I feel that this should be brought to shoppers’ attention.
On Sunday I went to Tiffany’s Spar in Salt Rock for supplies and purchased fresh garlic, among other goods, at a price of R279.99 per kg.
We needed to go to Richmond Checkers and I checked the cost of the garlic there: it was R149.99 per kg, a huge difference of more than 100 percent.
I do realise that some stores differ on price by small margins but this is ridiculous, so please just check the prices!

As I’m sure everyone is aware, Spar’s staff were put in isolation for a two week period as a precaution and casual staff were brought in to ensure shopping convenience for our community.
Unfortunately, the casuals made a mistake with the garlic pricing. Spar’s staff are back, thankfully, and have rectified the error. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
