    Are you in Canada or the US? I moved from Canada (Toronto) to Germany, and it’s night and day how much less I spend on groceries.

    I went from shopping at No Frills in Canda to Lidl/Aldi in Germany, and I spend half as much as I used to. At least in Canada, it’s really disappointing to see how Loblaws has managed to get away with so much price gouging.

        See if you have an Aldi near you. They are the cheapest grocery store I’ve been to in the US. I cook/prep 3 meals a day for only ~$40/week.

      I just got back from vacation there and yeah groceries in Germany are like half price of Canada. And salaries are higher too.

      Yes please all come here and ruin the prices further /s

      Prices increased over the last year or so justified by energy prices but in reality it is the profit margins of the supermarkets. Thanks for the inflation Aldi!

      Yep part of why I’m moving to Germany next year is the cost of living is so much more reasonable. Groceries costed me just around $25/wk when I was studying abroad. Can’t beat that.
