Shopper feels 'robbed' by eye-watering cost of Lidl's watermelon

A shopper says they feel 'robbed' by the price of watermelon in Lidl. The woman was shopping in the budget store when her partner picked up the fruit thinking it was £1.19.

But it was only when they later checked the receipt they realised that had been the price per kilogram, so with the weight of theirs - 3.5kg - it came to a whopping £4.20. Sharing her dismay in a money-saving Facebook page, the shopper said: "I feel like I’ve been robbed - £4.20 for a watermelon in Lidl today.

"My partner thought it was £1.19 (obviously didn’t look at the actual price by weight). He could eat a watermelon in a day…. It’s staying as a decoration for that price!!!"
