You could be saving 14% on groceries

The Drive with Rob and Roz wants to understand why living costs are rising, so Jacaranda FM Newscast Editor, Christelle du Toit, will be doing some shopping every month. The team has drawn up a basic basket of groceries that, while not representative of a full month's - or even week’s – need, will be serving as a benchmark for how much the price of basic goods is changing every month. Each payday (the 25th of the month, for most South Africans), we will be shopping the same basket at three major retailers that offer online shopping – delivery costs are not included in the basket, and the retailers are Checkers, Pick ‘n Pay, and Woolworths.
