We've all been there, staring at the empty wallet and counting coins just to make sure we have enough to get by. The cost of living has reached astronomical heights, and every dollar we earn or save seems to disappear in rent, bills, and groceries.

It's no surprise that many of us are feeling the pinch and are unable to indulge in exciting experiences, let alone go out for dinner with friends. It's essential to pause and remember the little things we’re grateful for.

Grocery shopping may be a stressful experience these days, but for one ALDI customer, it was a heart-warming reminder that kindness still exists.

A shopper recently took to a local community Facebook page to share an incredible story of a selfless gesture she witnessed at the check-out.

The customer from New South Wales said that the kindness of a stranger towards an elderly woman in front of her completely stunned onlookers.

The woman wrote: ‘Shout out to the beautiful lady at ALDI today at lunchtime when an older lady before her couldn't get her card to work.’

'She swiped her card to pay for her goods!’

The customer who witnessed the whole thing said the older lady was overwhelmed to such a point that she couldn't even find words to express gratitude.

‘She obviously has never had such an awesome act happen to her,’ she continued.

With the rising cost of living, the generous woman's selfless act really made the shopper’s day.

'It warmed my heart, brought tears to my eyes and made my day,' she said.

Many people agreed that the simple but selfless act was a lovely gesture.

In an amazing turn of events, the generous woman who paid for the groceries saw the post and commented.

'It's the least I could do,' she wrote.

She went on to thank the kind commenters but then went on to say it was something she was happy to do.

'I appreciate it, but you would've done the same,' she wrote in her reply to the post.

They knew that she would always go out of her way to help others.

A couple of weeks ago, someone else on the post also revealed they had experienced a similar situation.

'This happened to me not so long ago at ALDI! My card was not working on my phone, nice lady paid for my groceries - $180,' they said.

Another shared: ‘I had that done for me a couple of weeks ago in Nowra for no reason. It does make you feel grateful that there are still nice people in our midst.’

That is so so awesome. I once paid for an elderly man's medication at a well known pharmacy chain. He counted coins and didn't had enough. I paid it with love for him, he had tears. It feels soooooooooo good to do this kind of thing for another person ♥

I have actually done the same in the Victoria Point Aldi store for an elderly lady. she did not have enough to cover her groceries and was going to leave out her bread... the total bill was only $12 something so I covered it for he and was proud to do so.... One day I might that sort of help.... one never knows

A little bit of kindness goes a long way to help make someone's day. Besides, you do not know what the other person is going through.

My mother lives in Taree and shopping at Woolworths her card wouldn't work and a lady came up and said to the teller to use her card. It was for around the same ammount and she wouldn't let my mother repay her.

It is so good to give even if it isn't money your time is just as valuable.

I look at it when you die you can't take your money with you , but by doing good for others it banks wealth for heaven .

But you should be doing these things from your heart.

The only thing that gets me with this story is how did the giver find the story online?
Or was the actual author of the story the giver ?

When I do good for others I keep it to myself

I had the same experience in Orange Aldi a few weeks ago. As I’ve mentioned before I’m in my mid 40’s (yes I get along better with the older generation), and even though my shopping was under $10, my card wouldn’t work. The gorgeous lady behind me, younger than me, was going to swipe her card but I beat her to it by throwing the cash I had at the cashier! We gave him a good laugh so hopefully it made his day. But on a day when my anxiety and depression were high, this beautiful woman helped me realise there are supportive people in our community.

Recently I was in Melbourne with 4 friends - all early 60’s. The escalator at Southern Cross wasn’t working- we were all struggling up the steep staircase with our bags - 2 young men coming down - smiled - passed us their coffee to hold and grabbed all our bags and took them to the top - made our day - acts of random kindness are so rare these days - hats off to these 2 young men - your mums would be proud x

It is good to share when you do these Random Acts of Kindness as it is not looking for praise but possibly inspiring others to be kind too. I belong to a Facebook group called The Kindness Pandemic where we share acts of kindness we have received and that we have done and it is a very uplifting group. It is possible with the many thousands of members they have that both the giver and the shopper who noticed the kind act are both members. I have seen that happen in the group before.

In the many shops I've been in I've the years I've never seen anyone do that. Personally I wouldn't spend my own money on a stranger. I'm not a bank and want to use my money on me.

Why don't these people know how much they've got to spend before they go shopping? And what happened to all the "old people" that supposedly don't know how to use a debit card for paying and can only use cash? Are there some people that purposely do this? Maybe they go to different shops trying to get something for nothing?

In the many shops I've been in I've the years I've never seen anyone do that. Personally I wouldn't spend my own money on a stranger. I'm not a bank and want to use my money on me.

Why don't these people know how much they've got to spend before they go shopping? And what happened to all the "old people" that supposedly don't know how to use a debit card for paying and can only use cash? Are there some people that purposely do this? Maybe they go to different shops trying to get something for nothing?

I'm thinking they just don't realise how much things add up to and unfortunately some people need to pay with coinage they have its sad but at least they are not begging.

If I had the money and saw someone in need I would pay , it's called being selfless and caring. It's not like giving to someone begging that you don't know their true motives it's helping someone who is in a certain situation that are trying.

A little kindness goes along way

To The Grinch a couple of posts above, we "old people" always know how much we have to spend because there isn't much of it. By the time we have arrived at the store and done our shopping, inflation has blown out our budget by a minimum of 5%. When you are scraping what little you have left of your pension it makes a difference between paying the bill and not paying the bill. We "oldies" rely on surprises and kindness to get us through so lay off the negative statements even if they might be slightly true.

I’m so sorry you’ve never witnessed anything like this happen- I think it’s usually in food stores not other shops so much. I have seen this happen at Aldi and it happened to me once at a Woolworths store when the card scanner malfunctioned and I had no cash- a very kind man who was waiting at the front of the store walked up with cash to help me out - it was just the best feeling of being surrounded by a beautiful community. I had the money to pay him back and got his details, but I had to really press him for this as he saw I was older and just wanted to give it to me. I said to him that one day I might need to do that- but not today!
I think of him often when I hear of so much evil in the world and it warms my heart.

I hear what you say, but not so sure about relying on other people’s kindness- but it’s wonderful when it happens

The only time I didn't have enough money was the one time I had to decide what I could do without. No fairy godmother for me, unfortunately. Now I make sure on pension days that I pay all bills first using online banking. Then once a month on a pension day I go to the doctor after that shopping while I still have money in the bank. Anything left over in the bank goes to pay for milk my funeral fund & mobile calls. Hopefully, there is enough left for those things.
