discount best service, 99% greet you with a smile, fresh produce, product specials once / twice a week, we shop here 3 x per week at least.
Happy days guys.
keep the great service up.
M.
Excellent, shelves fully stocked, queue small and we'll managed, staff pleasant and helpful as always. A pleasure to shop there, very well organised.
R.
Very busy store well stocked and friendly staff

T.
Awesome found everything I wanted and floor staff great help and happy cashier service as well ,all in all great morning shopping thanks pak n save Whangarei
K.
Good practical shop for doing your grocery, friendly staff members and good parking space.
R.
Busy. Dont normally shop here but was with a friend. Produce looked nice and fresh as did the butchery. A few shelves depleted of goods but this could probably be due to delays in shipping. Clean and tidy and plenty of parking although we did find it hard at the time we were there
T.
The customers make this place somewhere I won't go again, the great unwashed... hand dryer in the bathroom was really good at least.
A.
Great place to shop , has plenty of stock .
D.
Best place for everyday large grocery orders. Shelf staple items reasonable priced, great bakery.
T.
Love the cheap deals but need more variety of baby foods
B.
Great supermarket good prices with space in the isles to pass people easily as well as view products.
B.
Great selection of items and prices. Lots of spacious parking too!
A.
A great range ofmproducts at reasonable prices. Will be even better once the car park is completed.
A.
Awesome the staff are very helpful and curious.
C.
Would like to see more online shopping spaces as they are a hit or miss service
A.
Very nice staff and good store.
M.
Nice big aisles with a trolley load of choice,BUT no self service for when you're in a hurry and what checkouts there are ,are somewhat crowded I feel.
J.
Pack in save was great I use to work here in 1984 but it wasn't pack in save then it was culled (Mark l'N Pack) in 1984 plus it was a smaller shop back then I'll never forget it (John Banks) open the doors and there was a lot of people that worked in because there were alot of special on just about everything plus they had a barbecue on outside and softdrinks it was great they had a lot of entertainment going on that day sometimes i was I can turn back the clock
F.
My favourite store but disgusted at the condition of the public toilet resently. Had an emergency need while shopping and made use of the facilities. It resembled the looks of a longdrop. The managers excuse was not acceptable, surely it's not rocket science to provide better service?
L.
Very fast service and nice people!
Didn’t have to wait in line for long was 10 minutes and in the door (:
Keep it up Pak’nsave Whangarei Team!!
a.
Mostly fair price as such, always busy, nice staff (Mostly).
M.
A big thank you to the happy young lad on the lotto counter late on Saturday.
He told me the ticket would be lucky and would see us in the morning to collect.
Yippee he was right we did have a little collect.
Thanks
S.
Always go there purely for prices. Most of the staff I've dealt with are courteous.
The old boy who collects the trolleys can get a bit boisterous with the odd shoppers but overall a fairly good shop
K.
would have been better if I didn't have the kid's 😄😄
M.
Nice big aisles with a trolley load of choice,BUT no self service for when you're in a hurry and what checkouts there are ,are somewhat crowded I feel.

s.
wasn't too busy when we shopped...store was clean and tidy with plenty of parking
T.
Awesome found everything I wanted and floor staff great help and happy cashier service as well ,all in all great morning shopping thanks pak n save Whangarei
S.
Amazing place to shop, cheapest in town. Just expect to see a few interesting things while inside.
J.
Good prices. Lovely staff
H.
A good supermarket this one here in Whangarei, somehow it seems to have what I'm looking for in stock, and the expiration dates for the items are always within range, also not to mention that it is always pleasantly clean including the toilets. I'm always greeted with a very welcoming hello along with a good chat with the checkout staff whom always seem to be very interested, engaged and very helpful I would recommend this pak'nsave to anyone...
s.
wasn't too busy when we shopped...store was clean and tidy with plenty of parking
E.
Whangarei lower cost supermarket. Best car parking of any local supermarket. Can be very busy. Reasonable selection with emphasis on 'own brands'
J.
Need roller skates to get around its too huge. No need for 12 kinds of loo paper is there? Competitive prices. Staff good.
D.
