A local woman captured the attention of many after sharing a video of her shopping haul from a new Woolworths concept store in the North Coast of KZN.

The clip, shared by TikTok user @thebenekes, was met with a mix of amusement and admiration, with others requesting the shopping bags in their stores.

The video starts with @thebenekes standing next to her husband, who is amused by her story. She humorously tells her viewers that if anyone wants to get all the items for free, they should go shopping with their husband's cards. She then starts unboxing the food inside gorgeous tan and cream Woolworths bags, which have a silver foil lining inside to keep the food fresher for longer.

The new Woolworths concept store in Ballito

She first takes out a beef lasagne, raving about how quick and easy it was to make. She then takes out waffle potato crisps, promising to make them and share a video of her husband, Shalltin, tasting them. She then shows the baby food range from Woolworths, saying the food has no preservatives, no sugar added, and nothing that is not good for the baby. She moves on to show Brussels Sprouts and Woolies strawberries, which she says are 'unmatched.'

Once all the foods are out of the first bag, she shows it off, calling it a 'cool bag,' and notes that it has a velcro strap for closing on the top. She then opens the second bag, which has mostly vegetables, and a third one with house-cleaning detergents. The woman raves about the new Woolworths concept store. She adds it has speciality sections, and that she makes it a family outing where they go around, have some tasters, and look at what the sections offer. She advises those who have not been to try it out.
