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

[GingerWit]

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)

Very odd. I spend £75-£85 a week in Aldi for a family of 3 plus a dog.

I find the aisle stuff more than you’d expect for Aldi .

I think you’ve been overcharged at the till. I buy all those things regularly and even adding your drink bottle and plastic tub I can’t see this being much more than about £30 even adding on for price rises in the last week. If not that’s a big price increase!!!

About £30 I'm surprised how much I spend even getting a handful of items
Is their a co op near u? I find they are slightly better. Sometimes I get fruits and veges down the market

I guessed around £26 before you posted the actual price. You were robbed!

Around £26

No, there's been a mistake somewhere. I'm very familiar with Aldi prices, and I estimated at between £28 and £32, depending on the cost of the bottle and tub.
There's no chance it was £45. Unless you got other stuff that you forgot to list?

I think you’ve been overcharged/mischarged for something. However I always come out of Aldi expecting my shipping to be cheaper (on the odd occasion I shop there). I find Lidl more consistently cheaper (where I do my big monthly shop).

That said everything is shooting up in price - and by a lot more than the published rate of inflation!

How do you buy two onions at Aldi?
They come by the kilo or nets of three.

OP also managed to buy a clove of garlic

I let that one go to avoid appearing pedantic 😅

I am sceptical of OPs ability to recall the shop content accurately but also well impressed she got it all in one bag.

Swap to Lidl? I got two bags of shopping for £27 yesterday including meat.

I remember my mum used to add up on the way around the cost of everything going into the trolley. That way she knew she could afford all the essentials and if there was any spare for treats. I used to do it. When my asshole ex expected me to get a week's shopping for £20. That was late 90's-early 2000. We have the benefit of using the calculator on our phones. So might be worth doing that to avoid situations like this.

She probably ment a head. A clove is obviously a section.😂😂😂 I'd expect at least two bags for that.

I would have said just under £30 so I’m shocked too.

£18-£20?

I would say £37.99

£27.40

Is this still going on? At least read the OPs posts man

Yet everyone else on the post guessed way below what the actual costs was.
