Why SPAR is the best place to get your maize meal this week?

Rising everyday costs present growing hurdles for South Africans as they strive to fulfill their financial responsibilities.

The South African website is seeking to help enrich the lives of our readers, because why should you be paying higher prices at one retailer when you can save a little somewhere else?

We’ve got you covered with the latest in our series of grocery basket price comparisons between FOUR of South Africa’s favourite supermarkets.

In Week 16 of 2024, who will come out on top between SPAR, Checkers, Shoprite and Pick n Pay?

Let’s delve into the cheapest groceries this week and the price fluctuation compared to last week.

WHICH SUPERMARKET OFFERS THE BEST PRICES?

WHAT’S IN THE GROCERY BASKET?

We’ve compared 16 common household items to establish which supermarket is offering the best prices – both on individual items and for the entire basket – this week.

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