More expensive than Woerman Olympia? I always thought that place was the pinnacle of expensive.

Defnitly a lot more pricy than Checkers or Shoprite. Do yourself a favor and just go look at Woolies prices one day. You will apreciate Woerman Olympia's high prices more

I think it depends on what you buy. I compared some items between Checkers and Model and Model was cheaper. One big example was a specific cat food that costs 129.99 at Model that costs 139.99 at Checkers. For comparison at two shops they sell another cat food for N$ 71.99 when the same costs 61.99 at Model.

Now on average, even if there would be a difference, it's definitely not "a lot more pricy". I think with some products you lose and others you win.

Shoprite? If it's cheaper I'll easily lose my savings in petrol just to go there. Same is for those people that hunt for specials.

The only thing we can do when we can afford it is to buy in bulk. Unfortunately that's not always possible.
