Where is it Cheaper?! Comparing German and American Drugstore Prices

- During my last few days in Germany, I thought it’d be fun to document some of the prices from a popular drugstore here (Drogerie Markt, also known as dm) and compare them to similar product prices in the USA.
While I wasn’t surprised to see how Germamy stacked up, I was really dissapointed to see just how bad inflation in America has gotten.
Whenever I return to Germany, I’ll be sure to b-line for dm and stock up on my favorites 😉
Now that I’m back in the US, my content is most likely going to shift from Germany related content but I hope y’all still enjoy! I’m excited to move to a new city and start a new job soon and I hope I can still make time for producing videos :)
Till next time!

Walgreens and cvs get you for convenience! Toiletries at a grocery store is normally cheaper (but not cheaper than Germany)
With drugstore products, and especially with deodorants, you have to make sure that they don't contain any fragrances that have to be declared because they reduce the beauty of the skin, i.e. you get dark armpits over time. They are usually called linalool, geraniol, hexyl cinxamal, limonene. If the word perfume appears in the ingredients, that's a good thing because then you can be sure that fragrances have been used that have no negative effects. You could even spray them on wounds or in baby's eyes without anything happening. If the word is missing, they contain fragrances that have to be declared. Keep your hands off!

Are sales taxes included at Walgreen (maybe not) .. Well, Germany and DM is known for good prizes
@@rairei sales tax is not included at Walgreen’s - that’s another good thing to remember when comparing!
Have you also included the taxes in the US? In Germany it is the final price...
@@Steeler-wg5zo Some states in the US have sales tax and others don’t, so I didn’t include it. But that would give Germany another leg up for sure!
3:36 maybe for what’s marketed towards women- men’s care had much fewer brands in Germany than America (though of course one can use whatever)
@@TurtleStormer Huh! That’s good to know!
@@TurtleStormer you mean like Target or Walmart? They are probably cheaper but Safeway for sure is not 💀☠️
@@LaurenMarie32300 Safeway no but like stop n shop or any local chains as well as target/walmart
Too bad you didn't buy more toiletries in Germany. 😥
