You guys are so cool 😎 thanks for even sharing your grocery shopping with us!
Thanks so much Therése 😁💕
Great video🎉
Thanks so much Henk 🙏😁
As a kiwi living in Las Vegas I appreciate you showing me home. Please try pineapple lumps and toffee pops I know you'll love them❤❤
Aw thanks, so glad we can bring NZ to your screen 🤗 how long have you been away?
Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely give it a try!
This is so helpful, lots of great tips and a good range of items. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching, glad it was helpful 😊
LOL, G+T lemon with the sticker still on it 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are becoming sooooo kiwi...
😂😂 oops!
This is so cool thank you - I also went to Pak N Save
Definitely best to do big grocery shops at Pak n Save 😁
Enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much Peter :)
In New Zealand, that fruit you called 'kiwi' is called 'kiwifruit'. It is actually illegal to eat kiwis in New Zealand, if you see what I mean.
Pretty much everyone outside of NZ and Australia calls them kiwi
I’m English and since you’re using our language it’s now officially just Kiwi 🤣
Luckily we showed an image of the kiwi fruit when we spoke about it 😅
Yeah, nah, it’s kiwifruit not kiwi
@@ellemcpher8835 Nah technically it’s called Chinese gooseberry, it was the Americans who coined the name of calling it a kiwi
Love the Shitaki mushroom chips. Awesome and healthy 😊
Oooh, sounds yum! Will have to try it next time 🤗
Thanks for the informative video :) I was mostly surprised to see you are wearing T-shirts in Winter! A video on the weather would be great.
Thanks for watching 😊
The weather has been really nice the last 2 weeks…so nice during the day with the sun out, but freeeezing cold as soon as the sun sets 😅 it was 8°C at Parkrun on Saturday morning 😅
The price of the eggs sent me!! That's so expensive. I like how you got the 3 bags of chips... I'm a chip person lol. The Gin is on par with the prices for Gin here in Ontario I think. But I guess it might be more here because of the exchange.
We would live to see the view from yr balcony!!!!!
I know, so sorry 🙏 we’ve decided not to share it unfortunately…maybe when we move out one day 😅
Can't believe you paid that price for Gin!!! Definitely a one drink a night price.
😂😂definitely!! It’s still cheaper than going out for cocktails though 😅
Tomatos 🍅 R90 for two 😂😂😂 that lemon 😂😂😂😂 the conversion will kill us
😂😂😂
❤
💕
Love your guys attitude always follow
Thanks so much Garry! We appreciate your support 🙏😁
Are we going to get a tour of your new place ... 🙏😊
Unfortunately not 😬😅 we might do a tour when we move out one day 😊
Wow, prices in NZ have gone up! SA also more expensive than a few months ago, but still way cheaper than NZ. We miss the shopping in NZ though.
Seems like prices everywhere have gone up 😢
Yeah an the minimum wage is much lower in SA too…
@@edjohn4590 yes, actually quite sad how low minimum wage is in SA 😳
Waiting to see the flat!!
Hehe, unfortunately we won’t be doing a video about our flat 😬 maybe on the day we move out one day 😅 sorry 🙏
Might be worth getting a Costco card for more variety & value options, Auckland currently the only city in NZ to have one.
We’ve been wondering if we should get a card or not. Seems like it’s worth it?
Love the channel! We hoping to move there soon from Durban, wondering if you’ve had any experience with the public medical care there?
Hi Lesley, exciting times for you 🤗
At this stage we don’t have any experience with the medical system 😬
Thanks for converting this into USD! That was so helpful! Grocery prices in NZ look very similiar to the U.S. so not too bad! Is Pack n Save really cheaper than other grocery stores though?
Glad to hear the prices are similar in the US, I think good prices are increasing all over unfortunately 😢
Yeah, overall PaknSave has the lowest prices 😅 (in our experience)
@@BeingBedingfield You should try one of the Asian Supermarkets. PakNSave, New World, and Four Square are all owned by Food Stuffs, while Countdown, Super Value and Fresh Choice are all owned by Woolworths, both large Australian conglomerates facing legislation under the Grocery Industry Competition Bill after various allegations and massive profits. There's also a lot of South African butchers in Auckland (especially East and North Auckland) if you get homesick.
Hi guys true the tomatoes are expensive. We also buy the big cheese block. Enjoy the gin on the balcony 🤗🤗
Hehe, so much better to buy that big cheese 😅 thanks Anneke 🤗
Tomatoes are out of season ie hothouse and therefore expensive. Best to wait.
Most of Pams caned fruits are from south Africa. Like fruit cocktail and the guavas😊
No way 😅 that’s cool!
Ah the cost of 🍅🍅 gets me every time!
We also try to find alternatives to chips...I love chips so much..they are too addictive! We've tried beet chips before, but not crackers.
Sorry to hear there will not be any more BBQs/brais for a while!
Lol, we’re going to try and start growing our own 🍅 😅
We’ve had beet chips before as well, tastes a lot better than these crackers did 😂
@@BeingBedingfield you should definitely grow those 🍅😆
That is the Pak N Save we go to 😂 They always have nice specials. Nice to make these videos, loved watching it before we came and made me feel better to see that we would be able to afford nice things to eat.
