REVIEWS:
“The 5 stars are actually for an item from the deli department. The Spanakopita at $6.49 caught my eye. It’s large, I heated it in my toastie maker at home, and it’s the same size as two decent toasties. I don’t claim to be any sort of Spanakopita expert, but this is by far the best I’ve had. The spinach and red onion were cooked perfectly so that even upon reheating, they were still deliciously crisp. They were also, like the cheeses, generously portioned. I almost don’t want to leave this review, because I don’t want to find myself going to get one and discover that they’re sold out because I was rash and foolish enough to share the secret, but it’s not all about me. Treat yourself, I say. It’s also a handy wee supermarket, with lots of nice, friendly staff.” –Peter Malthus

“A good supermarket located in the Northwood shopping centre. It has all things that supermarkets should have and is easy to find as well as get car parking. If you need to go shopping elsewhere this would be a convenient place to get your groceries plus other things you may want to buy! Like all supermarkets these days it’s clean, tidy and well-stocked. It’s worth noting as a finishing comment and because there some major retail outlets there are also there car parking can get tight.” –Murray Quartly

REVIEWS:
“This is quite a busy store on Moorhouse Avenue. It is one of the bigger PAK’nSAVE stores in Christchurch and provides a great shopping experience. The prices of many items are a bit lesser than other stores, so it offers great value for money. Shopping trolleys here are newer than at other locations and more billing counters are operational here than at other PAK’nSAVE stores. We can find pretty much everything one would expect to find at a supermarket, here. The parking space outside this store is huge.” –Rineet Subramanian
