Cost of living in France🇫🇷 .How much we spend each week at the supermarket 🛒Life in France VLOG

[@donnaplumridge9769]

The same in England as well. Moved to England almost 31years ago from the US. My friends and family thought I was very brave and silly. At first, I thought yes, but now, I love it here, met some lovely people, made good friends and it’s my home now. Sadly, the cost of everything has gone up, it looks like it’s the same everywhere in the world! The only thing that hasn’t been taxed is the air we breathe, but give them time! Probably charge us for a right to live! lol!

Expensive in Finland too. 600 euros per month for two persons is enough only for the basics, If you have a bottle of wine twice a week it is easily 150 € more. Beef, fish and chicken is atleast 50% more than two years ago.

​@@jgriffin282Absolutely not just happening in Western countries - a small package of green grapes in Japan will cost you about $9+, and eggs are even higher there than in the US. A Watermelon in Japan can be $20 or more, and I have seen beautiful strawberries that are individually wrapped for $2 EACH. I am from South Texas, and realize now we probably have pretty decent food prices, after watching grocery videos from Europe, Japan, Korea, and even Alaska. ❤

Having lived overseas, both Europe and Japan for many years, it is interesting to see how much cheaper some items are in certain countries than others. I just bought a leek last night here in Kansas. It was $5.99 per pound; $3.40 for one leek! That is the typical price throughout the year. The prices for the potatoes and tomatoes are slightly less than what I currently pay. The price for the onions is a lot less than what we are paying. The price for that butter is average for the better butter; not the cheap store brands which have lower fat and higher moisture content. That bottle of wine would be around $15 here but that does not surprise me. It is difficult to comment on the price of the beef as the quality and tenderness is an important part. But that price for the Sirloin steak is typical for where I am.

The food you find « packaged » is industrial. Better buy unpackaged food from the covered markets or open air markets

[@ME-hh9fb]

Pretty similar to prices here in South Texas, but we have access to lots of Mexican produce and foods, plus stores like Aldi, HMart, Daiso, and lots of Indian, Filipino, and all kinds of Asian markets. Gives us many choices - there are 7 grocery stores within a 5 minute walk or drive from where I live! Some are cheaper than others. Sirloin steak is quite a bit cheaper here, but ground beef is still stupidly expensive. I have stopped buying ground beef altogether - lean ground pork here is only $2.50 for a 1-lb package, I use it instead! ❤🌴🐊🌴

Many people rely on supermarkets for convenience, affordability, and accessibility. Traditional markets and specialty shops are wonderful, but they aren't feasible for everyone. It’s important to respect different choices and realities - each person does the best they can within their means and circumstances.
