If you don't want to rely only on the big guns, there are plenty of alternative grocery services out there where you can pick up your weekly shop. These tend to be smaller, NZ-owned and operated, with a keen sense of customer service. Here are three options if you want to spread your bets.
The Kiwi-owned online supermarket
Supie is a Kiwi-owned online supermarket that works closely with its suppliers to ensure a no-waste ordering. Their focus is on reducing waste – food waste, plastic waste and carbon footprints. There are thousands of products available from producers around the country, including farmers, butchers, fisheries, cheesemakers and beekeepers.
You can shop according to shelf, diet or values (no packaging, family-owned, fair trade, NZ made and more), and if you don't fancy picking and choosing, they also do fantastic deal bundles - mixed bags of produce that offer more bang for your buck, like a lucky dip for adults. You'll find picnic bundles, meat bundles and cheeseboard bundles, and the great value family vegetable bundle. Supie works on a membership basis – sign up for free and delivery is $15; buy a yearly membership for $99 and you'll get free delivery on orders over $70, plus priority slots, cashback deals and regular product samples. supie.co.nz
