Baby & Pregnancy stores in Auckland

“Pak’nSave Albany is one of the bigger branches on the North Shore, and it definitely shows. The store is spacious, fairly modern, and usually well-stocked, making it a popular choice for families and bulk shoppers. It keeps to the classic Pak’nSave model — low prices, minimal decor, and a focus on practicality over presentation — but the Albany location feels a bit more polished than some of the older ones. The layout is easy to follow, with wide aisles and clear signage, so you’re not bumping trolleys every few seconds. The shelves are usually full, especially earlier in the day, and there’s a decent range of both budget brands and the more well-known labels. Prices are, as expected, very competitive. You’ll find good specials across most departments, and if you’re shopping for a big household, it’s one of the better options to keep costs down. The fresh produce section is generally reliable. Some days the quality is top notch, other times it’s more average — pretty normal for Pak’nSave. The meat section offers good value and a decent selection, and the bakery is basic but has all the essentials. There’s also a reasonable selection of international foods, which reflects the local community well. Staff are usually friendly enough, though it’s mostly a self-service experience unless you go looking for help. Checkout times are fairly efficient, with a good number of lanes open during busy periods and a decent set of self-service checkouts for smaller shops. The carpark is big, but it does fill up, especially on weekends. That said, it’s well laid out and doesn’t feel like a fight to find a spot, even when it’s busy. Being close to other stores and amenities makes it easy to combine errands in one trip. One thing to note, like at other Pak’nSaves, is that what’s advertised online might not always match what’s in store, so it’s worth shopping with a bit of flexibility. All up, Pak’nSave Albany is a good choice if you want decent prices, a clean store, and enough space to do a full shop without feeling crammed in. It’s practical, reliable, and does exactly what you’d expect — no frills, just solid savings.”

“I absolutely loved your Portuguese tarts — they were the best! I’ve been looking for them lately but can’t seem to find them. Where have they gone? Hope to see them back soon!”

“Staff are super friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. In store butcher is one of the best around, parking can be a bit hectic at times but they're truly a part of the Birkenhead and wider North Shore community.”

“Good quality food with really friendly services. Good store size. Heaps of parking and right by the motorway exit. Good values too when on specials. Recommending a visit if you have been.”

“A really lovely young man on the checkout today. He's always so pleasant and friendly. Beautiful smile. A pleasure to see a young person who can engage in conversation and provide quality customer service...the pies are good too.”

“Handy shop stocked with pretty well most everything. Lovely Indian owners. Lotto onsite. Carparking right outside. Train Station across the road, public Conveniences also on roadside.”

“I went to countdown ponsonby deli and I must say I had an amazing experience. Well done Lucky, for serving your customers so well!! I asked for a special request for the sandwich and he was very kind and patient with how I wanted my food, he was working alone in deli, shame on the management for making the poor guy work all alone in deli, having to handle the kitchen but also the customers, well done lucky keep it up! Enjoyed my food a lot❣️”

“Great spot for Indian groceries! They stock Kesar mangoes—deliciously sweet and full of flavor. Plus, the prices are better than other places. A must-try this season!”

“Raced into Farmers (Nor west) to update my foundation. However I had my product wrong name. Any other assistance could have said- no, we don't have that, but Mina (beautiful Persian woman) went the extra mile to find out what I actually wanted, and sourced the product from another counter. Her gracious manner throughout, reminded me that purchases for myself deserve to be less hurried and to enjoy taking time for me.”

“The mall features a wide selection of skincare brands, including Farmers, MAC, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, The Ordinary, and more. Currently, there’s a significant discount event happening, which offers great value. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, making it easy to find the perfect products.”

“Went in this morning to get my 5 year old daughter’s ears pierced. Was a wonderful experience they told when to come back so that another staff member was there so they could do both ears at the same time. The side room had lots of kids pictures and a cuddly toy for her to hold. Highly recommend”

“Fast friendly service, very professional. A good place to buy gifts too.”

“This is a really great store. The staff are lovely and they have so much variety from organic spices to charcoal toothpaste and everything in between. They have lots of bin products of course so you can refill your own containers. I like trying new products every time I go there - this time it was vanilla bean paste which I'm having in my porridge. Yum! They stock lots of natural health products like the zero waste, plastic free Go Bamboo cotton buds. So it's a great store if you're looking to make more conscious choices for yourself and the earth. I just refilled my empty vinegar bottle and will do the same with my ecostore shampoo etc once they are empty. Check it out :)”

“This is my favourite shop in Auckland... They have an extensive range of organic and natural products, including fresh produce, all pantry products, and supplements and skin/ hair care etc. I love that this shop is also independently owned. Highly recommended!”

“Best Pak n Save branch I've been too. Their bakery is excellent offering fresh cream doughnuts, Leamingtons etc that many other branches are limited on. Also some exclusive bargains here, not available at other stores and a 10 cent discount fuel voucher instead of the usual 6 cents. Well done!”

“It's a lot bigger than it looks like from the outside. The grill in front of the door makes it look like it's shut, but it is actually open. It has a big meat selection at very reasonable prices. Alongside the meat fridges you'll find very cheap and fresh veggies. I bought some beautiful crunchy capsicums for only 70c and a whole bag of eggplants for just $5. Beyond that are some pantry and freezer items. It's a big selection of interesting and different Asian products. It's well worth a visit!”

“Full range of medicines and functional foods. Enthusiastic staff”

“Excellent service every time at Bunnings Mt Roskill. Clayton is incredibly helpful and professional. I often come in with photos and videos of items when I’m not quite sure what I need, and he always takes the time to look, explain the options clearly, and point me to the right product. His knowledge and patience make the whole process easy and stress-free. Truly great customer service.”

“The Manager Vic is really professional and responsible! Great service! Thank you Vic!”

“Shout out to your awesome worker Emma..she was superb...after asking 2 different staff for a product and was told to go and look at different aisles with no luck..after wondering around for 5 mins,bumped into Emma and she actually took me to the aisle and showed me the product and also recommended some more products...made my day..thank you Emma”

“One of the last supermarkets in Auckland who actually still provide customer care and service. The range is good the store is clean, however you will find this in most supermarkets. The staff are awesome, friendly helpful and polite. Even the guy picking up the trolleys was friendly you just dont get this anymore well done to everyone great team really A++++”

“Reduced to clear were amazing. Like a lot of people I'd been searching for the BEGA brand cheese slices, in particular Super thin slices. 65% less fat. I've been making sausage in Filo with cheese slice on the top for over 20 years, my kids loved them. Now my Grandchildren do too. Supermarkets arn't importing them anymore from Australia. This lovely Lady, The Manager. Was wonderful, it's a first in policy, I got the carton with 32 packets. She has kindly received another 6 cartons. Go buy as many as you need”

“Very big super store and also very well organized,”

“A great place to visit and shopping. Young lady is absolutely bubbly,friendly and absolutely knows her job.The other hand,elderly lady wasn't friendly at all and it's not nice to be served by someone not friendly at the front desk.[multiple times] Still 5 stars,not giving them lower stars just cause a person making a team down.”

“Always friendly and great service. Your one stop shop for most needs. Been going here in the past 23 years.”
