I can't identify all the items in that picture, but I guess it would cost about the same here in Brazil.
Europe really is the best place to live on Earth. You guys earn 5x to 10x more than we do, and everything costs the same or is even cheaper in some cases.
>This shit costs like 20€uropoors
In Romania maybe.
In Norway the eggs and bacon alone would be 20€
I doubt any of those items individually would be less than 5 here except the tomatoes and possibly the bread. If the Syrup is real maple it's probably also 15-20 on it's own. To be fair I'm not familiar with all the brands/products, but 20€ for all of it is a pipe dream
this is over 60 bucks in the states now, fruit is more expensive than meat that's for sure. Idk what '''syrup''' is, but honey is like 30.00 for a full bottle.
i can't believe i wasted my time on this retarded post but i did a quick search on walmart and used cheap brands unless it would mean a drop in quality. it's about $45. does your mom still do grocery shopping for you?
Walmart prices vary by state. I posted the cart, I left out the jar of something the spinach and that red box cause idk wtf that is but assuming 2-3 per piece thats still only 30-35.
[...]
this is 20-30 bucks max in most of the country do you guys only shop at whole foods in LA and NYC or something?
You guys are either fucking retards, don’t live in America or live in the poorest of poorest shitholes in the country. I live in an average Midwest town and this would easily be $50+ at every single grocery store regardless of the exact deal or store
Bacon is probably $15-20 alone, pasta sauce $5-7, bread is probably $5 a loaf. The groceries can easily cost $60+ if they bought nothing on sale which most zoomers don't now a days.
My bad the bacon is $12, and the turkey slices looks like they're 16 oz's which goes for $10 a box. That picture can easily go for the $85 if they nothing on sale like I said earlier.
eating carbvs when you're hungry is like taking a shower when you smell. It will only make it better at that moment then youll soon feel or smell as bad as you did before. The best food in his case would be soups with homemade bone broth
>Go to the butcher >Get 20kg of beef trimmings for fuck all >Coat in salt and roast, best food of your life, 4x more energy dense than any other food. Essentially free.
Is there anything more retarded than this shit? Some vague picture of different groceries that could be bought from any store, anywhere within a country where prices can vary dramatically depending on where you are and for multiple reasons.
a report game out that said millennials spend more on discretionary shit, both as a total and percent of income and inflation adjusted etc., then any generation before
a big part is living in expensive shithole cities but its also them being dumb as fuck and wasting money on door dash, weed, and funko pops
>this is what $85 of groceries look like but I will call you a nazi chud if you mention the people who are to blame for this and therefor I won't do anything to stop the issue
>maple syrup
it's not real maple syrup. it's high fructose corn syrup with brown coloring. real maple syrup costs 5-6 times as much per unit volume. eating real food these days is extremely expensive.
This. It's absurd how inflation has caused all these companies to essentially create fake food that they can label the same names as real food that is filled with stuff that is in the same category as medical waste. Cheese isn't cheese anymore, peanut butter isn't peanut butter, it's all fucking insane.
>think the average burger is capable of cooking
next you are going to tell me that you can grow your own veggies with little to no work that are actually food unlike the goyslop you can buy in ~~*supermarkets*~~. And after that you are going to tell me that you can own some chickens. really anon you are going to be that way anon?
I counted 14 items so average cost $6, I could believe it if he went to Whole Foods or something, and he’s also not buying any generic brand shit which makes everything at least 2x as expensive. If he went to Aldi or bought store brands it would be $40.
Most of those items probably do cost $5-8 each. That bread, the tubs of lunch meat, 18 eggs, a slab of fancy bacon, a fancy tub of cherries(?). All costs about $6 each at a Kroger's (who are usually expensive anyway)
Yeah korger is a rip off. These people go to over priced places then cry about how they arent getting that much for their dollar.
Kroger is reasonable everywhere I've lived provided you shop based around the weekly specials. Only things I don't get from there are lettuce/bananas since they're cheaper at costco and sometimes french bread is put on a steep clearance discount at wally world but that's about it. Once in a blue moon the "farmers market" will be cheaper like they used to be but they've caught on and jacked up the prices to match Kroger nowadays
This would cost $85 AUD in Australia which is about $50 USD.
What the fuck happened to you guys? We used to be the most expensive country on the planet when it came to everything. Now the only thing we have the most expensive of is housing. Americans are you okay?
we have a mysterious shadow-government running everything now. They'll probably put some DNC shill Vivek into office next. It's grim. They don't even want to pretend we have a democracy now. It will never be the same.

