How to find this week's Boxer Liquor special
'- '
- Visit the store. Boxer Liquors display specials on shelf tags and posters. '
- Check Boxer's channels and the Boxer Rewards Club; a third-party guide says one B Reward equals R1 on promoted products and that the scheme works across Boxer formats. Confirm the rules with Boxer. '
- Check third-party catalogues for your town, noting their dates. '
- Ask staff about weekend offers. '
- Compare with a nearby chain. '
The comparison method
'Alcohol is sold in many pack sizes, so compare by volume. The numbers below are invented to show the method and are not Boxer prices.
'| Product (invented numbers) | Boxer Liquors | Other chain | Per litre (Boxer) | Per litre (other) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 x 340 ml lager cans (2.04 L) | R105 | R110 | R51.47 | R53.92 |
| 750 ml brandy | R170 | R165 | R226.67 | R220.00 |
| 5 L boxed wine | R200 | R210 | R40.00 | R42.00 |
No chain wins every product, so compare the specific items you buy.
' 'Liquor catalogues running now elsewhere
'For context, Shoprite Liquor had three catalogues running between 19 October and 8 November 2026 with Hennessy VS 750 ml at R509.99 and Jagermeister Orange 750 ml at R299.99. Johnny's Liquor Hypermarket in Pretoria listed Hennessy VS at R519.90, Johnnie Walker Red 750 ml at R239.90 and Gordon's Gin 750 ml at R159.90. Those give you reference prices for the same brands.
' 'Responsible buying
'- '
- You must be 18 or older, and ID may be requested. '
- The legal limit for driving is 0.05 g per 100 ml of blood. '
- Buy only from licensed stores and avoid illicit alcohol. '
- Specials are not a reason to drink more. '
Storing and serving: getting value after you buy
'A liquor special only saves money if you store and use the product well. Keep beer and cider out of direct sun, because heat spoils flavour. Store wine on its side in a cool place if it has a cork, and drink boxed wine within the date on the pack. Spirits keep well unopened but should be stored upright. If you buy for a function, calculate quantities honestly: a common planning guide is two to three drinks per adult for the first hour and one per hour after, adjusted for your group and the occasion. Buying more than you need only saves money if the product keeps and you will use it.
'Think about transport and security as well. A large liquor purchase should be carried in the boot, not left on the back seat, and kept out of sight. If you host, arrange safe transport for guests and offer non-alcoholic options, and never serve alcohol to anyone under 18. Finally, keep your slip. If a bottle is faulty or a can is leaking, take it back promptly with the slip and the product, since stores usually expect problems to be reported soon after purchase.
'| Product | Storage tip |
|---|---|
| Beer and cider | Cool, dark place; avoid heat |
| Wine with cork | On its side, cool |
| Boxed wine | Cool; use by the printed date |
| Spirits | Upright, away from sunlight |
