Dalaucrew got three peeps to volunteer to do a run and see if they could get lunch for that amount.

Off the volunteers went inside Gateway Mall in uMhlanga in KwaZulu-Natal, each in search of the perfect yet cheap meal.

Here's the clip:

The volunteers, Brett, Levana and Rose, came back with the loot after doing their respective shopping.

Brett’s run was a little comical as he dropped one shoe, stopped, picked it up and ran with it in his hand.

When they returned 15 minutes later, they proudly displayed the inexpensive meals they got for that amount.

Brett reported that he went to Checkers and copped himself litchi-flavoured water, small chips, two rolls, a Lunch Bar and free parking. He spent R42.10 with some change to spare.
