Can you order the cheaper one… but have it delivered in a local carrefour?
Nothing new I guess. Prices might always different across stores from the same brand.
Sure, the US and Belgium have this in common: you can go shopping south of the border in a backwards country and save ton of money. /s
(and I don’t want to hear it, Dutchies)
Slightly different example:
Finish Dishwasher tablets in germany vs Belgium:
DM (DE): 9,95 EUR for 90 tablets; 0,13 EUR per table
Carrefour France (FR): 9,69 for 68 tablets… 0,14 per tablet
Colruyt (BE): 24,82 for 80 tables (pack looks the same of course); 0,31 per tablet.
Guess what I brought back from Germany the last time I was there…
ITT: people shocked pikachu that shopping in France is cheaper.
Also in this subreddit: it’s not worth the gasoline driving to France 🤬🤬🤬
Anyway I shall continue driving my 45 min one way to Auchan and pay 400-500 euro for what would cost me 800 euro in Belgium 😎
Btw, as we are with pesto subject, can anyone point me one, if any, that is good and available in a general grocery store? Or there is no way but make one.
That’s why now 30% of Belgians are doing their grocery shopping in France or Germany.
Olive oil is half cost in France. A pack of cereals, same price, but 1kg in France and 400g in Belgium..
I’m guessing you dont live close to the border with France and have never heard of Auchan.
Grown the fuck up ffs
Food in France is so much cheaper, especially raw food like meat. You can pay up to 4x less. They have better promos than BE too.
Other product are cheaper here then in France, you will always find that sort of things, if buy a mix of product the end result is the same. It is propably how the inflation index is calculated. Compagnies sell theze products in belgium cheaper as in france so our salarie dont rise but other product more expensive so the have the same amount of profit
I did a short search and it might be explained by the notice on the Delhaize website that this product is being *discontinued* in Belgium. It used to be €4,65 at Delhaize. You can still get it at Jumbo (€4,19), Colruyt (€4,35), Collect&Go (€4,79). Albert Heijn doesn’t have it either. The fact that less shops sell it, and that we actually have good taste and don’t buy Barilla pesto, makes that the volume of pesto sold in Belgium is smaller, so prices go up.
Both buyers are morons for being unable to make pesto by themselves.
In proxy delhaize this would be 5,80
I go grocery shopping in France (Auchan Roncq) and the price difference is crazy for litteraly everything (except Chimay beers).
Crazy to see so much Flemish families buying literally dozens of 6-pack water bottles.
Lmao, people here are giving people shit for not accepting this.
Carrefour is insanely expensive in Belgium. But when you walk around there 50 to 60 % shopping there are migrants.. Weird stuff, Guess they don’t have to count their money at the end of the month for some reason..
lol people in here saying you should drive more than an hour to a neighboring country.
The first site is looking at the drive (collect&go) prices. The second site is the price in the store. Collect&go is always more expensive.
So you are telling me that i have all of these fucking spaarkaarten and apps I’m scanning them in every Delhaize, ah, and lidl like complete nutjob and people In France have everything cheaper without any of this?
Man I am so tired all these bootlickers in the comments that are defending the multi billion businessess making record high profit margins while most of us struggle to have a decent life quality.
Price in Germany: 0.99€
Carrefour rarely jokes about pesto sauce. Just dont buy it.
Belgium is in fact a joke, yes
Pine nuts have become extremely expensive. So I get it. Not happy about it, but I get it.
Be happy, in Belgium you pay an “eerlijke prijs” for the product.
Some organizations in Belgium claim that the price for farmer products is still too low, and you don’t pay an honest price for the product. The price for farmer products have to increase!
The same for clothing. Paying a few euros for a T-shirt is stealing.
Non
This is why I just order most stuff from Germany or Netherlands. Belgium was overpriced even 20 years ago compared to the neighbouring countries and there is no chance I am going to support local traders for ripping everyone off.
If they want to complain, then complain to the 6 governments we have. Fuck this shit.

I don’t get it, is it the exact same product?
And probably like 1% basil

Or just go to a cheaper store in belgium? Also 16 €/kg at AH for example https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi63230/grand-italia-pesto-alla-genovese

Looks like a simular price compared to a simular product from ah: [https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi462046/puro-vegan-pesto-alla-genovese](https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi462046/puro-vegan-pesto-alla-genovese) I don’t see what’s supposed to be so shocking here.
Just make it yourself man 🙂
It takes as much time as opening the jar :p

Pesto from a jar is gross anyway.
