Rising grocery prices continue to strain the wallets of Australians, especially as we all try to save money in these uncertain times.

This was shown starkly when Australian shopper Nat decided to make a home-cooked meal in an attempt to save a few dollars.

To her shock, a small number of items that would contribute to a single lasagne meal amounted to nearly $50 at Woolworths!

In a video on social media, the shopper said: ‘I just spent $46 on lasagne ingredients, and I already had half the ingredients at home. $46 f***ing for lasange. Are you f***ing joking?’

'I should just eat Maccas every day', she continued, suggesting that McDonald’s could still be a more affordable choice for cash-strapped Aussies, even considering its high prices.

To back up her claim, Nat shared a photograph of her receipt that showed a clear breakdown of the cost involved in her $46 meal.

The shopper said she had only purchased items for the one dinner and hadn't bought anything extra.

Here’s a breakdown of what the shopper bought for $46.

Understandably, Aussies who are already struggling financially are feeling the impacts of the increase more heavily.

According to a survey early this year conducted by comparison and financial literacy website Finder, the average household already spent $199 per week on groceries alone, up from $184 per week in June 2022.

Around 78 per cent of respondents said they were looking for cheaper meals or discounts to cope with runaway inflation, and half admitted to feeling financially pressured over higher costs. Similarly, some Aussies said they were skipping some essential items like cereal or razor blades altogether.

In August, a mum who had compared 52 products from an online order in late 2022 to current prices at Coles pointed out that the same shop cost her $192.80 then compared to $226.24 now—an increase of $33.34 or 17 per cent.

While some might think high grocery prices incentivise patronage of fast food, fast food places have also seen their prices increase.

According to UBS analysis, price hikes of 8 per cent and 14.7 per cent for McDonald’s and KFC, respectively, had been observed since August.

So what can we do to try and offset the rising cost of food?

Switching to no-name brands is a good way to save money.

Many made this suggestion in response to Nat's video, noting that her purchase of branded items was a definite way to increase spending at the checkout.

While Nat responded that ditching branded products was 'not that much cheaper' with a difference of only a few dollars, viewers insisted that a few simple switches—such as swapping lean mince to regular mince—could still make a difference in her grocery bill.

Some also said that going for a ready-to-eat lasagne meal would have been a cheaper option, but she fired back by urging people not to compare a store-made product with a homemade meal.

‘This is wild. I tried to get ingredients for lunch at Coles the other day and realised it was cheaper to get a $15 meal at food court,’ another shared.

‘It is actually very true. Some restaurants are much cheaper than doing it yourself,’ agreed a second.

Nat’s story comes just as Coles and Woolworths were criticised for alleged ‘price gouging’ amid rising prices recently, with several shoppers increasingly feeling they were getting less at a higher price.

However, Coles defended its pricing, citing a $2.60 profit per $100 spent and business costs such as construction, energy, logistics, and packaging in a newly released statement.

Meanwhile, Woolworths reaffirmed its commitment to fair deals for shoppers, staff, and suppliers, acknowledging the strain on Australians from the rising cost of living.

Key Takeaways

• An Aussie shopper shocked over spending $46 on ingredients for a single lasagne meal at Woolworths.
• The shopper, a woman named Nat, posted a video and receipt of her grocery bill on social media, causing widespread discussion.
• The cost of groceries in Australia is a major concern, with supermarkets facing accusations of ‘price gouging’.
• Both Coles and Woolworths have defended their pricing, attributing higher costs to increased business expenses and cost-of-living increases.

Although supermarkets have previously shut down accusations of ‘price gouging’, it’s clear from Nat's experience—and countless others—that shoppers on a budget are feeling the effects of rising prices more deeply than ever.

All those ingredients would make for a family...if it were for one person,she should just freeze the leftovers

 

[Julesmac]

So here comes a 75 yo Nanna weighing in....at high school we did an awfully old fashioned subject called home economics....as others have already said, she'd already have staples like onions, garlic & butter in her pantry. firstly buy staple groceries at Aldi- buy larger sizes of tinned tomatoes and paste, decant into smaller portions; check out the unit cost per gram/item & you'll see just how much extra you are paying for the pre-shredded cheese & parmesan; really no need to buy lean mince - at a premium - Aldi have various categories like 3 and 5 star mince - perfectly adequate. And if she also grated zucchini and carrot into the mix that would extend the volume. Why add in the cost of a shopping bag? She'd be the only person in Australia who doesn't have a gazillion spare bags! Seems like she did a late dash to the supermarket with no list and no planning - both are guaranteed to cost you more. So, spend a sunday arvo planning meals for the next month and organise the shop accordingly. You might have to do a small fresh veg shop in between. A quick suggestion - make a giant batch of spaghetti sauce. Freeze to have for the remainder of the month so#1 Monday - Spag bol; #2 Monday, lasagna; #3rd Monday pasta bake, #4th Monday chorizo with bol sauce over spaghetti. Every Tuesday it's chicken, Wed is stir fry, and so on. Planning might be boring but planning saves time and money. My favourite thing is going to the local market for fruit veg fish & meat - it's always cheaper and fresher. All supermarkets have weekly specials and between the four cover pretty much all staples in a month. It's not rocket science but does require a bit of work and planning. Instead of having a moan on social media!

