A good dairy, or corner store, stocks everyday groceries, snacks and drinks, is open long hours and often sells hot food and takeaways as well. The value is convenience and a friendly face, so it helps to know what is on the shelves and whether the shop serves hot food at certain times. Regulars know that prices on staples can be a little higher than a supermarket's, that checking use-by dates on fresh and discounted items is wise, that it is polite to ask staff before handling items in a small shop and that reading recent reviews helps you decide whether a particular dairy suits you. Check the total before you pay, carry a little cash in case of card limits and ask about any takeaway menu.
For anyone in Favona and south Auckland, Gadsby Supermarket on Gadsby Road is a local dairy for groceries and hot takeaways.
