A SINGLE mum and nurse was left floored after doing a weekly food shop in Iceland that cost her £96.
Nicki Evans, from Wales, shared a video of her grocery haul on her TikTok account @nikkijonesevans.
She captioned the post: "What in the cost of living crises?!"
Showing off the food shop she purchased from Iceland, she said: "I think we are being robbed blind.
"So here in front of me, you have £100 worth of food.
"£100 worth of food which really isn't a week's shopping for me."

Nicki added that she often spends around £100 on a weekly shop for herself and her 11-year-old son, and was floored by how much the shop cost her as it wouldn't even do a full week of meals.
She added: "I'm a single parent, you know we like to go out and have nice meals, we like to enjoy our life.
"I don't wanna be governed to spending £300 a month or £300 a week on food that's lacking in quality, got s**t expiry dates, not filling, not nutritious."
The mum of one who is also a nurse purchased crisps, grapes, a pineapple, apples, bananas, yoghurts, tea, coffee, milk, rice, cheese, bread, and jelly.

Nicki also bagged some coke, ice creams, broccoli, minced meat, chicken, lunchables, ham, a pizza, mayonnaise, pop tarts, noodles and biscuits.
But the mum was stunned that it cost her nearly £100 – and revealed it wouldn't even do a full week of meals.
She added: "So this is £100 in Iceland that's gonna technically make, I don't know, three meals and a couple of snacks."
The video has since gone viral with over 100k views and over 2,000 likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments section of the video.
One person wrote: "When I first moved out 10 years ago I swore by Iceland.. now, I rarely go as it’s so expensive!!"
Another commented: "Iceland has gone very expensive."
"I shop at multiple places. Iceland for frozen only, Aldi for snacks and veg. Butchers for meat. Asda for cupboard as well as farm foods. Shop around," penned a third.
"I’m definitely going to do that. I won’t be caught again," replied Nicki.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: "That's robbery."
