PAK'nSAVE Westgate

This supermarket got heaps on specials. Did some small shopping from here. Customer service was nice. The supermarket looks clean and tidy. Fully stocked. It has an ATM inside. You can fuel up here. Public toilet here.

Pak’nSave Westgate is a newer and tidier branch that still sticks to the chain’s signature no-frills vibe. It’s built for budget shoppers, but it feels a bit more modern compared to some of the older locations. If you’re in the West Auckland area, it’s one of the better options when it comes to balancing affordability with a clean, roomy shopping experience.nnThe store is spacious, well laid out, and usually well-stocked. Aisles are wide, which helps with the flow of foot traffic even during peak hours. It’s still a very practical setup — shelves packed high, lots of bulk products, and nothing fancy in terms of presentation — but everything’s easy to find.nnPrices are, as always with Pak’nSave, the main draw. You can save quite a bit here, especially on pantry staples, meat, and cleaning products. The produce section is usually decent, with a good range of fruit and veg, though the freshness can still vary day to day. The meat section offers plenty of variety at a decent price point, and the bakery’s got all the basics — bread, rolls, and the usual treats.nnStaff are generally helpful if you approach them, though it’s still a self-service kind of environment. Don’t expect heaps of interaction, but they’ll assist you if you ask. The checkout area is usually well-staffed, and self-service options are available for smaller shops. Queues move fairly quickly even when it’s busy.nnParking is pretty good at Westgate. There’s plenty of space, and it’s easy to get in and out of the carpark compared to other branches. Being part of a large shopping complex also means you can tick off other errands while you’re in the area.nnJust like other Pak’nSaves, you might find some differences between what’s online and what’s actually in store, so it’s best to shop with a bit of flexibility.nnOverall, Pak’nSave Westgate is a strong performer. It’s clean, spacious, and reliable for those who want to get a big shop done without overspending. It’s still a no-frills setup, but it feels a little more polished than the older branches, which makes for a smoother experience all round.

I bought two broccolis from Paknsave Westgate today, and after bringing them home, I cooked one to prepare for my lunch box the next day. However, as I was preparing it, I was horrified to discover that the broccoli was infested with a TON of mites, and to make matters worse, there was even worm in it! Instead of the healthy, fresh produce I expected, I ended up with a pot of mites soup! This is absolutely DISGUSTING and UNACCEPTABLE!!!nnAs a customer, I trust that the items I purchase from your store are SAFE and suitable for consumption. To find such an infestation in something as basic as broccoli is not only concerning but also a MAJOR HEALTH RISK! I am deeply disappointed, as this experience has made me question the quality control measures you have in place for your fresh produce products!nnI urge you to take immediate action to inspect the rest of your stock to ensure this doesn’t happen to other customers.

Just bought this product in September and noticed the expiry date was July of the same year. Luckily it wasn’t too long ago.

No trolleys or hand baskets at actual entry during our recent Saturday visit, so make sure to get them from the parking garage. Some decent specials compare to Costco, and nearly always better than New World or Woolworth’s pricing, but the selection of nice deli meats is lacking.