I get my bulk groceries from this store as it is great value for money. However, I won't buy mangos here as they are picked too green and go black before they ripen. Expensive and foul tasting. Staff are friendly and helpful.
T.
Clean shop . Good quality fresh food and well stocked shelves.
C.
Great service and had everything I needed
h.
Plenty parking, helpful staff, got everything needed. What more do you need when shopping 😏
H.
Nice it's good shopping for low income families
M.
Just want to say I got the everyday basmati rice 'urja' this week and I love the packaging, the bags are zipped, and have an inner bag, and the bag has handles, it is so not 'plastic' and 'one use' I love it, I wish more packaging and presentation of products was done like this. It feels as though a lot of care was taken with this product. Keeping the bags to use for other things; a bit trendy..... Thanks.
R.
Travel here to for our main food shop, best supermarket prices in the area.
H.
A huge grocery store in a good location close to the town basin. Easy access and exit to a large, free carpark. Just like other PaknSave stores with lots of bargains and specials if you look closely. The only gripe I have is that they do not have Self Checkout.
It is annoying having to line up when I only have a few items.
K.
Awesome meat and Deli section. Huge wide aisles and good prices. Carparks r very narrow for average sized cars
L.
This is a pakNSave. It's one star better than usual because it's ours and everything in the Northland is at least one star better!
A.
Its a grocery store with groceries! The largest in the area with the most product but not necessarily the most variety. Best for bulk buyers (but most Paknsaves are!).
J.
Well run, organized,stocked pac save.
L.
Welcome to Whangarei Pak n save lots of parking deals instore what more can you say the drop in venter when you need to buy food👍
A.
Very professional and helping staff.
D.
Good variety, good prices, helpful staff.
S.
Well pak'nsave is back to normal it's so good, shelves are all stocked there are no lines and checkouts are moving quickly. Staff are friendly and did an amazing job during lockdown especially staff in charge of the lines well done. It's good to have thing back to how they should be
P.
9am
In and out
Very quiet
A.
Most people like this Pak n Save especially those on budgets or cash strapped customers and/or big families. Meat is cheaper than other stores (e.g. steak $12kg or $15kg but in $70- $100+ meat blocks). Heard a complaint about veges not being fresh but find out for yourself. Kumara did have holes in. Typical big store attitude.
C.
Find it eratating to pack my own groceries after. Would not mind to pack it as cashier is ringing products but struggle at the packing counter.
M.
Layout is good with the specials right at the front and there's always good deals with the baking. Staff are nice too
R.
Wheelchair access wheelchair parking very cheap specials usually cheap anyway meat very cheap helpful stuff excellent place.
M.
Large, easy access carpark with moderately plenty covered walkways (rain and sunshine proof) towards the main shopping entrance.
Reasonably clean and tidy - I know wet, very inclement weather must be a challenge for staff on days like today.
Shelves, fridges and freezers mostly very well stocked with most of what you'd expect in a large supermarket in a busy city. Clean, well-represented products.
Pleasant, well-presented, efficient 'happy, busy' staff. Nice little visit.
R.
Had good selection of brands and prices. Was tidy and although very busy was easy to get around.
M.
Got Great fish! Snapper! A Treat!
B.
Clean tidy premises. Well stocked. Awesome prices friendly helpful patient staff 🌟
R.
Bakery was absolutely awesome ordered a chocolate pud cake with all the trimmings, it was delicious gonna order a bigger one for Christmas yayyy, the staff were very helpful and pleasant
D.
Its fine if not too busy.usually just buy bulk cleaning stuff...although if you like tararua iced coffee,its the cheapest around..
M.
Works out cheaper. Could be a tad cleaner but.
Can't have everything. Savings is what it's about.
L.
First time ever iI did an online shop. Managed to pick up ok. However sadly when I got home did not have detergent milk butter yogurt tomato sauce eggs and other stuff. Did not find out till I got home. I am an hour drive from Whangarei so was rather disappointed. Making a trip next week to get what was missed and not so sure about on line shopping after this experience.
T.
Affordable prices compared to smaller rural town. Defs worth a weekly visit.
T.
Enjoyed my shopping there
A.
New carpark is great . Online service is fantastic
M.
