A young Cuban woman from Miami, @chinareyes1604 on TikTok, shared a video on the platform detailing the purchases she had made at "the Chinese stores" to take to her family in Cuba.
For $110, the tiktoker managed to purchase a variety of products that range from hygiene utensils to seasonings.
In the video, chinareyes1604 mentioned the importance of getting a scale to not exceed the allowed weight limit in suitcases.
Among the featured products are packages of razors, various types of soaps, and underwear for your dad. Condiments were also part of the purchases: "Sazón Iberia, more Iberia seasonings, and the essential Goya seasoning that all Cubans love."
The followers' reactions were not delayed, with comments such as: "You have great taste in shopping!"; "Those flip flops are beautiful, surely your mom will love them"; "I love those soaps, I'm going to look for the avocado one"; "It's so satisfying to buy things for Cuba, these videos give me so much nostalgia"; "You are very organized, I wish I could take so many things to Cuba" or "Take them out of the boxes and they will take up less space. Have a happy trip. Blessings."
The video of this young Cuban woman, which shows the reality of preparing a trip to the island trying to perform magic with the suitcases and being able to bring a little bit of everything they need, also serves as a contrast to the amount of things she was able to acquire for $110 and the sad reality of Cuba, where scarcity, inflation, and shortages affect everyone.
