A young Australian woman is furious about the cost of living after visiting her local supermarket and grocer for fresh food.
Elly Vickere was left furious after eating Coles and spending $45 on two boxes of tea bags, two loaves of bread, a box of chicken Kiev’s and two liters of lactose-free milk.
The young TikTokker also went to the greengrocer and bought a huge pile of fresh vegetables, which earned her 26 dollars.
‘Half the money I spent on those few (supermarket) items. They may not be the prettiest or most symmetrical, but it’s in your gut anyway.’
Elly always thought that if she went to the farmer’s market or the greengrocer, she would lose even more money.
“It’s insanely cheap,” she said.
And the people in the comments totally agreed.
“Personally, as a Coles employee, definitely go to the farmers’ markets because I’m really standing there looking at the whole thing like that’s ridiculous,” one said.
“I work at Coles and quite frankly I’m so embarrassed to work there as they keep raising the prices of things,” said another.
One woman said her weekly shop at Coles went from $90 to $170 a week.

Some pointed to Elly’s expensive taste.
“That tea is pricey,” said one woman.
Elly admitted that she is a “slave” to the prizes because the tea helps her fall asleep.
Others said the food from the markets has a longer shelf life.
Cole’s fruits and vegetables rot after three days; the market thing goes on all week,” one woman wrote.
Some were thrilled by her fresh catch of food.
“Bro, a watermelon would have cost $20 at Spudshed alone,” someone said.
The video quickly went viral and more than 45,000 people responded to the conversation.
