Checkers Catalogue This Week

Checkers catalogue this week: what is live and when it starts

Open the Checkers page on AdsSOS and you will usually find more than one catalogue running at once. Editions listed on AdsSOS usually start on a Monday, and the latest batch we hold begins on 19 October 2026. The main Checkers Specials edition runs from 19 October to 8 November 2026 over 14 pages, so it covers three weeks, not one. Smaller promotions come and go around it: a Moir's edition covers 19 to 25 October only, a Summer Promotion runs to 8 November, a Nutriday edition stretches to 18 November, and a Mental Wellness edition started on 12 October and runs to 22 November. Read the printed dates before planning the weekly shop.

Start and end dates change with each edition; check the validity line on the catalogue you are reading before you plan a shopping trip. If you also compare other grocers, the South African supermarkets catalogues page puts them side by side.

Checkers Xtra Savings: the card, the app and what it does at the till

Xtra Savings is the loyalty programme run by Shoprite Holdings, the parent company of Checkers. When it launched in October 2019, The Herald described it as a swipe-at-the-till scheme with the discount printed on your slip, and quoted Checkers saying there are no points, tiers or levels, just instant savings on groceries and drinks. Joining was possible through an in-store form, a QR code on the card, a USSD code, WhatsApp or the Checkers app. Wikipedia's Shoprite Holdings entry reports that 36.5 million Xtra Savings customers visited the group's stores as of June 2026.

The practical point for catalogue readers is that a card-only saving may only show once the card is scanned. Searches like "checkers xtra savings virtual card" show how many people keep it on the phone.

Checkers Sixty60 and Xtra Savings Plus

Sixty60 is the delivery side of the business. Wikipedia describes it as an on-demand service that delivers groceries and alcohol within an hour at the same prices as in store, with last-mile delivery done by Pingo, a Shoprite Group subsidiary. A search-result summary of FinGlobal's 2023 article put the delivery fee at R35. A Shoprite Holdings newsroom item from March 2023, which we only saw as a search result, said an order arriving more than 30 minutes after the estimated time, or one with fewer than 80% of your first-choice products, gets free delivery. These are dated figures, so check the app for what applies today.

There is also a paid tier. Reports from Business Report, Stuff and BusinessTech describe Xtra Savings Plus as a subscription sold only through the Sixty60 app. The benefits reported include free delivery on larger baskets and a monthly in-store discount that must be activated in the app. News24 reported in May 2024 that Sixty60 was beta-testing delivery of more than 10 000 larger Hyper products, such as small appliances, camping gear and toys, in parts of Cape Town. No national date was given there.

Typical questions from shoppers include "when does checkers sixty60 close" and "does checkers 60 take cash". Hours and holiday arrangements change with the branch and with municipal rules. The notice at the entrance of your branch is the most reliable guide to its current schedule.

Checkers return policy, refunds and your rights

The conditions for returning or exchanging goods, and for any price-matching promise, are decided by the retailer within the limits of local consumer law. Keep your receipt and ask at the customer-service desk before you buy. What we can describe is the law. The Consumer Protection Act commenced on 31 March 2011, according to the South African government site. Under section 56, as summarised in Consumer Goods and Services Ombud decisions on SAFLII and in press explainers, a consumer may return goods that fail the quality standard within six months of delivery, and choose repair, replacement or a refund. A store cannot override that with its own policy. These sources do not establish a general right to return something because you changed your mind, so a no-questions-asked return is a store courtesy rather than a legal right.

Keep your till slip. People search for "checkers return policy without receipt", and proof of purchase is the simplest way to avoid an argument at the customer service desk.

Is Checkers open today? Hours and public holidays

"Is checkers open on christmas day", "what time does checkers close today" and "checkers trading hours sunday" are among the most common suggestions, and the honest answer is that hours depend on the branch. Use the store locator on the Checkers site or call the branch, especially around public holidays.

About Checkers: who owns it and how the formats differ

Checkers belongs to Shoprite Holdings, which bought the national Checkers chain in 1991, according to Wikipedia. The family is split into several formats: Checkers and Checkers Hyper, the large-format store aimed at middle and higher income shoppers, plus Checkers Foods as a smaller convenience store and Checkers LiquorShop. Wikipedia puts the whole group at 3,710 stores across eight African countries in June 2026, including 573 franchise outlets, though that is the group total and not a Checkers-only count.

The same ownership explains why you will see cross-references to the sister banner when you browse: the Shoprite specials this week edition is the value-focused sibling. For a rival grocer, look at the Pick n Pay catalogue this week, or for bulk buying try the Africa Cash and Carry specials. Everything else we list sits in the South Africa catalogues and specials hub.
