The best supermarket prices this week: Braai edition

Nothing beats enjoying a traditional braai under the sun on a bright weekend.

Sadly, the prices of braai essentials, from charcoal to boerewors to your favourite beverage, have sky-rocketed in recent months.

We are 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 braai basket price comparisons between four of South Africa’s favourite supermarkets – Woolworths, Checkers, Shoprite and Pick n Pay.

Each week we visit the supermarkets so you don’t waste your time and money and rather braai with these best prices.

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

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

Would you change where you shop if it meant saving money or do differences in prices mean little to you? What additional braai items would you like to see compared going forward?
