How to save on groceries: British expat asks how Australians save money at ... trends now

A stunned British expat asked Aussie shoppers for saving tips after revealing his very basic grocery haul cost more than $60.

Financial adviser Ryan King, 25, recently moved from London to Melbourne and has been left shocked by the price of Australian groceries.

For a whopping $61.90 bought some apples, garlic, mushrooms, bananas, chicken, a capsicum, stock, onions, honey, flour, soy sauce, and bread from Woolworths. 

'I want to show you what I got and how much it all cost. If any Australians are watching and have any hacks on how to get better or cheaper food, please let me know,' he said in the TikTok.

'It's quite expensive.'

Mr King then walked through the prices that stood out to him the most.

'One pepper (capsicum) for $3.29... Two onions for $2.19, four bananas $3.25, this 1.4kg of chicken was $14.67,' he said.

'I've not bought a huge amount of stuff, I would normally get more meat and maybe rice, pasta, potatoes, dips and sauces.

'So this might be, like, 60 per cent of a food shop.' 

He added he wasn't happy with the cost and asked for Aussies shoppers to leave their advice on how he could save money.

'If anyone in Australia can please give me tips on how to shop better because I feel like this isn't a very good shop,' he said. 

Australian commenters were quick to respond by sharing the lessons they'd learnt while grocery shopping.

'Aldi is elite, you’ll save heaps and I personally like the meat produce there better,' one person wrote with several others adding Aldi has affordable options.

'Shop between different shops. Fruit and veg from the grocer instead of Woolies or go to the markets,' another said.

'Get your soy sauce from Asian supermarkets and get the home brand flour,'
