American ‘obsessed’ after visit to Sainsbury's - but shoppers claim that Aldi and Lidl are better

An American new to the UK found their visit to a local Sainsbury's a real eye-opener. MyLondon reports that the woman with the user name carla.rayy shared on social media her experience of a trip to the supermarket and her shock at the deals.

Posting on TikTok, Carla shared her thoughts on UK supermarkets: "I just moved to the UK from America and I'm obsessed with the grocery stores here. For £2.50 you get noodles, veggies, and a sauce. £3.50 chicken, £4.25 for a steak."

Carla zoomed in on a Sainsbury's trolley full of goodies like pasta and wine. She even included some British classics like digestive biscuits and Branston pickle. Carla said: "This is my full shopping for a week and I only spent £50. And this is for two people, mind-blown."
