I spent £3.30 on an Aldi ‘Grocery Surprise Bag’ but they did me dirty by giving me 36 of the same item
A LUCKY shopper has revealed how he ended up with a massive crate of 36 of the same item after getting his hands on a Grocery Surprise Bag.
Aldi super fan Blair took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share his incredible find, which cost the bloke a mere £3.30.
According to the foodie, from Kirkcaldy, Scotland, he had ordered a special goodie bag from the discount supermarket Aldi – but little did he know what he’d end up in his kitchen.
As well as receiving a scrumptious bowl of ready-made Korean Style BBQ Beef – perfect for a quick lunch or dinner – Blair got a huge box of different cheeses.
In total, the gobsmacked customer shared in the hilarious post, Aldi had left him with a monster pile of 36 blocks of cheese.
These appeared to be from their special festive range, as the delicious selection of cheese was in different Christmas-themed shapes, including a Christmas tree and adorable stars.
”So here is the Too Good To Go haul… We’ve got a nice Korean Style BBQ Beef.
”What else did we get? Oh, we got 36 blocks of cheese,” Blair said, as his pal was in the background left in hysterics.
Lost for words, the foodie wrote in the caption: ”Got a £3.30 too good to go bag from Aldi.
”I could not have expected this.”
But what will Blair do with all the dairy goodness? Well, after taking the platform by storm, the bloke revealed he might sell it on Gumtree – or give it away to his local food bank, as recommended by some X users.
”Won’t be throwing any for sure, especially as it just gets better with age,” he chuckled.
Advising fellow money-smart foodies to not sleep on the incredible deal, Blair also explained how he got his hands on it.
”It’s an app – you basically buy food form places like supermarkets or Greggs at the end of the day for like a tenth of the price – but it’s always a surprise what you get.”
Needless to say, the hilarious blunder has gone viral on social media, with over 30k people giving the post a like and hundreds racing to comments.
”Wow, that’s better than the eight sausage rolls and eight doughnuts I got from Greggs for £2.59,” one said.
”That is like winning the lottery,” another reckoned.
”Man, I wouldn’t be disappointed, this is the jackpot.”
”I would be in absolute Heaven,” a cheese lover chimed in.
”Cheese despite a use by date will last months and months, so you’re quids in, my friend,” a social media user added.
