With notable decreases coming from their Potato per kilogramme from N$26.99 to N$15.99, Washing Powder from N$68.99 to N$64.99, Tomato sauce from N$32.99 to N$24.99.

Checkers Hyper offered the second most economical basket, priced at N$974.8, a slight decrease from N$978.8 in the previous month, marking a decrease of 0.41%.

Compared to the retail store, the price difference was minimal, with the retail store offering slightly lower prices.

The key items contributing to this variance were Rama Butter, priced at N$29.99 at the hyper store and N$34.99 at the retail store, and Toothpaste, costing N$32.99 at the hyper store and N$29.99 at the retail store.

Conversely, Woermann Brock Hyper basket experienced a slight uptick, totalling N$1,050.8 in March 2024 compared to N$1,049.76 in February 2024, representing a 0.10% increase.

In comparison to the Retail store, the difference was N$90.90, with the retail store offering slightly lower prices.

Notable disparities in specific items included Beef Stew priced at N$119.99 at the Hyper store versus N$89.99 at the retail store, Marathon sugar priced at N$53.99 at the Hyper store versus N$41.99 at the retail store, and Tomato per kilogram priced at N$55.99 at the Hyper store compared to N$31.56 at the retail store.

Checkers was February’s cheapest shop in our newest category for hyper stores that was introduced the same month. The new category of shops was introduced to cater for hyper stores as per their offerings.

A hypermarket is a retail store that combines a department store and a grocery supermarket. Often a very large establishment, hypermarkets offer a wide variety of products such as appliances, clothing, and groceries.

Thus, the survey aims to provide consumers with valuable insights into the price of a basket of 20 standardised grocery products across these three hypermarkets: Woermann Brock Hyper (Khomasdal), Metro Hyper (Kliene Kuppe) and Checkers Hyper (Maerua Mall).

The basket composition remains the same as the one for the retailers; this is to assess whether a hyper’s pricing is any different to that of retailers.

Our grocery basket comprises:

Loaf of bread

 2-litre Nola Sunflower Oil

 5kg Top Score maize meal

 2.5kg Marathon sugar (white sugar)

 1.5kg Real Good Chicken

 1kg Beef stew

 2kg Mamas rice

 3kg Pasta Polana Macaroni

1-litre Nammilk full cream milk

9 Twinsaver toilet paper (350 sheets)

700ml Wellington tomato sauce

1kg Sunlight Washing powder

 750ml Sunlight dishwashing liquid

500g Rama Butter

18 Waldschmidt eggs (medium)

150g Protex bar soap

100ml Colgate toothpaste

1kg Onions

 1kg Potatoes

1kg Tomatoes

Note: We do not take specials or loyalty card discounts into consideration. When we find certain goods on special, for example, “Get N$10.00 off when buying 18 (medium) eggs and pay N$55.00”, we will log the price as N$65.00 to exclude the special.
