I only shop Woolies red meats and chicken because they are the best. The chicken skin stay on unlike other chicken brands that integrate even not over cooked. What I also like about Woolies is that most, if not all of their store brands are produced in South Africa...I am happy to pay R50 more for a South African virgin olive oil than those cheap EU versions that are mixed with lord knows what
Woolies is not as expensive as people think it is. You will be surprised by some of their pricing such as bulk buy red meats and chicken...Best meat and chicken...but fruit? Yeah, that's pricey...Ready to eat meals are also expensive but the best 😉
@@MetaphysicalExplorations Not really we dont import most of our food most is South African brands produced locally and even US and European brands they are not imported but US and European companies produce them in South Africa to sell locally and export to the rest of Africa.
Loves me some Woolies! The food is much much fresher than in the USA....Plus the selection of some things is miles and miles better.....Artisan breads, cheeses and meats as examples..Did I mention the wine?
The Woolworths in SA is different from, and unrelated to the one you had in the US. This one is a local company that's been there for decades, hence it's still in operation. Also unrelated to the Australian one, they just share a name.
Are you sure? Many SA companies have operations in a number of Western countries including the UK , Poland etc. Nandos, Spar and Ocean Basket are such companies. I listen to Business News on a frequent basis, where they discuss how they are performing overseas.
@@truesouth6532 I would always advise people to do a little research before making comments. I have done some research, and discovered that the Australian Woolworths is a subsidiary of Woolworths Holdings in SA. This means that the Australian Woolworths is fully owned by the South African Woolworths, unless they later sold it to a different company. If they did, which company is that?
The fruits and vegetables aren’t all organic. The organic products are labelled “organic” as well. It may not be as genetically modified as the US, but unfortunately the majority of the Woolworths fresh produce isn’t organic
@@Channel_Mesan we don’t have apple cider juice just regular apple juices some fresh and refrigerated and others boxed. You should try Appletizer it’s a carbonated 100% apple juice that Americans seem to like here. There’s also a grape option called Grapetiser
The USA is definitely overrated in my view it's basically a third world country. Quality of life for us blk SAns here looks and feels so much better than if I was to move there.
Wow this is so dope!!! I absolutely can not stand here is the states everything is processed. It takes me 10x longer to shop bc I’m always reading labels 😭🤣🤣like oh no does that say enriched 😅
Hey family, hope you good abd are still ejoying SA. Just wanted to state that Woolworths food doesn't correctly represent south sfrica prices of food coz the prices thete are mostly twice or three times more the regular price of products. Woolworths food is like a luxury food shorp, but they still sell the same food you'd find snywhere in SA, but its just packaged different and it costs much higher at Woolworths food. To find nirmal SA food prices, you might need to visit a checkers, pick'n pay or spar or even Shoprite. Shoprote is like the cheapest when it comes to food prices.
Might be because their food is also expensive and they've tried other markets outside of SA, like Nigeria in the past -- which turned out to be a fail because many complained that it was expensive. They've always been a food, clothing, cosmetics and homeware store [department store] here in SA though.
Woolworths grocery store is one of the most expensive stores, you haven't done the price justice because you shopped where many avoid to go because of the prices.
Really, wow! I'm surprised that Spar is more expensive. I haven't been in Africa for a little minute though, I'm really speaking under corrections.@@honordiamond2548
Just because people feel that quality is expensive doesn’t mean the store is expensive. People need to really look at what they are getting from their so called cheaper options. It’s cheap because it’s a cheap product. Don’t be cheap with what u feed ur body and splurge on clothes and accessories 😂
Woolies is quality everything. It is where I shop because I am fortunate enough. We have different stores with different price points. Shoprite at the lower end for affordable goods. Woolies at the higher end. But if you live in Durban we have Indian run businesses that can make your shopping trolley even cheaper. You just need to know where to go. Ask the locals.
Does your heart mean yes?@@Channel_Mesan Planning to come but was working on Visa... but plan to be there long term. I understand you can only apply for longterm Visa in your country.
What I don't like about SA is that when they are building malls in other African countries they build trash and don't build something like this. It is so annoying to me. That means they don't want other African countries to have decent malls. Their malls in Nigeria are very ugly.
Private entities and investors build malls people.. governments don't.. cause why would ramaphosa's administration build malls in other african countries?
Jungle Oats is the best oat brand in South Africa. Jungle is the Colgate of oatmeal. 😂😂
Ok I will try that brand next. Thank you.
No,it not
The best one the one they sell at Dischem
The bananas in the box are natural not genetically modified
And that's what I need.
Organic is a new word and very western to us here in Africa. Everything here by nature is already what you call organic in America

