Payday grocery deals: Who has the cheapest prices this weekend in South Africa?
As South Africans head into month-end with replenished wallets, the pressure is on to stretch those earnings at the till. With the cost of living still climbing, shoppers are hunting for the best bargains to fill their trolleys without breaking the bank. This week, we compared 16 everyday grocery items at Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, and Woolworths to find out where you can get the most value for your money. Pick n Pay stands out as the most affordable supermarket for essential groceries, offering some relief for budget-conscious shoppers. Here's how the total cost of the basket stacks up this week: Checkers – R854.85 – R854.85 Pick n Pay – R864.84 – R864.84 Shoprite – R886.84 – R886.84 Woolworths – R911.84 Checkers comes out on top as the most affordable option, with a full basket costing R854.85. Pick n Pay follows at R864.84, while Shoprite and Woolworths are the most expensive options this week at R886.84 and R911.84 respectively. SASSA grant recipients can maximise their funds this month by taking advantage of special discounts and in-store promotions. We do not factor in discounts or card-holder specials in this comparison. When the exact name-brand items are not available, we use the nearest alternative house-brand. Due to fluctuations in prices both inland and at the coast in South Africa, the prices below are based on those payable in Gauteng.

Where to get cheap, VAT-frozen groceries this weekend in SA
As South African shoppers continue to navigate high grocery prices across the country, the recent VAT freeze offers a welcome bit of relief. For those planning to buy grocery essentials, the pause on the proposed tax hike could make hunting for the best deals a little less stressful on their budgets. We compared 16 common household grocery items across four major South African supermarkets – Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay and Woolworths – to find out where you can get the best overall savings. Here's how the total cost of the basket stacks up this week: Pick n Pay: R849.84 R849.84 Shoprite: R853.84 R853.84 Woolworths: R859.84 R859.84 Checkers: R892.84 Pick n Pay comes out on top as the most affordable option, with a full basket costing R849.84. Shoprite offers a similar basket for just R4 more. Meanwhile, Woolworths and Checkers are the most expensive options this week. If you're a SASSA grant recipient, don't miss the opportunity to make your grant money go further this month by taking advantage of special deals and in-store promotions. We compare 16 common household items to establish which supermarket offers the best prices, both on individual items and for the entire basket, this week. We do not factor in discounts or card-holder specials in this comparison. When the exact name-brand items are not available, we use the nearest alternative house-brand.
