R3k Checkers groceries haul

Johannesburg-based content creator Odwa Mzuzu uploaded a reel on Facebook showing people what she bought at Checkers for a whopping R3 000.

The groceries, which included fruit and vegetables, sweet treats, cooldrinks, dairy products, cereals and condiments, to name a few, filled her kitchen counter. While it may be a lot to some, the quantity didn't necessarily match the cost in Odwa's eyes.
