Cough mixtures, along with several food products that are hearty and perfect for cold weather conditions, are slightly more affordable at the moment, Stats SA said on Wednesday.
Five hundred grams of hot chocolate had previously averaged about R54.24 but the average price was now about R53.69.Peanut butter was also a few cents cheaper at R31.49 — a save from R32.12.
It may be a good idea to stock up on these as the SA Weather Service on Wednesday told TimesLIVE that it was possible that the country could see another cold snap before officially welcoming spring. While many may be startled by the sudden cold weather, forecaster Bransby Bulo said this was not the coldest winter the country has seen in recent years.
“The weather we are experiencing, including the snowfall we have seen, is not that much. In previous years, we have seen so much snowfall it called for road closures, but now we didn’t see it any of that,” said Bulo.“The cold front has moved through and left behind the cold weather. It is just cold air left over by the snowfall from the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and even the Lesotho mountains.”
