50 People Show How Much Groceries Cost Where They Live (New Pics)

$3.93 but how much is that as a % of their daily income? If your daily income is $4.00 that's expensive. Edit here: Average daily income in Kenya is $3.20

Under $4 for all of that?! Wow.

Fresh cabbage, potatoes and carrots... now if there were only a corned beef or a ham...

do you know how expensive ginger is in South Africa? R115 per kg! $6.16 per 2.20 Lbs

That looks lovely - proper vegetables, those carrots especially, yummy.... 😄😄

It is expensive because they have very little other than fish and meat that is local, and due to the Jones Act, it is very expensive to ship products there other than by truck through Canada, which is also expensive. Alaska would not be expensive if it wasnt for the 108 year old outdated Jones Act

I had an aunt and uncle who went there during the pipeline days. The first time she went grocery shopping she cried through the whole store over the prices.

Living in an area where no agriculture is possible, comes with downsides.

I lived in Barrow, Alaska for 2.5 years. Groceries were outrageous there (it's the northernmost us city - 1000 miles from the north pole - everything flown in or cargo ships when the sea is not frozen) and it wasn't as expensive as that. A 12 pack of Pepsi is $14 in Barrow to put in perspective. $109 fir that is insane if true.

Everything has to be brought in via aircraft. I hear that's a problem with Hawaii too.

Midwest here. This is accurate. A full shopping list can range from 100-200 easy

This is a great haul! I love Aldi! Great prices on produce and meat.

Good value there.

You can get a lot at Aldi or Lidl. They are German stores owned by brothers.

Not much basic food, lots and lots of highly processed stuff. What would be seasonal and locally grown, there?

Damn. That would cost about $300 or more where I am.

Wow that's a lot of stuff.

CHEEZITS 😋

There is not 48 pounds of meat on that table. I'll do guesstimations clockwise from bottom left: Sausage, 4 lbs. Chicken tenders, 3 lbs. Ground turkey, 3 lbs. Shrimp, 2 lbs. Roasts, 14 lbs. That's 26 pounds. Even if I'm off a little on the weight, I'm not off by 22 lbs. What am I missing?

I'm curious why they need 48 pounds of meat!

I'd pay quadruple for kitty

I did not know that Aldi sold cats. I shall have to go more often.

Your cat looks very displeased with your purchase.

This doesn't look that cheap, but it comes with a free cat! Bargain!!!

I mean the cat is worth at least $156.87 normal street value so this is a steal. /j

I have an Aldi next to Walmart where I live in WI. Have never been to the Aldi but on Friday I got 7 items from Walmart that was about $45.....going to start going to Aldi

Healthy, nice mix

where i live the avacados would cost that much /jk

Not too bad!

Used to go to Aldi once a month. Prices were great. Went to Aldi the other day after not being able to go to one for a long time. Wasn't impressed. Can get most stuff for around the same price as the local grocery store. No sense driving almost an hour.

I traded a garage door opener I couldn't be bothered to install for a deep freeze for my garage. I stock up on meat when it's this cheap and bags of frozen veggies. I also got a food saver (vacuum sealer) off eBay to make smaller packages. Excellent investment if you're lucky enough to have the space.

They closed all of the Kroger stores here in NC a few years ago. I wasn't surprised because they were expensive on a lot of stuff. Harris Teeter is so expensive. A Publix opened in Burlington a couple of yrs ago. Haven't been there yet because Lowe's Foods, Food Lion and Walmart are all within 5 . miles of me.

Had to been on sale. Went to Krogers and bought a package of 6 thighs of Tyson, Cost me 6/7 dollars for that one package. This was in Indiana.

Must be on sale for being a year old

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it guys so it's the wig shop it's always been the way shop

Come on guys, why is In_the_gorge being downvoted? This site is miserable.

Wow that's a lot of fruit and veggies.
