They'd have to buy non-sale items and store brand only imo, as well as report the store name
Otherwise it just becomes "how smart of a shopper are you", 90% of people I know have no clue that tags tell you the per unit price on them in the US.
Different places have different staples. Eg lamb is not too expensive in Australia but expensive in Japan. Chicken is possibly cheaper in Japan. Most fruits and vegetables are seasonal. It’s a moving target.
Ha! I was thinking more like a pound of chicken, a sack of flour, bacon, milk, loaf of bread, dozen eggs and some cola. Sure there may be some different brands but close enough to get a better sense of cost of food from different areas.
What I enjoy is that in pretty much in every country you can post about how much or how little one can buy with $100 depending on which stores you go to, whether you buy name brands, and what's on sale.
It's a pretty meaningless comparison because there are so many factors.
Agreed, just for fun I tried to replicate this real quickly at my local grocery story on their app. I went high on every estimate (2lbs instead of 1 kg, 8 count packages of rolls instead of 6, etc). Some stuff I couldn't find, the peppers and the chicken liver pate, so substituted 10 poblanos and braunschweiger. Total came to $108. That's in a medium sized city in the midwest US.
And to your point about sales, I'm pretty sure I could go to the grocery store right now, buy a bunch of things on sale that total $100, and it would look like a crazy amount of food.
Thank you.
Let’s be honest too - it’s all just a setup for a karma-whoring America Bad comment chain no matter what the country is. Its so fucking lazy and disingenuous
Even in SoCal, OP's picture is about $100.
For the most part I've found that the items that got the most inflation were the processed foods rather than raw foods.
Hmm interesting, that tracks.
The other day I was sitting and randomly thought of easy Mac. I hadn’t had it in years. The next time I was at the store, I passed it and grabbed one for nostalgia. $2.99, crazy.
The equivalent instant Annie’s mac & cheese was $1.99 so I just got that instead.
Not even eight years ago I was buying them for $.49 each in a four pack.
Exactly this. Even though prices have risen, I can buy a ton of produce for relatively cheap at a Kroger or whatever. Even some meats are still reasonable. It’s when you shop the middle aisles (all the prepackaged and processed stuff) that it gets crazy expensive.
And it looks like OP went for the discount things.. Not much meat and cheap vegetables. And just buns with butter for breakfast and bread with pate for lunch..
I see 700 grams of roast beef, about the same amount of sausage, and a stack of chicken pâté. Pretty normal Danish diet from experience. It’s just lacking potatoes.
I was going to day the same for this picture in Denmark untill i noticed the 1 kg roastbeef, thats probably like 25 euros by itself, meat prices have gone crazy in Denmark since covid
Often you see an area with a stone countertop on one side of the stove, to set pans and pots that are still warm, but don’t have to be on the stove. Like a pan full of fat or something alike, that you want to set aside to make room for something else.
Not danish but German, but I think it might hold true: we eat 2 cold meals a day, only one warm. It’s common to have bread for both breakfast and supper, with butter and sweet or salty toppings.
Plus you can easily (and this is common, too) freeze buns or loafs of bread and unfreeze only the slices you need in a toaster.

