Why These Specials Matter Now
Mid-February is typically a tight period for many Gauteng households, particularly those relying on fixed incomes or social grants. Retail promotions during this period often focus on staple foods and high-demand essentials.
The inclusion of bulk maize meal and cooking oil specials reflects sustained demand for affordable core groceries. Liquor promotions are common ahead of weekends, particularly in Gauteng’s high-density retail zones.
What This Means for Gauteng Residents
For Gauteng shoppers, this week’s specials provide opportunities to secure staple foods at reduced prices before month-end pressure peaks.
The presence of:
- Bulk maize meal
- Rice
- Cooking oil
- Frozen chicken
- Toiletries
indicates retailers are targeting core basket affordability.
Liquor promotions may draw additional foot traffic to stores located near transport hubs and township retail corridors.
Shoppers are advised to confirm stock availability at their nearest branch, as high-demand promotional items often sell out early in the week.
How Long Are These Specials Valid?
The promotional period runs:
16 February 2026 to 22 February 2026
Offers are valid while stocks last. Some liquor promotions may run on extended cycles, depending on the specific LiquorShop outlet.
