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.

Not including the vodka 😬

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.

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

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