A big, budget-focused PAK'nSAVE on Taurikura Drive in Tauriko, Tauranga, that many shoppers come a fair distance to use. The store says its aim is New Zealand's lowest food prices, and visitors agree the prices are decent and the specials are good. The weekly $3, $2 and $1 deals are on offer, along with the Makeaways range of ready food and the Pams pantry aisles. The fresh fruit and vegetables get praise, as does the cleanliness of the store, which is often mentioned. One shopper describes it as big and clean, with everything needed. The deli is small, but a hot ready meal can be bought there. Shoppers praise the friendly staff. The main complaint is stock: on one visit, the week of New Year's Eve, many items were out of stock, including staples such as milk and some fruit and vegetables, and only the more expensive ranges were on the shelves. Our pick in Tauriko for a budget shop with good fresh produce, as long as you shop on a quieter day.
