Dr. Oz wants voters to know that he’s just like them! Except he’s not actually just like them… as evidenced by his recent trip to the grocery store.
The TV doctor, who is currently running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania despite living in New Jersey, is being widely ridiculed on social media after posting a video of himself inside a grocery store buying ingredients for crudité and complaining about the prices, which he says President Biden is responsible for.
“I’m doing some grocery shopping,” Oz, wearing a navy cotton henley tucked into black dress pants, says. “I’m at Wegner’s”
(He means Wegman’s.)
How about we take this to the next level?

“My wife wants some vegetables for crudité. Right? So, here’s a broccoli. That’s two bucks. Well, that’s a ton of broccoli there,” he continues. “There’s some asparagus. That’s $4. Carrots. That’s four more dollars.”
“That’s $10 of vegetables there! And then we need some guacamole. That’s $4 more! She loves salsa, yeah, salsa there. $6? Must be a shortage of salsa. Guys, that’s $20 for crudite! And this doesn’t include the tequila. I mean, that’s outrageous! We got Joe Biden to thank for this.”
Inflation is hurting American families. Under Joe Biden, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are rising. We must stop the reckless spending. This is outrageous! Thanks a lot, Joe. pic.twitter.com/8kNil6upn8

Oz posted the video shortly after his campaign released his most recent financial disclosure statement that lists his wealth at more than $400 million, which would make him one of the wealthiest Senators if elected (God forbid).

This is just the latest embarrassing thing to happen to the cardiologist on the campaign trail. In January, he was widely ridiculed for posting a video of himself incorrectly performing a blood pressure check on a man at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. This was shortly after his wife, Lisa, was caught cursing out a reporter without realizing she was still on the phone.
Now, the responses to Dr. Oz’s grocery store meltdown…
Cardiac surgeon and tv host living in these two mansions complaining about spending $20 on vegetables is priceless. BTW, if wife sent you out to the store, who’s filming? Try using a basket next time, it’s what the simple folk do. https://t.co/7r1avZDHJx

This guy is roaming around a New Jersey grocery store (where he lives, not Pennsylvania) without a shopping cart complaining about the price of salsa.

I’m sure he just dumped it all on a shelf for someone else to put back, after they stopped filming.

Hahahah. This video is so damn embarrassing. Your outfit alone is reason enough for you to get the hell out of PA. You don’t even live here! This is probably the first time you ever stepped foot in a grocery store & it was to make some stupid shit like this? Dr. Oz is a fraud. Ew

That particular salsa is awful, btw.

Here in PA we simple folk call it a veggie platter.

Clearly you don’t know how to shop. I just got all the same stuff for ~$10. Don’t be lazy, make your own guac dude. pic.twitter.com/YVffpkJG3M

“I haven’t been to the grocery store myself in 15 years, but I’m going to today, and boy am I going to tuck my shirt into my pants. I’m going to tuck them in good!”

F!!! sake first he is really rich have you seen his house, and i,m sad I enjoyed his show in a simple way, but!!! when he went down the GOP rabbit hole, quit him, and he is proving himself bad, his huge ego went in the wrong direction I now conceder him a greedy creep,
paul dorian lord fredine
buy generic salsa you damn fool. btw, F OFF!!!!
Jami Stardust
he’s making a huge assumption that we’re all idiots. Anyone can go to a store and buy the most expensive products. As a poor person, I shop for the least expensive products. I have a hard time believing that his vegetables are any better than my cheap ones.
SoloMcDaniel
Actually Wegner’s is a discount grocery with a single store. Wegman’s is a MUCH nicer grocery store and probably would have lower prices than the crap hole he’s shopping at.
ZzBomb
His first mistake was going to Wegman’s. They are a nicer store in the area compared to King’s etc.
Second, he’s rich so his whining about over priced salsa is absurd.
Third, Biden has nothing to do w/ supply chain issues still stemming from a pandemic that started under the last guy who say on his hands for 4 months calling it a “little flu” before finally allowing the CDC to issues guidelines, of which he himself did not follow.
Conservatives, making rocks look smart since 2000.