>U-UH IT'S $20-30 YOU JUST NEED TO EAT HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP BREAD
i've had walmart brand wheat bread and "higher end" whole grain wheat bread like pepperidge farm. they aren't comparable. walmart brand tastes like absolute shit, basically white bread that's colored brown.
(i realize that in all likelihood i'm arguing with the archetypal rail thin autistic retard who eats the same food every day for the past 25 years and is suffering from multiple vitamin deficiencies.)
Niggas out here just completely ignoring the actual nutrition facts. Walmart wheat bread is legit healthier than most of the bigger brands, has the least added sugar. Even the most expensive and what most people call the best, daves killer bread, only has the same amount of sugar as the walmart wheat. Niggas are getting scammed and cannot accept it.

Wheat bread is terrible for you, is full of lectins that fuck your shit up. Homemade sourdough or fuck off.
any burger eating bread regularly should just make it from flour. flour still costs nothing. you are being charged a lazy nagger tax when you buy bread.
These kind of posts have to be trolls 99% of the time. >premade lasagna >dececco pasta >gigantic maple syrup >sugar bread (2 packs???) >some special, probably expensive as fuck mayo next to a pack of 40 eggs >"NOOOO WHY CANT I BUY THIS FOR 20 DOLLARS!!!!"
just no way its real
Shit son I live in the dystopia of Canada and I spent $80 on groceries last friday and got way more than that. >Pallet of eggs >pound of butter >2 sides of bacon since it was on sale >1kg of sausages >turkey lunchmeat >kaiser rolls >4L diet coke >3 heads of broccoli >2 Sweet peppers >bag of Spinach >block of fancy cheddar >jar of pickles >3 zucchinis >2 tomatoes >4L milk >6 cans of soup
If I wanted luxury soup I'd wait until whole chickens are one sale and make them from scratch, I bought 3 for $3 cans of vegetable soup so I could have a side to my turkey sandwiches.
Fine? Most people who fuck themselves up dump loads of salt on everything they eat not one high sodium soup plus two twists of a grinder on the vegetables with dinner.
In other words, normalfag redditors are just now finally discovering that inflation is real and that the economy is in the shitter despite MSNBC's countless propaganda about muh heckin Bidenomics.
>bacon

