Checkers Catalogue 2022: What the Year in Leaflets Looked Like, and How to Find Old Catalogues Today

Quick answer: We could not retrieve an archived Checkers weekly catalogue from 2022, and search results returned mostly low-quality catalogue sites, so we list no weekly 2022 leaflet prices. What the record does show is the shape of Checkers' 2022 promotional year: the Xtra Xtra Weekend of 14 to 16 October 2022 for Xtra Savings members with discounts up to 50% (including a Philips Essential Airfryer XL at R2,299 and Huggies Gold Jumbo nappies at R200), and Black Friday on 25 November with leaflets published on the Shoprite and Checkers websites. To find an old leaflet, check the retailer's catalogue archive, third-party leaflet archives and local newspapers.

Last updated: October 2026. Facts come from Shoprite Holdings' newsroom and BusinessTech. Several catalogue sites we found were unattributed SEO content, which we did not rely on. 2022 prices are historic and do not apply today.

Background: what a Checkers catalogue is

A Checkers catalogue is a printed and digital leaflet that lists the retailer's promotions for a set period, usually a week or two, along with special event editions for occasions such as Black Friday, Easter and Christmas. The leaflet is organised by department: fresh produce, meat, bakery, frozen foods, groceries, household, health and beauty, and appliances in some formats. It highlights headline specials on the front pages, often featuring well-known brands, and it states the validity dates and the stores in which the prices apply.

Catalogues have moved increasingly online. The retailer publishes digital versions on its website and app, where you can flip through pages, zoom in on prices and sometimes add items to a shopping list. Third-party sites also host copies, and some copy catalogues from other years, which can cause confusion. For historic research, the official site and reputable archives are best, but old leaflets may be removed after the promotion ends.

Finding and using an old catalogue

If you need a 2022 Checkers catalogue, begin with the retailer's website: look for a catalogue section and any archive options. Next, try leaflet aggregators, which often keep older editions available for a time. Then consider the newspapers and magazines that carried inserts, and community Facebook groups where shoppers sometimes post photos of leaflets. If you are trying to verify a price for a complaint or a dispute, a screenshot or a till slip from the time is stronger evidence than a leaflet.

When you find a leaflet, check the validity dates, the store formats it applies to and the loyalty conditions. Be cautious about using old prices to judge today's deals. Inflation has changed prices significantly, and promotions work differently across years. The best use of an old leaflet is to learn patterns: which categories were featured, what discounts were typical and how often events occurred. For prices, use the current catalogue.

Consumer tips for reading any Checkers catalogue

Look at the dates first, then the conditions. Many prices need an Xtra Savings card, and some apply to specific store formats such as Checkers Hyper or Checkers Foods. Calculate the unit price of any item you plan to buy in bulk, and compare with other retailers. Plan your shop around the front-page specials, but check the inside pages for category deals that suit your household. Note that fresh produce and meat specials often have shorter windows or run out by the weekend.

Use the catalogue to build a list before you go, and stick to it. A well-planned shop reduces impulse purchases, which are the biggest threat to your budget. If you shop online, remember that delivery fees and substitutions can affect the total. Finally, keep your slip and check it against the leaflet: if a special did not scan correctly, ask for the price to be corrected before you leave the store.
