What made the video resonate was just how practical and affordable the items were. None of the products shown crossed the R70 mark, and the creator's upbeat energy made it feel less like an advertisement and more like a tip from a friend who had just discovered something great. PEP Home, the homeware offshoot of the popular South African retail chain PEP, has built a loyal following for stocking budget-friendly household items. The video by @budget.babe.diaries_ tapped straight into that reputation. Watch the PEP Home budget kitchen haul that has Mzansi talking:
