Food prices have risen significantly over the years, we get that.

But £930 for a single banana is a little steep… right?

Well that’s the price one shopper from Sherwood in Nottingham was accidentally charged this week due to a mix up with her Asda online order.

Bobbie Gordon said she was shocked when she received the receipt stating she had been charged £930.11 for the piece of fruit (which was originally 11p).

Luckily, her credit card company’s fraud team stopped the payment, which racked up to more than £1,000 with the other basket items.

Speaking to the BBC, she said Asda has since apologised, stating that the incident was a result of a computer error.

She said: ‘I told my seven-year-old “you must really enjoy this banana, you must cherish every mouthful”.

‘We thought it was just a silly mistake and they couldn’t possibly be charging us for it.

‘But then we got a text from my credit card company saying they detected fraud and that they had tried to charge me for it.’

A spokesman for Asda said: ‘Whilst our bananas are excellent, even we agree that they are not worth that much and clearly there has been a glitch in our system.

‘We would like to thank Ms Gordon for keeping her eyes peeled and flagging this error to us and we are investigating to ensure it doesn’t happen again.’
