In the face of rising food prices, many South African families are looking for ways to make their money go further.

R800 groceries for a family of 2

A woman who goes by the TikTok handle @life_with_meg_and_t shared how she manages a monthly grocery budget of just R800 for a family of two, which may seem nearly impossible, but with careful planning and smart choices, it can be done.

In the video, she went on to showcase what she bought, such as bread, noodles, snacks, meat, potatoes, pasta and many other foods that are both affordable and filling. A 10kg bag of maize meal, for example, can go a long way when spread across a month. Adding tinned goods such as pilchards, baked beans, and tomatoes, which offer variety and nutrition at a low cost, was all part of the woman's R800 groceries.

People on social media were impressed by the number of items the woman was able to get for just R800, and the TikTok video went viral, gathering loads of views, likes, and comments.

In challenging economic times, budgeting smartly is a form of resilience. With discipline and resourcefulness, a small budget can still put hearty, nourishing meals on the table.
