3:30 Yes, the mango is cheaper here, but you have to remember that what you see as cheap, we see as expensive. 16:05 Someone on minimum wage doesn't buy that much. Definitely not. The minimum wage is currently 12 - 14 euros. That's around 1500 - 1600 euros net. After deducting the rent of around €800, you have a few other things to pay and then there's not much left over. So only people who earn well or live very frugally can afford to spend over €100 a week on shopping. Depending on how frugally you live, it can also be considerably less. For my part, I don't buy much and spend a minimum of 120 euros a month. The maximum is almost 200 euros, depending on the situation. But that doesn't just include drinking, it also includes refueling. Refueling alone is at least 200 euros (my workplace is not far away, so my car doesn't use much fuel per month). I often only shop at Edeka (also a German supermarket chain), which is a bit more expensive, but can be just as cheap when there are special offers. For fish sticks from Iglo, for example, normal price at the moment (15 fish sticks), approx. 4.60€ cheapest offer 2,22€ So I usually don't spend more than €30 per purchase, per week. So drinking, eating and refueling together is about 400€ per month for me, in addition to rent, energy, insurance, property tax, etc. of about 1300€ per month. With a net salary of approx. 2100€ net. The net salary of 3800€ per month is not the real average. This is because salaries of over €10,000 and more are sometimes included here. These are then high civil servants, manager salaries or the like. Some professions earn very well here in Germany. For example, my former brother-in-law worked as a software developer at VW and earned around €100,000 a year gross. Of course, it also depends on what lifestyle you have or want to have. Even rich people can lead a very modest lifestyle, while poorer people can also live a very extravagant lifestyle, but can't put anything aside. (This is just an extreme example)
Yes very true. I currently take 1800 home after Taxes, and am very lucky to rent a very small apartment very cheaply. My preferred food budget for a month is 150€ euro but I often spent around 300 if I include eating out and all the luxury snacks. I am trying meal planning next month so maybe Ill hit my goals. I am trying to go vor a 30% savings rate and my minimum saving rate ist 20%. Though that could change cause I am getting my drivers licence and am starting a degree later this year (that one my current employer will pay me back though if I succeed). Food is one of of my biggest monthly expenses after rent. You can easily spent less than me though, cause I have special dietary needs that I need to take into account. Also in this video the person is shopping in Kaufland, which has a really big selection, but is not the cheapest out there. I prefer to visit discounters and get the special stuff from the farmers market and some ethnic stores. My parents only buy their food either at the farmers market or at the organic supermarket for ethical reasons and they also spent around 500 a month for two people. Stuff there is definitely more expensive. And dining out is not included in that budget. They have a way bigger income then me though. Like you said in your video there are some rich people supermarkets in your country, and I would definitely count the Organic supermarkets and some inner city mall supermarkets in there too (those you mostly find in bigger or richer cities, like Munich, Münster, Berlin.
Ah, i forgot - yes, set up a P.O.Box or something like that so ppl can send you some stuff like snacks, chocolate, etc... from their respective countries for your pleasure and your videos ;)
That's a good idea, I would send snacks and foods from northern germany. Unfortunately we eat a lot of fish and shrimp that can't be sent. Maybe I can find something else that's local to send.
3800 Euro. Dont forget the taxes. Thats about 2.494,52 € for you. Cucumbers, Pickles grow in the garden here too. We used to preserve them ourselves. It's different with papayas and bananas. They have to be shipped from overseas. Cheese is hardly ever imported here. Most cheeses come from the EU. But fruits? I thought they came from Brazil? No pineapple grows here.
Most people earns 2.500 Euros not 3.800. After tax and Social Security you have 1.750 Euros. And after paying Rent for an Appartment (500 - 1200) you have not much for living
@@3rdworldpeoplereact I imagine exotic fruits that I have never seen before. There are definitely more fruits growing in the rainforests in Brazil than here.
Pickles are a stable food in Germany. Our climate is cold so we need to store food for the winter. Therefore the pickles were invented to give you some fresh taste and vitamines. Every household made them by themselves. Therefor they are really cheap and everywhere.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact If you want cheap workers (for EU/German standards) you need cheap food in the first place. Thus in Germany "basic food" (potato, rice, milk, ...) has lower taxes and many stuff is specially subsidized (e.g. milk, meat, bananas..) by the government to further keep the prices low. It's a vicious circle where you have many cheap workers who "mostly" can only effort cheap stuff. Also note that most of the (processed) stuff ain't imported but is produced in Germany. When I go across the boarder (15 km) to the Neatherlands, the same (german) stuff costs 10-40% more there (same for the NL stuff available in Germany). I assume that most stuff ain't locally produced for you and that you have longer trade routes. Therefore you end up with much higher prices. Another point is, that Germany has well established trading routes and thus logistics is very efficient and cheap compared to lesser developed countries. Add the fact that you get cheaper prices if you buy bigger volumes and you should a good idea where there price differences do add up for you. Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give some details to your question :)
don’t forget that many of these food products are either made/grown in Germany or come from neighboring EU-nations. Germans are also very conscious when buying seasonal foods rather than having strawberries at Christmas etc. So, we try to avoid too much imported foods unless they are cheap.
Hello from Germany, What you saw in the video is pretty accurate. She said that the average German spends about 200-250€ per month (per person) on food. I would agree with that. She was shopping at Kaufland. Although Kaufland is not a supermarket for the rich, it is possible to shop even cheaper in Germany. There are supermarkets that sell food even cheaper. But it also depends on the specific food. All in all, you can say that the video gives a good insight into what food costs in Germany. However, I don't know where you got the information about the average salary in Germany. 3800€ may be the average gross salary (without deducting taxes) but the net salary is lower. I would say the average net wage is somewhat between 1500€ and 2500€.
@@sandraankenbrand Yes, but the highest gas and electricity prices, we pay around 2-6 times more on gas(heating) and electricity, than the rest of the world
You get the coin you put into the trolley BACK ! And she showed ORGANIC cheese which is more expensive of course. Love your reactions and maybe fate has it and you will be able to visit Europe on day. 🤞
The Kaufland chain belongs to Schwarz group, which owns also the Discounter Lidl, both founded by Dieter Schwarz, who inherited the Lidl & Schwarz KG from his father in 1977. Kaufland has 770 shops in Germany and another 759 shops in multiple East European countries. The Kaufland concept is based on megastores like some US chains, but integrates also a certain "Discounter" style (cheap racks, special deals directly from the pallet and so on). The price performance is however not necessarily "better" than in more "traditional" supermarkets - despite of many "bait offers" a lot of products are currently as costly or even more costly than in other chains like Edeka or Rewe. If you earn 3,800 Euro per month, your monthly taxes would be around 320 Euro, but the compulsory social insurances will also be automatically deducted, so you would get about 2,500 to 2,700 on your bank account (depending on different factors). For most low and average earners the costs for rent (or mortgages respectively housing in general) would have the highest share of monthly expenses nowadays. Those pickles are probably a German product or maybe from Poland, pickled using a Silesian recipe. Especially the region southeast of Berlin is well known for its cucumbers and different recipes to pickle them. They are no special delicacy here, but rather an everyday staple. As a proud German I would not buy my bread there if I can avoid it. Those "freshly baked" breads were probably produced in some East European factory as "Teiglinge" (dough-pieces) or half-baked products and then deep-frozen before transported to Germany, where they were then crisped up in a oven at the store before put in the shelves. I prefer my bread from a real bakery containing less preservative and other agents and better ingredients. Similar for cheese - I avoid to buy prepackaged cheese, because being shrink-wrapped in plastics is neither good for the aroma nor for the shelf-live after the purchase. By the way: Germany is one of the biggest cheese producers in the world (and the biggest exporter of cheese), but imports also a lot specialities from its neighbor countries (esp. Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria). Same goes for meats - I rather buy less but better quality. But some people are often overwhelmed by the prices and buy more than they can eat before it goes bad. Food wasting is a problem here, not only by supermarkets throwing away food not anymore fresh enough to be sold, but also by people always hunting for cheap offers.
