Our Story:

Special Buys is an internationally proven concept — reinvented for SA. A destination for value, excitement, and discovery. We believe that shopping should be more than just a transaction—it should be an event. Our story is rooted in a simple, high-energy passion: the relentless pursuit of delivering the absolute best prices in South Africa without ever compromising on the excitement of the discovery.

The Wednesday Drop

Every Wednesday, 5–7 high-value products drop at unbeatable prices. Limited stock — gone forever the following week. Customers come early. They come often.

Everyday Specials

A permanently stocked but constantly rotating range — famous brands, overstock deals, and factory-direct items. Every visit reveals something new at SA's lowest prices.

Always The Cheapest

Direct factory sourcing from Asia (no middlemen) + exclusive brand overstock deals. If it's not the cheapest in SA, it doesn't get stocked. Every time. Guaranteed.

Innovation in Your Pocket

We know our customers move fast, so we’ve built the tools to help you keep up. The Special Buys Member Rewards App is your backstage pass to the value revolution. Our members are always the first to know about upcoming deals, ensuring you have the inside track before the Wednesday rush.

Beyond the alerts, our app is our way of saying thank you. Every spend brings you closer to your next reward, allowing you to earn points while you save money.

Unbeatable Value: We scour the market to ensure our price tags are the most competitive in the country.

Special Buys isn't just a retail destination; it’s South Africa’s home for the "Special Buy." Whether you’re a seasoned bargain hunter or a first-time visitor, we invite you to join the hunt.

Find it. Love it. Get it—before it’s gone.
