The price of food became the talk of the town after a student posted his R2,000 grocery haul in a TikTok video. The gent slammed down all the items of food he bought, which netizens found hilariously unnecessary.

Food for days

TikTokker eltonlesego shared the clip that started with a massive receipt of all the items he bought. He then places all the items one by one on a table, showing the drinks, vegetables and dairy products he purchased.

Pushing that lifestyle content

eltonlesego is quite serious about his content. The man has curated TikToks about what he gets up to daily. One video shows what he got up to on his first day back at varsity and another shares his class prep. One thing the man has in spades is great cooking skills. One TikTok showed all the fancy dishes he was able to cook.

Other clips show his fancy lifestyle, with flights, and gorgeous views at what seems to be lavish holiday resorts, and another shows off a lovely picnic experience. One thing that immediately jumps into view when glancing at his videos is his taste for appealing aesthetics. The way some items are placed makes it seem as if the man is advertising for a lifestyle magazine.

Folks across Mzansi gathered under the gent's video to complain about the price of food, while some were amazed that he could afford expensive Pringles.
