Viewers \u201ccrying\u201d after finding out what $100 worth of UK groceries looks like TikTok: @lolcrusher_In a video that quickly went viral on TikTok, viewers were left astounded after seeing the amount of groceries that $100 gets you in the UK. Back on June 18, @lolcrusher showed viewers all of the items she\u2019d managed to buy for $100 at Aldi. \u201cSo $100 is around 70 pounds at the minute, I\u2019ve just done my weekly food shopping at Aldi, I spent 73 pounds so I\u2019m gonna show you what I got,\u201d she said, translating American dollars to British pounds. She then panned over to her kitchen counter, with all of the items laid out. \u201cSo you\u2019ve got chicken breast, sausages, ham, pepperoni, chicken wings, and a free range chicken. Yogurts, haloumi, smoothie, milk. Just some bits for the fridge, coleslaw, hummus, olives, seafood sticks, garlic bread,\u201d she said, pointing to the items. \u201cSome freeze bits, I\u2019m gonna make McDonald\u2019s breakfast on Sunday,\u201d she said, pointing to some pre-packaged egg and sausage muffin sandwiches. She also showed a plethora of other frozen items, including ice creams, hash browns, Yorkshire puddings, among some of them. She also got a ton of items for the cupboard, including rice, oil, noodles, tomato sauce, and spaghetti. Finally, we saw her breakfast items, which were enough to lay out a whole feast. This wasn\u2019t it however, as she\u2019d also managed to bag a ton of bathroom items within her $100 budget, including tissues, baby wipes, shampoo, conditioner, and face masks to name a few. The video has since racked up close to 8 million views on TikTok, and viewers were left stunned by what they\u2019d seen. \u201cAs a Canadian I cried. I got that amount today at the grocery store and it cost me $450,\u201d one wrote. \u201cThe meats alone would take the whole 100 here in the US,\u201d another said, followed by a crying emoji. \u201cEven at Aldi, it\u2019s still $350 at least for all that in Georgia,\u201d another chimed in. A few British customers were also left feeling a bit confused, as they claimed that the woman\u2019s shopping exploit looked more like it cost \u201c\u00a3100-150 worth,\u201d which translates to $126.50-189.74. It turns out that according to one comment, the video was actually from 2021, explaining the crazy low prices demonstrated in the video. \u201cFor those in the UK questioning the price. I found this video on the proper account and it was posted in 2021,\u201d they said. Despite this, many of the commenters still maintained that the price outlined in the video was relevant to their shopping experience today, writing: \u201cThis looks like \u00a380ish to me.\u201d \u201cI shop at Aldi weekly and spend about \u00a350 for the three of us. Including packed lunches,\u201d another concurred. Another shopper went viral on TikTok after they found the deal of a lifetime at IKEA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
