GROCERY GRAB FOR CHARITY

Happy ending for the Nelson Fresh Choice’s Great Grocery Robbery competition organised by the supermarket. One of the winners, Lynn Duckett, decided to donate the proceeds of her $1000 grocery grab to the Women’s Refuge. “Instead of me choosing the groceries, they chose what they needed,” Duckett explained. The refuge opted for expensive and useful items that could make a real difference to the organisation, such as washing powder and dishwashing liquid. Shoppers could enter the competition through supermarket receipts or online, and four winners were picked. Each one had the chance to participate in a five-minute grocery grab, after being assigned a well-trained runner.
