Home Alone fans left speechless after finding out how much Kevin’s grocery shop would cost today

Home Alone 2: Skint In New York

You've already watched Jingle All The Way, Ross Kemp's Christmas Carol, and Scrooged, but you're anxiously awaiting a date a little sooner to the 25th to stick on the John Hughes' classic.

It's now been 33 years since the first of the series dropped, showing Macaulay Culkin running riot in his home as he stops the Sticky Bandits from stealing his families prized possessions.

But while the many brutal traps Harry and Marv fall victim to are certainly the movies most memorable moments, many are now looking to Kevin McCallister's shopping trip.

In the legendary scene, Kevin can be seen throwing milk, toilet roll, Tropicana, and bagels into his shopping cart, along with some toy soldiers and magazines. After handing over a coupon to the shocked but smiley cashier, Kevin is told that the total comes to $19.83 (£15.74).

Adjusted for inflation, this price comes to $46.68 (£37.05) in 2023.

But, that's not all as TikTok user Geoffrey Lyons has took things one step further, by going out into the supermarket and purchasing all of Kevin's items himself.

Posting to TikTok, Geoffrey says: "What does that come down to? The grand total of $63.73. Add on tax - $5.25 - and put it together, you get $68.99 (£54.76)."

Understandably, people were left absolutely broken by the cost, with one person writing: "I bet the cashiers wage is still the same in 2023," while another said: "Plus it wouldn't be a $1 off coupon now, it would be 50¢ off."

A third commented: "The $100 bill is the new $20 bill."
