An appreciative @evedipuo thanked the content creator for the plug and wondered:
"Genuine question because I want to go, how are the expiry dates?"
Still at Home replied to the TikTok user with their experience of the store, writing:
"It varies, so you need to check before you take. The Woolies stuff has about one or two weeks before expiry, while the other products have longer shelf lives. But some things can even be less than a week."
@thamsanqa_rsa shared with people on the internet:
"I used to frequent the Fair Cape Factory shop in 2012 when I was staying in Dunoon. Their expensive custard used to be R12 for a 500ml. I really loved it. I must check them out again."
@swaggittarius001 added their opinion in the comment section:
"Good deals, but these are all ultra-processed. So much sugar, fat, and additives. We pay for it with our health in the long run."
@majesty_danelle, who didn't live in the area but was interested in the deals, wrote to Still at Home:
"Ma'am, can you please be a runner for us who are not in Cape Town?"
An unlucky @aishah_abrahams told the online community:
"They don’t always have stock. I must time them properly. I drove all the way for nothing already!"
