IME that may be true for Bucharest or Prague, but definitely not Paris or London. Budget US grocers are much cheaper than nominal US prices so I don’t know why you’re comparing the cheapest in Europe to the average in the US (which, again, has a much less concentrated population leading to less competition). Average prices are higher but the floor in the US is significantly lower.
- mupuff1234 2y agoA good (albeit anecdotal) source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Grocerycost/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Grocerycost/ But I was just in Germany and was comparing prices to the HCOL coastal US city I live in.
- throwup238 2y agoEvery one of the posts I looked at priced in Euros looked like they were significantly more expensive than any shopping trip I ever made at SuperKing or Ranch 99 (in Los Angeles no less). I then went and sorted by top posts for the year and the only post that looks similar to the prices I actually pay was from a shopping trip in Algeria. Only a few posts of people paying €4 for a bunch of pastries and breads are impressive, the rest is just overpriced. That subreddit is not a reliable source of data or even anecdata.
