- noelsusman 4y agoThanks, probably not Brexit related then.
- hef19898 4y agoLast year we spent two weeks in Iceland. I do remember, 10+ years ago, paying the same for 2 (two!) onions as you did for 1kg in Germany over there. Last year, we were not shocked at all, actually we paid less then we did in Germany, not much but still. Turned out Icelands grocery prices were roughly on par with France, and a tad lower than Germany at the time. So, German groccery prices did a lot of catching up since at least a hear. Slow enough so that you don't realize unless you are living on tight budget. That being said, since salaries in Germany tend to be higher than in France, the average German consumer is still a bit better off (ignoring housing or rent, and using a broad brush here). The war im Ukraine did caise all kinds of issues, as did Covid. All ghinhs considered so, the developed world did reasonably well so far so. If food prices increaseore so, governments will have to intervene, as lower income families will have a hard time between increased energy and food prices.
- mharig 4y agoJust two small corrections: neither Covid19 nor the war caused the effects, it were the measures that the stupid monkey horde took.
