Following Namica, Windhoek Cash and Carry had a yearly average price of N$1,307.07, making it the second most affordable option. While it had some slight price increases throughout the year, it remained a strong contender in terms of affordability.

Metro recorded a yearly average of N$1,334.99, positioning it third among the five wholesalers. While slightly more expensive than Windhoek Cash and Carry, Metro still offered competitive prices for the majority of products.

Wecke & Voigts had an average of N$1,338.74, ranking fourth. Although they had some price decreases in certain items, their overall pricing remained higher than Metro and Windhoek Cash and Carry.

Lastly, Woermann Brock recorded the highest average at N$1,375.84, making it the least affordable option among the five wholesalers in Windhoek. Despite price increases in some categories, Woermann Brock remains a popular choice due to its broad selection of products.

The Brief’s annual survey aims to help consumers identify which wholesalers consistently offer the most affordable prices across a range of staple items in Windhoek. The goal is to provide transparency on pricing trends and assist shoppers in making informed purchasing decisions based on year-long trends rather than monthly fluctuations.

This comparison draws from five major wholesalers in Windhoek: Metro, Namica, Wecke & Voigts, Woermann Brock, and Windhoek Cash and Carry. By tracking the pricing of key products month-to-month and over the year, this survey gives consumers a comprehensive view of which wholesaler is providing the best value for money throughout 2024.

The purpose of the survey is to offer customers insightful information about the pricing of a consistent basket of 22 grocery items from each of these four retailers. The items in the grocery basket are:

  • Loaf of bread
  • 2-litre Sunflower Oil
  • 2.5kg Sugar (white sugar)
  • Chicken Filets (per kg)
  • Beef sirloin (2kg)
  • Tastic rice (Basmati) 500g
  • Macaroni (1kg)
  • 1-litre full cream milk
  • 9 Baby Soft toilet paper (350 sheets)
  • Salad Dressing
  • 1kg Sunlight Washing Powder (Auto)
  • Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid 500g
  • Butter (500g)
  • Foam Bath 100ml
  • Colgate Toothpaste (1kg)
  • Onions (1 kg)
  • Potatoes (1kg)
  • Tomatoes (1kg)
  • Apples (1kg)
  • Lettuce
  • Cucumber (240g)
  • Cheese
