Coles shopper left in shock after getting $800 worth of groceries

A supermarket shopper has shared her shock after accidentally picking up $800 of groceries.

The mum, who goes by Nik, shared a video explaining how she inadvertently placed two Click and Collect orders to her local Coles, leaving her with an ‘insane’ amount of food.

‘Ever wondered what $800 worth of groceries looks like? Because we’ve accidentally discovered that,’ she said in the video.

‘Yep, this dumb f*** accidentally ordered twice. So the first order didn’t go through, it didn’t work or whatever. So I ordered it again.

‘Apparently the first order did go through, it just didn’t tell me it went through. So now we have a f*** tonne of cereal, a f*** tonne of nappies, a f*** tonne of rice, fizzy water and food.

‘$800 worth of shopping.. I mean, we’ve even got two things of cat food back here. It’s f***ing mental. Like, what the hell?’

In the TikTok clip, she explained that she ended up with a huge amount of fresh foods including ’10 heads of broccoli, eight loaves of bread, 2kg of butter, 2kg of cheese, nine litres of milk, 4kg of carrots, two whole butternut pumpkins’.

In here freezer, she had ‘more frozen peas, corn and green beans’ that she could poke a stick at, as well as ’10kg of rice’ in her pantry. 

The Australian mum added that the issue was her error rather that Coles.

‘This isn’t a Coles issue. This is totally a me issue,’ she said.

‘I mean the app did break down when I went to the checkout. So I was checking out, and it said something has gone wrong and it was apparently to do with my internet

‘I tried going back, I tried figuring out what had gone wrong, I tried reprocessing it and when I went back, it said my trolley was empty. I went into my emails and there wasn’t a confirmation email.

‘I just assumed it had not worked. I hadn’t had anything come up on the app saying it had processed.

‘So me, being me, just thought OK, I’ll just go and do it all again. So then we did the whole order again, but then my eldest child came down and was like ‘Mum, can we add this, this, this and this.’

‘The second order was slightly different, because we added on the Fruit Loops, we added on the Rice Bubbles. Hence why there were only one box of those because they weren’t double ordered.’

In the TikTok clip, she explained that she ended up with a huge amount of fresh foods including ’10 heads of broccoli, eight loaves of bread, 2kg of butter, 2kg of cheese, nine litres of milk, 4kg of carrots, two whole butternut pumpkins’

‘So I’m wondering if maybe the staff at Coles – because it was a ClickNCollect – if they just thought ‘Oh she’s just ordering for two different families’ because they’re marginally different. I don’t know.

‘But I don’t think this is a Coles issue. I paid for it.’

 She added that she was lucky to be ‘financially stable’ and able to cop the extra cost.

‘If this was a couple of years ago, I would have definitely been trying to take some back because financially we wouldn’t have been able to be ok,’ she said.

‘But thankfully we’re in a bit more of a financially stable situation. It’s still a saga and it’s still insane,’ she went on.

Some questioned why Coles didn’t flag that two similar orders went through, while others were shocked at the amount of food for $800.

‘Not a lot there for $800,’ one person wrote.

It’s sad because I expected so much more stuff for $800,’ said another.

Another said they would expect the ‘whole kitchen to be covered in bags’ for that amount of money.

While another joked Nik was ‘all set for another pandemic’.
