Grocery shopping has become a costly affair for Australians, with prices skyrocketing across the board.

From everyday essentials to specialty items, the cost of filling up your shopping cart can quickly add up.

It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet, and one mum has had enough.

One shopper, who goes by the username @rhondasane, took to TikTok to share her recent experience at Woolworths, where she went in for just a few items and was shocked by the prices she saw.

In her basket were 10 items, including staples like bread and instant noodles and treats like dumplings and energy drinks. She even managed to snag a special deal on dishwashing tablets. Or so she thought.

But the total bill left her reeling when she got to the checkout.

​

'How much do you reckon that cost me?' she asked before revealing the receipt total was $90.

Her post garnered a lot of attention from shoppers, with opinions split on the validity of her claim.

Many shoppers could relate to the rising costs of everyday items, and felt sympathetic to her situation.

On the other hand, some expressed scepticism about the total cost of her grocery items.
However, the mum quickly addressed the doubts by sharing a follow-up video where she showed her receipt and labelled the pricing as a 'daylight robbery'.

According to the receipt, the most expensive item was the pack of dishwashing tablets, which she alleges were advertised as ‘on sale’ in the store.

'Who buys fairy tablets full-price? Nobody. Ridiculous,' she said before sharing that she had initially believed she was purchasing the item for $10.

After becoming suspicious that the scanned price of $36 was wrong, she later checked the price of the product online and was disappointed to learn that it was indeed retailing for $18.
The shopper continued: ‘So they didn't scan as a special.’

'It doesn’t matter that they weren’t $10, but they were still only $8 more and I still paid nearly $40 for f***ing dishwashing tablets.’

Since the follow-up video was uploaded, a number of other viewers have suggested alternatives, such as Woolworths’ own brand or searching other store brands at other outlets such as ALDI or the Reject Shop.

In response to the woman's claim that the dishwashing pods had been scanned at the wrong price, a representative from Woolworths advised customers to seek assistance from a staff member if they notice any pricing discrepancies.

The spokesperson said: 'If there's an issue of something scanning incorrectly, then our advice to customers is always let the team know so it can be rectified.’

'Also, our 100-tablet box of Strike dishwashing tablets at $12.80 is excellent value, working out to be less than 13 cents a tablet.'

Key Takeaways

• A shopper went to Woolworths for only a few items but was shocked by the bill that came to just shy of $90.
• The most expensive item was a pack of dishwashing tablets that were advertised as on sale in the store, but the shopper later discovered the actual price of the item online.
• The shopper accused Woolworths of ‘daylight robbery' for the excessive prices on essential groceries.
• Woolworths advised customers to seek assistance from a staff member if they notice any pricing discrepancies and suggested its own brand of dishwashing tablets at $12.80, which works out to be less than 13 cents per tablet.

Members, this story does raise an important point about the need to shop around for the best deals and compare prices, especially when it comes to those extra items like dishwashing tablets that may cost more than you think.

Alternatively, you might consider switching to a less expensive brand if your go-to brand’s price exceeds your budget.

Be sure to dedicate some time to research and read reviews to make sure that the alternative you’re purchasing is worth the money.

My dear oid mother told me to always check your dockets before you leave the store for wrong prices which I do. It's amazing how many times I've discovered mistakes almost every week

 

[Doreen Kerwin]

I don't always trust specials. I've been to Woolworth and seen one of my frequently bought items on special, therefore I knew it's normal price. I found the "special price" was dearer than the normal. I can sympathise with this lady. What I bought for $50 only 12 months or so ago, now costs me to $90.

 

[pascoevale]

Always be aware and check your receipt for. Errors if in drought go back to shelf and check if it’s wrong you are entitled to a full refund and keep the product take photo of correct price for proof and check there is mistakes

 

[Aussie all the Way]

Easy fix take the docket back and get the refund. And ALWAYS check your docket before you leave the store. You used to get the full price back if you found a mistake BUT not now they keep every cent they can squeeze out of you.

