WHAT THE MAN BOUGHT FOR R2125
A South African man @_blackza took to X on Sunday, 14 April to share a video of groceries he bought at Woolworths for R2125.
“What R2125 gets you at Woolworths,” he captioned his video.
In the video, it appears that the man did not include cheese, milk, bread, sugar, rice, cooking oil or eggs on his grocery list.
South Africans were divided about his grocery list as many revealed that it would not last a month and that there were so many things missing.
While some stated that the popular retailer, famously known as Woolies is not as expensive as many think compared to other retailers.
SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO WOOLWORTHS’ RECEIPT
@OnkeBlack: “Still a lot missing but in general Woolies is not as expensive as many think it is… if some of these items were replaced by more practical everyday items like Bread, Milk, Oil, Sugar it would be even cheaper. At Pick n Pay this would cost more.
@titibucee: “He mainly bought combo. The only thing that I would say is expensive at Woolies is meat. And he bought sausages and mince which are affordable. The spaghetti is R60, the veggie combo is less than R150, the kitchen towel is R40 or R60 for 2. The can tomatoes are also affordable.”
@LoveMandy4: “For two weeks at least. And seshabo se a shota (there’s no meat). There’s no cheese and ham. No milk, no bread, no sugar, no rice, cooking oil no eggs. Man, so much is missing.”
@Siga948031501: “I just need this kind of challenge in Shoprite shopping in the same amount of groceries and see what it will come with.”
@Morakane4182591: “I would starve…. there isn’t enough meat, don’t see milk and cereal…no toiletries, no washing detergents.”
@mirandabeta4741: “That’s not enough even if you live alone, there is a lot missing, and it’s still a lot of money for stuff that won’t even last you a month.”
@fulungwana: “Woolworths is not that expensive compared to other stores and has many combos and specials. Meat after 2 pm also becomes cheaper with 30% off.”