The only time I go into Woolworths for grocery shopping is when I go there with my mother who's a pensioner but can somehow afford to shop there.

This is an awesome video.
All the food in the stores are South African except for a few US brands
No they import from Europe not America...

Try woolies spinach and feta pie.
God made the food organic. Most of the world that's how they grow it. Good video man
You are so right! Thank you.
I live in the town where the Buttanut factory resides. In fact the factory is just behind in another street where I work in an industrial area 😊
BTW we do have Appleside vinegar... It just doesn't sit in the fridge
What I cannot find is the Apple Cider (juice from the apple) not the vinegar. I have a bottle of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar.
@@Channel_Mesanwhen you in Woolworths don't be shy to ask for what you looking for

Wait, I'm in the US, hearing you say that America is a scam makes me feel like I'm scammed.
We are being scammed out of our happiness in so many ways, in my opinion. But I only saw this after I moved abroad.

Exactly!!
And, GMO and bioengineered ingredients in just about everything.
Anything that says “No sugar” or “sugar free” is full of sugar…I avoid those at all cost 👀🤔 that store is expensive….
Woolies does sell almond and oat milk, you just have to find it 😂
That day they didn't... Also I was looking for Almond Breeze brand.

Woolies is one of the most expensive foods stores in SA😅
I understand.
Soda, to me, tastes better in Africa than the United States. That was my experience in Ghana anyway
I agree with you on that.
Must really love thay exchange rate😅
i didnt know woolworths sell food...here in kenya its just a clothing store....and mad expensive at that.

They're here in Zambia too, just clothes.
@@_theerealnono_7694they sell premium foods
It is a premier brand, and it's food is of highest quality, compared to other retail stores. It has some presence in Western countries.
They olso have fast food that sell Burger .its Woolworths now..just like burger king

Go do a shop at pick n pay and checkers, aszwelll wool worths very expensive, fo proper research
Yeahhh but he is shopping with his dollars and it's still cheaper than in the USA is the point he is making. So if they can afford it why not.
Woolworths grocery store is one of the most expensive stores, you haven't done the price justice because you shopped where many avoid to go because of the prices.
That's a good point. Also my target audience are people from the USA and Europe mainly.
Actually Woolies is cheaper than most food/ grocery stores.... in my opinion. Spar is expensive.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.@@Channel_Mesan

You are in every SA-themed video my guy, it's giving obsession
In most cases is the budget, we have low budget malls in SA as well
But is it SA building those malls in Nigeria or investors?
It depends on your budget , you cant get high quality if you not willing to pay
Private entities and investors build malls people.. governments don't.. cause why would ramaphosa's administration build malls in other african countries?
Next time you buy cereal try a South African classic Pronutro ❤
Only people with money and credit cards can shop at Woolworths they expensive,
Shoprite and Pick and Pay cheaper.
That's a lie though. Pick 'n Pay has never been cheap!
Picky n pay has never cheaper... its more expensive than Woolworths
Pick n Pay is very very pricey...Woolworths not bad at all..
@@benjiza0314these shops are almost similar difference congress with quality at most
Not really. Spar is more expensive than Woolworths
