Cash and Carry / Wholesalers
OK, I'm looking to save a few extra $$$. When in the UK, I used to do some shopping at Bookers and JTF.......does anybody use the NZ equivalent...???....what is the NZ equivalent...???.....Are there any special requirements to go through to become a member of a cash and carry, here??
Cheers

Re: Cash and Carry / Wholesalers
The only one I know of North Auckland is Gilmours at Constellation Drive. https://www.gilmours.co.nz/home.html
I went in there once, a long long time ago as someone said I could use their account ( I think you have to be a registered business to get an account) and I didn't have much clue about how the prices were compared to the supermarket so I only bought a couple of bits. There's nothing to stop anyone going in for a browse if you wanted to see if it's worth getting an account. I might even revisit this myself, now that you've reminded me.
Here's a link to the Specials so you can at least see some prices

Re: Cash and Carry / Wholesalers
After looking at the link I posted above I would urge anyone to err on the side of caution, as you'd need to really do your homework beforehand to see if there was any real savings to be had. On just one example; Gilmours have Lupi Olive Oil in 3 Litre Tin for $30.99, I stock up on 1 Litre Bottles on special at P&S for $9.99 on a reasonably regular basis.