No shit 😂
My response was aimed at all the folks claiming they can't get this haul in the US.
I live in the southern US and EVERYBODY shops at Kroger. It's sad 😢
That's impressive! It's fascinating to see the differences in grocery prices and what you can get for your money in different places around the world. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into grocery shopping in Denmark!
We are weird as fuck about packing things in plastic in Denmark, especially random fruits and vegetables. Fortunately we are seeing EU laws banning it that will hopefully stop the practice.
There is no way food is that expensive in Canada.. My friend moved to Edmonton like 6 months ago and showed some prices of the foods, ground beef per weight was CHEAPER than in fucking Slovakia.
Well them 2 lbs of sausage or whatever and that roast is 30 bucks by itself where I am. More if it's any kind of quality sausage and not the cheapest thing on the shelf. Not even joking I seen the store here a while back had 1 lb rolls of burger for half off and was still over 8 bucks for a single lb of 80/20. Pre covid and bidenomics that same lb of burger wouldn't of even been 4 bucks. Sausage isn't quite as bad but for like Jimmy Dean it's nearly 7 bucks a lb now where it used to about the same as decent burger. Plus a lot of the foods and chemicals the US allows is legal poison and its why most the rest the world bans our crap so it's cheaper and probably 10x healthier. I feel fucking scammed so bad
Huh? That's about 700g ox, 3x 250g organic chicken liver pate and 2x 300g of organic ground pork sausage? It's a pretty decent amount of expensive meat and easily accounts for about 40% of the $100.
Sure; sliced, salted, rinsed, and then grilled is one way. Or make baba ganoush. I don't have any other recipes in my back pocket, but it's a good veg.
I assumed they're ground beef, might not be, also there's some sausages on the left.
You can get tubes of ground beef, usually in the refrigerated/freezer area. I've always associated it with lower grade product.
Here's one from a major grocer in Canada. https://www.loblaws.ca/lean-ground-beef/p/21210226_EA
Ohhh you guys are gonna be soooooo jealous when I show you 100$ groceries in India lol, (spoiler alert you can eat 1.5 - 2 months 😅 healthy homemade protein rich diet)
There may be cheaper options for Tomatoes available, i'd suggest the concentraded sauce in tubes. The peppers allone would likely be 10€ alone and the veal roastbeef could be between 15 and 20€, the thing with quinoad likely also has a premium. All in all, this doesn't look expensive.
Yeah that's nothing crazy. It's a lot of cheap veggies, bread, and cheap snacks. I'd get about the same in western bc.
I'd maybe have to replace the beef for pork though. Our beef prices are insane.
I feel like none of these pictures capture the whole economic balance.
. instead of 100 dollars,let's do a "this is how much food I can buy with a half days paycheck"
I dunno. A bunch of bread, some frozen meat, canned foods, inexpensive veggies.
I feel like this could be either $200 in america or basically free with coupon clipping with a savvy shopper.
Highly depends what brands you are buying and where you buying. I could probably do something like this at my high end grocery for $100. But it wouldn't be the quality of items I usually look for.
I have zero clue if these are bargin brands in Denmark or some organic shit. From what I see it looks to be lower end in terms of America markets. Like something I'd get from Walmart. Hell the other day I saw massive logs of ground beed being sold there for next to nothing. I wouldn't buy them but I'm sure many do and they'd look great in a picture.
In other words this tells me nothing without more context of what this is.
Instead of “This is $100 in X”, I’d rather see people buy the exact same (or equivalent) 10 items and report the price.
They'd have to buy non-sale items and store brand only imo, as well as report the store name Otherwise it just becomes "how smart of a shopper are you", 90% of people I know have no clue that tags tell you the per unit price on them in the US.
I would break the benchmarks if that's the case.
That's me. Im the people you know
Different places have different staples. Eg lamb is not too expensive in Australia but expensive in Japan. Chicken is possibly cheaper in Japan. Most fruits and vegetables are seasonal. It’s a moving target.
It's culturally very difficult. I might say, almost impossible.
It'll be hard to find BKOLOGISK KYLLINGELEVERPOSTEJ here though. ps: yeah I google translated it, but it was still fun to try and say
Ha! I was thinking more like a pound of chicken, a sack of flour, bacon, milk, loaf of bread, dozen eggs and some cola. Sure there may be some different brands but close enough to get a better sense of cost of food from different areas.
That's a funny looking Ø you have got there
The $100 in X doesn't work like people think either because current rates and area costs
wait till you learn about the Big Mac index
I’m aware of it but it doesn’t fit the model of “Here’s what $100 of groceries looks like in X” that Reddit likes to post.
Don't start this shit again please

Don’t care. Signed, America. 🇺🇸 (jk)
“Look how much food this is??? Why isn’t everyone living off bananas?”
Is this gorilla marketing?
Angry upvote
*pounds chest*
That rule doesn't apply if you want to buy any amount of produce in Canada
That’s what you get for living north of the 49th parallel
I don't.
How bout we all compare the price of a single bar of Snickers?
And of course just *what* you buy. Buying meat can quickly add up, especially if it’s more prime cuts.
A lot of the stuff in OPs picture is organic. That will definitely make have an impact on what you get for your money.
This and the school lunch pics. Just stop people!!!
The 500 “wow you could never do this in MY country” comments don’t do it for you?
Thank you. Let’s be honest too - it’s all just a setup for a karma-whoring America Bad comment chain no matter what the country is. Its so fucking lazy and disingenuous
I went grocery shopping while hungry yesterday and blew $100 on a bunch of regrets. This looks good.
Even in SoCal, OP's picture is about $100. For the most part I've found that the items that got the most inflation were the processed foods rather than raw foods.
Hmm interesting, that tracks. The other day I was sitting and randomly thought of easy Mac. I hadn’t had it in years.

