While doing a websearch looking for one in Auckland nearer than Browns Bay, I found this

It even has the chip shop curry sauce granules and no added sugar Alpen!

Ooohhh, sounds promising, Colemans do it :nice1 (and I just found a Fresh Choice up the road in Parklands :clap )

I'm going to ring the shop and ask if they'll give discount % to people from the ENZ site (hey, they're gonna need all the promo they can get :D )

Please do - we're going to need it. The rest of the family are currently huddled around another PC and I can hear them positively salivating. Every few seconds there's a cry of 'Haribos' or 'Hob Nobs' etc etc. You'd think that it was Christmas :laugh

The prices seem steep but I must admit that the thought of a packet of Walkers crisps (cheese and onion) is tempting...

Pity they can't import Pork Farms or Walkers pork pies...

Careful Moorf - you'll need to do some overtime to fund your UK food addiction!! :laugh :laugh

I've already noted the mini packs of Jammie Dodgers that my kids love!! Hmmm! Might be a stopping place when we visit the rellies in Chch.

Tanya - I think he was making up for his cock-up re cinema!! ;) (altho he has admitted that he also bought a Curly Wurly and a bag of Walkers Cheese and Onion for his afternoon smoko!!) :roll

Debs - we did debate just how often we'd be able to visit the shop - only problem is, it's almost opposite where Warren works!! :eek:

If anyone wants me to pick up and ship anything to them in NZ I'm more than happy to do so :nice1

Well, I hope you guys in Chch like Scampi Fries :uhoh cos that's the freebie you'll get at the new outlet of Bramptins on Riccarton Road - but only if you mention ENZ and if you buy something!!

Apparently they have already sold out of some items !! (obviously not Scampi Fries :laugh )

When I came home from town on Saturday with a packet of McVites Hob Nobs and a packet of genuine McVites Digestives all the family wanted to know what the 'new' shop was like, what they had in, did they have this or that, etc etc.

They wouldn't believe me when I told them I'd picked up the biccies for $1.99 a packet each in PaknSave Moorhouse Ave! A tad cheaper than up in Riccarton ($6.95 and $4.95 respectively)!

:laugh :laugh

Once we finished the McVities the concensus was that Tim Tams were a more than satisfactory substitute!

But try telling Woz that any other brand of bacon crisp can replace Frazzles :no :laugh

He's right, frazzles rock (or was it fraggle rock) anyway I digress, I prefer tim tams to hob nobs, although genuine tunnocks tea cake would go down well right now....

Are they the ones with the red and silver wrapper? If so, I saw them in the shop!!

Yup thats the ones.....

I think I may need to do the drive up to Browns bay, as they have a branch up there, bit of a trek, but its a nice weekend outing! Mallow puffs are just NOT the same...
