TO NOTE

– We do not consider discounts or card-holder specials in this comparison.

– When the exact name-brand items are not available, we use the nearest alternative house-brand alternative (as stated at the bottom of this comparison)

– Due to the ongoing egg shortage in the country due to the avian flu outbreak, egg prices have been excluded from this week’s price comparison

– Due to fluctuations in prices both inland and at the coast in South Africa, the prices below are based on those payable in Gauteng
