People in South Africa questioned the authenticity of the grocery haul, speculating whether it was a promotional stunt or if special discounts were involved. The post became a talking point across the country, with many debating how far a budget of R200 could go in today’s economic climate.

Sue Hyman said:

"Never that cheese is at least R110."

Zoe Gray added:

"Yeah, no, that's is a lie. Even if you were using a saving card, 4 or 5 items of yours are already R200. There is no way. Not even the people working there get so many items for that amount not even with their discounts included."

Anneke Pieterse wrote:

"This is a lie, cheese alone is more than R120. She visited an other planet, not South Africa."

Anita Struwig expressed:

"Nonsense. The cheese is already more than a R100."

Lebogang Lebo commented:

"That is impossible, R200 with those items."
