Takeaway sales surge during load-shedding

South Africans love load-shedding takeaways

South Africans are eating out more in 2023 than they did pre-pandemic, with all income segments increasing their expenditure on takeaways and in-restaurant dining.

This is according to a study conducted by Discovery Bank and Visa, which analysed South African consumer habits from 2019 to 2022.

South Africans love load-shedding takeaways

A bit misleading, They eat out because they cant cook at home, not because they love it.

I love sitting and eating my cooked-on-gas dinner watching my powered-by-inverter TV by the light of my powered-by-inverter lights during loadshedding.

Yeah, we don't love it. We effing hate it. When Eskom started moving their loadshedding ramp-ups to the evenings, we ended up having to choose between making an effing fire or ordering from Mr D or Uber. And I can tell you for free that both of these last two options are effing awful.

Why not get a gas stove. Even a cheap 2 Plate on takealot. Will pay for itself quickly.

Just saying

We where using Option B for a while to deal with Stage 1-3 but moved up to Option A since Stage 4-6 became the norm. Option A is cheaper in the long rung. (R120 to refill 5KG vs R50 for 1 can)

How hungry can you get in 2 hours

Lucky you only get 2 hours. Ours is 3hours+.

So you leave work a 5pm and get home at 5:40 depending on traffic. No time to cook if the loadshedding is from 6pm to 9pm. Another odd 30 to 60 mins to make supper.

Tell me how hungry you will be by then.