Re refund don’t take it they will try it it is policy employees most don’t know yes they will try anything to avoid it ask for the store manager be aware of company policy

 

[JKD]

I always do a mental tally of my shopping so I have a rough idea of what the total should be. Also try to keep special priced items together at the checkout and watch to ensure they are scanned correctly. Last of all I check the docket before leaving the store. OK, it takes a few moments but quicker than returning for a refund of even writing here to complain about an error.

CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, on the shelf and when it is scanned. If anything comes up wrong according to the shelf price let the check-out operator know. They are then bound to either delete the item, have a ‘price-check’ done with management and you can even have it deleted from your bill. Buy something else. Onus is up to you and management needs to know their prices are a rip-off also.

Totally agree with that girl, and I was reading an article about Dilmah taking Coles and Woolworths to task over pricing so much so that Dilmah are looking at removing their products from the shelves. About time someone stood up to these Supermarkets.

 

[GeminiGirl]

I think this shopper needs to take a reality check if she needs to economise.
Aldi Dishwashing tablets, 30 in a box, $7.99...my dishes come out sparkling clean every time.
$26 (for dumplings) will buy you far healthier fresh products, whole fresh chicken, 500 gms mince, sausages or chicken wings.
Perhaps a visit with a professional budget planner is needed here.

Yes but she was led to believe the dishwasher pills were only 10 dollars; I have come across this trick by the supermarkets regularly. I bought 10 or 11 products the other day and believe me I do not throw money around and it cost me 98 dollars. I was disgusted! and there was nothing flash in the shop!

The 1/2 price specials at Woolworths and Coles aren't always right they are supposed to start on a Wednesday I've got the wife to call in to get items on her way home in the afternoon on Wednesday to get the specials only to find that they haven't been marked down usually I find them marked a day or two later it passes me off that these supermarkets stuff it up regularly arseholes

 

[Toyo]

If she thought the dishwasher tablets were $10 but they were $18 x 2 , how about heading to the service desk and returning them, I'm sorry no sympathy here the dumplings weren't cheap either. If the advertised price of DW tablets was $10 and you're charged $18 they will refund and give you the item for free so what is the actual problem here.

Grocery shopping has become a costly affair for Australians, with prices skyrocketing across the board.

From everyday essentials to specialty items, the cost of filling up your shopping cart can quickly add up.

It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet, and one mum has had enough.

One shopper, who goes by the username @rhondasane, took to TikTok to share her recent experience at Woolworths, where she went in for just a few items and was shocked by the prices she saw.

In her basket were 10 items, including staples like bread and instant noodles and treats like dumplings and energy drinks. She even managed to snag a special deal on dishwashing tablets. Or so she thought.

But the total bill left her reeling when she got to the checkout.

​

'How much do you reckon that cost me?' she asked before revealing the receipt total was $90.

Her post garnered a lot of attention from shoppers, with opinions split on the validity of her claim.

Many shoppers could relate to the rising costs of everyday items, and felt sympathetic to her situation.

On the other hand, some expressed scepticism about the total cost of her grocery items.
However, the mum quickly addressed the doubts by sharing a follow-up video where she showed her receipt and labelled the pricing as a 'daylight robbery'.

According to the receipt, the most expensive item was the pack of dishwashing tablets, which she alleges were advertised as ‘on sale’ in the store.

'Who buys fairy tablets full-price? Nobody. Ridiculous,' she said before sharing that she had initially believed she was purchasing the item for $10.

After becoming suspicious that the scanned price of $36 was wrong, she later checked the price of the product online and was disappointed to learn that it was indeed retailing for $18.
The shopper continued: ‘So they didn't scan as a special.’

'It doesn’t matter that they weren’t $10, but they were still only $8 more and I still paid nearly $40 for f***ing dishwashing tablets.’

Being overcharged for items at the supermarkets, big variety stores and even multi store clothing chains happens all the time. Most people just deal with it directly with the store concerned and don’t post it all over social media seeking their “two minutes of fame”, if everyone did that social media would be totally clogged up with totally unnecessary ? “Wanna be ers “
