New Grocery Concept Helps Diepsloot Residents Save Big
Story 1
A new grocery concept in Diepsloot is making everyday essentials more affordable for local families.
SKUBU, a fully automated refill store, lets shoppers bring their own containers and buy items like maize meal, rice, sugar, cooking oil and detergent at up to half the usual price.
Customers load money onto a store card and fill only the quantity they need, helping stretch household budgets while reducing single use plastic.
A kilogram of maize meal can cost around R9 compared with roughly R20 at larger retailers.
