A California family's massive Trader Joe's receipt recently went viral on social media, sparking a debate about which grocery stores are affordable for families. In a video that's been viewed over 17 million times on X, a father-of-six's camera panned across a massive Trader Joe's receipt from a location in Westlake Village, an affluent city in Los Angeles County.

The receipt also included a large amount of frozen food items, such as Trader Joe's chicken and cheese tamales , chicken soup dumplings and a margherita pizza . The most expensive items on the receipt were the frozen Korean-style beef short ribs, which clocked in at $13.99 each. Other pricier products included breaded chicken tenderloins at $8.99 and a rib-eye steak for $7.27.

Would cost 1/3 that at Aldi," one person said. "Aldi’s got you for like $125," another chimed in. Other X users asserted that Trader Joe's prepared food products are not designed to feed large families at a low price. Shopping at trader joes instead of costco with 6 kids is insane," one tweet, which accrued 22,000 likes, read. "Trader Joe’s isn’t meant for a large family," another user wrote. Some social media users encouraged the family to buy simpler food products to reduce the cost of their grocery bills. For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxbusiness.com/lifestyle.
