Noma thought she was paying R109 for sausage, not realising that she was paying R109 per kilogram when the two packs she bought would still be R172 and R177.

She wrote in her caption:

"Woolies is going to be the death of me."

Thousands of social media users headed to Noma's comment section to express their thoughts about her confusion concerning the store's item.

"People who buy from Woolies usually don't bother looking at the price."

@amberhitchinson also laughed and wrote to Noma:

"It's not Woolworths' fault. You didn't read the label properly."

@nikitamyataza1 shared their shopping experience:

"This happened to me last month, and mine was R237.99. I’m still angry at them. I used Checkers Sixty60 this month. I need to heal first, and finally, you saved me."

@josman494 posted their opinion in the comment section:

"Woolworths and Clicks will continue confusing us with the prices on their shelves."

@iamvince_r told the online community:

"I understand her frustration. This has nothing to do with the meat being expensive. Rather, the expectation for customers to calculate the price or be shocked at the till. Weird market conduct."

@tsakisa1 laughed, sharing with Noma:

"At least you noticed at home. My card would have declined."

@mluleki30 jokingly stated:

"That's their trick to deceive customers. One needs a PhD to understand their pricing."
