Countdown Supermarkets

Best supermarket ever. Very helpful customer service

good location for city as it is in the middle of queen street, but it is always crowded

Quite a big range for the small store here, gets crazy busy though so watch out for late afternoon/ early evening. It's a little tricky to find your way around as it's quite an odd narrow shape, but you find things eventually.

Got some great deals and especially 3 for $20. Place was kept pretty clean and the staff were friendly and nice

This place is small but still wide range of stock and much more convenient location than the bigger countdown near waterfront area. Pretty good fresh fruit and vege section for a small store. Try to avoid peak times (aka when all the city workers get off work and shop before heading home) because the queue can literally get as long as the store, all the way from the front to the milk/eggs section (though the queues do move relatively fast). Other than that, my go to supermarket for price range and convenient location.
