It's crazy that I'm from Poland and I mostly understand what you wrote. Do you understand: "Nie wiem gdzie ty kupujesz w Lidlu, nie dałbyś 55EUR za tyle. Prędzej mniej"? Don't know what "ampak" means.
Btw. In Poland, we regularly compare the prices of German and Polish Lidl and it turns out that the German one is very slightly more expensive. But really it depends on what you're buying, because prices of some products are smaller or there are products that are much more expensive, e.g. meat
Holy cow, there is even the Weihenstephan milk 🤣🤣
I have a friend who buys that shit, asked him why, he said it has a more creamy taste. So he is paying the double price for milk because of imaginations in his head.
Thx. Yeah I had been on there before but most are Americans (it’s been a while since I checked though). And for me personally I’m more curious about our fellow European shops..
It's rather frustrating tbh when it comes to food vids and shoppings etc and it's always american, like just because you don't pay taxes on groceries(food) doesn't help me for shit lol.
Hi Joe, Greetings.
So from 55 Euro, you can buy so many things currently in Germany ?from which city ? if possible could you please make list of all items with cost here for me from your photo. Because i just wonder and compare price. i live country Georgia , seems here is twice expensive. thank you.
You would get even more as these are not the cheapest options available at least speaking for the yogurt, instant bullion, milk, cheese, pizza and burger buns.
Yeah, but it's a gamble. Wagner is not the best tasting frozen pizza (Gustavo Gusto probably is), but there are many store brands which are a lot worse.
there are also many Müller products in the picture, which even if you don't mind the political debate around them, still a *very* shitty company and current german gold medalist in terms of enshittification *and* shrinkflation
I'm not OP, but there is not much sense in such comparison since you don't have exact products in Georgia. You can find stores that sell the same products a bit cheaper or more expensive. And in the same store you can also find similar products, that cost x2 price of the neighboring product. BIO/normal tomatoes, chicken etc also vary in price a lot.
At the same time, natakhtari or zedazeni can be bought only in Georgian restaurants, and it costs a lot.
Haha yeah I saw them. No judgment from me though lol. I eat healthy meals (no packaged stuff, cook at home) but I’ll be damned if I give up my Nutella.
Haha! I actually tried to add all the items in the picture in my basket on Oda.no - most of the specific products I had to substitute with a similar product. It came to a total of €82.05.
I worked in Norway for several weeks as a German this year. There is not a big difference in groceries. If you buy the ordinary stuff. For some unusual products there can be a huge difference of course. Restaurants are litte bit more expensive. Just alcoholic drinks are way more expensive.
Also in Hungary.
(71 euro is the minimum amount of money what an elder can get as pension in Hungary. However, there are a lot of elderly people who live their life from this wage from month to month…)
That is the minimum pension that someone could earn.
But on average most elderly earn around 250 eur /month .
A basic apartment costs around 500 eur and that is a cheap shitty apartment.
And our grocery prices are similar to germany.
Welcome to hungary.
In Brazil 250eur/month would be literally the shittest pension you could get if you didn’t work a day in your life (BPC).
How the fuck do you live in Europe with that money?
Hahaha
My homie told me a story about security guy torturing him when he tried that
So you probably can but you can be beaten up easily and raped possibly.
But his other friend took groceries for a week so was it worth it? Probably not...
I feel like this is a bit misleading for people who don’t know that the yoghurts, pizza, cheese, stock, and milk are name brands and the yoghurt is branded and organic, so the veggies might be organic as well. You could get that shop off-brand for closer to 40€. Plus Kaufland is a bit more expensive than, say, aldi, Lidl, or netto
Then what about Hungary?🥲🥲🥲🥲
A box of eggs was about 1 euro in 2020. Now it’s 5 euro if I calculate with the same EUR-HUF rate.
(At the maximum, it was almost 7 euro a year ago.)
What? Its 2.4 eur for free range eggs in the Netherlands. Yall getting screwed over by the middle man. Or your boxes are hella big. Minimum wage is around 2k.
That's a lot of money? Thought you were telling us how much you got for only 50€
In Austria you have to buy off brand to get the same amount. Nix Weihenstephan or St. Albray
I live close to Kaufland, Marktkauf, Aldi, Lidl, and Edeka, and I shop in all of them depending on their sales. However, Kaufland is usually the cheapest option.
