Full Supermarket Tour in Croatia (expensive?) 🇭🇷

[@danikaHR]

The dry fish is called "bakalar" in Croatia. It's cooked with potatoes, mainly on Christmas Eve or Good Friday, I think.

[@ararune3734]

You are correct.

[@AlexSDU]

Are they salted? In my country, most dried fish are salted. We usually fry. And eat with rice with other dishes with a pinch of the salted fish to add some of that salty taste to the food.

[@nisam237]

"Fresh bread" is the only thing considered bread here. "Sliced bread" we call toast, its not a brand, but just how we call it generally. Cuz its used exclusively for making toast sandwiches.

[@rolderic5659]

amazeing country, hope to go there one day

[@koromachbharat]

that dried fish is stock fish, its from norway. cod fish. , cooked mainly for Easter and Christmas. first it is soaked for three days, then the bones are cleaned and cooked, or it is made as a spread. very good. it's a specialty

[@SteroidKidney-xp3zy]

In South America cod fish is also imported from Norway , at half of the price displayed in Croatia.

[@RaduRadonys]

Really expensive compared to Romania... and the salaries are not much bigger. I guess adopting euros is not such a good thing after all.

[@audi0078]

Yeah everything is really expensive 😭 what are your salaries? I have 1400 E and i struggle a lot

You have to eat "Paski Sir" = "Pag Cheese" , one of the best cheese in the world! It's not only my opinion! It won the championship of cheese one year. I always bye it when I visit Croatia 😉 . The olive oil from Istria is also one of the best in the world.

I don't know where you're going in Croatia, but if you find San Servolo, it's a wonderful craft beer from Istria. It's a bottled beer, not in cans. I do know that people have purchased and posted photos of San Servalo beer in Dubrovnik as well.

[@gabbymust4671]

The prices of everything has just gone crazy post Covid and then after Croatia adapted the Euro. The Kuna era was much more affordable.

[@ArchieArpeggio]

Same thing happened in Finland 2002 when we switched our markka to euro. One euro were about six markka. Potatoes costed about 0,70 mk and after the switch the prices were about 0,60 € so it costed about five times more than before. And yes, world prices for groceries have gone crazy after russians started to attack in Ukraine.

[@ararune3734]

@@ArchieArpeggio It was about the same here, $1 was about 6 HRK and 1€ was about 7 HRK, man everything is so expensive now

[@debscatena]

Dry fish is likely cod, either from Norway or Newfoundland, Canada

[@user-xj3ve7wt8k]

Dried fish is Bakalar ( cod ).

[@tapio_m6861]

Right now in Finland my magic number for meat is 15€/kg. Anything above that and I consider that to be expensive. That includes poultry, beef and cold cuts. Below 12€/kg is cheap and anything between those is mediocre. Iirc, four years ago that number for me was about 12€/kg, and anything below 9€/kg was cheap. With fish, the numbers are 15€/kg and 20€/kg.

[@europljanin9080]

meat is expensive here in Croatia, meat that is of good quality. I wouldn't even offer this meat from commercial chains to a dog. lamb in a butcher's shop is 17e per kilogram, veal 15e, veal sniceli 20e, so if you want quality, you will pay dearly in Croatia

[@plonkerification]

stay safe, vaccinate and stay in lockdown... then open everything up. INFLATION... fuckers

[@Equal-k7q]

Looks like best place to visit if the price is right Great content

[@dangovorcin]

Dried fish "bakalar" (grey code) used to come from Grand Banks (Canada) before Canada chased out Portugese fishermen. When comparing prices, try to compare wages. Most retired people have couple of hundred dollars a month and most workers get less than thousand euros.

[@derbigpr500]

Nobody uses sliced bread here, I don't even consider that bread, it's too bad. Even the fresh bread in supermarkets is bad compared to bread in bakeries, which are everywhere and often work 24 hours a day, so theres no reason to not buy fresh bread.

[@slavsquench7693]

in Norway we hammer the dry "bakalar" and eat it as a snack.

[@Zarniwooper]

Funny how the prices are different compared to Finland, fresh vegetables and meat are much more expensive, but seems like things like chips and eggs are much more affordable here in Finland.

[@Thoreaue]

There was a controversy with one local egg producer, one of the largest in Croatia, they had to kill all of their chicken (salmonella) and after that price of eggs skyrocketed, but its slowly coming down again

[@MrxOnurb]

Yes Nokia is keeping the prices up what a hell happened with 3310?

it is not cheap for local population that has no academic education but if you have higher education and a decent careere food is actually pretty affordable, fresh meat and fish can be expensive though, as you saw cheese is affordable too and incredible, (težački) is like 17E and its amazing

[@mattkop5755]

Sea coast is more expensive then inland parts and Dubrovnik is expensive on another level also may is the best month when the sea is warmish but not as expensive as during tourist season starting June also post season in late September gets more affordable and sea can stay warm some years.

[@elisabethandersson7503]

I have that squeeze ajvar in my fridge in Sweden ... its newly arrived here

[@ZnakerFIN]

Quick Google told me that VAT (Value Added Tax) for foodstuffs in Croatia is 13%. In Finland it's 14%. The tax is already added to the prices so people don't need to count it.

Prices are horrible, and still rising every single month. We are truly having problems each months when you have to buy groceries this expensive. Wages are still not adapted to the inflation and big chunk of people has moved to the lower part on the income scale. It is really difficult for us. But at least for tourists from certain countries it is still cheap

yes, it's cheaper. But, The Finlands make around 7.000 euros a month, and Croatians 850 euros on average a month. That means that the price for everything shoul be 8 or 9 times cheaper. On other hand, our housing and gas and electricity is the same as in Finland. So no, it is not better priced, most people can't afford food anymore and that's the reason why almost milion people left Croatia in the last 10 years. Thank God you don't live here so you don't have to deal with the sistem and nepotism and level of corruption (law, courts, hospitals, etc., you name it - we have it), because you will run away screaming. But, on the other hand, it's pretty. Too expensive as well, and you can get all that in Albania, Montenegro or Malta for less.
