Ouch. I thought the prices in Denmark were high. Guess not.
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.
sighs in swiss
What’s the most expensive item?
*Cries in Greek*
Probably about the same in Bulgaria, but with lower quality and 1/5 of the salary.
From the prospective of a mongolian. This looks absolutely value.
My man eating nothing but vegetables. To be fair, that’s probably the most expensive part, apart from the meat right?
It’s crazy that Wagner is still around even after that coup attempt in Russia.
Off Brands would get you even more groceries
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
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.
€55 of groceries in Norway

Erstmal größtes Müllfleisch kaufen, aber Hauptsache Markenmilch.
The same stuff but Aldi’s generic brand would have been closer to 35-40€ but still prices have gotten insane lately…
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’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 😀
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
In India you can buy the whole store with that money.
Still a good amount, in Austria you’d probbaly only get half, maybe two thirds of that, for that amount of money
in Romania its even worse than this
Wagner Pizza belongs to Nestlé, I would buy any other brand but this one.
Why do you need 6 lemons?
Ha! We have the same price but half the average wage!
oh wait.. thats bad.
Price in czechia would be around the same, if not higher.
Mind me, our salaries are 1/3 of that in Germany lol.
As a German this is depressing this should be like 25€
I remember my mom doing weekly shopping for a family of 4 and the cart was FULL and it was like 60€
Herr Fancypants over here buying brand name stuff
That’s a lot of food for €55. IMO.
Them pizzas costing 1/5th of the total most likely
Wie traurig. Vor Corona hätte das im Aldi alles zusammen 17.45 gekostet
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.
Could get that down to 20 at the self checkout
Sure, vegetables are cheap
That’s an unnecessarily expensive shopping tour. For the same amount of money one can buy groceries enough for at least two weeks.
Examples:
* Instead of two pizzas (as you mentioned for each in sale (!) 1,99€ = 4€) you can buy a package of wheat, mashed tomatoes and two whole mozarellas, which is enough for at least three pizzas of the same size.
* Instead of two “Joghurt mit der Ecke” you can buy a big package of joghurt and a bar of chocolate and have at least (!) four selfmade “Joghurt mit der Ecke”.
* Instead of buns you can buy real, tasty bread which lasts a lot longer and makes you fed up.
My advice: Avoid products wherever you can. The time you expect to “save” for not doing things for yourself isn’t worth the money you seem to save. A selfmade Joghurt mit der Ecke costs you 20 seconds more than just opening a buyed one.

Damn that seems expensive.