Great store with friendly staff
L.
Arrived at opening time, it's not as crowded and plenty of parking. Bought almost everything I needed. Got a lot of groceries for less than I would have at other supermarkets. Enjoyed my shopping.
L.
Good shop but some of the customers are a bit ignorant, particularly at check out level and misuse the express lanes bullying the poor operator but that's what you get nowadays. 😔
D.
I found the aisles big and spacious to move around as you shop around.
Which is very good for those on wheel chair or walkers prams
The fruit and vegetable area is impressive.
I encountered a good checkout operator who had a Smile which can be uncommon these days.
s.
Awesome service
One of Whangarei's best supermarkets for customer care
L.
Big, clean, well stocked and plenty of parking... everything i like about a supermaket. Added bonus it has a toilet for customers use and also has a lotto outlet in the foyer.
L.
Very busy lots of people around tomato bin @ $1.99kg. Was a quick shop for something specific and out again
Parking was not easy had to wait for someone leaving to take their car park
A.
So full of life energy.
a.
Huge range of products....good prices. Will start doing my weekly shop there from now on as l am going to a class nearby.
g.
Needs better monitoring of in-store mask protocol
B.
So many free spirited and gorgeous women oh and the bargains and service is out standing, Awesome as Bro" lol!
M.
lady in the meat department was very helpful. Lady at the counter was friendly. Vegetable prices were a reasonable price compared to one other supermarket I had visited and was miffed to find the prices at Pak N Save was a few dollars cheaper.
M.
Good lock down protocols. Shelves well stocked.
G.
8am in the morning, Quick straight through.
L.
Orsum plc no problems getting in or out and staff tops it thanku.
M.
Nice and safe

Lovely Staff, Workers are Orrsumm, Customers Are what they Serve to keep up orders and items they require. Cheap Prices, helpful Employees and Others round the clock. Smiles, and happiness, no matter what, They do the best they can for our community.
P.
good selection although shelves had low stock after weekend
A.
Cheap, monsters are good taste quality
A.
Great place. Doesn't have everything but the prices are the best and the people there are friendly and helpful.
m.
Staff were lovely 😊 were from Auckland and the checkout operators we had were very great to get along with. Great first experience
L.
Great prices & helpful staff. Only pitfall is that the trucks unloading products have a small amount of space in which to do so, therefore encroach on to the carpark making it very congested around those times.
C.
Massive store, but didn't have the lil cheeses I like. Made a dick joke and got a laugh from a fellow shopper: good food, better atmosphere.
Our checkout guy had a fire in his eyes and an obvious passion for his work. Great visit. Will come again.
S.
Awesome staff take my hat off to them having to put up with rude horrible people. We witnessed this today and the young lady named Maia handled it so well I would of punched the lady. But Maia was super calm and didn't let the rude horrible lady get to her. She is a value to your team.
M.
Yeah. My first shoping for groceries experience in New Zealand. Very comprehensive variety and selection. Friendly staff and well signposted and laid out. No worries mate.
S.
Good prices... should be renamed Push and Shove once you reach the check out.
A.
Brilliant !!
Plenty of proper plastic bags... almost worth coming up here just to shop.
D.
Love shopping here, great prices and service, along with a good selection of whole foods.
k.
Average. Shelves well stocked. Could do with a few more disability carparks.
R.
Low prices good service 👍
A.
More healthy staff please! Kohu road icecream and decafe cafe beans is missing from the shelfs!Can we have some please?
j.
Was an experience trying to navigate wheelchair trolley around supermarket. Think there needs to be a slightly bigger version as cant get much in them two trips to complete shopping.
T.
Quite a busy store but worth the trip for the savings..... Could do with a greater selection of vegan and vegetarian foods. Friendly staff and our check out operator...a lovely young lady made shopping at Whangarei Pak'n'save a very enjoyable experience
J.
Trolly full of bargains. If you plan ahead pak n save is the supermarket to use. You'll save plenty of cash when you shop smart.
C.
Love the variety and low prices. Only problem is, its so easy to overspend! 🙄
C.
