Pick n Pay is one of South Africa's most beloved and widespread supermarkets, offering a full range of groceries and household goods. The key to getting the best value lies in combining the deals found in the Pick n Pay catalogue specials this week with the powerful benefits of their Smart Shopper loyalty programme. This guide provides a straightforward strategy for using these tools together to reduce your shopping bill and earn valuable rewards.
The Smart Shopper Card: Your Most Important Tool
The Smart Shopper programme is one of the most established loyalty schemes in the country, and it is essential for any Pick n Pay customer. It offers two primary ways to save:
1. Smart Shopper Prices
Many of the most significant discounts in the weekly catalogue are "Smart Shopper Prices." This means you only receive the promotional price if you swipe your Smart Shopper card at the till. These deals are clearly marked in the catalogue and on the shelf, offering instant, substantial savings on hundreds of items across the store.
2. Earning and Spending Points
For every R2 you spend, you earn 1 Smart Shopper point. These points accumulate and can be spent as cash against your next shop once you have a sufficient balance. It's a simple way to get a direct financial return on your regular spending. You can also choose to donate your points to charity or convert them for other partner rewards.
Navigating the Pick n Pay Catalogue
With your Smart Shopper card in hand, the weekly catalogue becomes a roadmap to savings.
- Multi-Buy Deals: The catalogue is always packed with multi-buy offers, such as "Buy 2 for R50." These are excellent for stocking up on non-perishable items and household favourites. A large number of these are exclusive Smart Shopper deals.
- Combo Deals: Look for combo deals that bundle complementary products together for a single price, like a braai pack containing meat, a marinade, and a side dish.
- Personalised Discounts: By using the Pick n Pay app or engaging with their digital channels, you can unlock personalised discounts. These are offers on the products you buy most frequently, providing tailored value beyond the general catalogue specials.

A 'Smart' Shopping Strategy
To shop effectively at Pick n Pay, a consistent routine is key. First, ensure your Smart Shopper card is always with you. Before you go to the store, review the weekly catalogue this week and create a shopping list that prioritises items with a Smart Shopper Price. If you use the app, check for any personalised discounts you can activate. This simple process ensures you are layering multiple forms of savings: instant discounts at the till and points back for future purchases. This dual-benefit system, when used consistently, makes the Smart Shopper programme a powerful tool for managing your grocery budget.
