That's exactly what happened to one internet user who recently stumbled upon the price of a 2kg box of biscuits. Over the years, the rising cost of everyday items has become a common theme, but it still has a way of catching us off guard when we least expect it. Let’s dive into this sweet (and pricey) story.
Hold Up—Biscuits Cost How Much?
X user Nhlanhla Mabaso (@_NMabaso) decided to bring this to everyone's attention when he posted about the cost of a large box of Bakers' Choice Assorted Biscuit Range. This isn’t just any box—it’s a favorite during the holiday season, the one you pull out when family and friends are gathered around for some festive cheer. But when Nhlanhla snapped a picture of the price tag, it was clear this wasn’t your average treat. The biscuits were listed at a whopping R369.99 at a local supermarket. In his caption, Nhlanhla summed up the collective sentiment with a simple yet powerful statement:
"Asoze! (Never!)"

Netizens Weigh In on the Biscuit Drama
As the post went viral, reaching over half a million people, social media users couldn’t help but chime in with their thoughts. It was like a virtual town hall meeting where everyone had something to say about the steep price hike. Let’s take a moment to hear what some of these users had to say:
@Ntsoanef shared her perspective:
"I always thought these were going for R50. So much money for refined carbs, excessive salt, and sugar? Glad I’m not the target market."
Since these biscuits are typically associated with holiday indulgence, @BaeSickGuy humorously remarked:
"Christmas can miss me."
@sowazis tried to offer some context:
"It is 2kg, people. 1kg is roughly R190, so this is not a bad price for a 2kg."
@OlifantJNR had a more proactive approach:
"They can eat them on their own. We will buy flour and bake our own or support small businesses ekasi."
@AndiswaTsh added a nostalgic touch:

"Christmas Day will never go on without this thing."
And @Mzombe couldn’t resist throwing in some humor:
"There is inflation, and there is whatever heist they are pulling here."
Another Price Shock: Woolworths' Sausages
While we’re on the topic of price tags causing confusion, let’s not forget the story of a local shopper who was left scratching her head over the price of Woolworths’ sausages. After getting home, she realized the cost was higher than expected, prompting her to share her experience online. Some social media users could relate, while others suggested she should’ve paid closer attention to the label at the store. Whether it’s biscuits or sausages, one thing’s for sure—prices have a way of surprising us in the most unexpected ways.
