- Replies 7
One of the things that you won't want to forget this season is the Christmas roast!
No Christmas table is complete without this classic festive dish, and surely adding one to your shopping list will make your holiday gathering a huge success.
However, we all know how expensive this dish can get nowadays, especially with the price of meat is at an all-time high due to inflation.
But did you know that one lucky shopper was able to nab a Christmas roast for a mere $1.20?
You read that right, folks! A Coles customer recently shared with a popular Facebook group how she managed to pay just $1.20 for a 1.33kg Australian Pork Leg Roast.
The 1.33 kg piece of meat was on sale for $9 per kilo. But in a rare mishap, the item had a price tag reading only $1.20.
'Found a whoopsie at the local Coles today - $1.20 for a pork leg roast,' the shopper wrote in her post.
Many shoppers said that situations like this are not a rarity and that you should always check the label while shopping as mislabelling can give you unexpected discounts.
Several people also said they were impressed to see such a great buy, and one user even claimed to have got a similar deal.
'I got a pork leg for $3 because of an oopsie,' one person wrote in the comments section.
A second user agreed and added, 'Yes, it always pays to check.'
Others asked the woman if there are other mislabelled items from the freezer section.
'Did you search through the pile for others?' one person asked.
Meanwhile, several expressed their amusement over the bargain find.
One comment read: 'Oh wow! Even at the real price, it’s a bargain ($9 per kg!).'
'How good is that? Someone stuffed up. Great score,' another said.
A third chimed in: 'That’s the best find.'
