Woolies Hot Cross Buns Stoke Up Hot Cross Christians
29 Mar 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
Woolworths South Africa has earned the Almighty’s ire, not to mention that of dozens of their (former) Christian customers on Facebook, by besmirching their delicious, fruity hot cross bun packages with Halaal certifications. If it’s not soft drinks, it’s holy baked goods! Have they no shame?! Full details of this outrage after the jump!

Woolies Wants You To Put All Your Eggs In Their Basket
17 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Woolies wants you to do all of your shopping in their stores, and soon. They don’t want you to pick up a few things and then mosey on down to Pick n Pay or Spar to buy the rest of what you’re after, because it’s cheaper. Woolies have a vision: they’ll make those things cheaper because they’re opening bigger supermarkets.

08 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 9 Comments
Woah! I was more than over-the-moon when this little video appeared in my inbox. I have no idea if it is purely on the web or if it’s on TV as well, but one thing is for sure, it’s RED HOT! Check out this ad for Woolworths Distraction Lingerie: Well done, Woolies – now you’re […]

WOOLIES ONLINE BROWNIE-POINTS MACHINE
17 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
They seriously should have called it OnlineBrowniePoints.co.za instead of WooliesHampers.co.za, because that is essentially what it is. It’s an online machine that produces brownie points in exchange for a few mouse clicks and a credit card number. Seriously. It’s quite silly. Remember that hamper I bought last week for Marina, to celebrate the birth of […]

WOOLWORTHS ONLINE HAMPERS – DO NOTHING, BE AWESOME
11 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
There is a saying I made up a few years ago when I used to smuggle my cat, Homer, through customs. I used to tell my friends, “Don’t let the cat out the bag.” Since then, it’s use has slowly evolved and now people use it as an actual saying. They mainly use it to […]

CRAZY ANGELS AT JT 1 LINGERIE FASHION SHOW
06 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s common knowledge that I am a big fan of the Woolies JT1 lingerie range (I’m not alone, it seems) and have never seen a better example of why this is, as on Saturday night at the JT1 fashion show which took place at Cape Town’s FTV Cafe. Every single girl involved was an absolute […]

TBG SIGHTING SEALS THE “BEST BIRTHDAY EVER”
20 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Whilst the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy) spell is being felt and discussed as far afield as New York, I received this TBG sighting over the weekend. In a very rarely seen twist of fate, a Capetonian managed to double up an incredible 33rd birthday with a TBG sighting! I mean, REALLY, what are the chances!!?? […]

STEAMY NEW WOOLWORTHS JEANS AD!!
07 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Nice to see Woolworths aren’t scared to sex it up a little bit when the moment takes it. This video must have given the Woolworth’s ultra-conservatives a heart attack! Two things to be aware of – the track in the background is Fort Knox by Goldfish (my personal fave tune of theirs) and the main […]

WOOLWORTHS AREN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES
06 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 12 Comments
I cruised into Woolies on Saturday with The Photographer (who just won a bronze lion at Cannes for this, I might add) and spotted something I had never seen before. “Suck me sideways!!” I yelled, “look at THIS!!” Woolworths have now erected a “complementary sanitising wipes” station next to the trolleys. It dispenses wet-wipes for […]

MOTHER’S DAY AT WOOLWORTHS – BUY WOOLWORTHS MOTHERS DAY GIFTS ONLINE!
04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]

I bought a couple of these puppies at Woolworths earlier this week and haven’t had a chance to try them yet. It’s a can of Thai Green Curry from Woolworths and comes with bamboo shoots and baby corn! On the label it says : “just add chicken, fish or prawns.” I also bought 4 portions […]

PRIMI PIATTI CAMPS BAY IS NOT INTO SERVICE
28 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]

THE BEST DARN DVD STORE IN CAPE TOWN
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It was a couple months back that the Interior Decorator told me that I “simply HAVE to visit DVD Nouveau” on Bree Street in Cape Town. She told me about their incredible selection of DVD’s for rent, including every series and all the classics. I looked for the shop, but I couldn’t find it and […]

WOOLIES WINE FESTIVAL DEBUT
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve never been to the Diemersfontein Wine Farm before and, given that it was the first of it’s kind, I had never before indulged in the Woolworths Wine Festival. And what a treat it was! Positioned next to the town of Wellington and owned by Woolworths co-founders, The Sonnenberg Family, the farm is one of […]

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HATH MADE
05 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We’ve chatted before about this lovely game the Atlantic Ocean plays from time to time, called “lake-lake.” That’s what it is doing today. It usually comes with an ever-so-thin haze in the sky, causing the ocean to look almost metallic in colour. Camps Bay – todayvery kak Yup, that’s the one. So anyway, […]

FINE
26 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was feeling a little peckish the other day. I knew I shouldn’t be having carbs, but I felt noodles could slip through the net without detection. I wasn’t close to Long Street, so Noodlebosch was out of the question. And I didn’t hangover so I couldn’t deal with the dried out nonsense from Knorr, […]
