A woman from Huddersfield was shocked to find their her usual Aldi crisp packet was filled with a potato rather than crisps.
Working from home has many benefits, but the cut in cost for lunch is defintely one of the best.
Unfortunately for one woman, part of her lunch was inedible as she found a giant potato inside for bag of crisps.
The 30-year-old from Huddersfield had purchased a multi-pack from Aldi but it wasn't until she opened the packet that she made the discovery.

The whole potato was accompanied by a small soggy crisp. Crisp bags are known for being full of air, but this measly amount takes the meaning to a new level.
The potato had been slightly salted with the same flavouring as the packet, so assumably the potato simply 'slipped the net' at one stage of production but was not discovered until it was purchased and brought home.
Aldi stock over 35 varieties of crisps online and often change their stock regularly to suit the needs of customers.
According to The Metro, in 2015, a similar situation arose after a Reddit user uploaded a photo of their Mesquite BBQ potato chips only to find a whole potato inside.
The unlucky crisp-eater decided to give the crunchy potato a taste, commenting: "Tried it. Wasn’t good. Tasted like a stale, burnt french fry/salt cube".
The Reddit user described his packet as a "breed of mega crisp does crop up on the crisp scene", and explained that potatoes can accidentally end up in crisp packets when the slicer head jams.
It is likely that this is an isolated incident and we hope for the sake of these unlucky customers, her next bag of Aldi multipack crisps is filled with sliced potato, rather than the whole one she discovered.

It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.

Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
