Christchurch Tourist Trap Tips by rozehill

Corner Dairy
The corner dairy is a store usually found at the corner of a main street in the suburbs in every town. It has become a landmark and feature of New Zealand. The dairies are where you go to get your milk, bread, and morning papers. You can shop for other provisions and groceries as you need them. There is no need to stock up as the stores are easy to reach, open 7 days a week, and have no parking hassles.

At Least Do This: Shop in the daylight hours or before 22.00Corner 7 day Dairies charge a lot more for grocery items and all the other items they sell. Because these dairies are open long hours 10 - 14 hours a day and are convenient in this respect. Be prepared to pay a lot more than the ordinary supermarket like Pack N Save or Countdown
Alternative: Try the larger shops/supermarkets like Pack N Save, or Countdown as some branches are open 24 hours, so if you have transport go to these shops
