The clip quickly gained traction as users across South Africa expressed disbelief over how much she was able to buy with such a tight budget. Many commented on how R500 barely stretches in other retail stores, especially amid rising food prices.

Thandoh's post has since sparked a broader conversation about the cost of living and where consumers can get the best value for their money. Some praised Boxer for offering real value to low-income households, while others expressed frustration that similar items would cost nearly double elsewhere.

As the cost of living continues to rise in South Africa, more consumers are turning to discount retailers like Boxer for relief, and this R500 haul might just be proof that bargains are still out there, if you know where to look.
