In hindsight we checked some of the prices here at home (NZ) and were pleasantly surprised with what we paid for most stuff and about 80% of what we needed we got from one store. Very convenient and most of the stuff was better than average quality.
And the staff were always friendly, helpful and well informed.
We are still a little confused by all the bad press WM get on this forum.

To tell you the truth Omatako, I don't know why people complain about WM...maybe they don't like winning companies? No one is holding a gun to their head to shop there. If they don't like the prices or service they are free to shop somewhere else, and sometimes I do, but it's not because of their service. When I purchased my electronic
navigation system, 'no one' was any cheaper, and I got another 10% off later through their Reward Certificate program...which I turned in for something else that didn't cost me anything.
