I know New World here in NP lets you set up a direct debit, and I'm fairly sure Pak n Save does as well. Some banks also offer a Christmas Club account, which you transfer money into, they pay interest on the account (which goes straight back into the balance) and isn't available until I think 1st December??

Last year I got xmas club vouchers from Pak'n'Save. Got just over $400 for the year just buying the odd $10-$15 vouchers every 2 weeks. Thing about them is that you can only spend them in December and after a certain date.

Our vouchers at Pak n save are valid for a year and can be used anytime. I have found them fantastic after christmas and New Year when you need a bit extra after all the spending over the holiday period

I would definitely look into esp if you are anything like me in the fact that having to pay more for something that you dont need too isnt worth it. Esp when the mark up is anything from $50 to $100plus.

The Pak N Save Xmas club is a goodie. And easy to join, just ask for a form when you are next in. You get a handy yellow plastic card is its very easy each time you go in.
On the Chriso/Mrs Christmas thread - I remember about 2 years fair Go did a special on value for money, and they found about a 35% price difference in what you get from them and buying it yourself. You pay more for the convenience and peace of mind about not running out of cash - but its quite a bit more considering.
If youre really crap with money - just join the Pak N Save club, then you only pay what you normally pay for items. Hope thats of help.

oh - look here its the Kilbirne Wellington PakNsave christmas club info page, but it is the same for each store NZ wide I believe. I am in Akld and the setup seems to be the same.

I have one, and it is super easy - direct debit each month, they add in an extra amount on top of that and you can only redeem the cash during Dec and Jan. You can even check your balance online to track your progress.

Our Paknsave in Lower Hutt xmas vouchers are given out in November and are valid for a year. Will pay to check with your paknsave as to how long your vouchers last until they expire if you are looking at getting a lot to last for a while otherwise def your best way to go.
