Durban mom shares money-saving fruit hack
Sometimes it's the smallest things that have the biggest impact...
Jessie Buxton is a popular Durban content creator who enjoys sharing her mom's hacks and fails with the world of social media.
This time, the Durban mother shared two valuable hacks when shopping for fruit. She went as far as to say that sometimes, buying fruit can be compared to daylight robbery.
It sounds like a stretch, but we think she is onto something. Buxton shared her first video on how to save when shopping for berries. We all know that strawberries and blueberries can get pricey, so get smart instead of forking out more.
She shows us the price of a 250g pack of strawberries, but if you go to the deli section, you can get almost 300g for around R27,00 (a saving of roughly R20,00).

Some people were thrilled to find this out, while others were not as impressed and said the deli fruit was close to going off, which is why it was cheap.
Buxton said that that was not the case, and she tasted it, and it was fresh.
Buxton didn't stop there; on another shopping day, she found a packet of bananas marketed as 'Kiddies bananas'. The packet, which contained four bananas, cost R19,99. She called this the banana daylight robbery.

Most people were grateful for the hack. Sometimes shoppers don't think to pick their fruit because they are rushing; you can save some extra money for a few extra minutes.
If you notice, she saved around R12 just for picking her fruit.
