Spotlight for curtains and fabrics, Manchester etc, but always wait til they have sales. Save big bucks, same with Briscoes for toasters, vacs, homewares etc, again just wait two weeks to buy as they regularly have sales. Warehouse also for cheaper clothes and KMart too. Definitely shop around for any item, as they will price match mostly but good to get any discount. Remember to ask as they don’t willingly tell you but they will price match other similar stores. Once you start earning Nz dollars you will soon get over price shock because you will be constantly converting from SA rands for now. Best advice is to simply forget conversions, as you earn and pay in NZ dollars it will get easier.😊

Welcome to Whangarei. I hope it works out well for you. My only tip is to do your big shopping at Pak 'n Save. You will save hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. Countdown is more expensive, New World even worse. You are more likely to get a bigger range at the more expensive supermarkets but a packet of Persil is a packet of Persil.

Ooh Jinne! My sympathy. We moved begiining 1993, with two babas rhat we wanted to provide a better future for. But yes, its a lot of stress. It is best to take just one day at a time. I am so glad we did it back then. Our children are grown up and have grandchildren for me. So precious! The thing I missed most was family, but now as Ouma I have created family and have no regrets. Hope you guys settle in. If you would like like to connect, let me know

Noticed you had to go and buy tools, here the DIY stuff comes with a multi faceted tool. The stress free environment will kick in shortly, takes about three months, and life becomes even easier

Hayo! Hope you guys are well! My hubby and I are immigrating to NZ in Nov and are wanting to do a trip to Vietnam before arriving. I recalled in one of your videos you sent some of your things over with a moving company, is that right?? If it is can you remember what the name of the company is? We'd like to send our bags ahead of us and backpack through Vietnam :))
