context_page_description: PAK'nSAVE is a New Zealand discount food warehouse chain owned by the Foodstuffs cooperative.
  Founded in 1985, PAK'nSAVE was the last of the three major New Zealand supermarket chains to be founded. As of September 2017, there were 57 PAK'nSAVE stores operating across the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
  PAK'nSAVE's key policy is to provide everyday food and groceries at low prices, which they state in their current slogan ‘Our Policy: NZ’s Lowest Food Prices‘. Stores are large and have a no-frills environment, often with unlined interiors and concrete floors. Customers are left to pack their own bags, however plastic bags are no longer sold at checkout. Customers are instead expected to supply their own re-usable bags. Many stores offer boxes set on or under a large desk where customers can pack their groceries for easier convenience. As of 2015, PAK'nSAVE was consistently the cheapest supermarket in New Zealand during several years of surveys.
