Celebrity-loved supermarket Erewhon has baffled shoppers with yet another wildly-priced pantry staple.

While the chain may be beloved by the stars, it has been ridiculed for slapping hefty price tags on everyday staples on numerous occasions over the years.
And the latest food favorite to horrify shoppers is no different. The store is now offering 32-ounce soups for a whopping $25 each - only you must buy two at a time, forcing shoppers to fork out a staggering $50 for two jars.
