King’s Food Mart

This is the biggest range of everyday household items you can find in Avondale, the closest thing to a ‘normal’ chain supermarket. King’s Food Mart sell fresh and frozen vegetables, prices are ok from what I can recall — I have ran in a few times in search of one off items for a recipe I am in the process of cooking. They also stock lots of tea, coffee (only instant though damn it), coconut cream and milk and toiletries, all things I have personally gone in for. They also stock coconut oil for the skin and hair that we had never seen sold anywhere else before, it comes in a plastic bottle and makes a great gift unique ‘island’ gift for people outside New Zealand, we also have one we use in the shower that has a sandalwood scent infused in it, it is a bit too oily for my hair but my husband uses it as an alternative to mainstream conditioners.
The staff at King’s Food Mart are not overly friendly, but not rude either, just indifferent. The place generally has a line up of people at the one till, so it is a well utilized supermarket. They have a car park out the front which adds to entice customers too.
