FOR 29-year-old Arieta Vunita, grocery shopping is an important part of providing for her family and managing household expenses wisely.
Living in the highlands of Naitasiri with her husband and two children, and expecting another baby, she makes regular trips to Suva and Nausori for essential household items.
Arieta has been a dedicated customer of RB Patel Supermarket for many years, choosing the store because of its competitive prices and wide range of products.
“My parents used to shop here, and now I continue the same tradition with my own family,” she said.
As a mother managing a household on a single income, Arieta carefully plans her shopping trips. She usually shops twice a week and follows a strict budget to ensure her family gets the best value for money.
“With the cost of living increasing, it is important to spend wisely and only buy what the family needs,” she explained.
Arieta believes that preparing a shopping list before visiting the supermarket helps her avoid unnecessary spending while ensuring her family has everything required for the week.
She also appreciates being able to find a variety of products in one location, making shopping more convenient and saving both time and travel costs.
For Arieta, smart shopping is not just about saving money it is about providing the best possible life for her growing family.
