Mum puts free school meals to shame with epic Aldi food haul costing £10
ALDI is one of those stores that we go into expecting only to buy a single item… and the next thing we know, we’ve walked out with half of the shop.
Well it turns out, we’re not alone – as one mum has shown off her enormous £10 haul after she only went in for milk.
Posting on the Facebook group Feeding Your Family on a Budget, Chantelle Monger proudly showed off her huge food shop which will feed the kids for days.
The large haul contrasts starkly with the recent free school meals packages – said to be worth £30 for two weeks – which have come under fire for containing just a small amount of fruit and veg along with some beans, bread, pasta and cheese.
At first, the mum thought she’d go to a local store for milk and use the leftover cash on some treats for the family.
She wrote: “We needed milk and I had a tenner and some change..was going to pop to the local shop which would have meant I got milk and a few odd treats for the money.
“I decided to nip to Aldi instead and just look what £10.16 gets you!”
For just over £10, Chantelle bought four frozen pizzas, two packs of instant noodles, a loaf of bread, some chocolate biscuits, white chocolate, apples, butter and four pints of whole milk.
The post has racked up over 2,000 “likes” in the group – and members were amazed by how far her tenner went.
One replied: “Worth the trip for sure!”
Another added: “Those pizzas are lovely!”
A third gushed: “Well done you!”
