You would think that any tip that allows people to save money on groceries right now would be considered to be a great thing. However, this mother’s grocery shopping hack has actually gotten her roasted.
Mimi Carter is responsible for running the family TikTok account and she never could have expected all of the attention that this video would end up getting.
The clip she made received over 6 million views and 10,000 comments since it was posted. Once you see the hack that she has come up with, you will understand why the internet is on her case.
When we first see her, she is holding broccoli stalks and this woman has decided that she is going to remove these stalks from the heads of the florets.
“I am not paying for these,” she declares with full confidence. “I am only going to pay for what I am going to eat,” she says, as she tosses the rest of the intact broccoli back into the display. We are absolutely flabbergasted by what we have seen here.
How on earth could she feel good about doing this? What is going through her mind? “Snip snip,” the video is captioned and she has inspired a lot of conversation since it was first posted.
In case anyone was curious, she also posted a follow-up video and walked everyone through her process.
“And I just leave these at the store, okay,?” she says, as she tosses the stalks directly at the camera. “Y’all can have it. I don’t need it — wash my hands of it.”

The comments were not impressed by her and they let her know it. The jokes were flying left and right. “I take my lemon squeezer since I don’t use the lemon peels,” joked one viewer.
“Do you peel the bananas too?” another viewer inquired. Others reminded her that the parts she discarded happened to be rather tasty and nutritious. However, we highly doubt that she is going to be changing her mind on this one. It’s too bad. We just hope whatever savings she is gaining from doing this are enough to offset the embarrassment of having the whole internet mocking you.
