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)

Something's wrong there I reckoned £35 being generous. They do make mistakes pricing. I saw a tin of tuna for £7 in the co-op one week. A tin of pineapple for £3.70 in Asda. So check

I was going to say £40 until your extras. I thought Aldi had gone up a lot in price, their super 6 for example.

were the beef cubes coated or for stewing steak?

we live 12 miles from our nearest aldi, and once ive done click and collect plus petrol it was cheaper to get Asda delivered for £2 and get salad and milk when we need it.

Answering without reading the answer for the fun of it. Aldi is supposed to be cheap like Lidl so I’m gonna say £15 but the description of the bottle and box wasn’t very specific which made it harder to guess.

£45 is a lot for a small bag of shopping at Aldi. I must start meal planning, I keep meaning to so that I can make the most of everything I buy.

Aldis prices are on a spiral upwards, literally everytime I go now things have gone up by 5p, 10p. It has to be the meat, the indian trays and the ham that have driven the price up. I would be a bit gobsmacked at £45 too though.

Aldi is sometimes more expensive for certain items. I shop between Aldi, Asda, Iceland and Lidl now. Its a pain but I begrudge paying extra for the exact samd thing.

Blimey, I did a big shop there today, £69.26, it was so big my shopping next week should be under £40.00. I even got the huge pack of loo rolls that cost £6.ish in that.

I don't think you are.

My weekly shop last week was £40. In Aldi.

It included (from memory!)

Pack of beef medallion steaks
Pack of thick cut back bacon
500g chicken mince
14 slice pack of honey roast ham
Extra mature cheddar
Bag of easy peelers
Two packs of salad tomatoes
Celery
Baby spinach
Kale
Cucumber
Onions (3 pack)
Garlic (4 pack)
0% fat Greek yog 500g
Pack of Tube-its yogs
Cornish salted butter
Toffee pudding thing (child was with me)
4 pints of milk
1 litre banana milkshake
8 pack fruity water
Pack of mint Seal bars
6 pack prawn cocktail crisps
Tin of beans
Bottle of washing liquid (bio concentrate)
Bottle of moisturiser
Seeded batch loaf
Box of 4 toffee and vanilla cornetto type icecreams
Handwash
Pack of stock pots

(No wine as got my bi monthly wine subscription last week).

That was £40.

About £17ish ?

I'd say £30.

£34 with the extras

I thought £17 then with the update £23 but that was rounding up I thought it would be slightly under. £45 😳

£45! No way. I'm shocked.
I shop at Aldi and always joke with the cashier, giving them my estimate of the cost before they scan it. I'm always within a couple of pounds and I know the price of everything.
£45 for those items seems wrong to me, I guessed £31.
Today's shopping cost me £123 and I guessed £123.60. 😎

I went to Aldi this evening and bought

Rolls
Madeleines x 2
Tangerines
Grapes x 2
Spring onions
Red pepper x2
Pasta x 2
Beef tomato
Frozen tuna steaks
Lettuce
Cold meats (ham/chicken)
Apples
Eggs
cooked chicken drumsticks
cheese slices
Breakfast Pastries/waffles
Crisps x 2 multi pack
Part-bake baguettes
Sunflower oil
Gnocchi x 3
Pasta Sauce
Concentrate juice x 2
Lactose free milk
sunscreen x 3
aftersun
toothpaste

(a lot is to take on holiday next week)

it was £62 which I thought was ok

I find shopping in Tesco cheaper than aldi these days if you have a club card, and I can get everything I need there. However that doesn't seem right can you put everything in the app and price it up?

Yabu for drip feeding 😂25 pound?( can I get extra points because I’ve converted from euro?!

45?!?!?

£30 I guess, but your measuring is not very good is it.

So on the Tesco app you could have bought that for around £19.89 or clubcard price £17.64.

Im guessing with the container and bottle though.

key: ()= clubcard price A: Aldi price match lol 😂

Beef pieces £4.25 (3.50)
mango chutney £1.10
2x onions 50p
bag of peppers £1 A
3x microwave rice £1.05 A
plastic box £4 (2.50)
drink bottle £3
2x naans 59p A
garlic bread 74p A
sugar 65p A
glour 80p
indian selection 2.50

guessing as in picked a mid/low range item that might be similar

Not read the thread yet because spoilers but this is my guess

Small tray of beef pieces - £4
Jar of mango chutney £1
2 onions £0.30
Bag of wonky peppers £1
3 packets of microwave rice £0.50 x 3
Small, plastic container £1?
Cheap drinks bottle £0.60
Tin of mixed fruits £1
2 Naan Bread's £1
Garlic bread £1
Small tray of Indian bits (bhaji and samosa x2) £2
Flour £1
Sugar £1
Garlic clove £0.40
3 yoghurts £0.50 x 3
Bread £1
Small pack of ham £2
Butter £2.50

So £23.80 is my guess!

*flour

I'd guessed around £37

Apologies, missed the mix tinned fruit.

so plus £1.10

£20.99 or £18.75

You need to check your receipt as there's something not right, as others by this point have pointed out that is just not £45 worth of groceries even in a higher end store.

I know the cost of a food shop has gone up but seriously a £1 raise in the price of the coffee I buy that and 10/30+ pence added on most items is taking the pip. I'm pretty sure there's no need for practically every item to go up in price.
