The Total Store is a leading Supermarkets chain in South Africa. Weekly promotions are released on schedule, valid across grocery, household, and seasonal goods.
The Total Store was established in 2005 as a locally owned supermarket chain in South Africa, focusing on affordable, high-quality products. Over the years, it expanded to 50+ stores across major cities, prioritizing community engagement through initiatives like food donation programs and local farmer partnerships. Unlike competitors like Shoprite or Spar, The Total Store emphasizes personalized customer service and locally sourced goods, building trust with families and small businesses.
Its website launched in 2018 to streamline flyer access and online ordering, further solidifying its digital presence.Learn about our journey.Explore community programs
Today, The Total Store competes with giants like Pick N Pay and Fair Price by offering tailored promotions for South African shoppers. Its 2022 Mother’s Day campaign, for example, included exclusive brunch bundles and discounted household essentials, reflecting its understanding of local trends. By analyzing search keywords like "mother's day specials near me," the store adapts its flyers to match consumer needs, ensuring relevance in a competitive market.
The Total Store is known for its "Family Bundles" promotion, which groups household items at discounted rates, appealing to bulk buyers. Another staple is the "Loyalty Rewards" program, where frequent shoppers earn points redeemable for future purchases. Seasonal sales, such as the annual Christmas clearance, attract customers with up to 50% off select items.
These offers are prominently featured in weekly flyers, often targeting Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and back-to-school periods. For instance, the 2023 Mother’s Day flyer included a "Dinner & Brunch Combo" with discounts from Spar or Checkers partners.Explore Family Bundles.Join Loyalty Rewards
Unique to The Total Store is its "Eco-Friendly Deals" initiative, promoting sustainable products at reduced prices. This includes reusable packaging discounts and partnerships with local organic farms. While competitors like Food Lovers Market focus on gourmet items, The Total Store balances affordability with eco-conscious options, catering to budget-conscious and environmentally aware shoppers in South Africa.
The Total Store's mobile app offers exclusive discounts for registered users, including 15% off weekly grocery bundles and same-day delivery access. Customers can track orders in real-time and redeem digital coupons directly through the app. For delivery, The Total Store provides flexible options: standard same-day (within 2 hours), next-day, and scheduled drop-offs at local pickup points.
Price matching is available for select items within 7 days of purchase, requiring proof of a lower price from competitors like Shoprite or Pick N Pay. Payment methods include contactless cards, mobile wallet integration (Apple Pay/Google Pay), and cash. Explore mobile app features to unlock personalized deals.

The store emphasizes community-focused services, such as bulk discounts for local cooperatives and free recipe workshops. Their loyalty program, 'Total Rewards,' offers tiered benefits based on spending, including free grocery bags and birthday discounts. Delivery drivers assist with unpacking in high-traffic areas, and price matching extends to online competitors.
The app also features a 'price drop alert' functionality, notifying users when items revert to lower prices. Check payment method details for security protocols. With 24/7 customer support via the app, resolving issues is streamlined.
The Total Store’s focus on affordability and convenience sets it apart from competitors like Fair Price, which prioritizes budget staples, or Food Lovers Market, which emphasizes artisanal products.
