The lady had been shopping at Woolworths when she picked up a cake that she had been craving. However, she had to put it right back because she couldn’t afford it.

Cravings can wait

Many would say that grocery shopping is only complete once you fill the trolley with some of your favourite things, but today, no one would confess to ever saying that. South Africa’s economic state has humbled almost everybody, regardless of their tax bracket.

The woman attempted to purchase a R100 tiny cake but tossed it back on the shelf once she realised it would run up her bill. She captioned her TikTok post:

Shopping at Woolworths

Mzansi has always known Woolworths to be the Beyoncé of all supermarkets, where not everybody could not walk in as though it were an accessible restroom. A woman on TikTok attempted to buy one of her favourite goodies from the store but took it back on the shelf when she realised she couldn’t afford it.

Yes, Mzansi, South Africa’s economic state has humbled even those who were once mistaken for rich. This is what netizens had to say:

@Grateful110 tried to comfort the lady:

"You will cry for R100. It's way too sweet and not as soft and fluffy as their fridge cakes."

@Tholly

"I always do this but no, Woolies is a scam sometime. The size of that cake and the price, no ways."

Briefly News also reported that a woman on TikTok shared her monthly groceries, which amused Mzansi. The lady named Sissa Kape showed her coffee table filled with her monthly groceries while including over 12 bottles of Woolworths wine.

Kape only has six food items to cook for the month, which amused Mzansi. The TikTokker made it clear that her life is somewhat different by announcing that she is no wife material. Usually, this means that a woman could care less what the next person has to say about them.
