We compared the online prices for a braai at four of South Africa’s largest food retailers, with less than R5 seperating the top two.
Checkers offers the chepest braai in South Africa, an online price comparison from BusinessTech shows.
With the differences in taste, we decided to use the products used in Bloomberg’s Shisa Nyama Index, which, in turn, uses the prices of 14 ingredients from the Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice and Dignity’s Household Affordability Index. Other ingredients/products were also quite vague, so we took a common product, which we knew would be available at all the retailers, such as rump steak for beef.When looking at the retailers, Checkers narrowly beats Spar to offer the cheapest braai when comparing online prices, with a braai coming out to R661.96With several retailers offering the same products from different brands, we went for the cheapest option available.
For instance, while Spar offers Green Peppers in 600g packets, Pick n Pay has an 800g option. We see these as comparable as customers buy complete products.Spar also has separate franchises, so prices in one store are not always applicable in another store. We thus used the Spar2U prices for our office’s local Spar in Centurion.
