After completing her study session, Grace discovered her grandmother's cupboards were practically empty. Without hesitation, she took a friend with her to the shops for an extensive grocery haul. During the shopping trip, she even stopped to take pictures with fans who recognised her.

The shopping list included fresh oranges, lettuce, potatoes, onions, cabbage, spinach, coconut oil, peppers, grapes, eggs, nuts, milk, frozen meats, chips, sausages, chicken products, sweets, snacks, juice, cold drinks, and essential toiletries. The total bill came to over R4,100, which Grace paid without hesitation.

Beyond the groceries, Grace surprised her grandmother with a box of pizza for dinner and took her out for a haircut. The video shows her gogo's excitement as they unloaded all the shopping, and the joy on her face after getting her new hairstyle was priceless.