$6 >fake syrup
$4 >2x loaves of bread
$5 >Rao's sauce
Like $7 this shit is insane >Bagged... lettuce?
$3 >red wine vinegar
$4 >Cherry tomatoes
$4
So even shopping at Kroger which is a ripoff now and with what he took I see like $50-60 at max. Has anyone on reddit ever told the truth though?
This is at least $50 or $60. I don't know what some of those brands cost though, and he might live in an area where some of those basic items are twice the cost. I'd buy that he paid $85 for all of that.
That said, it's why I'm growing a garden as a serious undertaking next year. I'm not going to be a hostage to grocery store inflation. I'll sell some excess produce to pay for my fertilizer and water costs I suppose, but past that I'm going to try to eat as much only out of my garden as possible, and store produce to see me through the winter as well. Should cut a hundred dollars or so off of my weekly grocery bills.
It's Kroger which is part of the largest grocery store chain in America but Kroger itself is largely focused in the cheaper zones of America so the prices are very likely close to what I posted. Kroger is actually a bit of a ripoff though because I can get much better produce from a local place or even Whole Foods for the same prices now. Kroger used to be decent, it's a shame. They got extremely greedy during COVID and the prices will never go back down.
>I'll just spend 250 hours of my labor, plus water, plus fertilizer, to grow all my own vegetables every year
>$100 in vegetables per week
Jesus Christ you better have a family of 4 to spend that much. There's a reason our food production system is only remotely sustainable with slave- err I mean immigrant labor.
>250 hours of my labor >250 hours >for a garden >I just have to till the soil one, plant once, and water it occasionally as a household chore that takes less effort than doing the dishes and the laundry >then it's just picking the food as it comes in, which takes less time than a trip to the grocery store >anon is convinced that this is is some herculean task
Holy fucking shit what world do you people live in that the idea of growing your own vegetables is excessive labor?
>weeds don't exist
Remember to wear kneepads when the time comes, otherwise you'll pay for it in hospital bills eventually. >I-I-I'll just use herbicide!
Enjoy the costly poison. >I'll just prep the beds to with xyz to minimize weed growth!
More money spent in exchange for less work over time. If you have a garden large enough to feed one person for a full year (15x15 ft), prepare for most of your garden-tending to actually be weeding.
Where the fuck does this person even live? I could buy this right now for $30-35 WITH TAX at my local grocery store (israeliteel on southport/grace in chicago) -- and much cheaper in the burbs
yalls grocery logic is dumb af. i literally only buy the great value chicken breast from walmart, the great value beef patty, the great value eggs (36), great value maple sausage patties (28oz), 12oz frozen great value spinach, 32oz great value frozen broccoli, 12 5oz cans of great value chunk salmon, 1 loaf of sliced 100% whole wheat bread, some kiwis, and whatever fruit is on sale. if its repackaged or otherwise looks like bullshit my brain avoids it like rotting meat
Unsurprising that this is coming from one of the whiny retards over at leddit. This is a picture of someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves; you can get double the food for that amount even in high COL areas if you shop at the asian or hispanic grocery stores.
I think a large part of the issue is actually the grocers trying to account for theft.
Ordering food online has gotten cheaper than buying it in the store at least where I live.
My shitty company is trying to pretend there is no inflation. I hate being powerless to billionaire board members siphoning funds to their cronies. HR told me position non-negotiable, get back to work wagie.
I don't recognize much of what's in picrel, but would never buy fake syrup. I buy Canadian maple syrup, and yes it's ~$12 a pint, but it'll last me a whole year. Astounded by the price of bacon the last time I went shopping, so just went dietarily semetic this month. Scored a whole chicken for eight bucks. On the small side, but the bones will make me a few servings of soup. Double the fun being a bachelor I guess.
This shit costs like 20€uropoors
even cheaper if you buy local brands.
I can't identify all the items in that picture, but I guess it would cost about the same here in Brazil.
Europe really is the best place to live on Earth. You guys earn 5x to 10x more than we do, and everything costs the same or is even cheaper in some cases.
don't move to France, huebro. That doesn't apply to them. Although you can say that's not Europe but Africa.
just come to Europe, we always need more deliveroo drivers
>This shit costs like 20€uropoors

>If the Syrup is real maple
It looks like fake syrup, probably Aunt Jemima's brand
anything you don't get straight from a sugar shack in Canada is fake syrup
More like around €40
closer to 30-40 europoors in france. there's a lot of goysauces in there, that stuff gets expensive fast
>2x white bread
>cola syrop
kek americans
it clearly says wheat bread
American wheat bread is still pretty much white bread
why are you such a nasty person
It's actually closer to cake than bread.
>>cola syrop
That's maple, you retarded Germoid
Wrong on both accounts.
Inflation sucks, but this is just being retarded for reddit points
What a fucking lie. Lmao.
That costs like 30 bucks tops. I’m sure his next comment was his cashapp ID.
Yeah nah that's about 60 bucks no cap
On god?
I was thinking about 50-60 if you are at a name brand store and shopping semi frugal. Bacon on sale is like 8$ a lb at Safeway
Git trippin!
this is over 60 bucks in the states now, fruit is more expensive than meat that's for sure. Idk what '''syrup''' is, but honey is like 30.00 for a full bottle.

