Supasave Minimart is a dairy at 107 Highbury Avenue in Highbury, Palmerston North, holding a perfect five-star rating from its four reviewers.
A good dairy earns its place by being there when the supermarket run is two days away: bread, milk, butter, a paper, an ice block on a hot afternoon. Prices are usually a little above the big stores, but that's the trade-off for a shop you can walk to in slippers, and most locals are glad to pay it. Stock tends to follow the street: owners notice what gets asked for twice and start carrying it, so it never hurts to put in a request. Regulars also know dairies are where the small things happen, from a Lotto ticket to a phone top-up and a few minutes' chat at the counter.
For Highbury residents, having Supasave Minimart just up the road means a loaf of bread or a cold drink is never far away.
