Food Prices

Hi

Went grocery shopping today. Is it just me or are food prices becoming totally ridiculous? Its definitely a very worrying factor....

inflations a bitch.

Without buying any crap, our diet budget is around R5k a month.

Its always the healthy food that is overpriced.

She is a monster....I know its not cheap but if u shop at butcheries for meat and eggs it does make things slightly cheaper if u have cheap enough butchers around... The rest is still a killer for the pocket

Hopefully WallMart will be able t make food a bit more affordable Im not expecting it to be dirt cheap just more affordable than it is now. Cant

Dont get me started on Walmart, still cant believe they were allowed to takeover Massmart. They will destroy our GDP and food prices will only be cheap in the shortrun, in the long run after they've put everyone else out of business prices will be sky high

I couldn't agree more, we also spend around R5/R6 k a month, however guys wife and i have been buying our meet from Macro in Woodmead JHB.... to give you guys some ideas

Rump @ Pick and pay = R98 p/kg as at Macro it's R78p/kg
Sirloin @ Pick and pay = R98 p/kg as at Macro it's R78p/kg
Fillet @ p&p = R150 p/k as at Macro its R112.

tuna is also ridiculously cheap as you buy in bulk i think you can only buy a pack of 6 tins and it works out much cheaper.

and the mince is also around R20/R30 cheaper.

also the meat is freshly cut.... maybe give them a try....

yeah its predicted to hit 6% by the end of the year :woohoo:

Thanks Morphosis, I didn't know Macro sold meat.

1 x 24eggs
1 x bag of brocolli
2 x Energade 1 litre bottles


= R122.00

:S

Just find a bulk butchery, we have a couple on the West Rand and I buy lean mince for R225 for 5kg, Fillet @ R95/kg

So just shop around a bit

Find a good Butcher and negotiate a price based upon the quantities you order.

I pay R32.50/kg Chicken Breasts, fantastic quality.
R70/kg Sirloin Steak Yes A Grade.

The rest just buy on special at Spar or P&P when they are on its usually at least once a month you get deals on Tuna etc. Buy bulk at Makro and save further.

Is this in Jhb?
Which butcher is this?

I don't want to be paying 53R/kg at PnP anymore.

Any advice where I can get the cheapest chicken breasts in Jhb, preferably around Randburg.

Dude, you don't need to ask the same question in four bloody threads.
