The Common Grocer
We are a membership-based grocery co-operative based at the Remakery in Waiwhetu Road.
Members pay a small annual fee and give a few hours of their time in exchange for accessing food and household items at extremely low prices. We have staple items such as flour, rice, sugar, pasta etc, as well as other household items such as dishwashing liquid and epsom salts. We also stock free range eggs from Wairarapa eggs for $4.80 per dozen, or 40 cents each if you just need one!
There are three membership options:
Option 1 – Pay $1 each time you shop + work in the store 2 hours per month
Option 2 – Pay $52 up front + work in the shop 1 hour per month
Option 3 - Pay $100 up front
Only buy what you need -
Most of our items are available in bulk bins – meaning you can purchase as much or as little as you need.
Bring your own containers -
We are plastic-free and encourage our members to bring their own containers. We do have paper bags available for 20c each or sterilised jars for 50c. We also have a range of fabric bags available to purchase.
