Woolworths Christchurch Airport — Attraction in Christchurch

Well then. T'was a fine summers day when i entered the store, but the clouds soon grew dark with the occurrences i was met with inside.

Strolling aling the dairy isle i happened across a glorious sight. There before my eyes lay a discounted 250g tub of the creamcheese, the yellow sticker ontop revealing a 50% off pricing.

Good selection and many items you might need before leaving Christchurch. If you need many more last minute camping supplies, try one of the mega superstores further away from the airport, but Countdown will fill most of your basic needs to get you going quickly.
