Shoprite Catalogue 2022: Weekly Leaflets, Xtra Savings and How the Catalogue Format Has Changed Since
Quick answer: We could not retrieve an archived weekly Shoprite catalogue for 2022, so we state no weekly leaflet prices for that year. What our sources show is the structure around it: Shoprite and Checkers published leaflets on their websites for events such as Black Friday on 25 November 2022, member-only Xtra Savings pricing was central to the offers, and the Checkers Xtra Xtra Weekend of 14 to 16 October 2022 included a Philips Essential Airfryer XL at R2,299 and half a lamb at R99 per kg. Since then catalogues have moved more fully online and into apps. For current prices, use the latest digital catalogue.
Last updated: October 2026. Facts come from Shoprite Holdings' newsroom and BusinessTech. 2022 catalogue prices are historic and do not apply today. We did not rely on unattributed catalogue-aggregator sites. Worked examples use invented numbers.
Background: what a Shoprite catalogue is for
A Shoprite catalogue is a promotional document that tells customers which products are on special, at what price and for how long. It is a key tool for a value-focused retailer: the group's brand promise rests on low prices, and the leaflet is where it proves that promise to shoppers. Catalogues are organised by category and often lead with fresh meat, staples such as maize meal, rice and cooking oil, and household products, which are the items families buy every week. They also carry event editions timed for month-end, Easter, Black Friday and the festive season.
In 2022 the printed leaflet was still widely distributed, but the digital version was growing. The retailer's website and app offered page-by-page views, and event leaflets were published online so that shoppers could plan ahead. Today, digital catalogues are even more central, with app notifications and personalised member offers. This matters because members may see deals that are not in the general leaflet, and the best prices may require logging into the app.
How to use a Shoprite catalogue well
Start with the validity dates and the store type. Prices can differ between Shoprite, Usave and Checkers, and between provinces, so check that the leaflet applies to your store. Next, mark the staples you buy anyway and the specials that beat your usual price. Calculate unit prices for bulk items: a 10 kg maize meal bag at R129.99 costs R13.00 per kg on invented prices, which you can compare with a 5 kg bag at R74.99, or R15.00 per kg. The larger bag saves R2 per kg, or R20 on 10 kg, if you will use it all.
Then check the conditions. Xtra Savings prices apply only to members, so make sure you have the card or app. Look for limits per customer and for multi-buy requirements. Be careful with products near their expiry date, which retailers sometimes discount heavily. Buy only what you can use in time, or freeze. Finally, remember that the leaflet shows only a fraction of the store: the shelf price on non-promoted items may be higher or lower than elsewhere, so a full basket comparison is the most reliable guide.

Consumer tips for today
Make the catalogue part of a weekly routine. Check it before you write your shopping list, compare it with the leaflets of one or two competitors, and plan meals around the cheapest proteins and vegetables. If you rely on a tight budget, prioritise staples and plan your shop for the days when new specials start, usually early in the week. Use the app's list function to track items and prices, and keep your till slip to verify that specials scanned correctly.
Be cautious about older catalogues found online. Some websites republish old leaflets without dates, which can mislead you into thinking a price is current. Always check the date on the page. If you need historic prices, for example to compare inflation, use the retailer's archive or reputable news coverage from the time. For everyday shopping, only the current leaflet matters, and the best guard against overspending is a written list and a clear budget.
