Tips that save money and hassle
Don't forget the little habits that add up: write a list, check what's already in the pantry or cupboard, use the retailer's app for digital catalogues, and set a budget before you walk in. Most overspending comes from impulse buys at the end of an aisle or the checkout, not from the big items on your list.
Cost of living pressures mean it's worth looking at own-brand products. Supermarket and discount-store own brands are often cheaper than big names for staples like pasta, tinned tomatoes, cleaning products and basic toiletries, and Consumer NZ regularly tests them against name brands. Try the own-brand version of your most-bought items and see if you can tell the difference.
Keep an eye on the Commerce Commission's grocery work. New Zealand's supermarket sector is dominated by two groups, Foodstuffs and Woolworths NZ, and the Commission has published annual grocery reports and has a Grocery Commissioner. That doesn't change your till price today, but it explains why comparing brands, sizes and stores is worth the effort.
Check your travel time and petrol before you chase a saving. A $10 bargain across town can cost more in fuel and time, so use online shopping, a local alternative or a combined trip when the saving is small.
Know your rights. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 gives you guarantees on most goods and services bought from a business: they must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and match their description. If a product has a major failure you can choose a refund or a replacement, and for a minor problem the seller can choose to repair it. A 'no refunds' sign doesn't take those rights away, and a manufacturer's warranty is extra, not a replacement.
Scams love big brand names. If you get a text or email about a missed delivery, a prize or a gift card from a shop you use, don't click the link. Go to the retailer's own app or website. Netsafe (netsafe.org.nz) takes scam reports and gives free advice, and you can forward scam texts to 7726 for free. If you've already handed over card details, ring your bank straight away.
Timing helps. Prices on big-ticket items drop around Black Friday, Boxing Day and end-of-season sales, and supermarkets run a weekly special cycle. If you can wait, note today's price and check again in a fortnight.
Keep your paperwork. Save the receipt or order confirmation, take a photo of the serial number on anything electrical, and write down who you spoke to if you ring customer service. It takes a minute and makes a refund or repair much quicker.
Compare the total cost, not the headline price. Delivery fees, service charges, subscriptions and extended warranties can add up. Extended warranties are often not worth it, because your Consumer Guarantees Act rights already cover you for a reasonable time.
Price matching differs by retailer. Some New Zealand stores will match a lower advertised price from a competitor on an identical item, while others don't. Always ask at the counter, bring a link or catalogue, and check the exclusions: online-only sellers, clearance items and membership prices are often left out.
Check the unit price on food and household goods. Shelf labels must show a price per 100 grams, per litre or per unit, which lets you compare a big pack with a small one. Bigger isn't always cheaper, and 'special' prices on one pack can still be dearer per unit than another brand.
Use the right complaint channel if you're stuck. Start with the store and the retailer's head office, in writing. If that fails, the Disputes Tribunal can hear claims about goods and services up to a set limit, and you can report misleading conduct to the Commerce Commission. Keep screenshots, receipts and dates.
Consider the second-hand and refurbished market for big purchases, but ask about the warranty and the seller's returns policy. The Consumer Guarantees Act still applies to second-hand goods sold by a business, although you can expect more wear and tear. It doesn't apply to private sales, such as on Trade Me.
To sum up briscoes afterpay: check the official source, compare the total cost, keep your paperwork and use your consumer guarantees if something goes wrong.
