Yes, some brands within Woolworths are their own business entities, like sunglass hut who they bought from Edgars but are more of a concession stand.

When you walk into the country road section you are actually walking into another shop completely. You can pay at the same till but returns actually have a separate process.

Since when, those in store Sunglass Huts are just franchises, Woolies doesn’t own them.

SWAMBO usually does her monthly "homework" by gathering brochures from the major retailers and then checking where the things we need are cheapest, or where the best specials are. Woolies can be cheaper that all the others for certain things and a little pricier for others, but then the quality from Woolies is usually premium. Fresh produce, for example, we've never been let down by Woolies quality. Can't say the same for others.

True that, Checkers has upped their game over the years but especially their fruit is still often 3rd rate - full of insect and weather damage and picked to early or just half rotten, something which I have almost never experienced at Ww.

I've never met a woman who shops at Woolies with her hubbies money who does not claim Woolies is cheaper.

But people who shop and pay find it pricey.

What they do is, the stuff you can also get at PnP or Spar, like Dishwashing Liquid or Handy Andy etc, they are reasonable.

This fools the dimwits.

Then they hit them with R386 for 50mg of grated parmesan...

She shops with her own money. We don’t have a joint bank account or credit cards.
 
Used to buy at Woolies once a week but with their prices skyrocketing lately it's not worth it anymore.
