Top 5 Usave Deals Under R50 (13–19 October 2025)
This week’s specials cover all the basics, personal care, food, and cleaning products. Here’s what’s worth grabbing before the shelves clear out.
1. Protex Bar Soap (175g) – R11.99
- When it comes to daily hygiene, Protex remains one of South Africa’s most trusted names. This week, uSave is offering 175g bars at just R11.99 each, making it one of the cheapest personal care items on the shelf.
- Each bar is formulated to protect against bacteria while keeping skin smooth and refreshed. With several variants available, shoppers can choose between Classic, Herbal, or Balance, all known for their long-lasting fragrance and gentle cleansing action.
- At a time when hygiene products often exceed R20 per bar elsewhere, this deal offers genuine value for money, especially for larger families looking to stock up.
2. Colgate Triple Action Toothpaste (100ml) – R14.99
- Oral care doesn’t need to cost a fortune. uSave’s Colgate Triple Action Toothpaste deal at R14.99 provides cavity protection, whitening, and fresh breath, all in one.
- Colgate has long dominated South African shelves for its quality and reliability. This price point puts it within reach for budget-conscious households who don’t want to compromise on dental health.
- Typically retailing for over R20 in other supermarkets, this offer gives families a reason to restock without guilt. It’s one of those quiet essentials that make a real difference at the till.
3. Sasko More Slices Brown Bread (700g) – R13.99
- Bread remains one of South Africa’s most consumed staples, and Sasko’s 700g More Slices Brown Bread is both filling and nutritious. At R13.99, it’s one of the most affordable loaves this week.
- Rich in fibre and baked for freshness, Sasko’s brown bread is ideal for everything from lunchbox sandwiches to toast at breakfast. While some retailers have pushed bread prices closer to R18, this deal ensures households can still enjoy quality at an honest price.
- Pair it with Rama spread or a fried egg breakfast, and you’ve got a meal that’s both affordable and comforting.
4. Spekko Long Grain Parboiled Rice (2kg) – R27.99
- Rice is a cornerstone of South African cuisine, and Spekko remains a brand synonymous with quality and value. The 2kg pack, now only R27.99, is perfect for families that cook in bulk or stretch meals throughout the week.
- Whether it’s for curry, stew, or biryani, Spekko’s parboiled rice cooks evenly and remains fluffy, offering consistent results every time. For comparison, most supermarkets price 2kg bags between R30 and R35 — meaning this uSave offer provides a meaningful discount.
5. Surf Hand Washing Powder (2kg) – R47.99
- Laundry products are often among the most expensive items in any household basket. But this week, Surf 2kg Hand Washing Powder drops to R47.99, offering clean clothes and fresh fragrance at a fraction of the usual price.

How to Make the Most of These Specials
uSave’s low prices already do most of the work, but a few smart habits can help stretch your budget even further:
Compare prices per kilogram or litre. It’s often more cost-effective to buy slightly larger quantities of staples.
Stock up early in the week. These specials run only while stocks last, and high-demand items sell out quickly.
Prioritise non-perishables. Rice, flour, and washing powder keep for months — saving you repeat trips.
Shop responsibly. uSave limits some deals to three per customer to ensure fair access.
Check your nearest branch. These prices apply at uSave stores across South Africa, so availability may vary.
For store information, shoppers can call uSave Customer Care at 0800 01 07 09 (toll-free) or visit their nearest Shoprite Group outlet.
