The latest published family Saturday fire — the meat, the fire, the table and the cooldrink. Citations, not a shop.

Basket v2 (from 31 August 2026): 1 kg boerewors, 1 kg pork loin chops, 1 kg chicken braai pack; charcoal, firelighters and matches; rolls, potato salad, sweetcorn and chakalaka; braai salt, tomato sauce and foil; and a 2-litre cooldrink. One number for the family basket, a second with a 6-pack of lager.
Three braais, one table: the fire, the sides, the extras and the cooldrink stay the same — only the meat changes. Budget (boerewors, pork braai chops, chicken drumsticks & wings): R688.37. Classic: R713.37. High-end (boerewors, rump steak, lamb loin chops): R968.37. A 6-pack of lager adds R104.99 to any of them.

What is in the basket

A family Saturday fire is more than meat — so from basket v2 the basket prices the whole thing: the meat, the fire, the table and the cooldrink. No ranking of shops, no “best price in SA” table. Citations exist so you can see where a figure came from. They are not a storefront. Planning 24 September, Heritage Day? The Braai Day page has the quantities, the wood and the timeline. This number is the published basket for the week written above it, not a till slip for the holiday.

The method

Each line is a single confirmed public guest price. We do not average two till slips and call it science. We do not fill a hole from last week. A gap stays a gap until someone sends a price we can publish.

Got a public guest price for a missing line — a shelf ticket, a weekly specials page anyone can open without an account? Send it to [email protected] with the shop, the town, the date and a photo of the ticket. An agent or a person will check it.
