Each couple had an R100 note, which they used to purchase food from different fast food restaurants. They each got Steers Rave Burger and chips for R30, Chicken Licken hot wings snack for R30, Romans Pizza Sava's small something with drinks for R36.90, and chips from a local chip shop for R19.

In the video, they unveiled all the food they had bought as they indulged in it from the comfort of their car. The couple set a challenge for themselves to spend no more than R100 each while still creating lasting memories. What followed was a heartwarming example of how love and fun don’t have to come with a hefty price tag.

Mzansi social media users were stunned by just how much the couple managed to do with such a limited budget. The post racked up thousands of likes, views, and comments, with many praising their creativity and discipline. Some users even said the couple’s effort served as inspiration, especially in tough economic times when many are looking for more affordable ways to spend quality time.

The clip has sparked a broader conversation about budget-friendly dating ideas and financial mindfulness in relationships. It also set off a mini trend, with other TikTok users attempting their own R100 date challenges.

With the cost of living continuing to rise, the couple’s simple but meaningful experience touched many.
