‘That’s shocking’ mum-of-five slammed for huge £1k Asda food shop that towers over her TV and covers entire lounge floor
A MUM has left people stunned with her huge food shop she says only lasts one month.
Despite the food shop covering her entire lounge, the mum, from Scotland, revealed it would only last a month or so.
In the clip, Laura filmed the extent of her Asda food shop which had piles of cereal towering over her TV and meat covering her entire sofa.
Another glimpse of the scene saw crisps and pasta take over yet another couch while the floor was covered in huge bottles of fizzy drink and vegetables.
She even bagged a tower of margarine and hundreds of eggs to keep her family well fed.
The mum-of-five revealed the food would stretch for around a month with some fresh food top ups throughout.
Viewers of the video were left flabbergasted by the scene but they were also stunned by how she paid for her loot.
In the captions of the post she revealed she had used the finance brand Klarna to pay for her haul which was around £10,50.
Instead of paying for the hefty haul upfront she put it on Klarna to pay back £350 per month for the next three months.
People were left baffled by just how much food the mum got and wondered where she would fit it.
Laura revealed that she had two fridges and two chest freezers to store her food and make sure it kept well.
The clip has since gone viral over on her TikTok account @the.scottish.york with over 1 million views and 31k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “Having to Klarna your food shop is shocking.”
Another commented: “Genuine question, if you’re paying £350pm on Klarna then why not just do a monthly shop and not be in debt? Unless I’ve read your comments incorrectly..?”
“This shop is my monthly shop. It used to cost £350. Its went up to over £1050 in the last couple of years for the same things! I would love to go to the shop and buy but can’t,” replied the mum.
What is Klarna and is it safe?
Klarna is an app you can use to make purchases without payment at online retailers – you then pay for the goods later.
Its products are also offered at the checkout of hundreds of thousands of online retailers too.
Previously customers could only choose to pay through Klarna with certain retailers it had partnered with.
But now, the service is available at all online retailers – regardless of whether it has partnered with the store.
Customers can use its shopping app to spread the cost of a purchase across roughly two months as payments complete after 60 days.
Your item will ship to you straight away and an email will be sent to you indicating when the payment is due.
You’ll have 30 days (depending on the store) to decide whether you want to keep the item before being required to pay.
Customers can repay before their due date and can automate payments so they are automatically paid on their due date.
Klarna also offers a “Pay Now” service in which customers can pay immediately and in full.
The advantage of the service is that you can buy things online and decide whether you want to keep them or not before you actually for them.
There is also the option to spread payments over several months, or even years, known as financing.
But because these payments come with interest charges, they are regulated.
Unlike some credit cards, Klarna doesn’t charge interest or fees on the period between purchasing your goods and paying but can fine you with a late charge for missed payments.
The company has also said that accounts are passed to debt collection agencies if unpaid after several months.
“I bet that took so long to put away,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “We are a family of 6 and we don’t get through this much in a month.”
“Was there anything left in the shop?” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Where do you put it all.”