many backshops actually get their stuff from german companies. A friend of mine is working for one of those in Gevelsberg, NRW. They are supplying the local supermarkets and discounter.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Not just two. We have nine countries around Germany and all offers different things. The most germans travel from time to time to one or two of these countries for shoping and things like that. Which country depends on which is the next to where you live. But we can visit almost every country around us within a weekend trip.
I go to the Netherlands for poffertjes and kibbelinges. It takes about 2 hours to get to the border by car, I drive 3 hours to Groningen, the city alone is worth it😍. Amsterdam takes 4 hours...
It's funny, many people cry about how everything is overly expensive here in Germany (mostly those people are part of the political conservatives or the far right) but so many people from other countries (other European countries but also like from the US and from poorer nations) say that groceries are relatively cheap here. Reactions like yours really help to get a different view on my home country and it's both humbling but also uplifting. Thank you guys.
Kaufland is a normal supermarket, but very large in terms of area. You have only seen a very small section: Our Kaufland is around 6000 m² with around 40,000 items. Cheap but also more expensive goods are offered. Both the "poor" population and the middle class like to shop here. For one person you can expect to earn between €150-300/month, for two around €225-450/month. (depending on how frugally you want to live) Spending more is always possible... A realistic average salary is around €2250, but many earn well under €2000: An employee in a bakery, or a hairdresser or a service worker in a restaurant will earn between €1250-1600. I would like to find out more about a grocery store near you. Keep up the good work
@@YukiTheOkami what you are saying is so wrong and so dangerous. If you can only afford food and rent for your apartment and nothing else, then you are poor! However, that assumes that you are not living beyond your means. Someone who gets a salary of €2500 and then lives in an apartment for €1100, drives an expensive BMW, always has to have the latest smartphone, eats out in a restaurant almost every day, has no reserves at the end of the month. Others manage to cover their living expenses with €1500 and can still save a little. The problem usually lies with the people and their attitudes towards what they really need! Nobody needs a big SUV in a big city. Nobody needs the latest smartphone for €1500+ every year. The lower class, middle class (it is getting smaller, yes, but it exists) and upper class exist, but most have never learned how to handle money. Politics, especially some parties #NoAfD and some print media spread such claims and many do not diversify this information and simply believe everything.. That is the problem
@@FabchenKyraralso ich verdiene rund 2300€. Zahle knapp 1000€ Miete , rund 400€ Auto (brauche ich trotz Großstadt wegen Schichtarbeit), rund 500€ Lebensmittel, der Rest für Hobby und Freizeit. Da bleibt nix für Rücklagen oder Urlaub. Dafür 40 Stunden Schichtarbeit. Danke für Nix! Und nein, ich wähle nicht die AFD. Aber sicher auch nicht Ampel/CDU. In Deutschland ist die untere Mittelschicht komplett am Arsch. Am besten überhaupt nicht arbeiten, dann kann man sich zwar auch nichts leisten, hat aber wenigstens Freizeit.
1250? That's not even allowed, by far not. 2250€ as a normal skilled craftsman, is so far in the right direction. Unskilled I would say 1500-1700€, depends on how lucky you are.
Pickles, 670g cost about €0,95 in the Netherlands. Pringels €2,25 Buying water in a bottle is trowing away money because excellent drink quality water comes out of the tap. A single person household can buy groceries for about €40-70 per week here in NL
We reacted to a Dutch market, everything was very cheap, but many people commented that it was actually an expensive market. So everything is really cheap in the Netherlands, even expensive supermarkets can be cheap in our point of view. Fantastic!
3,800 gross is the average salary (everything is included, from citizens' allowance recipients to billionaires). In my environment, most people earn between €2,400 and €3,000 gross. That means a net salary after taxes and contributions of around €1,700 - €2,050 for income tax class I.
400-500 € for 2 people is a high price for shopping. We spend about the same money for a family of 5 persons. But we buy most stuff at a discounter like Lidl.
The red prices are in discount for a week.pringles,for example, cost usually round about 3 Euro. The yoghurt is without lactose, and more expensive than regular yoghurt. The tropival fruits are smaller. Mango is just a small hand full and not as that fresh as you get, becuase the shipping. Fresh strawberries in the season, will cost about 5 Euro 500g. Those were imported and less weight. We have cheap food in Germany, but high costs for the appartment rentals, for example.
Yet its like they would spend double while they earn half and a decent appartement in a safe area in eg Rio is more expensive than Munich. Germany has the lowest grocery prices in the world - its a fact
Regarding your question at the end - imo this is a pretty regular/standard grocery shopping spree for germans or austrians (where i live), nothing spectacular. I still don´t get it why things like vegetables and fruits are unaffordable for most people in a country like Brazil which is a) in the southern hemisphere and b) has vast agricultural spaces - at least those products should be cheaper over there.
I don't know how it is in Brazil, but for milk and vegetables, they rely on regional products and seasonal products. If companies buy in bulk, they also get a discount. Or it is stipulated in a contract. In some wholesale restaurants, when vegetable prices fall, they buy in bulk from neighboring countries and when they rise. In winter, people eat more lamb's lettuce here and get their salad from Italy, oranges from Israel and tomatoes from Spain. In summer, the price falls because every garden center grows tomatoes.
For many people, 3800€ is more of a dream. Example: you earn 2250% gross and around 1400€ after taxes. The rent costs you 750€, then half of the net amount is already gone. There are also costs for the car (current petrol price: around €1.87/litre) or for public transport, electricity, heating, additional costs, mobile communications and/or internet. There may still be 150 to 200€ (possibly even less) left for groceries.
@@Chewie1802 Ja, da sind wir bis vor ein paar Jahren auch immer hin gefahren. Aber inzwischen lohnt es sich vom Preis her nicht mehr! Holland ist bei vielen Sachen nicht mehr günstiger.
Hello, our monthly salary varies greatly depending on the region. In our area, most people have around €1,800 after tax. With around €500 in rent and another around €200 to €300 for groceries, there isn't that much left if you factor in things like insurance, electricity, water, petrol, etc
Thank you a lot for sharing. As a single household I planed around 10€ per day for food and drinks (2019) Nowerdays on a 2 person household we spend around 15-18€ per day (more healthy food, less frozen good) but post-corona inflation and the russian war against urkaine have also made food more expensive here.
This Video is filmed after the Inflation with the new prices. Some Produkts like Spaghetti are a little bit cheaper now. tomatoes cost this year less than the half again.
I think the most People earn between 1800 to 3000€ as skilled worker after tax. It depends on the skill, region and tax class. A fulltime job with minimum wage is around 1500€ a month after tax and sozial insurances.
I spend around 50 - 60 euros a week on food and drink alone. So around 200 - 250 euros a month. When I was still smoking, it was an additional 30 euros a week more. Electricity, internet, car insurance, television, parking space, etc. add up to around 250 euros a month. My rent is 377 euros. My current net income is 940 euros. I can't make any big leaps, but it's enough for a good life without a lack of food.
In Italy, grocery prices in small cities would be similar to Germany, with the exception of fruit and vegetables that are usually cheaper and grown locally. However salaries are much lower, so German living standard is better overall, all things considered.
@@iBrowneye126 It depends. Tax system is progressive, so tax percentages vary with income. Furthermore, there are contributions for the national pension scheme, unemployment insurance etc. Overall, I'd say that if you are an employee and earn 30,000 €/year pre-tax, you end up paying around 23% income tax and an additional 10% for pension and insurance. If you earn 60,000 €/year, your final income tax goes up to 33% In addition to that, your employer pays another quota for your pension scheme.
don’t be fooled. IN recent years, we have had many food banks for the poor go up, where the unemployed, single parents, and retired people with low pensions and the like can get supermarket overstock or almost expired foods for free or a low price and MANY do use them as they can not afford supermarket prices! Not everybody can afford such a full fridge!
3800€ 🤣🤣🤣 besides, depending where you live rent is really really expensive (f.e. around central germany a two room apartment with 60m² costs about 800 - 1000€/Month
Mi novia y yo vivimos y trabajamos en Alemania desde hace poco más de 1 año y medio. Trabajamos en una gran fábrica y ganamos un poquito más del salario mínimo, pero como trabajamos en turno de noche se nos queda en unos 2200 euros al mes cada uno. Vivimos en una ciudad muy pequeña donde los alquileres son muy baratos. Pero puedo confirmar que nosotros gastamos también entre 400-500 al mes en comida. En total gastamos entre 1200-1500 al mes entre los dos, lo que nos deja mucho margen para ahorrar.

