Elke rand tel.
From Soweto to Stellenbosch, from Durban North to the Cape Flats — every South African deserves to know where their money goes furthest.
That's not a privilege. That's a right.
The cost of a full trolley has never been higher.
South Africa is facing one of the toughest economic climates in a generation. Inflation, a weakening rand, and rising fuel costs have pushed the price of a basic grocery basket to levels that are genuinely difficult for ordinary families to manage. And yet — the information to shop smarter has always existed. It just wasn't easy to find.
The average South African family spends over R4 000 a month on groceries. A 10% saving is R400 back in your pocket — every single month.
Why we built this
Save My Basket is a non-profit initiative. We don't sell your data, we don't charge subscriptions, and we have no shareholders to answer to. Our only goal is to make sure every South African — regardless of income — has access to the same price information that helps them stretch their budget further.
We track prices across the major retailers so you don't have to. Build your basket once, compare instantly, and walk into the right store knowing you're getting the best deal available. That's it. No catch.
We choose to remain anonymous. This isn't about us — it's about your grocery bill. A small team of volunteers built and maintains this tool because we believe fair price information should be available to everyone, not just those who know where to look.
SaveMyBasket is an independent price-comparison service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the retailers displayed on this platform.
What we stand for
100% non-profit
We are not here to make money. Every rand saved by a South African family is a win for us. No fees, no subscriptions, no hidden costs — ever.
Real, practical savings
We focus on your full weekly basket, not cherry-picked specials. Knowing which store is cheapest for everything you need is what makes a real difference at month end.
Accurate, up-to-date prices
Grocery prices change weekly. We update our database regularly so your comparisons reflect what you will actually pay at the till — not last month's prices.
Built for South Africa
The stores you know, the brands you buy, and the economic reality you live in every day. This tool was built for you — not for a generic global market.
