Could be a number of things. Maybe ask what kind of store it is in Germany? Delhaize is not really a hard discounter that tries to be the lowest price around. Germany most supermarkets are more price sensitive
Was it produced in Belgium or elsewhere? I know for example that Maltesers are 2,99 euro for a big bag here, but in the Netherlands it’s 5,99 euro.
Het grote probleem in belgie met prijzen is de kostenstructuur van bedrijven. Hoofdzakelijk de taxen die bedrijven betalen…
Alles wordt kapot getaxeerd en wie betaalt dat? Wij …
The eco part is also a lie.
That’s the reason why I buy all my soap and shampoo in Germany.
Taxes on plastics
Nog nooit spa gaan kopen in Frankrijk ? (Trouwens de meeste van onze bieren zijn daar ook goedkoper)
Basic Gouda cheese is cheaper in Germany etc haha.
Same thing with Belgian products in France. Much less expensive.
Wouldnt it be nice if Dm came to Brussels? It would wipe the floor with belgian drug stores. After 2 months all could be gone.
In The Netherlands the same product is 3.59 euro… Crazy
Ecover is Belgian? Nice. Been buying it in the UK without even knowing.
It’s £2.60 here. So €2.96, still cheaper than Belgium xD
Not surprised though, even Belgian beer is often cheaper in DE/NL.
Very expensive in the UK though 🙁 even before Brexit!
Almost all personal hygiene or cleaning products are a lot cheaper in germany. Probably because of more competition and perhaps a lot lower taxes and cheaper labour costs.
Is it cheaper in France too?

great product and design though
Dit werd vrij recent goed uitgelegd door Arjen Lubach. Vergelijking was Nederland-Duitsland maar zelfde principe.

Tax is the reason
Everything regarding personal hygiene is cheaper in Germany. Also you have a gigantic assortment in DM.
If you pick the most expensive stores in Belgium and compare it with the cheapest over there you’ll get those differences.
I’ve read that Belgium is a small market and has less overall competition. Many companies don’t bother to lower price because of this. How true this is, no clue. Would explain a lot.
We found refill containers of Ecover in a store in Iceland where you could refill your empty bottle instead of throwing it away. Something we never saw in Belgium.
That’s what happens when you have taxes on taxes that tax taxes…
Distance from place of origin is irrelevant to prices. Shipping costs are minuscule. Consumer prices are determined by the level of competition among retailers
I never shop at Kruidvat, but go to Germany every 3 months to stock up (combining with a day in Düsseldorf, Aachen or Cologne, or a weekend in Berlin). Always worth it.
Totally baffling how expensive Kruidvat is and what they dare call a “promotion”. Don’t even get me started about delusional AH

Now compare telecom prices
Wages are higher in Germany too.

At Colruyt it’s 2.99€ per liter so you can find it cheaper than that here in Belgium. [https://www.collectandgo.be/nl/merken-ecover#pdp_3074457345616788279](https://www.collectandgo.be/nl/merken-ecover#pdp_3074457345616788279)
But I do get your point.
Like almost everything