The shopping seems pretty normal for a german couple.

2:55 the average monthly income after paying taxes and health insurance is around 2.600 €. But yes - it's relatively cheap to buy food and drinks here in Germany. But the costs for energy and water are more on the higher side...
you mean warm/heated water. ofc is more expensive^^ Germany doesnt have much natural energy supply themselves besides coal. The few tonnes uran we had for example was mined by the DDR (East Germany) for the most part. We dont really have oil or gas and the reserve we did found in the northsea is owned by us and other countries and we agreed to not touch it.
I LOVE your reactions... Please more Germany :) Thank you and Greetings from Germany! I go to Aldi and just sometimes to a supermarket. We are 3 people (kid, my wife and i) and we pay round about 500 Euro a month for our groceries. BUT we always go for sales, we love to try new things and there is nothing we do not eat, so it is easy for us to buy the groceries that are on sale. 🙂
Ela poderia ter escolhido um supermercado mais barato. Kaufland é um supermercado de médio porte, quando falamos de preços. Como vocês puderam ver no vídeo, quando ela saiu do supermercado, do outro lado do estacionamento, havia um Lidl. Isso junto com o Aldi, um supermercado econômico. Então o que ela gastou poderia ser bem menos, também se for comida para 2 pessoas durante uma semana, elas comem muito. Deixe-me acrescentar outra coisa. A Alemanha é mais barata que a Holanda. (Vou para a Alemanha comprar tabaco, simplesmente porque mesmo viajando de trem, 10 pacotes de tabaco me economizam mais, pois o custo da viagem até lá. [O preço da passagem de trem, dependendo da cidade para onde eu iria, fica entre 173 e 317 reais)

its not only due to politcs, but also development, transport costs, economic situation and so on. Germany has many trade agreements with other nations and we produce most day to day products or staples ourselves. The EU not only enhances this effect, but builds on it. No Custom fees for EU members, no additionial documents and stuff like that. Germanys infrastructure is also very dense compared to other nations (still not perfect ofc, far away from it actually). We are also suffering from issues here just like many other ppl from around the world due to inflation. Some products here have gone up like 50% due to shortages, price increases due to the energy price rising and for example olive oil also jumped up massively due to greece, italy and spain having weaker harvests in comparison to a more usual year. Most of our potatoes are grown in the south of germany for example. The recent heavy and prolonged rainfalls flooded not only parts of the land and many homes of germans, but also effected our harvest. many farmers lost quite the amount resulting in a supply issue locally in germany. sunflower oil went up with the invasion of ukriane, cause ukraine is one of the biggest exporter of it. grain prices sky rocketed in countries like egypt. The EU is heavily supporting famers inside the EU, because it has strategic value to it. however, that isnt perfect either ofc. Big Corparate like companies benefit way more from that support than smaller farmers unfortunately. Items and products like Nutella are being produced here or inside the EU. I for one buy only from brands when i know they are very good, or when they are on sale (like 20% or more). Otherwise i will buy the store brands for the most part. Why? Cause the more refined a product is the better it is to get the brand versions. If you want things like salt, veggies, flour and other very simple things you are usually better off with store brand products. A lot of brands also have deals with the stores here. The company behind "Köln Zucker", or "Diamant Zucker" (sugar products) also produces some store brand sugar products. Pfeiffer&Langen are the third largest producer of sugar based products and one if the biggest in Europe. Pepsi in Germany or their local partners also are producing the Penny store brand softdrinks for example. If you are interested in such infofromation look up the different places on the bottles were they are being filled.
In Germany even rich ppl go and buy at Aldi's or Lidl. 😁You can see their huge SUVs parking in front of them always. Lidl might be good for families as they have XXL packages for families often on offer. For me its not worth going bc they often are fare away from tube/bus stations. Same goes for Kaufland. Thus, I buy usually at Penny or REWE. I spend usually 400-500 EUR for 2 ppl, incl. tobacco. Income is around 3300 net together (I have a part time job only), costs for housing incl. all bills for a 2 room apartment is 700,-- EUR.
that's a really good idea! It's really frightening how we live in such a society of excess and many don't even begin to appreciate it. It would be so nice to share some of it with you and make you happy with it....
I think that is pretty normal to spend here. Kaufland is not a discounter, if you shop at a discounter you will spend even less, and the quality of the food is still very good. I think all kinds of people shop in Germany in all kinds of supermarkets, I don't think there is such a very distinctive separation of your income. Of course you can find higher priced stores and yes, only people with a higher income will go there, but basically I don't think that we really have that much separation between rich/middle/poor, when it comes to grocery shopping. I used to spend like EUR 600 on groceries for two people when I was still working and mostly shopped at organic stores. After I stopped working I had to modify and in the beginning spent like EUR 400-500 for two people, and now I am quite savvy shopping sales and special offer prices and manage with EUR 350 - 430 for two people. But I have to say that we rarely buy meat products, probably only once a month and not a large quantity, and meat products I will only buy organic and not from a supermarket, especially not a discounter. We mostly eat plant based. So that makes a big difference. Meat products are on the more expensive side if you buy a good quality.
So there you got a perfect niche business idea; because making pickles is actually very easy and cheap. You can also make some fermented stuff. Ka-ching!
I would say it was a normal grocery shopping. There are stores for rhich people in big cities and they are more expensive. The called Delikatessgeschäft or Feinkost. Grocery is cheaper than little stores the most times
The income spread in Germany is huge. My wife and I have over 10.000 after taxes, my mom only 1500, which includes the widow's pension of my dead dad. Nevertheless we know that groceries are very affordable in Germany compared to other. countries. This is due to our politcal stability and our membership in the EU. I guess we spend around 500 to 700 EUR per month for groceries but I am not quite sure. On top we pay for the school lunch of our 2 children, 100 to 200 per month. Normally we go to LIDL, which belongs to the same mother company as Kaufland. I prefer LIDL as it is smaller and the options and people are less. It is less stressful there, thats the point. Prices are about same. It is not true that Lidl or Aldi are cheaper than Kaufland. Kaufland just offer a wider spread of articles and you can choose more expensive ones. But they also offer the same stuff to the same prices as Lidl. Sometimes regarding fruits Kaufland is even cheaper.
Regarding the prices and ammount of goods, not everyone is able to buy so much, but probably the average of the population can do it once a week. I prefer to do shopping more frequently, about threee times a week, and i get less but more fresh items then, and i prefer eco goods, and i'm a vegetarian. The prices have gone up in the last year considerably (about 40%), especially for food, and so i'd say i spend about 500 € to 600 € a month for two people on it now.
It's been a while, but when I counted up what I spent per month here in Sweden it was about €100. I eat lots of potatoes, pasta and rice, so foods that basically costs nothing. Still I'm not conviced that Germany is cheap
3800 € before taxes! so 2500 € cash. Now, what does an apartment rent cost in a large city? 2 room apartment 50 sqm 1200-1500 € per month. Appliances like water, electricity, internet, garbage collection and so on...300-500 € a month. Now the salary suddenly doesn't appear big anymore, does it?
Someone already said it, but it bears repeating: The average income you looked up is before taxes and other contributions (things directly deducted from your pay automatically unless you're self-employed, like healthcare, retirement insurance, and so on) and only includes people employed full-time. The average income of all those earning money, after taxes and contributions, is a bit under 2.250€ per month.
hi guys! Kaufland actually is not a cheap store. I only go there for special products. my regular shopping is done in Aldi or Lidl. the stuff you need on dayly bases are much cheaper there.
But they have Discount price produkts too, but if you want tu show the different Produkts throughout , Kaufland is a good place to show the possibilities and variants for a realistic price,Kaufland isa good place. Like the most people I prefere the smaller supermarkets but for special t.hings, i o to Kaufland, too
Sorry, but the video is not really meaningful and many of the statements are not correct. For one thing, Kaufland is not cheap, there are cheaper alternatives! Secondly, €500 for two people is not something many people in Germany can afford! So don't assume what this person is saying there! And many people in Germany have an income of €1,500 - €2,000 or less! However, the range in our grocery stores is very large and varied, so you can still shop well even in cheaper discount stores!
If a person earns 1500 euros per month and spends 300 euros on food, that person spends 20% of their salary on eating good and healthy food in Germany. In Brazil, more than 70% of the salary goes on food (not so healthy). I know that there are still other monthly expenses that a person can have, but spending just 20% of your salary on food is already a good start! Peace and love from Brazil 🥰
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Just as an example, which may not be meaningful, but is exactly the same for many people in Germany. I pay 70% of my income for rent, heating, electricity, water, telephone/internet and other general costs! I use the remaining 30% to buy food. Or for other things that one needs. 😉
1500€? This is minimum wage. These are more likely to be people who have no training, speak no german or have an low graduation. Temporary workers or cleaners. For a normal worker it starts at 2000€. It is normal here to do an training or to study, everything else is not really the standard. Getting minimum are not exceptions, there are some who want to work straight after school but that is not the norm. Trained bakers are underpaid... During the euro crisis it was more because secondary school students in particular had a hard time getting an trainings position but that is over now, companies are looking again. Especially in the Craftsmanships, they need skilled workers and pay a decent salary.

