Around the 24th of every month, we collect the prices of a set of basic goods from some of South Africa’s major retailers. The list of products we collect is limited and not intended to be an absolute measure of affordability. We aim for products to be broadly comparable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
When we were unable to find a particular product, these are the alternatives that were selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
