Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    In Portugal a whole raw chicken is around 3.5€, about 0.45% of a minimum wage.

        Apparently so. €760 per month is the minimum monthly wage in Portugal. Works out at less than €5 per hour if you assume 160 hours per month which seems very low. For reference, Ireland is €11.30. While cost of living is higher here you can still pick up a full uncooked chicken for around €5 depending on the shop.

        Local supermarket here does 4 chicken legs for €2.55.

          A whole chicken in the US costs between 12-16 dollars depending in weight. The price literally doubled over the last couple years

              About 5-6 pounds. Bigger ones get close to 7 pounds. So like 2-3.5 kg

              Before Covid they were 99 cents a pound, now it’s about 2.50/lb

                Thanks. Yeah that is a big assed chicken for Ireland tbh but it’s still more expensive overall.

                I feel like you guys have been badly burned by price gouging. I remember seeing a thing on Reddit about egg prices skyrocketing and they had barely budged here so I found it odd.

                  The price of most groceries have at least doubled. I can still get store brand eggs for about $1.50 a dozen but other brands are easily 3+ dollars now. Meanwhile supermarkets are posting record profits.

          This is correct.

          The kg of raw chicken here is currently at 2.34€ at the two biggest supermarket chains, a whole chicken is usually 1.5kg.