It's not cheap at all. Most people only have about 300€ left for food for a month after taxes and other living costs, and that is if they DON'T save money. Most unemployed people who get financial social security aid can't make it to the end of the month if they are not buying the cheapest and unhealthiest processed foods.
Wir geben in Deutschland rund 20 bis 25% unseres Nettoeinkommens für Lebensmittel aus, allerdings müssen wir meistens auch bis zu50% unseres Einkommens fürMiete und Nebenkosten wie Heizung, Wasser und Strom ausgeben, der Rest ist dann entweder für Auto oder Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Urlaub und andere Dinge wie Möbel, Reperaturen usw . Das alles vom Nettogehalt, das ist das was Übrigbleibt wenn Steuern und Sozialabgaben wie Kranken, Arbeitslosen und Rentenversicherung bezahlt sind.
Iam German, speak italien, a bit of spanish an france. With conentrate listening i understand you, one time i spend holidays at Lisboa and Lagos, but 2O years ago
Na União Europeia não temos mercearias para clientes ricos. Pelo menos nunca ouvi falar deles. Praticamente todos os clientes ganham pelo menos o salário mínimo (na Polónia é cerca de 1.000 euros e o salário médio é de cerca de 2.000 euros) e podem pagar compras básicas de mercearia pelo menos uma vez por semana.
So strange.... A few years ago, my girlfriend and I often drove across the border to Holland (from Düsseldorf), because a lot of things were cheaper there. Now it's no longer worth it...
Even if your unemployed,you can buy all this .We have often been on a budget but always able to buy something extra for the kids.I'd say 350 to 400 Euro plus 50 extra for household items per Month for two people is ok.Since we are employed again we spend about 80 -120 extra for eating out 2 to 3 Times a month. We really like your content😊
3800 Euros.... maybe before tax and other fees. With 3800 Euros after tax you are well above average salary. AfaIk, the average salary is about 2200 Euros. Ah... yes. this was a common grocery shopping. Nothing special. Have about the same, twice a month.
kaufland is a more expensive supermarket in germany. i go to a special shop here were the sell food that doesnt fit the standard. for example sausages are to short or long and so on, quality is the same, so i pay 3,32 per kilogram for sausages , 2,99 euro per kilogram for salami or around 4 euro for one kilogram of cheese and so on.
8:12 in so I am seing the cheese right now. I have brazilian a girl friend from Sao Paulo that is saying, thet she has never seen so much choise of cheese in Brazil. But keep in mind that the bread in Germany, yes why not but all the cheeses you see is not ordinary for germany. I live in Luxembourg, so I know exactly what is going on here in Luxembourg but also in Germany, Belgium and France. France has maybe better bread (disputable) but better cheese for sure. Here in Luxembourg we have a couple of supermakets with 2 levels where you can go to (the flat elevators are actually done so your shopping cart will stick to it and not try to slip or fall and just going backwards). Other than taht for now it is really like a big supermaket from here
I'd say, yes, on the average income it's not unusual to by that many items. But there is a wide spread in income in Germany and there are actually not many people earning the average income. For example half of my friends earn around 25k-35k€ a year, that would be around 1600€-2000€ per month after taxes. The other half is about 60+k €. That will result in over 3000€ after taxes. And my mom's pension is just above 900€ per month, although she lives alone and there for does not need such a big hole on a regular basis.
400 -500€ for two people is insane. I would like to see how much of the groceries ends up in the bin. I spend an average of 250€, that is for 4 persons.
I didn't see any real luxury items there. Pickled cucumbers and Nutella are nothing special here. I usually spend around €60-70 per week in total for food/drinks and household items.
I Don't even know how much most of the groceris costs. Me and my wife togeher get around 3000-3500 euros/ month (after taxes). Wife buyes food and I the others like electricity, internet, some(few) loans and insurances etc.
Thank you very much for sharing this. It helps to clarify a lot of things, because when we see information about the cost of living in Europe, it really shocks us a lot because it is very different from what we experience here. 🤯 Peace and Love from Brazil ❤️❤️❤️
kaufland belongs to 1 man : Schwarz he owns Lidel too his riches are about 60 billion euors soo wich you go to that comany only 1 man gets rich, i thing thats wrong.