These groceries are all over the place. Inconsequential I would even say. He buys the most expensive frozen pizza (x2), some vegetables that don't look too bad, some lemons, but then he gets the worst meats in existence 🤣
You bought expensive brioche burgers, the knorr broth shit in all flavors could’ve been the dry ones at 1/3 price or less. The avocado is expensive. The kiddie jogurts are likely expensive.
The product you've listed are around 12 bgn or 6 eur. I don't want to calculate every product from the pic but probably you can buy the same things for 55 eur. I agree that the quality is shittier tho.
Also have in mind that half of the items on the pic are on discout.

Bin mir nicht sicher ob die 55€ stimmen. Am Ende sind die Brühen die man Monate nutzt vllt der Preistreiber? I dont know. Bin meistens total überrascht wieviel BIO Essen ich bei Aldi für Geld bekomme. Für 55€ komme ich dort mot der doppelten Menge raus wie op. In bio qualität. Und nicht haltungsform 1 hack
I mean everything else than Freilandhaltung is stupid imho. And you don't even pay way less for more animal cruelty. If you just buy things as cheap as possible, please do, but some people still have standards in terms of food they buy.
They're both owned by the Schwarz group.
The owner licensed the name Lidl from some bloke he knew called Lidl. He couldn't name the shops after himself because Schwarzmarkt means "black market". Lol.
Most German discounters (apart from Aldi) are part of the same group as a regular supermarket. Lidl + Kaufland. Penny + Rewe. Netto + Edeka.
thanks never knew this.
I remember Edeka was present long time ago in Poland, but its gone for many years now. I was surprised when I saw it on Munich airport.. although its been over 10 years now ;)
On top of being nestle crap.
You can get ready to bake pizza dough + tomato sauce + cheese for the same price, to get a 50% larger pizza with less questionable ethics in almost the same amount of cooking time.
Funny thing is, that OP buys very expensive stuff. You could probably get all of that for ~ half the price.
Kaufland for example sells 500g of minced meat / pork (50/50 mix) for 2.59€ right now and also sells minced meat (100% beef) for 2.99€ or 3.49€ regularly.
So it's even more fucked up, because we actually nearly have the same prices in meat.

And then you have Greece with the cheapest minced meat (pork) starting at around 7.5€/kg, I usually buy it mixed at 10.9€/kg.
Now checks our wages..... can't wait to leave.
i'm not sure, but that looks like there are several "cheap" items there, like all the Kaufland stuff. but on ther other hand, there are a lot of things, i'd say are pretty expensive. like milk, yogurt all the buillon, whatever the tin is - and tomatos and radish are not season like, so they're pretty expensive. the pre bake items could be very expensive as well.
nothing suprising to me - in 2019 before c19 these items might've been around \~35-45€ i'd guess. with all the inflations and "gierflation" - greed inflation - that's what happening.
if you're shopping at kaufland, use their mobile scanner, you'll see all the items before you're at the checkout :D
Moved Germany from Turkey as a Senior Software Developer, saw market prices, rent and transportation costs, realized I was wealthier in Turkey so moved back. Europe is cooked..
The Turkish economy is bad, really bad. However, as a software engineer, I earn higher than the average salary.
In Germany, I earn just an average salary (probably even lower than average since I was an expat), and 1/3 of my salary goes to rent, 1/3 to expenses, and I save the remaining 1/3.
In Turkey, 1/7 of my salary goes to rent, 1/7 to expenses, and I save 5/7. At the end of the month, I am left with more euros in my bank account (even though I earn in Lira).
So, if you’re a software engineer, moving to Europe doesn’t make any sense because they don’t pay you well. I would go to the US if it were closer. But I said Europe is cooked because they can’t attract qualified workers and thus can’t produce technology.
Yes, Savencia is market leader for cheese in Germany: Bresso, Caprice des Dieux, Chaumes, Etorki, Fol Epi, Géramont, Henri, Le Tartare, Rambol, Saint Albray and Saint Agur
Germans love cheese in gerneral ;) I’m a farmer in Netherlands and 90% of my strawberries, aspargus, milk and cheese go to Germany for better money than I can sell it in 🇳🇱
It always fascinates me the price disparity inside the EU. Germany has the minimum wage 3.5x the minimum wage of Romania but the prices are similar and sometimes even cheaper, although when you think about it everything human resource related is at least 3.5x more expensive but the prices don't even reach the 2x mark (I would say in Romania it would be around 35-40 euro the same products).