It was ok. Just popped in to quickly grab a drink from the chiller at the front desk and they only had really random stuff like coke no sugar and the green lift plus. In all 3 drink chillers so I had to run around the whole store to find something more basic to drink but it wasnt even cold 😂
M.
Compare to the other supermarket , The meat there was not the best . But staff is very nice and helpful there . The bakery there is awesome , they even told me I can call up and order the bread i want in advance . Awesome service !
J.
This is a supermarket that has HOT FRIED CRISPY CHICKEN!! and chips :)
Otherwise.. it's a Pak'n'Save just like others.
N.
I love shopping at Pak n save but I always feel rushed because they have so many shoppers wanting your space or walking into your space you have to walk around them customers are usually polite and courteous so that is a bonus also there is never enough boxes to pack shopping in it would be nice as these are butter for packing into my truck than plastic backs are thank you
m.
Favourite grocery store, significantly cheaper and good efforts to provide upscale grocery items as well. Very convenient store hours, great meat and fish deals.
S.
I put five stars as i
was happy in the fact that they had everything I needed but I am very disappointed in the fact that they did not have a single hand sanitizer dispenser at either the entrance or the exit even the hand wipes that the used to have at the entrance were gone
K.
Awesome as normal great staff and prices
D.
Lowest prices in town on many things. But checkout is often very slow.
P.
Our usual supermarket. All good there. Nice staff. Good range
P.
Customer service excellent. Very nice people and helpful.
T.
Customer service excellent,well stocked,specials for essentials that are primarily basics are excellent,prices are very reasonable and parking convenient and covered
A.
Easy place to shop, friendly woman at the till, which makes such a difference👌
D.
Would've given it a 4 but our main purpose of visit was to buy flowers on a Sunday. Was disappointed as a non local that it wasn't available. Also, lotto outlet inside was understaffed and a long queue was developing
E.
Went in early to avoid the crowds but when I arrived there was almost no parking and the line of people was right around past the carpark by where Mad Butcher was.Extremely busy.
J.
Great selection of goods but went there first thing in morning and found I had to wait at check out for 10 mins as it was really busy with shop owners buying stock for their shops as some had 2 trolleys. Found that frustrating as I was in a hurry.
J.
They are never short of staff their service are quick and efficient they are well stocked, named, numbered ,
in each ale.Groceries are cheaper especially if you shopping for a large family
F.
Has everything you need for a supermarket: a good selection of good quality produce, food and general goods. Can get pretty busy on the weekends. I recommend asking the fresh produce department for boxes if you don't want to buy plastic bags or don't have your own bags. The point of the Pak in Pak'n Save is that you pack your shopping in boxes, but a lot of the boxes get flattened and can be hard to get a hold of.
C.
Would be a five star review if you didn't have to fight your way through produce at every visit. Apart from that. great place to shop.. best prices and wide aisles...
M.
Very good shopping here
L.
Cheapest by far, staff always helpful and friendly 👌
K.
Best meat and vegetables in town , and oh their summer fruits are delicious
T.
Tidy and clean, much better than other Pak-n-saves I've shopped at. Found everything I needed.
J.
Always my favorite Supermarket, great range & fabulous staff.
L.
I really enjoy shopping at Whangareis Pak and Save. The aisles are wonderfully spacious and products are well signposted and easy to find. The whole shop seems clean and well maintained. And it's cheaper than most other supermarkets. That's awesome!
A.
Cheap supermarket lots of parking. Boxes or you can purchase reusable or plastic bags. They do run out of popular items and sometimes it takes a while for them to restock items.
H.
Best prices in town. Selection a bit lacking but still the best place for shopping.
M.
My supermarket of joice. Like most supermarkets it offers specials and discounts on selected items.
T.
The store is typical of PAK'nSAVE it has its stock piled high with some being sold at a good price and other items being at a higher price than their competitors. The staff are friendly, but it lacks the atmosphere of some of its competitors.
J.
Prices are great, shop is clean and there are some very friendly staff in the store that will go out of their way to help you with whatever you are looking for . However there are a couple of checkout supervisors that either have a lot of bad days or are generally grumpy and not very helpful at all.
R.
Pak n Save had the best value. My go to Supermarket
b.
First time in here for many years! Great prices and good selection of most things. Will now shop here regularly.
