Grocery time travel: What we paid in 2015 versus today
Remember when a loaf of bread was just R9? It wasn’t that long ago. Here’s what your favourite groceries cost just 10 years ago.
Just 10 years ago, a loaf of Albany brown bread cost just R8.99, less than half of today’s price. Kellogg’s Cornflakes, now going for around R79.99, cost a mere R36.99.
If you ever needed a reminder that inflation is alive and kicking, here it is.
We dug through our archives and found old shopping catalogues from 2015, so join us on a fun or painfully nostalgic trip down memory lane, back to a time when Ultramel custard was only R20, and grocery shopping didn’t feel like a luxury.
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