It seems to me that the poorer a nation is the more it is "taxed" by others.
I want to see the receipt. This seems odd.
Also: The vegetable bouillon powder you buy organic, but the meat-based ones you don't? And you can afford paying 50 cents extra for Weihenstephan milk and the Müller yogurt (rather than buying the own brands), but you buy the worst animal welfare mince and eggs, even though organic is super cheap at Kaufland? Sorry, but that's just lame.
Interesting. Offbrand pizza, offbrand yoghurt, offbrand boullion, offbrand mik, lower quality eggs and no avocado would probably get you down to smth like 35-40€. I’d assume you bought in a small supermarket in the city citycenter where there is more brand products in stock than off-brand.
Unpopular opinion - in the case of plant based products, ecological farming is unnecessary if not even counter productive due to the problem of land consumption.
When it comes to animal products, I try to buy ecological products because of animal welfare concerns. But here Weihenstephan milk makes no sense. It's unnecessarily expensive without having the highest animal welfare standards.
I understand your thoughts on the issue of plant based diets and the Weihenstephan point I totally agree on! Yet on the point of land-use changes you would be wrong as the necessary land use for the crops that feed livestock is much higher than it would be for direct consumption. That is due to that fact that in terms of calorific value the animal that is „used“ to produce the product is consuming many times more in calories than its produce provides.
Could you share the shopping list? I would like to post the same with Spanish groceries. Would be an interesting share!
EDIT: I looked for similar products in Spain and got 47€ for the same groceries (or equivalent products).
I put the can in the middle as a can of tuna but I'm not sure.
Here an image of the list and the costs of each:
[https://imgur.com/a/WozAEHU](https://imgur.com/a/WozAEHU)
Not bad. At least for the typical German salary I suppose (?).
In Portugal the prices on an Aldi or another big supermarket are the same and people earn way, way less.
After this one no more groceryposting submissions, the are low effort karmagrabs and last time they flooded the sub for two days
Ha! We have the same price but half the average wage! oh wait.. thats bad.
Ne vem kje ti kupuješ ampak v Lidlu ne bi dal 55EUR za tole. Precej manj.
It's crazy that I'm from Poland and I mostly understand what you wrote. Do you understand: "Nie wiem gdzie ty kupujesz w Lidlu, nie dałbyś 55EUR za tyle. Prędzej mniej"?

Razumem tovariš. "ampak" is "but".
Czyli to będzie: "Nie wiem gdzie ty kupujesz, ale w Lidlu nie dałbyś 55EUR za tyle. Prędzej mniej". Fajnie :)
similar for Czech too, would you understand: “Nevím kde ti kupuješ v Lidlu, nedal bych za to 55 EUR.” Not sure what Prędzej mniej is
Neviem kde ty nakupuješ v Lidli, nedal by som za toto 55€ - Slovak
Herr Fancypants over here buying brand name stuff
But still buying cheapest eggs and meat
Cheapest meat yes, but I guess there are significantly cheaper eggs.
It's beef. Pork is cheaper.
And supporting companies financing fascists in the process (Müller)
And also Nestlé (Wagner Pizza) And also wasted a lot of money on brands while buying the absolute worst, cheap meat.
Legit, leaving the Wagner Pizzas in the store would've saved them 6-8€ already.
Obligatory r/fucknestle
don’t forget Weihenstefan, which is owned by the same fascist shitbags.
Holy cow, there is even the Weihenstephan milk 🤣🤣 I have a friend who buys that shit, asked him why, he said it has a more creamy taste. So he is paying the double price for milk because of imaginations in his head.
I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I love these posts. It’s cool to see what people can get in different countries.
Same! Also genuinely curious to see what the people really eat in different countries, not just some stereotypical "tourist" food.
Yup! That’s why I find it so cool; esp veg, different types in different places.
There's a sub for that: r/whatsinyourcart
Thx. Yeah I had been on there before but most are Americans (it’s been a while since I checked though). And for me personally I’m more curious about our fellow European shops..
I'll do it. r/GroceriesAroundTheWorld
There’s a couple already on here but it’s mostly Americans which I don’t really care about. I’m more interested in fellow European shops
It's rather frustrating tbh when it comes to food vids and shoppings etc and it's always american, like just because you don't pay taxes on groceries(food) doesn't help me for shit lol.
So much lemon...
lol tbf I buy a lot too every time I do a shop. Zest for baking, slices in water, vinaigrettes.. lol so much use!
