"People had been tagging me for months to come to the cookie factory, so guess what? I'm here. Let's go and get some cookies," she says at the start of the video.
She continues walking through the store, showing viewers the different items and their prices. She decided to take two of the ginger biscuits that were her favourite, valued at R9 each. Choco rings were going for R14.50. She also got excited after finding shortbread biscuits for R16.

Why affordable stores matter
Content creator @lalahassan_ shared the video to show her followers where they can find affordable biscuits and crackers in Johannesburg.
According to StatsSA, consumer inflation has been rising, with food prices reaching a 15-month high in June 2025. The annual rate for food and non-alcoholic beverages reached 5,1%, with meat prices, particularly beef, continuing to drive food inflation. Stewing beef rose by an annual 21,2%, the fastest pace on record.
Other food items like beetroot, lettuce, and carrots also saw sharp price increases. This makes stores like the cookie factory important for South Africans looking to save money on luxury food items without compromising on quality.
