Pick n Pay's new Smart Shopper Pro costs R99 a month. Three asap! deliveries over R350 and it pays for itself, but nothing rolls over, so a missed month is R99 gone. #SouthAfrica #PicknPay #SmartShopper

Tax tip: your medical aid tax credit went up on 1 March. For 2026/27 it's R376 a month for you, R752 for you plus one dependant, and R254 for each extra dependant (up from R364 and R246). There's also an additional medical expenses credit many people never claim. #SARS #MedicalAid

Your medical aid tax credit went up for 2026/27, and there's a second credit most people never claim

It’s that time of year when medical schemes send out next year’s contribution letters, and most of us wince and move on. But there’s a part of the medical aid story people tend to forget about: SARS...

Money tip: with the repo rate up to 7.25%, you hit SARS's tax-free interest limit sooner than you think. Under 65 it's R23,800 a year, so at 9% (the 5-year RSA retail bond rate) only about R264,000 fills it. From 65 it's R34,500, about R383,000. TFSA interest doesn't count. #SARS #Savings

Since the Reserve Bank lifted the repo rate to 7.25% on 25 September, cash is paying properly again. The government’s own retail savings bonds were paying 8.25% for 2 years, 8.5% for 3 years and 9%...

eBucks tip: Is your FNB Premier account paying for itself? The fee is R260 a month (Fusion) or R285 (Current Account). Spend R2,000 at Pick n Pay, R500 at Clicks and 60 litres at Engen on your Virtual Card and you earn about R193 at Level 3, but about R715 at Level 5. Your level matters more than your spend. Spend limits apply. #eBucks #FNB

Is your FNB Premier account actually paying for itself? Do the sum at your real eBucks level

Most eBucks talk is about what you get on Level 5. Fair enough, that is where the big numbers live. But plenty of us sit on Level 2 or 3 for months, and that changes the maths on whether Premier is...

Pick n Pay now sells R5, R10 and R20 Appreciation Vouchers at the till, a cashless way to tip car guards. The catch: the whole voucher must be spent in one shop, it gives no change or cash, and a lost one is gone. #SouthAfrica #PicknPay #CarGuards
