AIBU - Aldi: How much should this have cost...?

I'm not sure if I should be shocked or I should have realised everything will cost more due to cost of living situation etc and I need to suck it up.

However, Mumsnetter's!

How much do you think the following should have cost?

Small tray of beef pieces
Jar of mango chutney
2 onions
Bag of wonky peppers
3 packets of microwave rice
Small, plastic container
Cheap drinks bottle
Tin of mixed fruits
2 Naan Bread's
Garlic bread
Small tray of Indian bits (bhaji and samosa x2)
Flour
Sugar

One bag of shopping from Aldi. This is also a bit of fun/tongue-in-cheek to help me get over handing over the money when it came time to pay and my daughter needed to unfurl my iron-like grip from my card and put it in the card machine for me while I stood there wondering when are my kids gonna get a job at the ages of 8,9, and 14 and buy me food instead and leave my money alone.

Alas, here I am! So...how much!? Have a guess!

(I didn't get a receipt. Daughter was too busy guiding me out of the store through my veil of tears and catatonic state. I might actually just be a tight-wod!?) Hubby works full-time, I work full-time.

Anyway!

How much!?

(Stffu, Aldi! Stffuuuuuu! hisses)

£20?

fruitpastille · 02/07/2022 20:54

About £20-25 depending on the container and water bottle.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 02/07/2022 20:55

£20

Patapouf · 02/07/2022 20:55

£35-40 but the container and bottle could push that up.

Food is terribly expensive these day.

SickKid · 02/07/2022 20:55

Total guess - £18 or thereabouts?

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 02/07/2022 20:55

Somewhere between £20 and £25.

oblada · 02/07/2022 20:55

I'd say around the £20.
But you really need to have an idea before you get to the till. I always add up as I go along if I'm right for cash... Gives me a rough idea if nothing else.

gamerchick · 02/07/2022 20:55

About 30 quid.

A bag of rice is probably cheaper.

Festivalpartygirl · 02/07/2022 20:55

£24

Kadj · 02/07/2022 20:55

£18

fruitpastille · 02/07/2022 20:55

Ok, more like £30 maybe a little more with those other items

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 02/07/2022 20:55

£26 with the update

Youdoyoutoday · 02/07/2022 20:56

£10-£12
But maybe £15 if the bottle or plastic container was more than you first thought.

Can I ask why are you asking though? Have you been charged too much or too little?

Luredbyapomegranate · 02/07/2022 20:56

15 to 20 quid??

mnahmnah · 02/07/2022 20:56

For Aldi, I would guess £15-18.

I did my weekly shop there recently to try and cut costs and was shocked that it cost the same as my usual Asda shop. But the quality is worse and things were missing because you can’t get things there that you can in any other supermarket. I won’t be going back
