PAK'n SAVE'S POLICY - New Zealand's Lowest Food Prices

PAK'nSAVE has been independently tested by the Consumers Institute to have New Zealand's lowest overall food prices every year since 1997. Pak'n Save follows a Food Warehouse format unique to New Zealand supermarket shopping. We buy and stock a range of everyday basic products in bulk, and because we can do this in such large volumes we can pass the cost savings onto you, in the form of New Zealand's lowest overall food prices.

You will always find great prices in store - we pride ourselves on getting the best deals by taking advantage of opportunities to negotiate in the marketplace.

We work hard every day to reduce costs in store - so you'll find that our plain style stores have no fancy floor coverings, no extravagant shelving or no expensive lighting. In our stores, we offer a practical and functional environment with wide aisles, where the grocery items are stacked on the shelf in their boxes so that it's easy to shop, and there
are lots of checkouts to get you on your way as quickly as possible. We do ask you to pack your own groceries, so you don't have to pay for any extras hidden in the price of the goods.

By reducing our costs, we can pass the savings directly on to you. We do this without reducing the quality of the products we offer. Check out our fresh food departments to find great quality fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, deli and bakery items, all at NZ's lowest prices.

KILBIRNIE PAK'n SAVE

Kilbirnie Pak'n Save was opened in October 1999 and owned by Brian Galt who also owned Miramar & Kilbirnie New World at the time. The Kilbirnie New World was closed when Pak'n Save opened & Miramar New World was also sold.

In 2006 Pak'n Save Kilbirnie went through a major extension, which added additional trading space & also the construction of a Pak'n Save fuel site, which is located behind the building on Onepu Road. Pak'n Save Kilbirnie also has over 300 car parks of which 150 are located in our underground car park.

The business is now Owned and Operated by Dean Galt & is 100% committed to providing not only the lowest overall food prices but also the freshest quality & the best customer service available.

At Kilbirnie Pak'n Save, not only do we buy our fresh products at great prices, but it is always fresh. We back that up with a Quality and Freshness Guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the Quality and Freshness we refund your purchase or replace the product free of charge.

SPONSORSHIP

We receive hundreds of requests each year to help local charities/organizations and we do our very best to try & accommodate these organizations with their fundraising.

We also run the Eastern Suburbs sports trust which has seen hundreds of grants given to local sporting clubs / organizations over the past 7 years. Click here for more details on the Eastern Suburbs Sports Trust.

PAK'nSAVE is proud to assist in fundraising for CanTeen, the organisation for young people living with cancer.

All PAK'nSAVE stores are enthusiastically behind Bandanna Week, selling (and wearing) bandannas at the checkout to help fund much needed resources for the organisation.

FOODSTUFFS

Foodstuffs are the co-operative New World, Pak‘N Save, Write Price and Four Square stores belong. Foodstuffs was founded in 1922 by members of the Auckland Master Grocers Association, who formed a co-operative buying group. Originally all the stores used the name Four Square, with New World established in 1963 and Pak‘n Save in 1986.

Together the Foodstuffs companies have become New Zealand's fourth largest business.

Three co-operative companies now exist, Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd, Foodstuffs (Wellington) Co-operative Society Ltd, and Foodstuffs (South Island) Ltd, each group operates independently from the other, but communicate and co-operate nationally on some issues. They are New Zealand's largest food retailers.

Each store within the group is individually owned and operated. Our store in Kilbirnie is Owned and Operated by Dean Galt. Click here to visit Foodstuffs website.

HOUSE BRANDS

The Pam's and Budget range of products are the exclusive brands of the Foodstuffs group. The Pam's product range of around 1,000 lines includes most of the volume selling grocery product groups in supermarkets. House Brands enable stores to provide a product to customers that are comparable in quality to major brands at reduced prices, this creates competition within the market place that would not otherwise exist.
