Celebrity-loved grocery store Erewhon HORRIFIES shoppers with sky-high price for a very basic pantry staple
Celebrity-loved supermarket Erewhon has stunned shoppers with yet another outrageously priced stock item.
The famously expensive supermarket, which has ten stores in Los Angeles, sells typical pantry items and fresh organic fruits and vegetables.
Justin Bieber, Brooklyn Beckham and the Kardashians are just some of the A-listers spotted in the luxury market.
While the chain may be loved by the stars, it has been ridiculed on numerous occasions over the years for putting high price tags on everyday staples.
And the latest food favorite to terrify shoppers is no different. The store is now offering 32-ounce soups for as much as $25 each — only you have to buy two at a time, forcing shoppers to spend as much as $50 for two pots.

The brand also offers organic beef and chicken bone broth.
The website requires customers to choose two pots of soup for a total of $50; it’s unclear whether you have to buy two at the store.
The items are so expensive that Erewhon is giving online shoppers the choice of making four interest-free payments of $12.50 with Shop Pay.
According to Erewhon, the 32-ounce jars have a shelf life of 30 days.
Foodies have flocked to social media to comment on the high prices.
One outraged person wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Aia mentioned Erewhon, and I didn’t know what that was, so I Googled it. WHY IS THEIR SOUP $50?’
A second hurt: ‘Seriously? Do you buy your vegetables and poultry from Evewhon?

Foodies have flocked to social media to comment on the high prices. One person wrote: ‘WHY IS THEIR SOUP $50?’
“For fifty dollars I could go to Kroger and make enough chicken soup to feed an entire football team.”
“I’ve been taking out some high interest loans lately to get soup from Erewhon,” someone else joked.
“Imagine going to Erewhon and getting two pots of soup, and the cashier says, ‘Okay, your total will be $97,’” another user added.
“Erewhon is great if you want to spend $400 for two cans of soup and a banana,” said a fifth tweet.
A sixth said: ‘I went to Erewhon for some soup and ended up spending $95.’
One person defended the brand, writing: ‘Listen to me, I’m tired of being judged for liking Erewhon.
‘Tell me WHERE else can you get such a delicious soup? So SAVORY? NOT WHOLE FOOD. I pay TOP DOLLAR for GOOD SOUP.’
But the soup is not the only expensive thing available in the store. Other shockingly expensive items include a $19 bottle of “raw milk.”
For $25.99, shoppers can also get their hands on a bottle of “hyperoxygenated water.”
Erewhon was also recently mocked for selling $29.99 cartons of ice cream. The ‘Cocktail Ice Ballz’ are round ice cubes that claim to keep your drink cool for longer
