A local man’s hilarious video expressing his uses for his reusable Woolworths shopping bag captured the attention of social media users.
The funny clip, shared on TikTok by @ecks_ves, gained massive views and comments from social media users who reacted with a wave of amusement and shared experience.
The video starts with the man showing off the popular Woolworths shopping bag. He humorously notes that the bag costs R8, and after buying them, people fold them neatly and put them away. He stresses how useful the item is, saying that they use it to carry many things, including work lunches and gym clothes, stressing its multiple purposes.
The Woolies shopping bag is multi-purpose
The man further adds that people are now using the bag to carry their picnic items, jokingly replacing the popular Fieldbar. He also notes that students use it to carry their books. The humorous man said they only discard the bag when it starts having "dreadlocks" (becoming worn out). He finished off the video by whispering that they sometimes use it even when they shop at other grocery outlets, a humorous admission of financial savviness.
