Shocking moment Woolworths shopper spends $1,093 on CHOCOLATE – but there’s a very simple explanation for his incredible haul
- Sydney business owner purchased massive amount of Kinder Buenos chocolate
- Supply shortages left him with no choice but to ‘raid’ his local Woolies and Coles
- Wholesalers also not available, man runs Calvin’s Crepes shop in Sydney’s west
A Woolworths shopper has shocked scores of people on social media after revealing he spent almost $1100 on a particular brand of chocolate in one supermarket visit.
Taking to TikTok, the Sydney business owner revealed he doesn’t have a sweet tooth like no other – instead he was left with no alternative but to stock up on ‘business essentials’ due to supply issues stemming from the pandemic.
‘No stock because of Covid at the moment,’ the food truck worker from Calvin’s Crepes explained when quizzed about his staggering purchase.
When it was suggested he try wholesalers, the man responded it wasn’t possible ‘in this Covid age.’
He also revealed he purchased large amounts of Kinder Buenos from a nearby Coles supermarket in Sydney’s south at Hurstville.

Calvin’s Crepes have become increasingly popular in the Harbour City due to their range of waffles, crepes and milkshakes.
Among the ingredients commonly used are Nutella, Mars Bars, Toblerone and Kinder Buenos.
Countless TikTok users were stunned by the enormous chocolate haul, with the clip viewed almost 340,000 times since Thursday.
‘No way you spent a grand,’ said one, with another joking ‘that’s where they (all) went.’
Others queried how the man was permitted to purchase the items in bulk amounts at the supermarket.
‘Is that even allowed?’ asked one TikTok user.
A Woolworths spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail Australia there are currently no buying limits in place for chocolate loving customers.
‘We do monitor stock levels closely to determine if additional limits are required,’ he said.
‘Woolworths does have in place limits on certain items at the moment, notably toilet paper, rapid antigen tests and painkillers.’
