A local man was in utter disbelief when he saw the quality of the eggs he bought from Woolworths, popularly known as Woolies. After sharing that he paid for the item with a credit card, South Africans entered the comment section in wonder.

He did not specify which size or price, so he could have paid R91.99 for 18 large free-range eggs, R109.99 for 18 extra-large free-range eggs, or R129.99 for 18 jumbo free-range eggs.
