Woolworths shopper caught using bizarre supermarket trick when weighing bananas at checkout
- The man peels his bananas before paying for them
- His embarrassed girlfriend shared his hack online
- Millions of Australians play the self-service system
A woman shared her boyfriend’s weird money-saving trick he uses when buying bananas at Woolworths.
Her boyfriend was caught using a strange trick while shopping at one of the places in Australia.
His shocked and embarrassed girlfriend shared footage of the hack in a TikTok video.
“How my frugal boyfriend saves money on his bananas,” the caption read.
A frugal shopper’s girlfriend has revealed her partner’s weird money-saving trick at Woolies that saves her more than 10 per cent at checkout.
On a TikTok, the man can be seen peeling his banana before discarding the peel and weighing it in the box.
In the video, the woman’s boyfriend is seen removing a banana from the produce section before removing the skin and placing the fruit in a plastic bag.
The couple then walks over to the self-service checkouts where the boyfriend places the banana on the scale.
Social media users criticized the boyfriend saying it was a big red flag.
“That’s not frugal, that’s a stingy,” wrote one.
“Frugal people really weigh them without a bag,” added a second.
“Break up with him and call the police,” wrote a third.
“I’d be less ashamed if I stole it,” wrote another.
A New Mexico State University study found that the banana peel makes up about 12.5 percent of the fruit’s total weight.
A national Finder survey conducted last year found that at least 10 percent of shoppers admitted to scanning the wrong items at checkout to save money.
In a 2022 survey, millions of shoppers admitted to automatically scanning items like avocados and passing them off as cheaper vegetables like onions.
One in five Australians admitted to simply stealing items.
Coles and Woolworths have introduced surveillance cameras and high-tech scanning systems to reduce the number of items being incorrectly scanned.
Coles loses an estimated $891 million a year on theft and Woolworths loses up to $1 billion a year, the Global Retail Theft Barometer reported.
