Airlebanon,
I think he was referring to Quid as in the GBP. A tin of Deo costs between R10-R18. Toothpast between R4 and R10. A burger/chips will set you back between R20-R30. Pizza is between R20-R50. Steak/chips about R35-R70. A pack of ciggies is somwhere between R12-R20 (I don't smoke). Visit
Pick 'n Pay to check out the local shop which is pretty much the equivalent of Tesco's.
Shout if you need any other info on SA...
URC
