One thing is I can’t understand is why NL has more expensive groceries than us when they literally export a bunch of it to us? Poor market regulation like Ireland?
Nooo….? Ah it’s from 2022
Whenever I go back to Poland (I live in Copenhagen), I feel like I crossed the universe and landed in some other dimension.
The price of bread, eggs, but most importantly – meat is just extremely low compared to Denmark. Meat itself is like 4x cheaper and in many cases the quality is better.
What does the index mean?
I would need some sort of reference to the average salary because I am pretty sure that the prices in Denmark (where I live as an expat) versus the salary I make here are less than the prices in The Netherlands versus the salaries there. As such the price may be higher but food may still be more affordable for me in Denmark than in The Netherlands.
Blue being more expensive and purple being less expensive seems off to me.
Not shocking that norway is in the top ….
In PPP$ please ?!
This never made sense to me as an Italian in the Netherlands, since food here is much much more expensive but according to EU data it’s supposed to be cheaper :/
It’s a mistake averaging it for the whole countries. Groceries anywhere on Corfu (Greece) are quite more expensive than in Germany.
Second mistake is not taking quality into consideration. It’s a known thing in czechia that if you would buy the products of the same quality in our country you would pay 50% more than in Germany.
Damn, if NL is on the cheap side i feel bad for the rest of you
Food in The Netherlands is cheaper than Italy? WTF.
idk who made this but it’s absolutely bullshit. I’ve been to Germany recently, I’m from Romania, I’ve seen the exact food prices there, some things were even cheaper than in Romanian stores and bear in mind the min German wage is what, 4x more?
2022 🤣🤣🤣
Huh, this is why I feel like food is overpriced everywhere in the EU.
where did the border between Belarus and Russia go?
And of course there’s already a dozen comments saying their anecdotal evidence of going to a supermarket on vacation is somehow better than a 3 year survey involving 36 statistical institutes surveying 500 different food items. At least try reading about it…
Don’t think so. I was living in Germany for few months. Comparing Kaufland products prizes between Poland and Germany, Germany was 10% cheaper.
Turkey is not in Europe
Turkey needs a category of its own here. Things are so much cheaper and just as good as in Bulgaria, that people do big shopping trips to Odrin from quite far away.
Laughs at rubles
Is there newer version of the map? I want to see Serbia goes brrrrr
*cries in Norway* 🥲
This map is misleading. Romania has quite high prices on food. I pay more for food there than I pay in UK.
Bulgaria pays more than poles with half the wage
Greece should be in the dark blue (120%+)
Not true in Romania …
Minding the differences in income – this is insane.
Serbia being pink seems incorrect. Have yall seen the prices here?
Is it absolute or relative (PPP)?
As I ALWAYS tell people, Turkey and Poland make the ‘based’ list again. I’ve been to both countries and would gladly live in those countries instead of America…. they’re not only affordable but have rich cultures too… ESPECIALLY TURKEY
Can you use a better color palette? It’s very hard to see.
That’s not the point of that map, but I noticed Belarus was annexed by Russia.
This data seems off. Romania has the same or higher prices than Germany
Pack your stuff, we are going to Czechia!
Well the British Isles are all alcoholic
The prices in The Netherlands raised a lot since januari, well, actually, the food with added sugars in it. We have a now called Sugar Tax on these products.
This must be old data. As someone living at the Austrian-German-border I can ASSURE you groceries and shopping in general has become SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper in germany. Or probably just more expensive in Austria.
It currently feels like anything but fuel is cheaper in Germany. Sometimes the exaxt same product is like €1,60 in. Germany but € 3,50 in Austria.
This is especially frustrazing if it is a locally produced item that somehow got cheaper after exporting it to Germany.
