      Hi 👋 thanks for your comment 😊
      I’ve actually visited Dunedin…when I worked on a cruise ship 😅 I can’t remember much though (it was loooong ago 🙈)
      Congratulations on your son’s engagement 😊 I’m sure his fiancé has some interesting stories about SA!
      We seriously can’t wait to go visit South Island…actually, anywhere south of Auckland would be great 😅 Craig needs to build up more leave days first 🙈

    Hey guys, this episode really gave a good picture of your new life 😊 I also would leave some shoes for good coffee ☕😁
    I was surprised to see a KMart! Most locations in the states have closed.
    That is pretty crazy your camera is still picking up the radio 📻 very frustrating when filming and expecting to use the audio 😣 I had not hear of that before you started experiencing it!
    Chantal I would go shopping with you and film a vlog 😁 if only we weren't so far away 😞

    The MAIN PROBLEM & MOST ENOYING with New World & Pak n Sav is being owner operated is the stock on the shelves can be different as the owners sell what they want. What's at one store might not be at another.

    Fun video! Wow Craig mowing the lawn on your lunch hour Bravo! There are maybe only 20 Kmarts left in the US they were very popular 20-30 years ago. You might enjoy New Zealand TH-camrs Danger and Stacy we’ve been following them for years. Great job guys! ~Cara 😊

    @celben8464 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Enjoyed the video thanks. What we loved about NZ is that they have (or had?) one type of electrical plug. Not those silly two point plugs in SA. K-Mart reminds us of the Mr Price group and The Warehouse a little of Makro. But Makro has definitely changed in that it's not cheaper to buy bulk anymore. Also they don't seem to have the variety that Warehouse has. We used to find the variety of dairy products in NZ so amazing. Can you please show whether there is still such a big variety in yoghurts and Ice Cream flavours? Thx😀

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much! We also like that it’s one type of plug 😊
      We haven’t seen a big variety in yoghurt, but love all the ice cream flavours…especially hockey pockey 🤗😅 we’ll try and show it in a future video 👍🙏

    Pak n Sav and New World are both the same really as they are both owner operated under the Foodstuffs banner but Pak n Sav is more unpacked and display. Countdown is wholly-owned by Progressive Enterprises which is Australian and more higher end.
