- ben_w 2y agoIn the US, I could believe that from what I've seen in the shops when visiting as a tourist. In the UK (where I grew up) and Germany (where I live), you should be able to get the recommended 5-a-day for less than £/€ 2 per day if you need to keep costs down, and £/€ 8/day if you're being lazy and getting fairly fancy stuff. Sure, the income here is lower than in the USA, but even at the higher end that's not so much as to make that "significant". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_A_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_A_Day
