We’ve been collecting our grocery prices for exactly a year and since June 2022 a lot has changed. We started out comparing the prices of nine basic goods across four retailers: Woolworths, Checkers, Pick n Pay and Spar. That has now doubled to eight retailers with the addition of Food Lover’s Market, Shoprite, Boxer and Makro.For June’s new basket of 12 staple items, Pick n Pay was the most expensive at R505.88.For the third month in a row, Makro’s basket emerged as the cheapest option at R450.99.
