Uh, what? Have you been to the United States before? Everything, and I mean everything is incredibly cheap here. I'm just like an average dev in flyover country and I max out my retirement savings, bought a house, and can go buy a BMW and fill it up with <$2.00/gal gasoline, oh and that's just on my income. Doesn't include spouse. And after I fill up with gas I can go to an average grocery store that is far larger than just about anything I've seen in all my European travels and buy like 50 avocados for $0.89/ea, then go buy a bottle of Grey Goose for $30, pour it out, then buy another one and pretend I'm in Europe paying Europe prices for things.
- pedrosorio 9y ago"I can go to an average grocery store that is far larger than just about anything I've seen in all my European travels" How is this relevant?
- rockinghigh 9y agoIt's also not true. Carrefour and Auchan stores in France can be the same size as the big Walmart stores in the US.
- computereye 9y agoI agree. In addition, food quality is miles ahead
- muninn_ 9y agoNo it's not. Plus the selection in American grocery stores is far superior.
- muninn_ 9y agoRight, which is why I said average. Average American grocery stores are nearby and sell a gigantic amount of food. And the quality is exactly the same or better.
- muninn_ 9y agoBecause it's ease of access to a large variety of inexpensive food.