Yes, totally crazy. But the reality is that most people don't eat the type of food shown in the video, because if they did it would be almost their entire salary. People choose less healthy food to be able to pay for it.
Pickles is nothing special here. Its pretty cheap to be honest. You can get such a glass for less than 2 bucks. This is also grown here and nothing special for us. For us the mango, pinapple and papaya, avocados or even bananas are the exotic things that have to be imported from outside europe. Sure pineapple and banana is in our grocery stores for half a century but it has to be grown in the tropics.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact If i really good look and calculate I need maximal 250€ in a month. Yes somtimes I need more for hygenic products and cosmetic. But only for groceries we look for weekly prospects and that works fine. In one week there may be a mango for 2,99 € in another week for 1,99. So that works fine. Meat got expensive. And we eat mostly Bio. So we jingle from week to week. I really like to watch your videos 😃 it's nice to see Germany and other countries throu your eys. And of course learn about your country too. 🥰
Olá - Gostava que vocês (oriundos dos chamados países do 3º mundo) pudessem ter os mesmos preços. Não faz sentido que os países "mais pobres", em particular, tenham muitas vezes de pagar muito pelos alimentos e pelo suporte de vida. Pelo contrário, penso que faria muito mais sentido que os países mais ricos pudessem pagar preços ligeiramente mais elevados (porque podem). O que é que acha?
So my shoping last week was Some bread bNans a almond chocolst kinder bueno german pasta(spätzle) sausage ring (Fleischwurst) salami100g emmentsler cheese 200g a cucumber sone eisberg lettuce 2 balls mozerella and i was at about 27 eueo thsts usualy with the stuff i already have home hood for 5 ton7 days as i said i am trained to not est much so much sometimes i have food items spoil even though i buy not alot
I make about 3200 euro in 4 weeks (after tax). on groceries I spent about 100 euro a week. (425 euro a mounth) i need to live, and to pay al Bills about 2000 euro in 4 weeks. I can save a 1000 euro every pay check. I live in the Netherlands
3:30 Yes, the mango is cheaper here, but you have to remember that what you see as cheap, we see as expensive.
16:05 Someone on minimum wage doesn't buy that much. Definitely not. The minimum wage is currently 12 - 14 euros. That's around 1500 - 1600 euros net.
After deducting the rent of around €800, you have a few other things to pay and then there's not much left over. So only people who earn well or live very frugally can afford to spend over €100 a week on shopping.
Depending on how frugally you live, it can also be considerably less.
For my part, I don't buy much and spend a minimum of 120 euros a month. The maximum is almost 200 euros, depending on the situation.
But that doesn't just include drinking, it also includes refueling.
Refueling alone is at least 200 euros (my workplace is not far away, so my car doesn't use much fuel per month).
I often only shop at Edeka (also a German supermarket chain), which is a bit more expensive, but can be just as cheap when there are special offers.
For fish sticks from Iglo, for example, normal price at the moment (15 fish sticks), approx. 4.60€
cheapest offer 2,22€
So I usually don't spend more than €30 per purchase, per week.
So drinking, eating and refueling together is about 400€ per month for me, in addition to rent, energy, insurance, property tax, etc. of about 1300€ per month.
With a net salary of approx. 2100€ net.
The net salary of 3800€ per month is not the real average. This is because salaries of over €10,000 and more are sometimes included here. These are then high civil servants, manager salaries or the like.
Some professions earn very well here in Germany. For example, my former brother-in-law worked as a software developer at VW and earned around €100,000 a year gross.
Of course, it also depends on what lifestyle you have or want to have.
Even rich people can lead a very modest lifestyle, while poorer people can also live a very extravagant lifestyle, but can't put anything aside. (This is just an extreme example)
Yet it is true and proven that Germany has the worlds lowest prices on groceries in comparison to income
Yes very true. I currently take 1800 home after Taxes, and am very lucky to rent a very small apartment very cheaply. My preferred food budget for a month is 150€ euro but I often spent around 300 if I include eating out and all the luxury snacks. I am trying meal planning next month so maybe Ill hit my goals. I am trying to go vor a 30% savings rate and my minimum saving rate ist 20%. Though that could change cause I am getting my drivers licence and am starting a degree later this year (that one my current employer will pay me back though if I succeed). Food is one of of my biggest monthly expenses after rent. You can easily spent less than me though, cause I have special dietary needs that I need to take into account. Also in this video the person is shopping in Kaufland, which has a really big selection, but is not the cheapest out there. I prefer to visit discounters and get the special stuff from the farmers market and some ethnic stores.
My parents only buy their food either at the farmers market or at the organic supermarket for ethical reasons and they also spent around 500 a month for two people. Stuff there is definitely more expensive. And dining out is not included in that budget. They have a way bigger income then me though.
Like you said in your video there are some rich people supermarkets in your country, and I would definitely count the Organic supermarkets and some inner city mall supermarkets in there too (those you mostly find in bigger or richer cities, like Munich, Münster, Berlin.
Ah, i forgot - yes, set up a P.O.Box or something like that so ppl can send you some stuff like snacks, chocolate, etc... from their respective countries for your pleasure and your videos ;)
Good idea!
That sounds great! ❤️❤️
We'll take care of that!
That's a good idea, I would send snacks and foods from northern germany.
Unfortunately we eat a lot of fish and shrimp that can't be sent.
Maybe I can find something else that's local to send.
@@germanyhamburger5552
How about Lübecker Marzipan?
@@user-zn6ym9gw3j I had thought of that, but it is a Lübeck speciality, not a Hamburg one. Nevertheless, I would send it along too.
3800 Euro. Dont forget the taxes. Thats about 2.494,52 € for you.
Cucumbers, Pickles grow in the garden here too. We used to preserve them ourselves. It's different with papayas and bananas. They have to be shipped from overseas.
Cheese is hardly ever imported here. Most cheeses come from the EU.
But fruits? I thought they came from Brazil? No pineapple grows here.
Pineapple also comes from south brazil, but is mostly grown in east asia for sale.
Our world has a strange system when it comes to food.
@@germanyhamburger5552Ananas aus Caracas
But she is right: in comparison to income German grocery prices are the lowest in the world!
And not only taxes. A big chunk goes to housing and insurances too.
Most people earns 2.500 Euros not 3.800. After tax and Social Security you have 1.750 Euros. And after paying Rent for an Appartment (500 - 1200) you have not much for living
I'd like to see how brazilian shops look like. And the prices of course.
We're going to make a video showing this 🤗🤗
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Thank you very much!! Such impressions are also important for us to understand how you manage your everyday life.
Yes, please. I'd like To see. Wishes from Finland 🇫🇮 I❤️you
@@3rdworldpeoplereact I imagine exotic fruits that I have never seen before.
There are definitely more fruits growing in the rainforests in Brazil than here.
Pickles are a stable food in Germany. Our climate is cold so we need to store food for the winter. Therefore the pickles were invented to give you some fresh taste and vitamines. Every household made them by themselves. Therefor they are really cheap and everywhere.
A popular food is cheap in Germany. It's impressive to know this, because here even popular food are expensive here, like rice and beans.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact If you want cheap workers (for EU/German standards) you need cheap food in the first place. Thus in Germany "basic food" (potato, rice, milk, ...) has lower taxes and many stuff is specially subsidized (e.g. milk, meat, bananas..) by the government to further keep the prices low.
It's a vicious circle where you have many cheap workers who "mostly" can only effort cheap stuff.
Also note that most of the (processed) stuff ain't imported but is produced in Germany. When I go across the boarder (15 km) to the Neatherlands, the same (german) stuff costs 10-40% more there (same for the NL stuff available in Germany). I assume that most stuff ain't locally produced for you and that you have longer trade routes. Therefore you end up with much higher prices.
Another point is, that Germany has well established trading routes and thus logistics is very efficient and cheap compared to lesser developed countries. Add the fact that you get cheaper prices if you buy bigger volumes and you should a good idea where there price differences do add up for you.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give some details to your question :)
@@johnsmoke1785 Great wall of text ;o)
don’t forget that many of these food products are either made/grown in Germany or come from neighboring EU-nations. Germans are also very conscious when buying seasonal foods rather than having strawberries at Christmas etc. So, we try to avoid too much imported foods unless they are cheap.
Hello from Germany,
What you saw in the video is pretty accurate. She said that the average German spends about 200-250€ per month (per person) on food. I would agree with that.
She was shopping at Kaufland. Although Kaufland is not a supermarket for the rich, it is possible to shop even cheaper in Germany. There are supermarkets that sell food even cheaper. But it also depends on the specific food.
All in all, you can say that the video gives a good insight into what food costs in Germany.
However, I don't know where you got the information about the average salary in Germany. 3800€ may be the average gross salary (without deducting taxes) but the net salary is lower. I would say the average net wage is somewhat between 1500€ and 2500€.
correct. if your net is 3800 you are rich here^^
3000 net is already top 15% earner
I am also from Germany.
I have about 1500 Euro per month and I spent about 150 Euro on food.
Yet Germany has the worlds lowest prices on groceries in comparison to income - fact
@@sandraankenbrand Yes, but the highest gas and electricity prices, we pay around 2-6 times more on gas(heating) and electricity, than the rest of the world
Even I as a Dutchie living near the border of Germany, go shopping at Kaufland. It's cheaper! Even the Meat and cheese.
As a belgian I do the same 😅👍🏻 Meat is much cheaper 😅
You get the coin you put into the trolley BACK !
And she showed ORGANIC cheese which is more expensive of course.
Love your reactions and maybe fate has it and you will be able to visit Europe on day. 🤞
The Kaufland chain belongs to Schwarz group, which owns also the Discounter Lidl, both founded by Dieter Schwarz, who inherited the Lidl & Schwarz KG from his father in 1977. Kaufland has 770 shops in Germany and another 759 shops in multiple East European countries. The Kaufland concept is based on megastores like some US chains, but integrates also a certain "Discounter" style (cheap racks, special deals directly from the pallet and so on). The price performance is however not necessarily "better" than in more "traditional" supermarkets - despite of many "bait offers" a lot of products are currently as costly or even more costly than in other chains like Edeka or Rewe.
If you earn 3,800 Euro per month, your monthly taxes would be around 320 Euro, but the compulsory social insurances will also be automatically deducted, so you would get about 2,500 to 2,700 on your bank account (depending on different factors). For most low and average earners the costs for rent (or mortgages respectively housing in general) would have the highest share of monthly expenses nowadays.
Those pickles are probably a German product or maybe from Poland, pickled using a Silesian recipe. Especially the region southeast of Berlin is well known for its cucumbers and different recipes to pickle them. They are no special delicacy here, but rather an everyday staple.
As a proud German I would not buy my bread there if I can avoid it. Those "freshly baked" breads were probably produced in some East European factory as "Teiglinge" (dough-pieces) or half-baked products and then deep-frozen before transported to Germany, where they were then crisped up in a oven at the store before put in the shelves. I prefer my bread from a real bakery containing less preservative and other agents and better ingredients.
Similar for cheese - I avoid to buy prepackaged cheese, because being shrink-wrapped in plastics is neither good for the aroma nor for the shelf-live after the purchase. By the way: Germany is one of the biggest cheese producers in the world (and the biggest exporter of cheese), but imports also a lot specialities from its neighbor countries (esp. Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria).
Same goes for meats - I rather buy less but better quality. But some people are often overwhelmed by the prices and buy more than they can eat before it goes bad. Food wasting is a problem here, not only by supermarkets throwing away food not anymore fresh enough to be sold, but also by people always hunting for cheap offers.
many backshops actually get their stuff from german companies. A friend of mine is working for one of those in Gevelsberg, NRW. They are supplying the local supermarkets and discounter.
15:20 I live in the North of NEtherlands, I always do my shopping in Germany, also gasoline tanking. 30 minutes drive to Germany from where I live

It must be good to live this way, you enjoy good things from two incredible countries 🥰
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Not just two. We have nine countries around Germany and all offers different things. The most germans travel from time to time to one or two of these countries for shoping and things like that. Which country depends on which is the next to where you live.
But we can visit almost every country around us within a weekend trip.

I go to the Netherlands for poffertjes and kibbelinges.