We got Costo card and in my first trip just buying basics , Toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, deoderant and baby nappies already made up savings to cover cost for yearly membership.
What also helps is having lemon, lime and tangerine trees in the garden😊
Keep up the good work🎉
Thanks so much for watching, really hoping that it could be helpful 😅
Thanks for sharing about your Costco experience, we’ve been wondering if we should get the membership or not. But it seems like everyone suggests that it’s super worth it 👍
🎉

Hello
How much do you pay for your auto insurance?
One can still buy more for a NZ$ than ZAR. Tomatoes in NZ are super expensive in winter....
We’ll have to grow our own tomatoes 😅 we just got a little mini greenhouse 😅
Eggs are super expensive right now because in 2012 the Government changed the animal welfare laws to outlaw battery cages, at the time 80% of eggs were laid in battery cages, so they allowed a ten year transition. Farmers started converting to colony cages or free range, but faced council planning consent delays lasting years, and in 2017 the Australian supermarket duopoly decided to implement their own rules banning anything but free range, after a third of the farmers had already converted to colony (some farms having spent $60million on the change already, others stuck with land shortages). Thus New Zealand is short about half a million laying hens or roughly 15-20%
PaknSave is still selling colony eggs. But where can we get cheaper colony eggs do u know?
I think the Gin would be a similar price in Australia.
😅 sooo expensive 🙈😂 but we’re really making it last, and it’s definitely cheaper than going out and having cocktails 😅
hi Guys, thank you for he video, I just want to find out is vat already included in the price, or do you get to the till and and vat still needs to be added?
VAT is called GST in NZ and is included in the price.
All NZ prices include 15% GST (goods & services tax)
Hi Otavio, the price on the products in the shop is what you pay at the till, so yes, it includes the vat 👍
@@BeingBedingfield thank you so much guys
Pls make a video of traveling/transport to work.
Hi Cindy, it’s a great idea, but Craig’s transit to work isn’t very long, it’s a short bus ride and then a short walk. And I work from home. But…we can do a video about the overall public transport experience 😊
Did I see right R87 for 2 tomatoes ! ? 🤪 🤑🇿🇦😁
R87 per kg…so 2 tomatoes came to R21 😅
Hi, may i ask what agency did you use for your immigration process? If you did use an agency. We are also from SA looking at moving to NZ but there are just so many scams, it's hard to know who you can trust.
Thanks❤🎉
Hi Karen, we didn't use an agency. We applied ourselves on the INZ website :)
Cheaper than Vancouver!😈
Wow, really?? 😳
Thankgod I only shop at Costco now, I got trays of 60 eggs for $31, got amazing American cheeses, and a huge bag of buns for $10.
Ooh, thanks for sharing! Our next haul should be Costco then! A bit easier to get there now that we’re in the city. So you’d say the Costco membership is worth it?
Definitely, I made the $60 annual fee back with 2 petrol fill ups.. if u do join and have a fab shop, great to see yr costco haul❤
I can't believe $31 for 60 eggs is considered cheap. That's over $6 a dozen.
@@shaunmckenzie5509 it's actually under $6 a dozen and still cheaper than pns, along with meat rebates, cheaper and more of a variety of foods from all over the world, electronics, optical and tyres all under one roof lol, and I don't forget how the big 3 supermarkets have ripped kiwis a new one for years, enjoy yr day
@@BeingBedingfield just filled up my 🚙 at Costco.. $2.11 atm..
Yeah, tomatoes without even a hint of flavour.
You need to start growing your own vegetables and put fruit tree's into pots so if you move you can take with you when you eventually get into your own place get growing you will save heaps and look at home kill meat 🍖 way cheaper you're need a friend with a life style block for that and there are a few rules to go with it too
We have a small portable greenhouse, unfortunately no space in a flat for trees 😬
I knew it its cheaper in south africa
Please guve tge SA equivalent to ur $150 in RAND TNX
Hi Gail, not sure what you mean? We displayed all costs in NZ$, Rand and US$.
Big mistake. Don't buy Cadbury chocolate in NZ. The palm oil makes it taste icky and it's sticky on the top of your mouth.
There is only one brand to buy in NZ and that is Whittakers. Any Kiwi will confirm.
NZ is definitely more expensive than Aus , +20% approx?
I thought these prices seemed very similar to Australia. Some things in Australia are higher.
Wow, that much? 😱
@@shaunmckenzie5509 it would be interesting to see some comparisons!
Your guy's shopping is way too cheap for that. You are lucky to have a park n save there where I live, I only got new world and countdown I am going to say when I do my shopping at new world, I am looking at $190 to 250. just for one person I went to Rotorua to do my shopping at Pank n save I cant believe my eyes I got all my shopping under less than I paid for all up my shopping coast me 90:00.
Oh wow! That’s crazy!
I thought there would be PaknSave stores everywhere 🥺
Alcohol is taxed to high heaven in NZ 😢
😢😢
Dudes. Cadbury is never worth it, even if they're paying you to take it.
We know…Whittakers is the best 😅
But we do still like Cadbury 😊
