I entered PnP planning on only buying a loaf of bread and I left with R150 worth of stuff ... and not much to really eat or enjoy among it.
 
On a side note, when Is PnP going to change the queue system to a bank style one like Spar has? So much more efficient.

A rule of shopping - eat before you go shopping, and buy only what you came to buy.

We do all our shopping at the end of the month, so that we don't need to go back to the shops repeatedly.
 
I went into PnP at lunchtime to buy lightbulbs, and came out having spent almost R300... but it was all stuff I needed anyway. (Ok, not the choc-mint muffin mix, but everything else ;))
 
I really like grocery shopping, always have.

No i dont wear a skirt.

Skaboodling up and down the isles, looking at what new goodies their are, and looking with less admiration at the drastic increase in price.

And of course we get to the till and either we pay a lot more, or we just buy less.
 
I hate it when the supermarkets have a common item not in stock. How can Spar have Butterscotch Ouma Rusks and other flavours but the PnP Hyper has only one single muesli flavour :rolleyes:
 
I want to start a trend : If you see a product on the shelves, but cannot find the price, put one of the products nicely on the floor. Eventually they'll catch on and start pricing all of their products.

Even better:

Unpack everything from the shelve onto the floor. If no one comes to ask "Wtf?" then just walk on... If someone does come ask "Wtf?", then just say, "Oh, I was looking for the price. I thought is might be all the way behind everything"...

Good idea! PnP seems to get around their price guarantee* by not having any prices on the shelves. Similar to how MetroRail cut down crime on trains a few years back by cancelling a lot of trains.

(*You know, the one where if the price on the shelf is different to the price scanned, you get it free)
 
Guess what, General manager for PNP foods in CT was just on radio.

Expect more increases.

He said the food companies were already approaching them for increase in pricing for Dec and Jan. And they are coming up with all sorts of excuses with why they want (need) an increase.
 
That is why I shop around. I used to do all my shopping at pnp, but now buy from other shops as well, as they aren't the cheapest anymore. I often look out for specials (via flyers in local free newspaper or left in mailbox).
