Checkers: Xtra Savings Made Easy

If you're looking for a shopping experience that offers a bit of everything – from budget basics to fancy treats – Checkers is probably on your radar. They're brilliant at mixing great value with a touch of luxury. The secret to unlocking the very best they have to offer lies in a powerful duo: the Checkers catalogue specials and the Xtra Savings card. Mastering these two tools can seriously transform your grocery budget. Let's get into how you can become a Checkers champion!

Your Two-Step Plan for Checkers Success

Think of the Checkers catalogue and the Xtra Savings card as your dynamic duo. The catalogue shows you what's on special for everyone, whilst the card unlocks even deeper, exclusive discounts just for you. Before you shop, grab a cuppa and spend ten minutes flicking through the catalogue this week. Make a list of the deals that catch your eye. You’ll notice two prices on many items: the regular price and the Xtra Savings price. That difference is your reward for being part of the club! It’s also clever to cross-reference with other major retailers, like checking the Pick n Pay catalogue, to make sure you’re getting the best price on the market.

Activating Your Personalised Deals

Here’s a pro tip that many people miss: Checkers often sends personalised deals to your Xtra Savings account through their app or WhatsApp. These are special offers based on what you usually buy. Before you go shopping, quickly check if you have any of these deals waiting for you. Activating a "R20 off your R100 shop" voucher is like finding free money!

From Simple Savings to Gourmet Feasts

Checkers has done a fantastic job of catering to all tastes and budgets. You can find amazing value on everyday items, but also discover some really special products for a weekend treat.

Spotting the Premium Deals

Keep an eye out for deals on their exclusive ranges like Forage and Feast or Simple Truth. These are Checkers' premium and wellness brands, and getting them on special is a real win. You can enjoy restaurant-quality ingredients or healthy snacks for a fraction of the usual price. The catalogue will always highlight these, making it easy to plan a fancy meal on a not-so-fancy budget. When planning a big shop, it's also worth seeing what bulk deals are available in the Makro specials this week for your pantry staples, allowing you to spend a little more on the nice-to-have items at Checkers.

A Note on Sixty60

The Checkers Sixty60 app has been a game-changer for so many of us. It's incredibly convenient, but can you still save money? Absolutely! The app features the same Xtra Savings prices you'd find in-store. When you're browsing, just make sure you're logged into your Xtra Savings profile to see the deals. While it's great for top-up shops, for your big weekly shop, it's still worth checking the full catalogue first to plan your meals and make sure you don't miss out on any in-store-only promotions. Convenience and savings? That's a winning combination.
