Netizens react to Christmas lamb offering

South Africans had mixed opinions and questions they asked TikToker @sirkeagan after he shared his clip:

@privatechef_cyclistmello defended the price and explained:

"It's gorgeous and for those complaining about price, just make your own at home with a crumbed herby crust. You're paying for convenience at Woolies and I love that about them. ✨"

@god_power thought it was reasonable and said:

"Oh yeah, I saw the price, not bad."

@boyabenyathi shared his struggle and revealed:

"I was so excited when I saw beef wellington at Woolies, only to realise that the last R659.99 I had was for school shoes 😭😭😭"

"The best and reasonably priced."

Why free-range meat costs more

Free-range meat is more expensive than regular meat for several reasons. Free-range animals are raised with more space to move around and aren't kept in cramped conditions. They eat natural food instead of chemicalised feed, which costs farmers more money. The animals also take longer to reach market weight because they grow naturally without growth hormones.
