Remember in “Home Alone” when Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, goes grocery shopping by himself? He ends up owing $19.83 . . . after presenting a dollar-off coupon for orange juice. That was in 1990.
Well, someone on TikTok calculated how much Kevin would need if he went shopping in 2023. Not surprisingly, it’s quite a bit more than 20 bucks.
Here’s Kevin’s shopping list, with the prices he’d pay in 2023:
1. Frozen TV dinner: $5.00
2. Loaf of Wonder Bread: $3.00
3. Frozen mac and cheese: $3.50
4. Saran wrap: $4.50
5. Half gallon of milk: $4.60
6. Tide laundry detergent: $13.00
7. Toilet paper: $8.00
8. Half gallon of orange juice: $4.50
9. Pack of plastic army men: $9.00
10. Dryer sheets: $8.79
This brings Kevin’s 2023 total to . . . $63.73. Then factor in TAX, he’s looking at around $68 . . . after the $1.00 off coupon, of course.