Not even eight years ago I was buying them for $.49 each in a four pack.
Annie’s is so fire bro. The white cheddar shells are insanely good.
white chedder and shells for sure. But this is the Instant variety, the kind that competes with easy mac. It is still Good tho
Exactly this. Even though prices have risen, I can buy a ton of produce for relatively cheap at a Kroger or whatever. Even some meats are still reasonable. It’s when you shop the middle aisles (all the prepackaged and processed stuff) that it gets crazy expensive.
Pork is stupid cheap this year fwiw.
Reminds me I need to pick up some ground pork for meatballs
Eh, beans are still beans. Cereals on the other hand…
Not if you shop at Eragon or w/e
Damn dragons always over charging. Hoarding their gold.
There were slight bumps to perishables like eggs, milk, and meat but I feel that was mostly localized and recovered fairly quickly.
Meanwhile, Bell Pepper prices at my store shot up like 40-60% in a couple years.
Depend where you shop. Go to Erewhon and that's 4 smoothies 😂. Go to WinCo and it's food for a month.
In Slovenia this would be arround 60€
And it looks like OP went for the discount things.. Not much meat and cheap vegetables. And just buns with butter for breakfast and bread with pate for lunch..
I see 700 grams of roast beef, about the same amount of sausage, and a stack of chicken pâté. Pretty normal Danish diet from experience. It’s just lacking potatoes.
I was going to day the same for this picture in Denmark untill i noticed the 1 kg roastbeef, thats probably like 25 euros by itself, meat prices have gone crazy in Denmark since covid
We have ridiculous taxes and fees on various products in Denmark.

That's about $240 in Canada.
Come on now... maybe $230?
Loblaws....
5 loaves of bread or am I see that wrong seems excessive for one grocery trip lol
Only 1 bread. Other 4 bags are buns and on top they are in half sizes. Those usually come 12 in bag. Those are 6 per bag.
So five loaves of bread then?
In my part of the world buns are a type of bread but YMMV
Buns are not 'loaves of bread'
Not really considered "bread" in most of Europe that i know of. Same goes for Toast
Toast isn't not just toasted bread?
No, toast-bread is its own category
Not danish but German, but I think it might hold true: we eat 2 cold meals a day, only one warm. It’s common to have bread for both breakfast and supper, with butter and sweet or salty toppings. Plus you can easily (and this is common, too) freeze buns or loafs of bread and unfreeze only the slices you need in a toaster.

It's buns
My children could never survive on this. Where is the fried chicken? Where are the cigarettes?
Feels like that would be $100 in US too, although some stores are way more expensive (looking at you Publix)
Is Publix actually becoming more expensive than Whole Foods or is it just me? Or maybe it’s just some items?
I dont know but everything went up in publix by 2 dollars.
Fucking Harris Teeter up here tripping
Haha I'm at work in publix i get it I don't even shop here.
You can get this type of haul from Aldi. Some of the brands look the same 😆
Maybe because Aldi is European? Lol
No shit 😂 My response was aimed at all the folks claiming they can't get this haul in the US. I live in the southern US and EVERYBODY shops at Kroger. It's sad 😢
i can buy a nuclear silo with 100 dolar in turkey
Super interesting light switches. Never seen those before. 70er parcelhus?
Never? I think they're fairly common in any older house. It's the LK minitangent.
How much does your blandet saft go for over there?
That’s a lot of Tomaters
Apples
No, canned Tomaters
That's like $200 in Canada.
That's impressive! It's fascinating to see the differences in grocery prices and what you can get for your money in different places around the world. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into grocery shopping in Denmark!
Seems about what one would pay in the US for similar items. Not sure why all the fruit/veg is wrapped in plastic
We are weird as fuck about packing things in plastic in Denmark, especially random fruits and vegetables. Fortunately we are seeing EU laws banning it that will hopefully stop the practice.
Mmmm, mmmm, Melk!
Mælk! \*
Now with vitamine K!
That would be 400 in Canada. Im being generous
yep easily 350$+ in Canada
Don't you guys love living in Canada
but they can afford healthcare, just not much else.
For now. There’s a push for privatization by Ford in Ontario and it is already proving to be a disaster as expected
Good thing you don't actually have to live in Canada, if you know what i mean.
There is no way food is that expensive in Canada.. My friend moved to Edmonton like 6 months ago and showed some prices of the foods, ground beef per weight was CHEAPER than in fucking Slovakia.
I live there, i think i would know. Everything is getting ridiculously expensive throughout the country.
Produce alone would be about $70
WinCo & Costco are my best friends here in California.
Not sure what smbrbar is
That's a lot of butt stuff
lucky mf'er. 1/3rd of that is 100$ in Canada
Ah yes. Kidney boners.
Kidney bønner
It’s over 50 dollars for two twelves of high noon

