Shopping in South Africa's economy can be a very tricky activity. Grocery shopping today is nothing compared to how joyful it was a couple of years ago when R500 could get you a month's worth of essential items. 

Today, R500 can get you a vegetable combo, and if you're lucky, you can get a loaf of bread; that's how hectic things are. An impressive university student showed Mzansi how to shop like a pro after spending only R950 on her monthly groceries.

The money-savvy student was able to buy everything from toiletries, meat, dairy products, snacks, fruit and vegetables, drinks and more for under R1 000. She caused major chest pains when she posted a stunning grocery haul that spurred many South Africans to ask the lady's secret to spend less money while buying more.
