Mcinga managed to buy cereal, a packet of six yoghurts, two trays of sausage, a tray of red meat, a packet of pasta, rice and a two-litre bottle of Oros.

The items cost a lot of money individually; therefore, it is hard to understand how the lady managed to get them all for R200.

She captioned her post:

"What R200 got me at Spar. This month's grocery groceries."

Spar to investigate after photos of allegedly rotten food

Briefly News also reported that Spar is trending for the wrong reasons after pictures of expired foods surfaced. Pictures show the Spar on Main Reef in Randfontein storing expired foods and meats in unsanitary conditions.

South Africans, some of whom worked in retail, shared similar stories of how the store allegedly packs meat. Spar told Briefly News that they were aware of the pictures and that the matter was under investigation.
