Hi Bashni,

Thank you for contacting Pick n Pay, We appreciate you taking the time to write to us.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in response.

We will never increase the prices of key products just because they are in demand in challenges like the Coronavirus outbreak.

In some cases where the cost price has gone up, we have unfortunately had to adjust the price to reflect the price paid to the manufacturer for new stock.

We are working hard with our suppliers to keep key products available and affordable, and we have committed to the Government that we will do the same.

We value you as a Pick n Pay customer and are committed to improve continually on our service levels.
 
We appreciate your patience and understanding at this very difficult time.
 
Kind regards,
The Pick n Pay Team
