Breakfast with Martin Bester

With the recent historically high petrol price increase, most South Africans are definitely feeling the financial pinch of daily life.

As fuel and food prices increase, many people are opting for only the daily essentials, but even these staples can come with a steep price.

The South African recently compiled a list of regular grocery staples that are costing South Africans a lot.

Product prices, of course, vary depending on the retailer, sales promotions and loyalty programmes.

Looking at products at the higher end of the price scale, here are ten of the priciest staples South Africans buy regularly.

Following the viral story about how Roosevelt High School in Randburg’s matric dance was cut short due to incidents involving a parent threatening a staff member with a gun, attendees vomiting and the use of marijuana, Breakfast with Martin Bester discussed what feels like a decline in manners, discipline and respect for teachers.

South Africans are facing unprecedented fuel prices as of Wednesday, 7 October.

Motorists who use petrol will have to fork out over R3 more for a litre of 93 or 95 octane petrol from Wednesday.

The cost of diesel will also increase significantly, by R2.84 and R3.24 a litre.
