Per calculations, the young woman spent roughly R8 500 from the R10 000 budget.

She bought a variety of bedding, hangers, a side table, and kitchen items, among other things, from Mr Price, more kitchen utensils from PEP Home, pillows from Continental Linen, and cleaning supplies and storage containers from China Centre. It is unclear what she had bought from the other three stores.

When asked in the comment section if the budget was enough, she said:

"Not really, but I got everything I needed. Groceries and stationery were not included, so yeah, I got many things."