It's funny, many people cry about how everything is overly expensive here in Germany (mostly those people are part of the political conservatives or the far right) but so many people from other countries (other European countries but also like from the US and from poorer nations) say that groceries are relatively cheap here.
Reactions like yours really help to get a different view on my home country and it's both humbling but also uplifting. Thank you guys.
Kaufland is a normal supermarket, but very large in terms of area. You have only seen a very small section: Our Kaufland is around 6000 m² with around 40,000 items. Cheap but also more expensive goods are offered. Both the "poor" population and the middle class like to shop here. For one person you can expect to earn between €150-300/month, for two around €225-450/month. (depending on how frugally you want to live)
Spending more is always possible...
A realistic average salary is around €2250, but many earn well under €2000: An employee in a bakery, or a hairdresser or a service worker in a restaurant will earn between €1250-1600.
I would like to find out more about a grocery store near you.
Keep up the good work
There is no middle class
@@YukiTheOkami what you are saying is so wrong and so dangerous.
If you can only afford food and rent for your apartment and nothing else, then you are poor! However, that assumes that you are not living beyond your means. Someone who gets a salary of €2500 and then lives in an apartment for €1100, drives an expensive BMW, always has to have the latest smartphone, eats out in a restaurant almost every day, has no reserves at the end of the month.
Others manage to cover their living expenses with €1500 and can still save a little.
The problem usually lies with the people and their attitudes towards what they really need! Nobody needs a big SUV in a big city. Nobody needs the latest smartphone for €1500+ every year.
The lower class, middle class (it is getting smaller, yes, but it exists) and upper class exist, but most have never learned how to handle money.
Politics, especially some parties #NoAfD and some print media spread such claims and many do not diversify this information and simply believe everything..
That is the problem

We reacted to a Dutch market, everything was very cheap, but many people commented that it was actually an expensive market. So everything is really cheap in the Netherlands, even expensive supermarkets can be cheap in our point of view. Fantastic!
the most people have less than 2400€ the ultra rich ruin the stats!
Furthermore, the amount they quoted is before taxes and social security contributions.
The priceshields in red are timed special offers. In a Kaufland that often means it's about half the standard price.
When they reacted to the Pringles, I was like MAN I wish they'd always cost 1,49€ 😂
3,800 gross is the average salary (everything is included, from citizens' allowance recipients to billionaires). In my environment, most people earn between €2,400 and €3,000 gross. That means a net salary after taxes and contributions of around €1,700 - €2,050 for income tax class I.
400-500 € for 2 people is a high price for shopping. We spend about the same money for a family of 5 persons. But we buy most stuff at a discounter like Lidl.

The red prices are in discount for a week.pringles,for example, cost usually round about 3 Euro. The yoghurt is without lactose, and more expensive than regular yoghurt. The tropival fruits are smaller. Mango is just a small hand full and not as that fresh as you get, becuase the shipping. Fresh strawberries in the season, will cost about 5 Euro 500g. Those were imported and less weight. We have cheap food in Germany, but high costs for the appartment rentals, for example.
Yet its like they would spend double while they earn half and a decent appartement in a safe area in eg Rio is more expensive than Munich.
Germany has the lowest grocery prices in the world - its a fact
Regarding your question at the end - imo this is a pretty regular/standard grocery shopping spree for germans or austrians (where i live), nothing spectacular. I still don´t get it why things like vegetables and fruits are unaffordable for most people in a country like Brazil which is a) in the southern hemisphere and b) has vast agricultural spaces - at least those products should be cheaper over there.
I don't know how it is in Brazil, but for milk and vegetables, they rely on regional products and seasonal products. If companies buy in bulk, they also get a discount. Or it is stipulated in a contract. In some wholesale restaurants, when vegetable prices fall, they buy in bulk from neighboring countries and when they rise. In winter, people eat more lamb's lettuce here and get their salad from Italy, oranges from Israel and tomatoes from Spain. In summer, the price falls because every garden center grows tomatoes.
For many people, 3800€ is more of a dream. Example: you earn 2250% gross and around 1400€ after taxes. The rent costs you 750€, then half of the net amount is already gone. There are also costs for the car (current petrol price: around €1.87/litre) or for public transport, electricity, heating, additional costs, mobile communications and/or internet. There may still be 150 to 200€ (possibly even less) left for groceries.

Hello, our monthly salary varies greatly depending on the region. In our area, most people have around €1,800 after tax. With around €500 in rent and another around €200 to €300 for groceries, there isn't that much left if you factor in things like insurance, electricity, water, petrol, etc
Thank you a lot for sharing.
As a single household I planed around 10€ per day for food and drinks (2019)
Nowerdays on a 2 person household we spend around 15-18€ per day (more healthy food, less frozen good) but post-corona inflation and the russian war against urkaine have also made food more expensive here.
This Video is filmed after the Inflation with the new prices. Some Produkts like Spaghetti are a little bit cheaper now. tomatoes cost this year less than the half again.
I think the most People earn between 1800 to 3000€ as skilled worker after tax. It depends on the skill, region and tax class. A fulltime job with minimum wage is around 1500€ a month after tax and sozial insurances.
I spend around 50 - 60 euros a week on food and drink alone. So around 200 - 250 euros a month. When I was still smoking, it was an additional 30 euros a week more. Electricity, internet, car insurance, television, parking space, etc. add up to around 250 euros a month. My rent is 377 euros. My current net income is 940 euros. I can't make any big leaps, but it's enough for a good life without a lack of food.
In Italy, grocery prices in small cities would be similar to Germany, with the exception of fruit and vegetables that are usually cheaper and grown locally. However salaries are much lower, so German living standard is better overall, all things considered.
How much taxes you pay in Italy?
@@iBrowneye126 It depends. Tax system is progressive, so tax percentages vary with income. Furthermore, there are contributions for the national pension scheme, unemployment insurance etc.
Overall, I'd say that if you are an employee and earn 30,000 €/year pre-tax, you end up paying around 23% income tax and an additional 10% for pension and insurance.
If you earn 60,000 €/year, your final income tax goes up to 33%
In addition to that, your employer pays another quota for your pension scheme.
don’t be fooled. IN recent years, we have had many food banks for the poor go up, where the unemployed, single parents, and retired people with low pensions and the like can get supermarket overstock or almost expired foods for free or a low price and MANY do use them as they can not afford supermarket prices! Not everybody can afford such a full fridge!

En total gastamos entre 1200-1500 al mes entre los dos, lo que nos deja mucho margen para ahorrar. Por cierto, disfruto mucho viendo sus videos, con ustedes descubrí que hablando español puedo entender bastante bien el portugués de Brasil :) Muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros sus reacciones!
The cost of living in Germany is truly impressive. We have seen many people saying that smaller cities (like you) are even cheaper to live. Thank you very much for commenting, and yes Spanish and Portuguese are so similar, I love it!
I Love your videos ❤ yes thats a typical Shopping for almost all workers here so Count on spendngs 250 Euro for food and cleaning things needed for whole month... More of this Videos please 🤗 youre fantastic 🎉
What a wonderful, crazy and fantastic thing! 🤯😍
@@3rdworldpeoplereact i am so sorry that you dont have Access to this food because of Money 🥹 ITS so Sad 😪 but please Go on with your nice Channel... I Like IT a Lot 💞 thank you
The shopping seems pretty normal for a german couple.
I'm actually from Austria, but i'm often in germany, i earn about 3200€ after taxes(14x a year) and i spend about 300-500€ on groceries on myself, but i eat the amount a lot of couples eat.(doing weight lifting)
It is really sad to hear that the life quality could be way better in your beatiful country. My girlfriend is half brazilian, my ex was from brazil and i saw and heard so many great things about your country.
I really wish that your life quality will improve!
2:55 the average monthly income after paying taxes and health insurance is around 2.600 €. But yes - it's relatively cheap to buy food and drinks here in Germany. But the costs for energy and water are more on the higher side...
you mean warm/heated water. ofc is more expensive^^
Germany doesnt have much natural energy supply themselves besides coal. The few tonnes uran we had for example was mined by the DDR (East Germany) for the most part. We dont really have oil or gas and the reserve we did found in the northsea is owned by us and other countries and we agreed to not touch it.
I'm a single guy and I spend about 150€ a month at the grocery store. Although I save a lot by cooking fresh and being vegetarian.
I LOVE your reactions... Please more Germany :) Thank you and Greetings from Germany!
I go to Aldi and just sometimes to a supermarket. We are 3 people (kid, my wife and i) and we pay round about 500 Euro a month for our groceries. BUT we always go for sales, we love to try new things and there is nothing we do not eat, so it is easy for us to buy the groceries that are on sale. 🙂
Ela poderia ter escolhido um supermercado mais barato. Kaufland é um supermercado de médio porte, quando falamos de preços. Como vocês puderam ver no vídeo, quando ela saiu do supermercado, do outro lado do estacionamento, havia um Lidl. Isso junto com o Aldi, um supermercado econômico. Então o que ela gastou poderia ser bem menos, também se for comida para 2 pessoas durante uma semana, elas comem muito.
Deixe-me acrescentar outra coisa. A Alemanha é mais barata que a Holanda. (Vou para a Alemanha comprar tabaco, simplesmente porque mesmo viajando de trem, 10 pacotes de tabaco me economizam mais, pois o custo da viagem até lá. [O preço da passagem de trem, dependendo da cidade para onde eu iria, fica entre 173 e 317 reais)
In Germany the best drinking water comes from the tap :o no joke. You don't have to buy water in Germany if you don't want it, it's also free.
And tap water costs around 0.02 € per Liter

