On 3 September 2025, Instagram user pstbet posted a video showing a woman participating in a trolley dash inside a grocery store. As the buzzer started, she sprinted straight for the rice and chicken aisle without wasting a second.

South Africans quickly understood her mission: go for the hearty essentials that stretch a household budget. The video felt fun, relatable, and quite strategic, showing someone who knew exactly what mattered most.
Her rush toward the basics highlighted how many families prioritise filling staples at the right price, especially when given the chance to grab items on the clock.
