"F*** petrol and electricity prices. S*** just got real! "

Mzansi peeps felt exactly where the Twitter user was coming from and commented what they thought about the store prices. One of the responders said that they had not been able to afford the shopping at the store for many years. Others took it upon themselves to tag Woolies and asked on the store's social page why their prices remained high even though petrol prices recently decreased significantly.

Others Woolies customers came forward with tips for when buying from the store. One man said that he prefers to buy items close to the sell-by date and then freeze them, and another social user compared the store's chicken prices to a much cheaper Checkers grilled chicken.

Take a look at some of the interesting social media responses;

"Funny thing is petrol just came down... By quite a bit.

"@WOOLWORTHS_SA what's your excuse???!"

@Rene_KrugerLG said:

"The ugly truth about rotisserie chicken is that it gets grilled a day after the sell-buy date."

"I like to buy sell-by date meat and chicken at Woolies for 30% discount after 2 in the afternoons. It can still last 3 days in the fridge. There is no need to freeze immediately."