Meus queridos amigos de língua portuguesa... Pepinos em conserva não são ciência de foguetes! Se você tiver a oportunidade de cultivar pepinos sozinho, tudo o que você precisa é de alguns potes adequados com as misturas de temperos para conservar e depois ferver. Na verdade, você encontra aqui todas as receitas que precisa. Tenho certeza que você encontrará tudo o que precisa na América do Sul. E se essas coisas são tão “luxuosas”, então um ou dois copos dos caseiros também são uma ótima lembrança quando você é convidado...
It's really sad that you mentioned so often that only 'rich' people have access to some foods. That's not a thing in Europe at all.
F..k politics
😢
its not only due to politcs, but also development, transport costs, economic situation and so on. Germany has many trade agreements with other nations and we produce most day to day products or staples ourselves. The EU not only enhances this effect, but builds on it. No Custom fees for EU members, no additionial documents and stuff like that. Germanys infrastructure is also very dense compared to other nations (still not perfect ofc, far away from it actually).
We are also suffering from issues here just like many other ppl from around the world due to inflation. Some products here have gone up like 50% due to shortages, price increases due to the energy price rising and for example olive oil also jumped up massively due to greece, italy and spain having weaker harvests in comparison to a more usual year.
Most of our potatoes are grown in the south of germany for example. The recent heavy and prolonged rainfalls flooded not only parts of the land and many homes of germans, but also effected our harvest. many farmers lost quite the amount resulting in a supply issue locally in germany.
sunflower oil went up with the invasion of ukriane, cause ukraine is one of the biggest exporter of it.
grain prices sky rocketed in countries like egypt.
The EU is heavily supporting famers inside the EU, because it has strategic value to it. however, that isnt perfect either ofc. Big Corparate like companies benefit way more from that support than smaller farmers unfortunately.
Items and products like Nutella are being produced here or inside the EU. I for one buy only from brands when i know they are very good, or when they are on sale (like 20% or more). Otherwise i will buy the store brands for the most part. Why? Cause the more refined a product is the better it is to get the brand versions. If you want things like salt, veggies, flour and other very simple things you are usually better off with store brand products. A lot of brands also have deals with the stores here.
The company behind "Köln Zucker", or "Diamant Zucker" (sugar products) also produces some store brand sugar products.
Pfeiffer&Langen are the third largest producer of sugar based products and one if the biggest in Europe.
Pepsi in Germany or their local partners also are producing the Penny store brand softdrinks for example. If you are interested in such infofromation look up the different places on the bottles were they are being filled.
@@xSoulhunterDKx No time for this script
Honestly, Most people in Germany have only 1000-1500 per month for spending 😅
In Germany even rich ppl go and buy at Aldi's or Lidl. 😁You can see their huge SUVs parking in front of them always. Lidl might be good for families as they have XXL packages for families often on offer. For me its not worth going bc they often are fare away from tube/bus stations. Same goes for Kaufland. Thus, I buy usually at Penny or REWE. I spend usually 400-500 EUR for 2 ppl, incl. tobacco. Income is around 3300 net together (I have a part time job only), costs for housing incl. all bills for a 2 room apartment is 700,-- EUR.
Do you have a post box? Maybe to send you some goodies of our communities different countries options and specialities 😊
That would be lovely!
We don't have it yet, but we are already researching it 😍
that's a really good idea!
It's really frightening how we live in such a society of excess and many don't even begin to appreciate it.
It would be so nice to share some of it with you and make you happy with it....
Yes, please do. So we can send you products that are typical Dutch.
Yes please so i can send you something from Germany lots of Love
Yes pls do that. Wanna send u some pickle and a variety of sweets and snacks from my country. (Germany) It would be amazing.
I think that is pretty normal to spend here. Kaufland is not a discounter, if you shop at a discounter you will spend even less, and the quality of the food is still very good. I think all kinds of people shop in Germany in all kinds of supermarkets, I don't think there is such a very distinctive separation of your income. Of course you can find higher priced stores and yes, only people with a higher income will go there, but basically I don't think that we really have that much separation between rich/middle/poor, when it comes to grocery shopping.
I used to spend like EUR 600 on groceries for two people when I was still working and mostly shopped at organic stores. After I stopped working I had to modify and in the beginning spent like EUR 400-500 for two people, and now I am quite savvy shopping sales and special offer prices and manage with EUR 350 - 430 for two people. But I have to say that we rarely buy meat products, probably only once a month and not a large quantity, and meat products I will only buy organic and not from a supermarket, especially not a discounter. We mostly eat plant based. So that makes a big difference. Meat products are on the more expensive side if you buy a good quality.
So there you got a perfect niche business idea; because making pickles is actually very easy and cheap. You can also make some fermented stuff. Ka-ching!
I would say it was a normal grocery shopping. There are stores for rhich people in big cities and they are more expensive. The called Delikatessgeschäft or Feinkost. Grocery is cheaper than little stores the most times
there's no need to buy table water in Germany as the tap water has potable standard.
The income spread in Germany is huge. My wife and I have over 10.000 after taxes, my mom only 1500, which includes the widow's pension of my dead dad.
Nevertheless we know that groceries are very affordable in Germany compared to other. countries. This is due to our politcal stability and our membership in the EU.
I guess we spend around 500 to 700 EUR per month for groceries but I am not quite sure. On top we pay for the school lunch of our 2 children, 100 to 200 per month. Normally we go to LIDL, which belongs to the same mother company as Kaufland. I prefer LIDL as it is smaller and the options and people are less. It is less stressful there, thats the point. Prices are about same. It is not true that Lidl or Aldi are cheaper than Kaufland. Kaufland just offer a wider spread of articles and you can choose more expensive ones. But they also offer the same stuff to the same prices as Lidl. Sometimes regarding fruits Kaufland is even cheaper.
Regarding the prices and ammount of goods, not everyone is able to buy so much, but probably the average of the population can do it once a week. I prefer to do shopping more frequently, about threee times a week, and i get less but more fresh items then, and i prefer eco goods, and i'm a vegetarian. The prices have gone up in the last year considerably (about 40%), especially for food, and so i'd say i spend about 500 € to 600 € a month for two people on it now.
It's been a while, but when I counted up what I spent per month here in Sweden it was about €100. I eat lots of potatoes, pasta and rice, so foods that basically costs nothing.
Still I'm not conviced that Germany is cheap
My goodness, it's really cheap!
3800 € before taxes! so 2500 € cash. Now, what does an apartment rent cost in a large city? 2 room apartment 50 sqm 1200-1500 € per month. Appliances like water, electricity, internet, garbage collection and so on...300-500 € a month.
Now the salary suddenly doesn't appear big anymore, does it?
Someone already said it, but it bears repeating: The average income you looked up is before taxes and other contributions (things directly deducted from your pay automatically unless you're self-employed, like healthcare, retirement insurance, and so on) and only includes people employed full-time. The average income of all those earning money, after taxes and contributions, is a bit under 2.250€ per month.
hi guys!
Kaufland actually is not a cheap store. I only go there for special products. my regular shopping is done in Aldi or Lidl. the stuff you need on dayly bases are much cheaper there.
Kaufland it's between Rewe/Edeka/etc.pp. (more expensive) and the discounter like Aldi/Lidl (cheper) in price.
But they have Discount price produkts too, but if you want tu show the different Produkts throughout
, Kaufland is a good place to show the possibilities and variants for a realistic price,Kaufland isa good place. Like the most people I prefere the smaller supermarkets but for special t.hings, i o to Kaufland, too
Sorry, but the video is not really meaningful and many of the statements are not correct. For one thing, Kaufland is not cheap, there are cheaper alternatives! Secondly, €500 for two people is not something many people in Germany can afford! So don't assume what this person is saying there! And many people in Germany have an income of €1,500 - €2,000 or less!
However, the range in our grocery stores is very large and varied, so you can still shop well even in cheaper discount stores!
If a person earns 1500 euros per month and spends 300 euros on food, that person spends 20% of their salary on eating good and healthy food in Germany. In Brazil, more than 70% of the salary goes on food (not so healthy). I know that there are still other monthly expenses that a person can have, but spending just 20% of your salary on food is already a good start! Peace and love from Brazil 🥰
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Just as an example, which may not be meaningful, but is exactly the same for many people in Germany.
I pay 70% of my income for rent, heating, electricity, water, telephone/internet and other general costs! I use the remaining 30% to buy food. Or for other things that one needs. 😉
1500€? This is minimum wage.
These are more likely to be people who have no training, speak no german or have an low graduation.
Temporary workers or cleaners.
For a normal worker it starts at 2000€.
It is normal here to do an training or to study, everything else is not really the standard.
Getting minimum are not exceptions, there are some who want to work straight after school but that is not the norm.
Trained bakers are underpaid...
During the euro crisis it was more because secondary school students in particular had a hard time getting an trainings position but that is over now, companies are looking again. Especially in the Craftsmanships, they need skilled workers and pay a decent salary.

