      With todays price…you’re selling at a loss dude.

      In my mind a bottle was still like 1,50, turns out those bastards are already at twice that over here.

          I could’ve expected that, my wife takes zoo trips in Germany with a coworker and they also get loads of grocery’s.

          Just last weekend she brought a bunch of monster energy, 77 cents a piece. I pay €2,50 for a single can over here.

          She also bought kraken rum and a bottle of aberfeldy whiskey for me which were roughly €7 cheaper each.

          When i was 16 i worked at Albert Heijn and they stopped selling coca cola because the distributor wanted to make them €1,35 compared to the current €1,15. Albert Heijn said “nope, stop or we will stop selling”. The shelves were empty for a couple weeks and then miraculously filled with coca cola for €1,35 and not a word was spoken about it.

          But i stumbled on a mini documentary on yt about German grocery stores (specifically the huge ones apparently) and how they are losing money. So you might end up paying a similar price as us some time in the near future.

            Could you maybe try to find that documentary/video essay? That sounds really interesting

            Also prices already went up dramatically since 2020. I used to only pay around 1€ for a bag of chips. Now it’s double that

            2,50€ for a single can of Monster Energy is almost service area level pricing.

      Cocain doesn’t really cause cancer does it? It just destroys your heart and nostril. And your heart is resistant to cancer (since it won’t regenerate)

      Also please start posting memes there. I’m running out of good memes to post there and don’t want this community to die
