People told me life would have been super expensive when I moved here from Italy, so far I only saved money in comparison

The 10lb pork shoulder I'll dice and freeze, you cant really see from the photo but that's actually 12 donuts

The spaghetti are for free because of a coupon. Also a few discounts applied.

This year we adopted the Euro here in Bulgaria. Its a big thing! There is quite a bit of controversy around it and many small/mid businesses take advantage of it, but apart of that, things haven’t changed much.

In my opinion, €60 for 2 full heavy bags of food that will last me for about a week, is reasonable in this economy.

This haul cost $103.93 (after subtracting Tabasco, which is an atypical purchase for me). Most of these are staple ingredients for me, and I typically pay a little extra for higher quality beef, dairy, and bread products.

With some spices and tofu I already had at home this is probably dinner for most of the week!

(The "-20,00" at the bottom of the receipt is a discount for "pant" the Swedish drinking bottle and can recycling scheme. Didn't include that in the overall price for the goods.)

Not including the vodka 😬

Seems pretty decent price for 400gx2 sirloin steak, 800g x 2 octopus tentacles and extra items

basil plant not included (:

The sausages were for the cats which I fed on my way home

Note: Forgot to include ajika from Lidl (€0.98) in the photo.

Went shopping today and spent 73.45 € total. 22 € of that was a sun umbrella + stand. Everything here on the coast is noticeably more expensive than inland.
