In the picture, it seems the store has promised a R15 discount on Bran Flakes which are now being sold for R35. However, a closer inspection reveals the discount is only about R5 as the cereal was originally sold at R39.99. Hectic!
Naturally, social media users were not here for being scammed in broad daylight. One person hilariously remarked that customers should go looking for the manager.

"Shoprite should stop playing with people's minds, I visited the store yesterday for this red weekend they have been talking about, only a few items are on special but they put all prices on red stickers, if you don't check well you will go blind."

"Yho, I saw the same scam, went to buy noodles, the tag said R20 for 3 on single packs, when I saw the packet which has 5 single packs is R20."

Man treats bae to shopping trip, comically makes her solve equation for ATM pin
In more funny news, Briefly News previously reported that a local man has social media users laughing after placing some interesting conditions on his girlfriends latest shopping spree. It seems the gentleman will let his lady spend a ridiculous amount of cash on his bank card if she can solve his ATM pin.
Heading online, Twitter user @danielmarven shared a snap of the written message the hilarious lover-boy left his lady.
"This Guy knows how to treat his woman for sure," he sarcastically captioned the post.
South Africans were also super shocked by the post. Many ladies hilariously remarked that they'd get their brainy friends to solve the equation while some people argued that no solution to the equation would offer a 4-digit ATM pin.