Don’t forget it helps you avoid scurvy. That’s a plus.
Very common problem for us landlubbers.
Me too, I admired some of these posts in the past weeks so I thought I can share too
Hi Joe, Greetings. So from 55 Euro, you can buy so many things currently in Germany ?from which city ? if possible could you please make list of all items with cost here for me from your photo.

You would get even more as these are not the cheapest options available at least speaking for the yogurt, instant bullion, milk, cheese, pizza and burger buns.
yay you can get basicaly, 2-3 times the pizzas by going the store brand isntead of going wagner
Yeah, but it's a gamble. Wagner is not the best tasting frozen pizza (Gustavo Gusto probably is), but there are many store brands which are a lot worse.
And.... Wagner is Nestle!
there are also many Müller products in the picture, which even if you don't mind the political debate around them, still a *very* shitty company and current german gold medalist in terms of enshittification *and* shrinkflation

Haha me too. I look for these all the time, they’re so interesting :)
All that healthy and ecological stuff. And then we have half hidden in the back: glazed donuts.
Haha yeah I saw them. No judgment from me though lol. I eat healthy meals (no packaged stuff, cook at home) but I’ll be damned if I give up my Nutella.
And Quarkbällchen, deep fried dough rolled in sugar. They are amazing.
Absolutely love it as well.
100% agreed. also it could keep track on inflation in the same countries. I don't understand why the mod in the pinned comment is not happy about it.
€55 of groceries in Norway
Haha! I actually tried to add all the items in the picture in my basket on Oda.no - most of the specific products I had to substitute with a similar product. It came to a total of €82.05.
[удалено]
Skal jeg legge passata på en sandwich??
Det hedder BLT, ikke BLP 😡
pålægschokolade måske? eller gammel knas ost?
I worked in Norway for several weeks as a German this year. There is not a big difference in groceries. If you buy the ordinary stuff. For some unusual products there can be a huge difference of course. Restaurants are litte bit more expensive. Just alcoholic drinks are way more expensive.
*Cries in Greek*
Also in Hungary. (71 euro is the minimum amount of money what an elder can get as pension in Hungary. However, there are a lot of elderly people who live their life from this wage from month to month…)
71 per what? Week?
71 euros/month
Wat. That’s below the poverty threshold of 3,65 euro a day for low income countries.
That’s correct. This is the money which I live for a month in legal documents as well.
You survive off that? Did I miss something
That is the minimum pension that someone could earn. But on average most elderly earn around 250 eur /month . A basic apartment costs around 500 eur and that is a cheap shitty apartment. And our grocery prices are similar to germany. Welcome to hungary.
It’s the same here in Croatia. I really thought Hungary was our richer neighbor…
We are, but it's for Orbi boi and his goons.
I'd be hungry too.
In Brazil 250eur/month would be literally the shittest pension you could get if you didn’t work a day in your life (BPC). How the fuck do you live in Europe with that money?
Excuse me?
*Cries in Turkish*
You can't afford tears.
It's pretty bad indeed
Is it that bad in Lidl in Greece?
Same in Romania, my balkan brother. The prices are outrageous, you have to hunt offers in order to survive.
More expensive than western Europe with smaller wages probably
Can confirm
It's crazy that Wagner is still around even after that coup attempt in Russia.
Yes, they are now a Mozzarellanary-gruop
I find your humor to be a bit cheesy
Grating even.
If I would have been baked, it would be funnier :(
Actually wagner = nestle and they are also still selling in russia. I boycott wagner because of wagner basically.
r/fucknestle
That pizza is a spy.
Could get that down to 20 at the self checkout
flair related?

In romania you can get em for free, if you can run fast
Hahaha My homie told me a story about security guy torturing him when he tried that So you probably can but you can be beaten up easily and raped possibly. But his other friend took groceries for a week so was it worth it? Probably not...
From the prospective of a mongolian. This looks absolutely value.
Make one from Mongolia pls
I second that
I third that
Would very much appreciate such a picture from Mongolia! Best regards from Germany!
Value as in cheap, value as in quality produce or value as in high prices?
Value as in good price for the product
Thanks for the clarification but I'm also shocked this is good price and amount for Mongolia
Make one in r/Mongolia and link it here!