M.
Good shop outlet but needs more customer friendly staff. Too many young staff always chit chatting and not paying attention to customers.
L.
PAK'nSAVE is by far the cheapest grocery store, I've found, in New Zealand. You can't get everything you might need here but it's great for everyday shopping needs.
I shop here to get my weekly essentials. Eggs, bread, milk, cream, cereal etc... They don't have a huge international section, but for those things I can't get here, like some international foods, I go to another store. Luckily, here in Whangarei, nothing is too far away so it's really no hassle to pop into another shop for whatever special thing I need for a dish I'm making.
Surprisingly, I've found that their meat is very good quality at PAK'nSAVE. I do use a butcher for some specialty items, but other than that I'm buying most of my meat here. If you keep your eye out you can snag a really good deal on meat that's getting close to the sell by date. As long as you're happy to make it that night you can really save a lot of money like this.
Since I've moved back to NZ, I've been pretty shocked to see how expensive food has gotten here! I really don't see why that's the case as one of NZ's largest exports is food? So I'm a little puzzled by the overinflated prices for produce. I have noticed that the farmer's markets are a much better bet to save money on since things. For instance, at Countdown they were selling avacados for $6 a piece! At the farmers market they were $1 a piece. At PAK'nSAVE they were $2 a piece. Please, someone, explain that logic? NZ grows so many avacados, why the huge discrepancy?
Back to PAK'nSAVE, I really feel that the store is clean and tidy and the employees are very friendly and professional. I love saving money wherever I can so I will be shopping here from now on. There's no reason to pay more than you have to. So I recommend PAK'nSAVE to literally save you more $!
E.
Like the savings and also staff are friendly
D.
Only 4 stars,not because of the place itself
But because of these frustrating time's (covid)
We all have to make extra efforts to keep ourselves safe....in which pak n save is doing...
P.
Pretty good selection of products. No baskets available
l.
New owners. The ambience has changed. Customer service is AAA+. Staff are smiling, connected, focused and engaged. Wow.....its a different experience. They have the 'x' factor in shopping.
D.
Have mostly shopped at Pac n save for the 14 years I've lived in whangarei however recently prices are steadily rising , most annoying recently was the huge 2 dollar rise in the price of tray eggs, then the swap from 30 to 20 eggs to a tray which also went up by a dollar a tray within a week of introduction, we are now paying about 50 cents less to twenty eggs than we did for 30. I don't like being treated like a fool by greedy new store owners so think newcworld is looking good, still NZ owned.
S.
Nice, clean and well organized. Good supermarket and well stocked.
G.
It's a first for me shopping at PaknSave.Don't normally go there but yes it was one of those days to go where everything was back to front. ..Love the set out ..easy to find what I needed. ...customers service was awesome. ..A1plus for me ..Well done PaknSave
J.
Was concerned with the entrance area where you grab your trolley, the area was very wet yesterday the 9/08/17. Any body mopping up ? Otherwise enjoy shopping everything available. Spent $300 plus
R.
Good prices on shoulder pork roast. Tip top ice cream. Tux dog biscuits. Whittaker so chocolate bars. Dog bones. Budget bread. Laundry powders.

Pac'insave Whangarei is a good place. But since new management i note a lot of increases. I love biscuits especially Huntey Palmer crisp bread. From old managment to new manament my biscuits have increased by about 40 cents a packet. "Why "? I am now finding countdown Regent to be cheapet for meat and dog food. My husband died 12 months ago and got look after his dog. But I notice things going up and up. Not very impressed. And lastly i love a brand of Gisborne wine. It use to chilled. Now we get warm. I have spoken to wine personal and his answer was they were getting to much theif. As they wont chill my average $$ bottle I hope there light handle people will take there $ 30 $50 bottles. Does not make sence to me.
P.
It's a big box supermarket, they have the brands I like and their prices are good. At least they are locally owned.
Y.
pretty good to shop here, they just need to start selling jaffa cookies now as the mad butcher is no longer and we used to get them from there .
A.
Great range, helpful staff, cheaper than others on most things.
J.
Always the best place to shop in Whangarei. Great staff. Great prices.
E.
