People shocked after seeing UK shopper's £48 food haul amid price rises

People shocked after seeing UK shopper's £48 food haul amid price rises

The internet was left completely divided by the food haul

Just about everything seems to be going up in price these days and it seems the food shop is of no exception.

The cost of living crisis - what a lovely little phrase that is - has led to a nationwide inflation on a whole number of products.

And, one Aldi shopper has since left the internet in shock after showing their £48 food haul amid price rises.

The shopper took to Reddit to share some snaps of their food shop along with the receipt, titling the post: "£48 (€56) worth of groceries in the UK."

The food haul consisted of 35 items including mostly vegetables, meat and some booze.

Four cans of IPA came in a £2.99, premium baked beans were 42p a pop, frozen fruit was £1.99 and chunky fish fingers were a slightly higher £2.79.

The Reddit user also picked up a 500ml bottle of olive oil setting them back £4.59 along with some gyozas for £2.69, squeezy mayo for 95p and turkey steaks for £3.49.

Sourdough bread was a decent £1.59 while piccolo tomatoes were a pretty pricey £2.49 a pack.

Fresh herbs, a ball of mozzarella, painkillers, mushrooms, rocket and rice crackers all came in at under a quid each too.

Some people were outraged at the haul as one Reddit user hit out: "Ten years ago I could manage for a fortnight on £50, and you can bet wages haven't risen as fast as the price of food.

"Also, that oil is DISGUSTINGLY expensive but I think there's some sort of olive plague at the moment?"

A second commented: "That's a lot! Then again, most of it is veggies and chicken."

"You are paying too much," claimed a third.

Others, however, clearly weren't as shocked by it.

"Yup. Buying oil is like getting kicked between the legs several times," joked one Reddit user.

Another added: "ALDI is great for value."

Some, interestingly, even thought it was decent value with many hailing the UK as being 'cheap' when it comes to the food shop.

"Living in Norway this would be easy £120, IPA pack like that is £18 on its own!" explained one person.

Another added: "I live in Hungary and I'm always amazed how much cheaper food is in the UK."

While one user commented: "Way cheaper than Toronto Canada. Those canned tomatoes would cost over £1 each converted."

"UK is cheap!" echoed someone else, while a final Reddit user piped up: "Our food bills are cheap, our rent on the other hand..."

Now that's a whole other story.

What do you make of it?
