In the clip, the woman wasted no time as she began her dash by grabbing four large bottles of cooking oil before moving swiftly to collect six bottles of mayonnaise. Her pace only intensified as she reached the canned goods section, where she picked up eight tins of baked beans, then turned back moments later to add another eight, making sure she stocked up properly.
Her strategy continued in the drinks aisle, where she loaded six bottles of Coke into her trolley without hesitation. From there, she made a beeline for the tinned fish aisle, selecting eight cans of Lucky Star pilchards, a pantry favourite across SA.