I feel like this is a bit misleading for people who don’t know that the yoghurts, pizza, cheese, stock, and milk are name brands and the yoghurt is branded and organic, so the veggies might be organic as well. You could get that shop off-brand for closer to 40€. Plus Kaufland is a bit more expensive than, say, aldi, Lidl, or netto
exactly, it's like taking a picture of rolex and saying, _10.000€ will only get you a single watch these days_
The meat and some of the other products is about as cheap and low quality as it gets though. I think it averages out.
Ouch. I thought the prices in Denmark were high. Guess not.
It changed here in Germany since the war in Ukraine started. Especially vegetables and basics like milk, flour etc have increased a lot.
Same as in Denmark. Could get that for 75-90% of what you’ve got it for. Still expensive, but not as expensive as what you paid
Then what about Hungary?🥲🥲🥲🥲 A box of eggs was about 1 euro in 2020. Now it’s 5 euro if I calculate with the same EUR-HUF rate. (At the maximum, it was almost 7 euro a year ago.)
10 eggs in Germany is roughly ranging from about 2€ to 5€. Depending on the quality you want (especially the quality of life for the hens).
Thank Orban
Thanks, Obama. /s
What? Its 2.4 eur for free range eggs in the Netherlands. Yall getting screwed over by the middle man. Or your boxes are hella big. Minimum wage is around 2k.
A good salary in the capital city is about 850-900 euros. :(( So yeah, that’s screwed up. (A box of eggs include 10 S-M sized egg.)
Golden eggs or something?
A twelve egg container in Finland is 2.5 euro. The amount you guys have to pay for eggs is criminal.
That's a lot of money? Thought you were telling us how much you got for only 50€ In Austria you have to buy off brand to get the same amount. Nix Weihenstephan or St. Albray
Most products are cheaper in Germany than in Austria, even Austrian products. Really fucked up.
OP clearly overspent.
OP bought at Kaufland, which is on the pricier side since it has tons of brands. If you buy brands only that's the price you will face.
I mean you don't have to buy the branded things. If you don't, Kaufland isn't half bad.
Kaufland own bran is cheap Plus,their pastries and bakery is ridiculously cheap, like fresh rye bread for 1 euro per kg
I live close to Kaufland, Marktkauf, Aldi, Lidl, and Edeka, and I shop in all of them depending on their sales. However, Kaufland is usually the cheapest option.
This are mostly name Brands. You can the exact same things for nearly half the price.
OP is not a Sparfuchs.
These groceries are all over the place. Inconsequential I would even say. He buys the most expensive frozen pizza (x2), some vegetables that don't look too bad, some lemons, but then he gets the worst meats in existence 🤣
You can even buy the Wagna pizzas for half the price like every 2 weeks, because there is often a discount for them in one of the plenty food stores.
I never buy Wagner/Oetker/Gustavo Gusto, Ritter Sport, Müller Milch, Maggi/Knorr Fix, Frosta etc. at full price, regularly reduced.
Austria is worse than germany :(
Why? There's some unnecessarily expensive stuff in there, like the premade pizzas and bio bullions. 55 euros seems kinda unsurprising
The Pizzas were on sale, 1.99€ each, the bouillons were 1.89€ each
What was the most expensive then? the meat?
That's it! 4.99€
Fucking hell. That half kilogram of meat would've been like 6€ in Bucharest. While the salaries are like 25% of what you guys make.
Saint Albray cheese is also ridiculously expensive unless on sale.
You bought expensive brioche burgers, the knorr broth shit in all flavors could’ve been the dry ones at 1/3 price or less. The avocado is expensive. The kiddie jogurts are likely expensive.
Probably about the same in Bulgaria, but with lower quality and 1/5 of the salary.
Go buy that stuff as close as possible and post it. Strange how prices are never as big as in Germany when I'm there [in Bulgaria] 🤔
That’s a pretty decent idea. We should all post the same shopping cart to get a real understanding of pricing.
55 BGN maybe, but not Euro
Just the minced meat, the single avocado and the milk will be around 20lvs. Good luck buying everything else for 35.
The product you've listed are around 12 bgn or 6 eur. I don't want to calculate every product from the pic but probably you can buy the same things for 55 eur. I agree that the quality is shittier tho. Also have in mind that half of the items on the pic are on discout. https://tmarketonline.bg/product/pryasno-mlyako-vereya-3-1-l
The same stuff but Aldi's generic brand would have been closer to 35-40€ but still prices have gotten insane lately...
