Grocery prices are escalating at a dramatic rate and I am battling to keep up. If you feel the same, maybe you will find the following interesting. I have selected a few necessities and have compared their prices at two different stores; Pick 'n Pay and Woolworths, as these are the only two stores offering online shopping - shocking! A further comparison at Checkers will be done shortly.
The cheapest option will always be chosen.

2l fresh milk (2% or low fat) R14.99

*Most of the cheaper Woolworths products were from the new Essentials Range
Pick 'n Pay comes in R26.61 cheaper and if you have a Discovery healthy foods/credit card you are entitled to even more savings. Yet, I think I have made my point... GROCERY PRICES ARE RIDICULOUSLY HIGH! Good luck, good luck to us all!
