A good dairy, or corner store, stocks everyday groceries, snacks and drinks, keeps long hours and is a friendly place to pop into. The value is convenience and a familiar face, so a neighbourhood shop that knows its customers is a real asset. Regulars know that prices on staples can be a little higher than a supermarket's, that specials and deals change, that checking use-by dates on fresh items is wise and that early and late opening hours make a dairy useful for the morning commute and after-work top-ups. Carry a little cash for small purchases, although cards are usually accepted, and check the hours before you go.
For residents of Wainoni and east Christchurch, Wainoni Food Market & Lotto on Wainoni Road is a friendly local shop for the everyday.
