Her story went viral on social media after Colombian influencer Herman Mauricio Osorio shared a TikTok video highlighting Saturnina’s venture. In the video, she explains that she buys a thousand eggs at 12 salt and sells them individually for 50 cents, managing to sell about 800 a day.
With these numbers, he ensures that he can earn a monthly income that is well above the minimum wage in Peru, allowing him to support his family and finance his studies. The video made a huge impact on TikTok, garnering thousands of comments, likes and shares.
Some users praised Saturnina’s efforts and dedication, while others expressed disbelief at the low price at which she buys eggs. According to some internet users, such a price would only be possible if purchased directly from the manufacturers and under certain conditions, although others note that the price may vary depending on the area and season.
