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)

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

In future you should get a receipt

If the food container and drinks bottle were the ones I saw yesterday they were special eco ones at £4.99 each....

44 quid then. Grin

Always ignore the middle aisle.

Come on OP, spill.

Should have minor change from £25 for all that, as long as the container was under £5.

By drunks bottle do we mean a reusable one? Cos I'd expect that to be a tenner on its own!

I'd say maybe about 35 then with a reusable drinks bottle. £20-25ish worth of food

Snaketime · 02/07/2022 21:05

£30-£40? Are you actually going to tell us OP?
I mean I did a food shop to last a month, a trolley full (about 6 bags full) cost me about £150.

StaunchMomma · 02/07/2022 21:05

With the additions I'd say about £24

BruceWaynettaSlob · 02/07/2022 21:06

When's the big reveal @GingerWit ?
I'm guessing £32

Motnight · 02/07/2022 21:06

Op half the replies you will get will be from posters who haven't read what you missed off. So all a bit pointless really!