This is about $62 in ho dunk USA
Bacon is probably $15-20 alone, pasta sauce $5-7, bread is probably $5 a loaf. The groceries can easily cost $60+ if they bought nothing on sale which most zoomers don't now a days.
My bad the bacon is $12, and the turkey slices looks like they're 16 oz's which goes for $10 a box. That picture can easily go for the $85 if they nothing on sale like I said earlier.
AUD or NZD? Even then, this is bullshit.
The cost of living crisis stems from the price of accommodation, not bills or groceries.
>"I have to live on a budget!"
>no rice or pasta
Or instant oats. I just bought a fucking bucket of that for under five bucks.
I mean he does have pasta (DeLecco brand)
eating carbvs when you're hungry is like taking a shower when you smell. It will only make it better at that moment then youll soon feel or smell as bad as you did before. The best food in his case would be soups with homemade bone broth
So what I'm getting at is that you don't shower?
Just get ground beef or shanks if you can cook, they’re pretty cheap.
shut the fuck up and take a bath indian

no beans no rice no chicken -> FUCK OFF

Congrats on your bastard you degenerate
im a bastard too so idgaf seether
Yeah, that’s why you have a baby momma have to steal from Walmart.
oh your time will come wagie!
that would 30€ more or less in france
he must shop in expensive areas or little shops
i refuse to believe these are regular prices for americans

Kroger is a good 20-50% more expensive than Walmart on average.

it's indeed about 60 bucks but you're forgetting the tip and donation to Ukraine
>nightmare
Fucking right.
I hope they keep the money printers printing.
Or you know you guys could be pirates if this is nightmare mode to you fuckers.
Lmao, imagine complaining about this being nightmare mode.
It can get so so so so much worse my dude.
> It will get so so so so much worse very soon my dude.
FTFY
Where the fuck does this person even live? I could buy this right now for $30-35 WITH TAX at my local grocery store (israeliteel on southport/grace in chicago) -- and much cheaper in the burbs
>all on brand
>nothing store brand
fucking queer would've saved like $25 just by buying off brand shit
>Fancy bullshit bread
>name brand fancy bacon
>huge ass box of eggs
Bet that bag of produce is some organic grown bullshit lettuce that costs three times as much as the regular fucking lettuce
Just buy normal food you queers
wtf really? i would've expected at least 150 i feel like i just stepped into bizarro world
Not true, fake news, shut the fuck up, stop posting this trash you gargantuan homosexual, this is $150.00 and keeps me fed an entire month
holy fuck that's a ton of food i think i've been getting ripped off
yalls grocery logic is dumb af. i literally only buy the great value chicken breast from walmart, the great value beef patty, the great value eggs (36), great value maple sausage patties (28oz), 12oz frozen great value spinach, 32oz great value frozen broccoli, 12 5oz cans of great value chunk salmon, 1 loaf of sliced 100% whole wheat bread, some kiwis, and whatever fruit is on sale. if its repackaged or otherwise looks like bullshit my brain avoids it like rotting meat
Imagine not living off Costco rotisserie chicken lmao
Unsurprising that this is coming from one of the whiny retards over at leddit. This is a picture of someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves; you can get double the food for that amount even in high COL areas if you shop at the asian or hispanic grocery stores.
Why don't Americans like buying anything that isn't in a prepackaged bag?
How else am i supposed to get my microplastics?
double digits inflation owld probably cause a revolution
american wagies are less obedient than europeans

any other suggestions?
Milk
Peas, beanpods, okra, lentils. Where I live, cheese, milk, and leben are subsidized so I buy those as well.
Just shop at aldi
I think a large part of the issue is actually the grocers trying to account for theft.
Ordering food online has gotten cheaper than buying it in the store at least where I live.
>firm didn't raise salary at all last year
>inflation means I'm making like 15% less
My shitty company is trying to pretend there is no inflation. I hate being powerless to billionaire board members siphoning funds to their cronies. HR told me position non-negotiable, get back to work wagie.
What disguting Goyplants
I don't recognize much of what's in picrel, but would never buy fake syrup. I buy Canadian maple syrup, and yes it's ~$12 a pint, but it'll last me a whole year. Astounded by the price of bacon the last time I went shopping, so just went dietarily semetic this month. Scored a whole chicken for eight bucks. On the small side, but the bones will make me a few servings of soup. Double the fun being a bachelor I guess.
