Why this photo of groceries left a Coles shopper furious: 'It's an absolute joke'

Shoppers called the price of groceries a 'joke'
Social media users outraged over cost of 'essentials'

A Coles shopper has shown just how little you get when spending close to $100 at the supermarket due to untamed inflation.

The customer shared a photo on X showing just 14 items purchased from their local supermarket on Sunday, with another photo of the receipt showing that cost $97.28.

'It's not easy under Albanese's cost of living crisis,' the caption read.

'Today I bought some basics: salt, rinse aid, dishwasher detergent, toilet cleaner, milk, carrots, raspberries, chicken, rump steak, stewing beef, lamb shanks, pork, and three potatoes. What do you think it cost?'

'Food is up about 25 per cent Albanese came to power, electricity is about 30 per cent, gas is incalculable, insurance is up,' they wrote.

'Albanese's inflation is eating you alive.

Are your wages keeping up?'

Many social media users shared their fury about the sky-high prices, while others suggested not shopping at Coles but using a cheaper alternative.

The rump was $15.00 for 500 gram so that's $30 per kilo. That's quite cheap for Coles prices. Can you really buy rump steak for $15 per kilo?

I'm pretty sure a lot of butchers have it at around that price. I think the price has gone down again recently. Maybe because it is drying out after a wet summer.

Wow - remember when eye fillet was $69.70 per kilo last August at Coles?

Get this and cut few stakes and what left use for quick fry or beef stroganoff or mince.

I buy very little food from coles, just a few bits and pieces.
