BargainMe in Christchurch has seen unprecedented demand as shoppers look for alternatives to mainstream supermarkets for their Christmas shopping.
“Many of our customers say they’re really struggling to make ends meet this Christmas and simply cannot afford to do their Christmas shopping at a mainstream supermarket,” said Shawn Thomas, BargainMe Owner.
“There is a vast difference in food prices in New Zealand’s mainstream supermarkets when compared with last Christmas, some shoppers say a trolley is costing them double. That’s left many budget conscious shoppers looking for more affordable options and we’ve been blown away by the number of people coming through the doors at BargainMe.”
The discount retailer's most popular products in the lead-up to Christmas have been frozen meat, frozen prawns, chocolate biscuits and ice creams.