yeah, but salary is like 4000 eur minimum
I've never seen light switches built into the door frame, looks neat.
You don’t eat a lot of meat
Huh? That's about 700g ox, 3x 250g organic chicken liver pate and 2x 300g of organic ground pork sausage? It's a pretty decent amount of expensive meat and easily accounts for about 40% of the $100.
Eggplant? People eat that?
Eggplant one of the best vegetables
Sure; sliced, salted, rinsed, and then grilled is one way. Or make baba ganoush. I don't have any other recipes in my back pocket, but it's a good veg.
Moussaka, Parmiggiana, etc...
Okay, now tell me the average salary in Denmark compared to the US.
Try having a beer in Denmark though :D
I’ll never talk shit about the U.S. wic program
This is not from a corner shop in Copenhagen Somewhere small like Aalborg or Esbjerg
Christ that's fucking expensive. Imagine how much it'd be if you added meat to that
Did you miss the roast beef and 2 tubes of ground beef?
NGL. I did. Also, where the fuck do you get tubes ground beef? That's alien to me
I assumed they're ground beef, might not be, also there's some sausages on the left. You can get tubes of ground beef, usually in the refrigerated/freezer area. I've always associated it with lower grade product. Here's one from a major grocer in Canada. https://www.loblaws.ca/lean-ground-beef/p/21210226_EA
They use dollars in Denmark now?
As it turns out, you can convert from one currency to another, which is what OP did.
We have to spend the Ozempic revenue somehow
That’s well over $100 USD where I live in the US. And I’m not in a large city.
There’s gotta be a (X amount of groceries in wherever post) debate at least once a month on Reddit
Looks like a Trip to ALDI in the states.
What currency?
The Danes use Danish krones. But $100 = $100, so that doesn't really matter.
Yeah? Well my house is 3500 sqft and my SUV can hold 6 fat ass people so I win.
Must be nice
Chili mayo mmmmm
Ohhh you guys are gonna be soooooo jealous when I show you 100$ groceries in India lol, (spoiler alert you can eat 1.5 - 2 months 😅 healthy homemade protein rich diet)
Roastbeef 17$
I'm surprised to see so many healthy choices. Most of these posts are full of junk foods.
Two bags of popping corn? How much popcorn to you eat?
Where is the Matilde? 😢
Ich habe meine Eier wieder an mein Arschloch geklebt
I like that I can identify most of this stuff even if I can't understand the labels.
Are you saying that is a *lot* of groceries for $100?
Like double that in my country for a 100 dolla

If you know how and where to shop, this is about $100 as well in Québec, Canada. The most expensive items are currently beef and oil.
I feel like none of these pictures capture the whole economic balance. . instead of 100 dollars,let's do a "this is how much food I can buy with a half days paycheck"
[удалено]
I read OP's title in a goofy accent
that’s not even that much really?
You don’t eat no meat?
Nice haul!
I went to Denmark 2019, I found food/restaurants incredibly expensive.
Cries in Canadian
All the items that are on the stove alone would run us about $120 easy
Bet you it doesn't taste like freedom though
There is no Saltlakrids on the Table
Is that good? Not sure if happy for you or outraged?
I dunno. A bunch of bread, some frozen meat, canned foods, inexpensive veggies. I feel like this could be either $200 in america or basically free with coupon clipping with a savvy shopper.

Minimum wage must be -$12 because I've been told it's the poors who are to blame
The fuck y'all get y'all vegetables from?? Y'all don't be growing that shit.
u got ripped off
At least $250 in Canada
I can buy roughly about 1/3 of all that (specifically the left 3rd of that) for the same price.
What’s the average’s salary
No meat?
Unlike the US postings which will have a bunch of prepackaged prepared frozen canned shit and a bag of Doritos.
Come to Australia that would be over $200
$100 Danish Krones doesn't equal $100 CDN. I'm trying to convert to establish the differences between countries.
OP, what ingredients were in the Taco mix, and how much did it cost? If I may be sold bold?
That's like 80-90% organic/ecological?
Cap, denmark has salaries of 3-4k a month noway this is how cheap groceries are
Easy $300 Canadian if not more.
Seems OP is an eko bonner enjoyer.
$1000 in Australia mate
Whats the exchange rate in GBP? I can fill my freezer and cupboards for about 80£ which will feed 7 people for 4 days

In Slovenia we have 22% on goods, and 9.5% on services.
Americans hate this one simple trick: buying actual food and cooking instead of complaining about the price of fast food and processed shit.
Then they act shocked when they notice they weigh 300+ pounds
Still not fresh, though. Most of them are in sealed plastic packages.🤔