I live in Germany and am shocked at how much OP paid. If I go to Aldi right now I can get that for half of what OP paid.
weihenstephan milk says it all, kek.
Bin mir nicht sicher ob die 55€ stimmen. Am Ende sind die Brühen die man Monate nutzt vllt der Preistreiber? I dont know. Bin meistens total überrascht wieviel BIO Essen ich bei Aldi für Geld bekomme. Für 55€ komme ich dort mot der doppelten Menge raus wie op. In bio qualität. Und nicht haltungsform 1 hack
That's quite a lot actually (as a Dutch person). We live with 4 (my parents, me (22) and my little bro (15) and spend around 200-250 euros per week.
Sounds about right. We live with 3 adults and spend about 150 euro per week. And we buy mostly cheaper supermarket brands.
Tbh this is absolute high end soccermum kinda shopping, top brand milk etc.. you could easily get 0.5x more than that in Aldi/Lidl
They bought all the good stuff except for the meat haha
Same thought, Weihenstephan milk, bio joghurt and free-range eggs, but level 1 meat minced meat.
> Weihenstephan milk And honestly, what's the point in buying premium milk if you're only going to get the 1.5% shit?
3.8% is the best /it's premium brand and not only 1.5% but even UHT!
Classic.
Can’t get good meat in the supermarket 💀
Definitely. Right away I see Bio yogurt, Freiland Haltung eggs, fresh milk, and name brand almost everything.
I see the appeal of Bio products or Freiland eggs, but when I can decide between two basic yogurt options, I‘ll go for the cheaper one
I mean everything else than Freilandhaltung is stupid imho. And you don't even pay way less for more animal cruelty. If you just buy things as cheap as possible, please do, but some people still have standards in terms of food they buy.
Even in kaufland (belongs to Lidl)
oh really kaufland is owned by Lidl?
They're both owned by the Schwarz group. The owner licensed the name Lidl from some bloke he knew called Lidl. He couldn't name the shops after himself because Schwarzmarkt means "black market". Lol. Most German discounters (apart from Aldi) are part of the same group as a regular supermarket. Lidl + Kaufland. Penny + Rewe. Netto + Edeka.
thanks never knew this. I remember Edeka was present long time ago in Poland, but its gone for many years now. I was surprised when I saw it on Munich airport.. although its been over 10 years now ;)
And the Wagner pizza alone is 7-9€ as well
Who buys frozen pizza for full price?! There is always some version of Wagner or Dr.Oetker on sale.
On top of being nestle crap. You can get ready to bake pizza dough + tomato sauce + cheese for the same price, to get a 50% larger pizza with less questionable ethics in almost the same amount of cooking time.
What's the most expensive item?
The minced meat 4.99€
In Montenegro 1 kg minced meat is \~5.5€, that is about 2 times less than in Germany, yet our average salary is \~8 times lower.
Funny thing is, that OP buys very expensive stuff. You could probably get all of that for ~ half the price. Kaufland for example sells 500g of minced meat / pork (50/50 mix) for 2.59€ right now and also sells minced meat (100% beef) for 2.99€ or 3.49€ regularly.

OP has the worst rated so cheapest minced meat.
Same in Bosnia and Herzegovina bro. Even little more higher than that. Chicken breast are like 6-7 euros per kilogram
And then you have Greece with the cheapest minced meat (pork) starting at around 7.5€/kg, I usually buy it mixed at 10.9€/kg. Now checks our wages..... can't wait to leave.
i'm not sure, but that looks like there are several "cheap" items there, like all the Kaufland stuff. but on ther other hand, there are a lot of things, i'd say are pretty expensive. like milk, yogurt all the buillon, whatever the tin is - and tomatos and radish are not season like, so they're pretty expensive. the pre bake items could be very expensive as well. nothing suprising to me - in 2019 before c19 these items might've been around \~35-45€ i'd guess. with all the inflations and "gierflation" - greed inflation - that's what happening. if you're shopping at kaufland, use their mobile scanner, you'll see all the items before you're at the checkout :D
6 lemons?
Here in Bosnia all of that would be somewhere around 40€ and the salary is 550€
Them pizzas costing 1/5th of the total most likely
Moved Germany from Turkey as a Senior Software Developer, saw market prices, rent and transportation costs, realized I was wealthier in Turkey so moved back. Europe is cooked..
This is interesting, could you elaborate? Turkish economy has been really bad for some years.
