Local Betoota woman, Tahlia Nowak woke up this morning with a seriously strong urge to buy some random shit she would use twice and then forget about. 

With the hayfever months in full swing, Tahlia decided to visit budget chemist, Chemist Warehouse to buy one packet of anti-hystamines. 

However, Tahlia left the store $100 poorer than when she walked in. 

“I was robbed in broad daylight. There I was in the hayfever aisle, grabbing my 24 pack of Claratyne and then somehow I walked out with a lip gloss, a new shampoo, a fake tanning mist and a foot mask” Tahlia told the Advocate. 

Unfortunately, Tahlia isn’t the first to be taken advantage of in the popular chemist chain. 29 year old Hayley Vobart blames the brightly coloured signs and extremely narrow aisles. 

“You just get so claustrophobic and overstimulated in there your brain freaks out goes auto pilot mood and soon your discovering solutions to health issues you never knew you had” Hayley told our reporter.

“I purchased a $29 hair mask that was meant to replump my hair and wrap moisture, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.” 

While Chemist Warehouse seems to be the main perpetrator, customers are calling out other chains who are known for the “accidental spend.” 

“I’m done for if I step into Kmart with a bit of time to kill. I’ll be leaving with a vegetable cutter, a mango shaped candle and a new set of queen sized sheets” local shopper, Justin Beezley told the advocate. 

“It’s why I try and only online shop these days.”
