Checkers Liquor Specials Today: Where to Find Them and How to Judge Them

Quick answer: Today's Checkers liquor specials are listed through official Checkers channels (website, app, catalogues) and on the shelf tags in your store, and some prices depend on your Xtra Savings card. Liquor is sold through Checkers LiquorShop outlets and can be delivered with Sixty60 where available, with age checks. Prices differ by store, so we do not quote them here.

Last updated: October 2026. Facts come from Wikipedia (Shoprite Holdings, Checkers) and BusinessTech reporting on Shoprite results.

Checkers and its liquor business

Checkers belongs to Shoprite Holdings, which Wikipedia describes as Africa's largest supermarket retailer, with 3,710 stores across eight countries in June 2026. The Checkers brand is listed with 786 stores in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. In the year to December 2024, the group reported a net 80 new LiquorShop stores. The Sixty60 service delivers groceries and alcohol, and the group says it is at in-store prices. If the Checkers offers are not quite what you need, it is worth comparing them with the latest Pick n Pay catalogue before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Xtra Savings in practice

Checkers' rewards programme launched in 2019, and Shoprite's followed in October 2020. Shoprite has reported that members saved billions of rand in a single six-month period, which is why scanning the card is worth the second it takes. For liquor, that means checking whether the shelf tag shows a card price and whether it applies to the pack size you want.

1. Register your Xtra Savings card or phone number.
2. Open the app and look at personalised offers before you shop.
3. Scan at the till every time, even for one bottle.
4. Review your slip to confirm the card price was applied.

Ordering liquor through Sixty60: step by step

1. Open the app and confirm your delivery address so it picks the right store.
2. Browse the liquor section and compare prices per unit.
3. Add items and check the delivery fee at checkout.
4. Be home with valid ID, because age checks apply on delivery.

A fair price-comparison method

Step	What to do
1	Pick three products you buy often, such as a 750 ml wine, a 24-can case and a 1 litre spirit
2	Record the price at Checkers, a SPAR tops! outlet and a bulk chain such as Ultra Liquors
3	Divide by volume to get the price per 100 ml
4	Repeat on two different weeks to avoid one-off distortions

Hosting responsibly

• Offer food and water, not only drinks.
• Arrange lifts or e-hailing before the party starts.
• Stock non-alcoholic options for drivers and guests who prefer them.
• Remember that the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05 g per 100 ml.
