Shopping in Johannesburg

In this episode, hosts Hannah Pirnie and Sarah Passmore discuss where to buy everyday things in Johannesburg, from food, to clothes to mundane household items. And they might just happen to mention where they buy their wine as well! 😉 (We promise we have not been sponsored by any brand or company... although listening back, maybe some of them should think about it! 😂 All views are our own... with apologies for any UK oriented banter and supermarket snobbery) Takeaways Popular grocery stores in Johannesburg include Pick n Pay, Checkers, and Woolworths. Mr Price Home is a good place to buy household items. Amatuli offers unique African-inspired decor. Local markets are a great place to find clothing and accessories. Tipping in restaurants is expected in South Africa, with 10 per cent being the minimum. Shopping malls provide a safe and convenient shopping experience.
