I think it's mostly an American thing, as I hear it a lot coming from there. Never heard anyone in Europe saying regular fresh fruit and vegetables is out of their budget. I've heard American tourists exclaim surprise when they visit normal supermarkets here, things like "Oh! It's like a Wholefoods, but cheap!".
- ben_w 2y agoIndeed. In reverse, when I (British living in Berlin) have visited the US, the fresh fruit and veg section of the cheaper American supermarkets is priced like fancy expensive organic supermarkets here. Whole Foods (and the co-op in one of the towns I visited) is priced like Harrods, KaDeWe, or Galeries Lafayette: • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrods • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufhaus_des_Westens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufhaus_des_Westens • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeries_Lafayette https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeries_Lafayette
