Talking about the rising cost of living feels like listening to a broken record, but it’s an undeniable reality – one that often hits harder than just your wallet.
Budgeting can only do so much, as the harsh truth remains: you need to earn more than you spend, and for most people, that’s not the case. But a recent video circulating on social media offers a different perspective.
A shopper at a popular South African store captured a surprising moment while waiting in line. Standing close enough to see the checkout total of the customer ahead, they were stunned to witness a staggering bill of R27,130.

One person described the fact that this woman tapped for a total of R27,130.21 as "diabolical".
While another wrote, "She even tapped. Mina, with R11 in my account, I deactivated the tapping feature. Can't stand someone picking up my card and tapping."
"I am more vexed by the fact that the trolley is not even full."
"I cry over R2000 … 27k ???"
"A couple of years ago when I was doing IVF my total was R21000 for my meds."
"Must be appliances and designer perfumes. I know they stock very expensive coffee machines and higher end perfumes n colognes, could be those things combined."