It's not cheap at all. Most people only have about 300€ left for food for a month after taxes and other living costs, and that is if they DON'T save money. Most unemployed people who get financial social security aid can't make it to the end of the month if they are not buying the cheapest and unhealthiest processed foods.
Wir geben in Deutschland rund 20 bis 25% unseres Nettoeinkommens für Lebensmittel aus, allerdings müssen wir meistens auch bis zu50% unseres Einkommens fürMiete und Nebenkosten wie Heizung, Wasser und Strom ausgeben, der Rest ist dann entweder für Auto oder Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Urlaub und andere Dinge wie Möbel, Reperaturen usw . Das alles vom Nettogehalt, das ist das was Übrigbleibt wenn Steuern und Sozialabgaben wie Kranken, Arbeitslosen und Rentenversicherung bezahlt sind.
Iam German, speak italien, a bit of spanish an france. With conentrate listening i understand you, one time i spend holidays at Lisboa and Lagos, but 2O years ago
That's just BS. Most Germans earn 2.200 € a month (BEFORE Taxing!!!)
Some have higher income, but most workers have low.
Na União Europeia não temos mercearias para clientes ricos. Pelo menos nunca ouvi falar deles. Praticamente todos os clientes ganham pelo menos o salário mínimo (na Polónia é cerca de 1.000 euros e o salário médio é de cerca de 2.000 euros) e podem pagar compras básicas de mercearia pelo menos uma vez por semana.
Germany had for long years the lowest prices for food. Look out for Aldi or Lidl, and you start to understand why. Competition lowers the prices.
Living in the Netherlands near the border, aloud us to do the shopping in Germany too. Also the gas is much cheaper than the Netherlands.
So strange.... A few years ago, my girlfriend and I often drove across the border to Holland (from Düsseldorf), because a lot of things were cheaper there. Now it's no longer worth it...
@@AP-RSI the Netherlands are with some groceries very expensive. Especially after Covid and the war in Ukraine some things are so expensive.
@@babyjane4ever Sorry to hear that. But... you can allways come to Germany! 😉
Even if your unemployed,you can buy all this .We have often been on a budget but always able to buy something extra for the kids.I'd say 350 to 400 Euro plus 50 extra for household items per Month for two people is ok.Since we are employed again we spend about 80 -120 extra for eating out 2 to 3 Times a month. We really like your content😊
the amount of food they bought would last 5-7 days for 2 person.
3800 Euros.... maybe before tax and other fees.
With 3800 Euros after tax you are well above average salary.
AfaIk, the average salary is about 2200 Euros.
Ah... yes. this was a common grocery shopping.
Nothing special.
Have about the same, twice a month.
kaufland is a more expensive supermarket in germany. i go to a special shop here were the sell food that doesnt fit the standard. for example sausages are to short or long and so on, quality is the same, so i pay 3,32 per kilogram for sausages , 2,99 euro per kilogram for salami or around 4 euro for one kilogram of cheese and so on.
Kaufland's prices are slightly below average in Germany. Only discounters like Aldi are cheaper, the other supermarkets are usually more expensive.
It is quite normal
i live in sweden and it is very same here
8:12 in so I am seing the cheese right now. I have brazilian a girl friend from Sao Paulo that is saying, thet she has never seen so much choise of cheese in Brazil.
But keep in mind that the bread in Germany, yes why not but all the cheeses you see is not ordinary for germany.
I live in Luxembourg, so I know exactly what is going on here in Luxembourg but also in Germany, Belgium and France.
France has maybe better bread (disputable) but better cheese for sure.
Here in Luxembourg we have a couple of supermakets with 2 levels where you can go to (the flat elevators are actually done so your shopping cart will stick to it and not try to slip or fall and just going backwards).
Other than taht for now it is really like a big supermaket from here

Deutschland.
I'd say, yes, on the average income it's not unusual to by that many items.
But there is a wide spread in income in Germany and there are actually not many people earning the average income.
For example half of my friends earn around 25k-35k€ a year, that would be around 1600€-2000€ per month after taxes. The other half is about 60+k €. That will result in over 3000€ after taxes.
And my mom's pension is just above 900€ per month, although she lives alone and there for does not need such a big hole on a regular basis.
Fun Fact :
A law in Bavaria say : Beer is a Staple Food

Yes, for me its a normal german shopping
The Salary for Normal Worker in Germany is 2200€ Netto Normal Worker like Buss Driver or cashier in the Supermarket 3,800 With Taxes or Without??
400 -500€ for two people is insane. I would like to see how much of the groceries ends up in the bin. I spend an average of 250€, that is for 4 persons.
You spend only 250 Euros per month for 4 persons? That's 2 Euros per person per day. That seems extremely unrealistic.
German salary starts at 1400 a month. not worry my friends. we all pay a lot for food, especially in switzerland. greets from there
very nice and good video again, thanks

Ok, me and my partner are from Germany and we do not spend roughly 500 bucks a month on groceries, not even close, lol.
Agree! Same here...
I didn't see any real luxury items there. Pickled cucumbers and Nutella are nothing special here. I usually spend around €60-70 per week in total for food/drinks and household items.

I Don't even know how much most of the groceris costs. Me and my wife togeher get around 3000-3500 euros/ month (after taxes). Wife buyes food and I the others like electricity, internet, some(few) loans and insurances etc.
Thank you very much for sharing this. It helps to clarify a lot of things, because when we see information about the cost of living in Europe, it really shocks us a lot because it is very different from what we experience here. 🤯

70% of all your hard earned money just for the food??!?! that is just crazy
Yes, totally crazy. But the reality is that most people don't eat the type of food shown in the video, because if they did it would be almost their entire salary. People choose less healthy food to be able to pay for it.
my boyfriend and I pay something between 250 and 300 euros per month for groceries.
Pickles is nothing special here. Its pretty cheap to be honest. You can get such a glass for less than 2 bucks. This is also grown here and nothing special for us. For us the mango, pinapple and papaya, avocados or even bananas are the exotic things that have to be imported from outside europe. Sure pineapple and banana is in our grocery stores for half a century but it has to be grown in the tropics.
No i know has that much money to spend 400 euro in a month for 2 people. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
And I'm german.
Do you spend less than that for 2 people?
@@3rdworldpeoplereact If i really good look and calculate I need maximal 250€ in a month. Yes somtimes I need more for hygenic products and cosmetic.
But only for groceries we look for weekly prospects and that works fine. In one week there may be a mango for 2,99 € in another week for 1,99. So that works fine. Meat got expensive. And we eat mostly Bio.
So we jingle from week to week.

Olá - Gostava que vocês (oriundos dos chamados países do 3º mundo) pudessem ter os mesmos preços. Não faz sentido que os países "mais pobres", em particular, tenham muitas vezes de pagar muito pelos alimentos e pelo suporte de vida.
Pelo contrário, penso que faria muito mais sentido que os países mais ricos pudessem pagar preços ligeiramente mais elevados (porque podem).