First day of lock down 2019. Prices still the best. Health and safety of customers and staff managed effectively.
E.
Wonderful warm welcome and exit from all staff. A really easy shopping experience. First time back for a long time, and will be more regular visitors in the future.
P.
Very friendly staff,well stocked shelves and very clean.
M.
Have most things I need. Came from the busy city of Auckland so had a lot of trouble finding a lot of stuff but Pak 'n' Save is good. Lots of fruits and veggies we like :)
M.
The best supermarket i have ever been to. Has everything and great prices. Wish we had one in Australia. When are they coming to Aussie?
S.
They have almost everything I need and are reasonably priced.
P.
Lots of space to shop.Everything easy to find.Friendly staff on shop floor if you need help.Checj out staff friendly ,chatty,and helpful.A pleasure to shop there.
a.
Always shop at pak and save it seems a lot cheaper than the other supermarkets
s.
I go to the super market every week. I enjoy the products on sale and the savings I make. I dont feel anxious if I have to ask for something as the staff are all approachable and professional.
V.
Very good
D.
Very very good staff excellent 👏
P.
Definitely my supermarket of choice in Whangarei with good prices, service and relatively handy to home. When I'm shopping, I prefer to do so when the store is relatively uncrowded, but these times seem to be fewer and fewer.
m.
I like how it is set up so one doesn't have to go through the meat section to shop but would appreciate the vegan products to be further away from the meat and would love more vegan selections.
A.
The international aisle could use more variety of products
A.
Great shop plenty of specials didn't wait at check out
L.
What can you say. It's a supermarket. But still staff know there aisles if you can't find something
L.
A much preferred place to shop , the veggies are fresh a great selection of meats and cheaper than the other super markets
l.
Friendly staff. You dont get much in deals as in big cities but does the job.
B.
Pak N Save is very clean and tidy and has been hugely improved with the upgrade to the store. Great place to shop and everything you need including ready meals.
R.
Today we had ample parking, no queuing and great pricing.
N.
Great I'm entering a Curry competition on Friday and I was able to order the meat in preparation who took my name and telephone number and even offered to cube the meat for me.Now that is what I call service
M.
I love PAK'n'SAVE but the fruit & meat is never as fresh as Countdown or other supermarkets. Prices are good though.
m.
The Best place to shop. You totally save a lot in your pocket 👍👍
T.
I walked straight in and it was busy but the staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were great!! Lots of good specials this week 😁
L.
Had exactly what I needed. In and out. Awesome staff
C.
Convenient.usually..well stocked.
Good car park.whangarei so busy now..gotta be quick..
M.
Always a pleasure to shop here. Prices are always good, and they often sell a product you cannot buy in other supermarkets.
H.
Shopping was great but a few things weren't there, salad dressing in large container, all too small, your fruits needs to be checked.
W.
Pak'nSave delivers what they advertise. There is plenty of variety in product for choice. Its well set up, easy to find what you want, clean & tidy, with helpful, polite staff
s.
Love this shop good range of food and great customer service .
H.
Great Pak'n'Save in my opinion. It allows you to to skip through optional doorways to bypass the produce section if you are wishing to, which I think is a kind allowance from the usual long route that they have in all other Pak'n'Save stores that I have been to.
P.
Always get a bargain here, food is fresh and affordable.
K.
Lots of range and good prices although has very limited options for allergy alternatives and vegan products
Q.
Fast checkout...80c for a bottle of 1.5 liter mineral water...thumbs up👍
J.
I've always shopped at pak n save.
They have the lowest prices.
Don't stock everything you might want, but worthwhile doing the bulk of your shopping there and just getting the stuff they might not have elsewhere.
M.
Big shop. Happy staff. Swap this store for the 1 in my local Tauriko thanks
J.
Best place to shop. Cheaper than Countdown. Countdown does have some good specials too. But loyal to Paknsave.
S.
Still a great place to be.
J.
Have never been a pak n save person but am now converted. Great shop. Lots of choice
K.
Didnt feel there were as many discounted goods as i was lead to believe. I usually go 2 count down is my local. But i had a preloaded pns card so i used tht.
R.
