In the viral video, the lady, who resides in the city of Changzhou, explained that she wanted to see if she could afford the ingredients for a full meal of "Couscous and Pepper Chicken" within her strict budget.
"Alright, so stay with me; let’s see what I can buy with 4,000 Naira here in China. But let me say here in Changzhou, because you know prices differ in every city. So yeah, let’s see what 4,000 Naira can buy for me here," she said.
Lady spends N4,000 in China market
To the surprise of many Nigerians back home, she was able to pick up a significant variety of items, including:
- Chicken breast and multiple chicken legs (laps).
- Fresh ginger and garlic.
- A large quantity of fresh chili peppers.
- Green beans.
- A pack of eggs.
Initially, her total came to just 13.17 RMB (approx. N2,600). Determined to use the full N4,000, she went back to the meat section to add more chicken.

Narrating her story in the TikTok video, she said:
"I went back for more chicken because I’m making pepper chicken, so let the chicken be much. So I added two more chicken legs. I went to weigh it and then... it is now above my budget with just 1 Yuan. But I was like no, don’t worry, I know what to do. I can fix this. I went back and I kept one chicken—the one that is big—and replaced it with a smaller size because what? I am smart. So what do you expect? I went back and I weighed it, and this time around, it is within our budget: 20.69 RMB."
She eventually paid 20.69 RMB (roughly N4,100) for the entire food item.
