The wife of Sydney Roosters prop Lindsay Collins, Kaylah Collins, has sparked a heated debate online after sharing her weekly grocery haul on TikTok. The shocking total?
A whopping $700 per week for her family of three.
What’s Behind the Hefty Price Tag?
Kaylah took to TikTok to give her followers a glimpse into her weekly shop, which includes a plethora of organic and wholefood items from Harris Farm and a local butcher.
The family’s grocery list is a health enthusiast’s dream, featuring avocados, sweet potatoes, eggs, and grass-fed meat. But with a price tag of $307.39 from Harris Farm alone, it’s no wonder many are left stunned.
A Glimpse Into the Collins’ Grocery Shop
The family’s weekly shop includes:
Organic produce like sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and avocados
Grass-fed, organic meat from The Meat Store in Bondi Junction (costing around $250 per week)
Iggy’s sourdough bread, tinned salmon, and organic yoghurt
A whopping $700 per week total, which works out to around $2,800 per month
How Does This Compare to the Average Aussie Household?
According to a July 2024 survey from Canstar Blue, the average Australian household spends around $168 per week on groceries, which equates to $728 per month.
The Collins’ monthly spend is a staggering four times higher than this average.
The Great Grocery Debate
Kaylah’s Instagram post has sparked a fierce debate online, with many commenting on the excessive cost of her groceries.
Some have expressed envy, wishing they could afford to eat organic and wholefood, while others have shared their own grocery budgets, which are significantly lower.
Kaylah has responded to some of the comments, saying that the family does sacrifice a lot to be able to eat this way and that they feel lucky to be in a position to afford it.
Lindsay Collins’ Salary Revealed
As the husband of Kaylah Collins, Lindsay is reportedly earning $675,000 per year as a prop for the Sydney Roosters.
This significant income no doubt contributes to the family’s ability to afford their expensive grocery habits.
