Aldi shopper 'absolutely fuming' after spotting very awkward typo at supermarket

An Aldi shopper has gone viral after pointing out a very awkward typo in his local supermarket.

Taking to social media, the Twitter user shared a picture of a sign he's spotted in store showing a price reduction on a popular item.

The sign showed the cost of a pack of Mini Sponge Tarts, which had been reduced from £7147.03 down to 79p. Talk about a bargain.

The shopper said he was 'fuming ' at the mix up.

He wrote: "Absolutely fuming at the sale in Aldi. That’s a huge discount, I spent £7000 on those last week."

The tweet has since gone viral, with many people in hysterics over the apparent mix-up.

Responding to the tweet, one shopper said: "That's a hell of a saving. Just off out to get some mini sponge tarts."

"That's what happens with prices when you try to use Bitcoin as currency," joked somebody else.

A third person said: "Hope you kept your £7147.03 receipt: you could buy the reduced tarts and get them refunded at the higher price."

"Absolute bargain," joked a fourth.

Aldi has also had its say on the reduction debacle, reports the MEN.

The supermarket said: "We can confirm we are no longer accepting dogecoin."
