The Full Story
Bread remains one of the highest weekly costs for SASSA grant recipients, and this week’s catalogue specials show real differences between retailers. Here’s the full breakdown.
Boxer’s Brown Bread (Unsliced) is priced at R10.99, the cheapest loaf found across five major retailers this week, but the special is limited to Gauteng stores only, valid 23 July to 10 August. Pensioners outside Gauteng won’t be able to access this price, so it’s worth checking with a local branch first.
Boxer’s and Shoprite other bread deals
White bread costs more everywhere
White bread pricing is fairly consistent across the three chains, so location and loyalty programmes may matter more than the sticker price here.
For pensioners without access to a Boxer branch, Shoprite and Pick n Pay remain the most reliable value on brown bread this week. Shoppers should confirm current pricing and regional availability at their nearest store, as catalogue specials can vary by branch and change weekly.