Great food range. Spacious. Unlike osome other stores, staff wont pack into a box.
G.
Great experience all round , prices service & more checkouts so you're not standing in a queue for too long like some supermarkets .
J.
Pak N Save ~ best place to shop in Whangarei for all us out~of~towners; best deals specials & bargains. Heaps of parking & undercover parking as well. Usually always bump into whanau or someone ya haven't seen in ages, so good place to 'pop into' peepz
J.
Normally the cheapest for everything and normally by quite a large margin. Friendly helpful staff too
S.
Would have been nicer if check out person took a bit more care with groceries and spoke to us. A little customer service lacking.

Great food prices

M.
Always use my local Pakkies, seemed to save a bit more this week. Trolley was chocka and spent pretty much the same as norm. Love the specials!
J.
So glad they made it bigger. Even have ready to eat meals. Excellent prices. Good location of on holiday and staying in town. Good parking
M.
Quick stop for on the go.not where I normally shop but convenience and price make it attractive
h.
Great shopping, good sale on there this week

Great prices, nice well lit supermarket with big aisles and cooling in Summer. Be careful in car park, people pull out left right and centre.
M.
Always friendly service and staff. Happy to shop here while in the north.
p.
Busy busy place. The meat is pretty much all right. Nice thickness and fresh
A.
Good prices but lacks some products and meat packs too large for 2 people.
L.
Good items such as rocksalt, meat prices excellent, didn't have much money but I did get value for my money
E.
always a hive of activity but sooo many brands to choose from. great vìbe for such a hùge centre & such helpfùl staff. you can rush or ŕèlàx up to you😃.
j.
Got most of what I wanted but find this store doesnt have as great a selection as other pak n sav. They were also very low in some products.
N.
Always has a bargain or certain products cheaper than other supermarkets 👍 Carpark can get hectic, but first in first serve 😁
l.
Nice and big great selections of speacials was busy though but went through checkout quite fast
O.
Great place, great people, great prices. So bad that they barely have no real fruit juice, only dummy fake fruit drinks full of sugar and water...
D.
Good shopping but what happened to Fantastic Thinner bite black rice crackers. None to be found
K.
Great specials.
B.
Great shopping, friendly helpful staff.
C.
OK store, can get really busy. The entrance portion of the building where the fruits and veges are can get quite congested when there's a lot of shoppers.
V.
Pak n save is a cheap place to shop. Not good for a quick run in and out because it's a very big store and all your basic needs are in the middle of the shop.
G.
Had some great specials on pork chops
Q.
Parking sucks but competitive prices
J.
Well set out. Busy as on a Sat but not too long a wait through check-out. Shelves fully stocked.
k.
Usually a good experience. But 14 mths ago my mum slipped over on rotten apple on the floor has been in a lot of pain ever since.
K.
Does not always have what I want but same with other stores. Friendly staff an clean toilets.
V.
Good pricing compared with other supermarkets. Variety less available and sometimes out of stock. Otherwise very good.

Decent store, the bakery seemed to close early so no hot pies etc. available on Sunday evening.
R.
Low prices great place to shop

Love the fact that we get everything we want and more and is soooooo much cheaper than local shops. Worth the trip.
S.
Great prices and lots of choice. Their meat section is well stocked and is always high quality.
S.
Great store good size and well stocked and friendly team of people work there
C.
Always tops..5 star..but there is a young girl I always notice & worry about..young.& behind the deli counter...often has dark rings under eyes & looks very sad..it carries over into her service
Not negative..but worrying..think she needs help..
S.
Mostly great service. People on the floor need to smile more even if they are having a hard day
G.
Friendly service & good place to shop.
K.
Good deals and all but the cashier we had was a bit rude.
S.
Great produce, meet and bakery goods. Good selection of all other foods too

Great store, just doesn't always have what we need in stock 👌
R.
Meat over price compare to pak n sav albany. Fruit and vege no good.check out girls and wine guy very good. Need to invest in bigger car park

Submitted feedback about one of their cashiers, to this date no response back. Owners may need to be on the floor a little bit more to see whats going on.
T.
A clean, well stocked store.
P.
Cheaper than other supermarkets except meat