Dr. Oz is such a phony! In addition to shopping at affordable supermarkets, including ones with lower-priced but quality produce, he could get less expensive produce at a farmer’s market, of which there are more than a few near his pricey New Jersey home! But seriously, does anyone think this multimillionaire is actually personally shopping for any produce at all?
johncp56
LOL true have you seen his house,, lol
Jack
Oprah and Tyler Perry….tell me you got this. Blacklist him from life in general.
Mack
Knew it was faked when he started picking up groceries without a basket-hand or cart. Sure if you go to the most expensive store in the area it’s going to cost you. In my area we have a Raley’s and a Winco. Raleys is way more expensive than Winco for the same brand to brand item. I costed out what I bought at Winco using Raley’s online ordering. It would have cost me more than $80 more on a $130 purchase for the same items-brand for brand-not house brand.
white-queer-african
Just another GOP Moron!
Essie
(1) He should make his own salsa. It would be better and cheaper. (2) Shop at a more affordable store. I’m surprised he wasn’t at Whole Foods because that’s probably where his wife’s chef shops. (3) you look ridiculous.
SDR94103
she’s a mess.
barryaksarben
What he taught me with this is – He has never shopped for groceries in his entire entitled existance. What a douchebag
Mr. Stadnick
Disingenuous Dr Ooze out being one of the people shopping as they do for crudité. Sacre Bleu! the prices are high for these out of season vegetables.
Inspector 57
So Dr. Oz is cost-conscious on behalf of taxpayers? Shouldn’t be a surprise. I mean, I’m sure that the ineffective and/or harmful products he pitched to the public on his show for twelve years were totally reasonably-priced.
winemaker
And he’s bitching on the p[rice of $6.00 salsa, wow. The irony, he’s very rich but that’s not the point, $6.00 for a tub of salsa, outrageous. And thanks to these clowns we have some of the worst inflation in years thanks to the fools who voted for this and who believed all the BS joey and heels up threw out And to think smart and thinking people voted for these slugs. You’d think the people here in California would be familiar with ‘heels up’ harris, her nickname as she’s screwed her way top and now she’s doing a damned fine job of screwing America. And to think we have to deal with this circus for another 2 1/2 years. Yes I’m gay , andnot all of us are ‘progressives and this duo is an abomination, period. Isn’t it about time the gay community got smart and sees just what the liberals are doing to America? To the liberals, the gay community along with the Latino and black communities are pawns only to be pandered to when elections come around and if you don’t believe how much they ‘care,’ take a look at the former golden state of California, and especially San Francisco the former jewel of California recently monikered the ‘new doo doo’ capital of America
bachy
Dr. Ooze’s crudité may be expensive, but your word salad is FOS.
scotty
just send your whore wife to the store with a twenty and oh wait it was wegmans? make that a 50 and tell her to make you a damn sandwich when she gets back. holy shit that guys a complete hack.
scotty
yeah that 50 is for two veggie platters at the wegmans on the carlisle pike yo and maybe some scrimps
TomG
People actually want this uneducated schmuck as a senator? He fails to understand the very basics of economics that includes the President not be responsible for prices of groceries OR gasoline.
Paulie P
People don’t want him as their senator but he thinks that people want him as that in a state he doesn’t;t live in no less.
PubicHairus
Josh Hawley doesn’t live in Missouri, but he’s representing them in the U.S. Senate. Never underestimate the incredible stupidity of voters who play footsie with the right.
Jim
And Opran is still making money off of the snake oil salesman!
johncp56
????fact ? super creepy I use to respect and like to watch even though I did not like when he started selling realy crap
Thad
I’m not a Republican, but as a Pennsylvania voter I must admit the Republican Senate primary is a dog show. We have three good Democratic candidates who would actually do good things for our country.

I threw up in my mouth last night saw the clip Of tRump praising Dr OZ at a rally, gross ontop of foul
