While the world has entered a new year, it seems like inflation rates are yet to come down as the heat of rising prices has hit everyone. From groceries to gas and rent, it has touched every aspect of life, proving that things are getting more expensive as the days pass. Amid such a situation in many countries including the US, people from middle-income households are struggling to pay their bills. If you do not believe this is true, a video going viral will definitely clear your doubts. A woman recently shared a TikTok video where she pointed out how she had to pay $115 for just a few purchases.
The video is now going viral on Twitter and has prompted multiple reactions from people. Shared by a Twitter handle named ‘Wall Street Silver’, the clip shows the woman holding a bill while the shopping items lie in front of her. As the footage starts, she begins by saying ‘For anybody who thinks inflation is not real, this right here cost me $115 dollars.”
The items included basic things like toilet rolls, milk, flour, juice, and deodorants, among others. As soon as the video was shared, many took to the comment section and shared their reactions to the video. While some spoke in support of the woman and shared their struggles with inflation, a few others also called out the woman for purchasing ‘unnecessarily’ pricey things and going for expensive brands.

A user wrote, “There has to be some item there that is like $40, because the Flour, Juice, “milk”, Salt, Salad Dressing, Parm Cheese, 2 jars of pasta sauce, and a stick of deodorant are like $30 bucks max”, while another person remarked, “I see a lot of unnecessary purchases there. Don’t buy bechamel sauce, you can make it in a few minutes. You probably don’t need the Ranch, juice, or fancy fruit. Ditch the use once masks and get washable ones. Spend wisely, not in misery.”
“Brand names prolly in an upscale grocery store, she is not a good shopper. no, this doesn’t work, but you can beat it if you shop sales and switch to off-brand and go to the Mexican grocery… Oh, and make your own spag sauce or shop it on sale and buy quantity…”, a third user wrote.
In the meantime, the video has so far amassed over 5 million views and attracted over 25,000 likes.
