Shoprite announces R5 meals

Consumers struggling to keep head above water in an ever declining economic climate can now buy meals from only R5 at Shoprite stores country wide, including Polokwane.
The company recently said in a media release that the discounted meals have been introduced to help people’s money go further, especially amongst students. “Shoprite introduced these meals to ensure there are affordable meal options available,” the retail giant says in the media statement.
The new R5 meals include:
fried fish for R5
potato hashbrown for R2
chicken hotdog for R3,50
fried egg and tomato sandwich for R4
small pap for R2
pancake for R3
sweetcorn on a stick for R2,50
soup and igwinya (vetkoek) for R5
boiled egg and igwinya combo for R4
Africa’s largest retailer continues to present consumers with innovative and value-added promotions in its unwavering commitment to deliver the lowest prices on food and household essentials every day. Shoprite regularly subsidises the cost of basic food items and has extended its bread subsidy indefinitely, with its 600 g in-house bakery bread retailing for just R4,99 since April 2016.
In addition, the Shoprite Group has a robust hunger relief programme in place to address the food security challenges faced by so many people. Mobile Soup Kitchens have been serving vulnerable communities on a daily basis for a decade and the retailer makes surplus food from all stores available to hundreds of non-profit organisations who collectively feed thousands of hungry people daily.
The Group also works to establish longer-term solutions, such as sustainable food gardens, to alleviate hunger in communities and to generate much-needed income for vulnerable individuals and organisations in need.
