Check Save Catalogue This Week

Check Save specials: a catalogue for your own branch

Most national chains print one catalogue for the whole country. Check Save does it differently in the edition we hold: the listing is called "Check Save Umzinto", it runs from 9 October to 8 November 2026 and has ten pages. In other words, it is written for one branch on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. If you shop in Chatsworth, Phoenix or Pietermaritzburg, your own branch may carry a different sheet, so look for the catalogue named after your store. Our data shows no regular start weekday for Check Save, so go by the dates printed on the listing.

Searchers give the same clue. They type "check save specials durban today", "check save merebank specials today" or "check save specials this weekend", always with a place name attached.

Check Save near me: a long list of branches

The official store locator lists 61 stores, mainly across KwaZulu-Natal with a few Eastern Cape towns such as Mthatha and Bizana. The names read like a tour of the province: Montford, Shallcross, Bayview and Westcliff in Chatsworth, Merebank, Isipingo, Umlazi, Phoenix areas such as Woodview and Brookdale, plus Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle, Ladysmith, Port Shepstone and Margate. Head office is at 18/26 Victoria Street in the Durban CBD, according to the contact page.

If you are trying to work out which branch a catalogue belongs to, remember that the locator groups towns very differently: Durban suburbs sit close together, while Newcastle, Vryheid and Dundee are a long drive apart.

The website's vision statement says it wants to be a convenient retailer across Africa that stocks basic fast-moving goods, fresh produce and convenience meals at low prices every day. It does not publish a founding date or owner, so we leave that out.

Check Save trading hours: Sundays and the Friday break

Hours are the second thing people ask for, and this chain publishes them per store, which is helpful. A few examples from the locator: Merebank trades Monday to Saturday from 07:00 to 20:00 and on Sunday from 08:00 to 19:00; Isipingo closes at 18:00 on weekdays, 17:00 on Saturday and 15:00 on Sunday; Umzinto, Port Shepstone and Margate run 07:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, 08:00 to 17:00 on Saturday and 09:00 to 14:00 on Sunday. The locator also notes Friday Namaaz times of 12:00 to 13:15 at every store, so a midday Friday dash may hit a quieter counter.

Those times are what the page showed on the day we checked, and hours change over holidays. Phone ahead for the long weekends.

Check Save sale days and the stationery sheets

Besides the weekly-style grocery sheets, people search for "check save stationery catalogue" and "check save sale catalogue", which points to seasonal back-to-school and sale editions. The promotions page on the official site is a set of picture banners rather than a text list, so the scanned catalogue is usually the easiest way to read the offers. We hold no price information, so check the numbers on the scan.

Community side of Check Save

The site's community page describes some local projects. Check Save sponsored a family day for about 1,000 underprivileged children with the Verulam Child and Family Welfare, supported a Youth Day beach event with the "We are Durban" group for almost 250 children and volunteers, and ran a till slip competition won by Riverdene Secondary School in Newlands. These are the company's own accounts, so read them as such.

Good to know before you shop

The pages we opened do not describe a loyalty card, an app, a returns policy or home delivery, so we make no claims on them. If a cashier tells you about a card, ask what it earns and whether it applies to catalogue items.

Similar-sounding names and how to compare

Do not confuse Check Save with Checkers. It sits closer to Check Star, a Durban supermarket brand with its own website and catalogue; the contact pages of both sites give the same head-office street address in Victoria Street, though neither page spells out the corporate relationship. We list the latter at Check Star weekly specials, and its catalogue is worth opening beside this one if you live near Overport, Phoenix or the Durban CBD. For a Durban shop that mixes bulk and everyday buying, compare it with Boxer catalogue specials, Shoprite specials this week and Pick n Pay weekly catalogue. Compare pack sizes and unit prices, not just the big number.

More grocery sheets sit in the supermarket catalogues in South Africa hub, and the South Africa catalogues page has every retailer we cover.
