It’s definitely something they advertise. And, you might see posters advertising it inside the shop itself. It gives you the list of “ingredients”, and generally is a good meal.

Haven’t heard abt “Eat a meal for 4 for under R150″ so I would be interested to know what it is all abt. Is it something Woolworths advertises? )

I agree with you about the soups. But, if you take a look carefully, you’ll see that a lot of the time, Woolworths isn’t AS expensive as you picture.

We were talking about the “Eat a meal for 4 for uner R150″ tonight at dinner, and it is DEFINITELY great value for money.

Very rare do we shop at Woolworths as we find it is so over-priced, very expensive. Even tho most of their food items are really tasty, it still does not justify most of their prices. But the few items we occasionally buy and would recommend to anyone who loves soup or has little time on their hands to prepare a 1st course for visitors is the potato soup and the butternut soup, in sealed bags ~ absolutely delicious!

We recently moved over to NZ and of all the things I miss, besides my f & f, I miss Woolies the most. The clothing here doesn’t compare, the food doesn’t compare, the home furnishings don’t compare. Woolies rocks. I wish Woolies would open up a couple of shops here in NZ.

I agree about the veggies. They sometimes have a disturbingly long life span.

We always buy lettuce at Woolworths, though we prefer the bananas to the apples. And WOW did we buy HUGE bananas over the weekend.

I agree with you about the prawns. My wife makes a mean stir fry with them.

Though I must confess, the tails make them easier to hold if you’re eating with your hands (finger food as opposed to stir fry)

The ready cooked frozen prawns at Woolies are the best. I am always wary of frozen prawns but these are really good, you literally defrost them and eat, yummy. Only one complaint, the tail is still on.
