A light-hearted TikTok post by user @nurnisaamira recently caught the attention of many online after she shared an amusing moment involving her mother during a trip to an Econsave supermarket.

In the now-viral clip, Nisaamira captured her mother not doing the usual, painstakingly inspecting each onion for quality like most mums would. Instead, she was seen busily collecting onion skins that had fallen around the onion display area.

The video shows her mother filling up a plastic bag with red onion and garlic skins, seemingly unfazed by the curious looks around her. Amused by the scene, Nisaamira captioned the video, "She brought home a whole bag, okay. As if we don't have enough at home."

As it turns out, there's a practical reason behind the onion-skin hoarding. Nisaamira explained that her mother uses the collected skins as organic fertilizer for her home garden.

This revelation struck a chord with many viewers, especially those familiar with natural and sustainable gardening practices. One TikTok user even pointed out that onion skins at supermarkets are usually free for customers to take.

The comments section quickly filled with light-hearted reactions. Many were entertained by the mother's carefree behavior, while others speculated that supermarket staff might actually appreciate customers who help clean up the onion skin mess.

Some users also praised the mother's initiative, saying it's better to reuse natural waste for something useful like fertilizer than to let it go to waste.

From turning heads in the supermarket to winning hearts online, Nisaamira's mother has proven that sometimes, even the most ordinary moments can bloom into something unexpectedly wholesome and eco-friendly.
