Fresh cucumber and tomatoes are expensive at this time of the year.

To be fair, as someone who loves those cashews, they are extortionate in price.
alright the cashews are probably fairly expensive, but still…not that much for 35€? is it the ground meat? the bio apples? whats eating up so much of the money
For everyone saying that it is expensive, this is a 700g pack of meat. You add the cashews and you are already at almost 20euros. 35euros seems ok for me (as a french).
That’s three days of very healthy food with above average brands and smaller sized packages, while cashews make up 1/7th of the price.
Very reasonable prices, in my opinion.
I see some Bolognese in your future.
Try to buy more of stuff with “Bio” on it and it will be even better bait on Reddit
in Turin, which is one of the most expensive cities after Milan, you need €10 less for a purchase like that
Replace the meat, cheese and nuts with something cheaper and you’ll halve the price
Cheaper than in Dublin Ireland!
Why does so many people on this sub reddit buy cashews.
What is the average salary in Finland?
We should do a benchmark shopping list to be used as a test for different (european) countries.
I shop at M&S (which is generally one of the more up-market food places in the UK) and my entire weekly shop only costs about £40
There must be a special place in hell for people who buy pasta at Lidl. Seriously, buy DeCecco/Rummo/Garofalo. Settle for Barilla if you don’t find none of the above. Never buy any less than Barilla.
That’s really quite expensive for Lidl
BASILIKA!!!!
Price in UK from Asda (a British supermarket that has similar prices to UK Lidl/Aldi) £20.08 or €23.29 but that excludes the gold sausage pack, as I wasn’t exactly sure what that was. I’ve only included a 200g pack of Cashews, but I suspect your pack may be bigger.
that would be about 20€ in Portugal and GDP per capita -” is expected to reach 24400.00 USD by the end of 2022, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations”
Could be cheaper if you didn’t buy Bio (organic for US readers) products.

Wow! That’s not much for €35.