 

[Catherines]

Think most people have onions, carrots, cheese, garlic etc already and do not buy specifically for one recipe!!! Sorry she is making a mountain out of a molehill!!!

No, no !! She was trying to make Lasagne!!

 

[Codger]

Yeah it can be a mine field trying to sort the stuff out. We feed our small dog fresh meat so I end up buying the leanest mince or some cheap steak to cut up. Shampoos and conditioners can be dreadful. Some of the cheaper ones work but that also can depend on the water. From the profits they make they could afford to cut the prices and then they might make a similar profit from selling more

Shampoos and condiioners mentioned here, my wife does al of our shopping in a bid to keep a alert eye on what is happening behind supermarket shelves. We us a general skin treatment based product in the shower as body wash, last week my love noticed that it can be about $2.00 cheaper to buy a same volume bottle of liquid without the dispenser pump than to simply pick up the complete bottle with new pump every time she buys the product; we just put the old pump into the new bottle, as w do for a number of products otherwise.
Note also, there must be a question about what is the difference between body-wash and hand-wash? The only thing that I reckon to be the answer here is THE PRICE. We have been refilling bathroom hand wash pump-bottles with the body-wash from pumpless bottle for some time now.

I presumed everyone used the first pump they bought isn’t that why they sell ones without pumps.makes sense to me.

Yes I have been doing the body wash as hand wash for quite a while. Big bottle without the pump is cheaper. Just refill the pump bottle. I have gone a bit expensive lately as I've bought tallow soap. I am also looking at their body wash to use as a shampoo. Supposed to last quite a long time. You can use citric acid as a hair rinse instead of conditioner. 1/8 teaspoon in a litre of water. Put into a spray bottle and spray on hair after shampooing. Cheap as chips

I discovered a wonderful English lady called Nancy Birtwhistle who's on Instagram. She makes her own cleaners & all sorts of other things, from basic ingredients like baking soda, vinegar etc. Her aim is to simplify, cut food waste, prevent nasty chemicals from entering water (like chlorine from bleach). She's also published a couple of books which are excellent. She can get stains out of anything!! Having looked in my daughter's laundry cupboards, I was absolutely astonished at how many different cleaning products she has. I've given her a copy of Nancy's book!

 

[Kenneth Taylor]

No matter what the Multi Nationals say about prices and how they arrive at those prices every business is aimed at making a profit. There is no business in this country that is aiming to go broke with setting their prices at a ridicules low level.
The two basic reasons that prices are skyrocketing towards a luxury buy is 1) Fuel costs, and 2) Electricity costs.
Regardless of what the Governments say, or the Political Parties from all sides of the game say, they DO and CAN control the price of these two major products which are both essential to any production costs. This is where the Price Gouging is hitting the citizen with the high costs of living. Also, the Lunicy of chasing Utopia in the form of Clean Energy without the inclusion of Nuclear Energy. It has now come to light that Nuclear is the cheapest and most reliable power source in the world. The footprint of a Nuclear Power Plant is miniscule compared to the land waste of paddocks of Solar Pannels and sky lines of polluting wind turbines. Nuclear Power Plants can be built on the sight of the Old Coal Power Stations and use 80% of the infostructure that the older plants used. The costs and disruption to the citizens is reduced to a minimum. also, our country Australia, has the best and richest Uranium in the world.

Why are we forced to live as third world poupous in our country which is the God Given Land of Milk and Honey?

I discovered a wonderful English lady called Nancy Birtwhistle who's on Instagram. She makes her own cleaners & all sorts of other things, from basic ingredients like baking soda, vinegar etc. Her aim is to simplify, cut food waste, prevent nasty chemicals from entering water (like chlorine from bleach). She's also published a couple of books which are excellent. She can get stains out of anything!! Having looked in my daughter's laundry cupboards, I was absolutely astonished at how many different cleaning products she has. I've given her a copy of Nancy's book!

I’ve got “housewife superstar” the very best of Marjorie Bligh. Tasmanian born and bred a superb book like the one above. Had it for donkeys years I don’t think you can get it today. Barry Humphries loved her.
