Kevin's "Home Alone" Grocery Trip Would Cost More Than Three Times Now

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.

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 a 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.

 

 

An online user pointed out that he'd also need money to pay for bags since he lives in Chicago. And another said, quote, "$19.83 in 1990 would be equal to about $46.68 today. So it's not just inflation. Things are way too expensive now."
