Shoppers have been comparing prices of melons as the cost of living crisis hits the weekly supermarket shop. One customer got caught out as Lidl, thinking that the watermelon she was buying cost £1.19.
It was only when she and her partner checked the receipt afterwards did they realised that had been the price per kilogram, so with the weight of theirs - 3.5kg - it came to a whopping £4.20, reports the MEN.
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!!!"