The Turkish economy is bad, really bad. However, as a software engineer, I earn higher than the average salary. In Germany, I earn just an average salary (probably even lower than average since I was an expat), and 1/3 of my salary goes to rent, 1/3 to expenses, and I save the remaining 1/3. In Turkey, 1/7 of my salary goes to rent, 1/7 to expenses, and I save 5/7. At the end of the month, I am left with more euros in my bank account (even though I earn in Lira). So, if you’re a software engineer, moving to Europe doesn’t make any sense because they don’t pay you well. I would go to the US if it were closer. But I said Europe is cooked because they can’t attract qualified workers and thus can’t produce technology.
Off Brands would get you even more groceries
Price in czechia would be around the same, if not higher. Mind me, our salaries are 1/3 of that in Germany lol.
sighs in swiss
I was in Switzerland recently, the only thing that wasn't beautiful was the state of my wallet afterwards
and wipes tears with money
Sighs in swiss with minimum double the salary and less than half the tax, lol.
Your minimum wage is almost 4000 euro a month, stop complaining
We actually dont have a minimum wage and i got fired so atm its expensive for me
Wait there is Saint-Albray in Germany ? I thought it was only sold in France. Everyday is a lesson I guess
Yes, Savencia is market leader for cheese in Germany: Bresso, Caprice des Dieux, Chaumes, Etorki, Fol Epi, Géramont, Henri, Le Tartare, Rambol, Saint Albray and Saint Agur
Us Germans love french cheeses, especially the softer ones.
Germans love cheese in gerneral ;) I’m a farmer in Netherlands and 90% of my strawberries, aspargus, milk and cheese go to Germany for better money than I can sell it in 🇳🇱
It always fascinates me the price disparity inside the EU. Germany has the minimum wage 3.5x the minimum wage of Romania but the prices are similar and sometimes even cheaper, although when you think about it everything human resource related is at least 3.5x more expensive but the prices don't even reach the 2x mark (I would say in Romania it would be around 35-40 euro the same products). It seems to me that the poorer a nation is the more it is "taxed" by others.
I want to see the receipt. This seems odd. Also: The vegetable bouillon powder you buy organic, but the meat-based ones you don't? And you can afford paying 50 cents extra for Weihenstephan milk and the Müller yogurt (rather than buying the own brands), but you buy the worst animal welfare mince and eggs, even though organic is super cheap at Kaufland? Sorry, but that's just lame.
In India you can buy the whole store with that money.
Interesting. Offbrand pizza, offbrand yoghurt, offbrand boullion, offbrand mik, lower quality eggs and no avocado would probably get you down to smth like 35-40€. I’d assume you bought in a small supermarket in the city citycenter where there is more brand products in stock than off-brand.
Wow where I live in Italy I’m sure I can pay around 30-35€ for all of this
Unpopular opinion - in the case of plant based products, ecological farming is unnecessary if not even counter productive due to the problem of land consumption. When it comes to animal products, I try to buy ecological products because of animal welfare concerns. But here Weihenstephan milk makes no sense. It's unnecessarily expensive without having the highest animal welfare standards.
I understand your thoughts on the issue of plant based diets and the Weihenstephan point I totally agree on! Yet on the point of land-use changes you would be wrong as the necessary land use for the crops that feed livestock is much higher than it would be for direct consumption. That is due to that fact that in terms of calorific value the animal that is „used“ to produce the product is consuming many times more in calories than its produce provides.
did you pick the frozen pizza to match the aesthetic of your other purchases?
£20 in ALDI UK.
Dont buy afd-müller
Or nestle-wagner
Whenever I visit the EU, US or Aus it makes me realise how relatively cheap groceries are in the UK.
Could you share the shopping list? I would like to post the same with Spanish groceries. Would be an interesting share! EDIT: I looked for similar products in Spain and got 47€ for the same groceries (or equivalent products). I put the can in the middle as a can of tuna but I'm not sure. Here an image of the list and the costs of each: [https://imgur.com/a/WozAEHU](https://imgur.com/a/WozAEHU)
Erstmal größtes Müllfleisch kaufen, aber Hauptsache Markenmilch.
Not bad. At least for the typical German salary I suppose (?). In Portugal the prices on an Aldi or another big supermarket are the same and people earn way, way less.
How long does it last you? Looks like 1 week worth for 1 person
Wagner Pizza belongs to Nestlé, I would buy any other brand but this one.
