Festive grocery haul

TikTokker Thando Makhubu uploaded a video on the social media platform showing internet users what she bought at Makro for over R5 000.

The items included things suitable for the kitchen cupboards, drinks, bathroom items, detergents, and skincare products.

Thando, who said she was surprised to see the total cost was "reasonable," told app users:

"Granted, I never bought meat yet but think of all the things I'm not going to buy in January. I'll probably do weekly restocks. I feel like I got my money's worth."
