[-] index@sh.itjust.works 45 points 3 months ago

isn't 100euro to much for this?

[-] scrion@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

That is way too much, organic or not. I'm aware grocery pricing has gone up, but 100 bucks is a total ripoff.

probably

but it may also look a lot less because there is no packaging material (compare this post)

edit: i forgot to remove something i already ate from the final price, so its 97€ now

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Way, way too much. 100 euros buys you three to four bags of food from LIDL.

With grocery prices like this it's getting tempting to give up my career in IT and take up subsistence farming.

Like the dev of neofetch all over again

[-] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That is an insane amount for this little food.

[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

Would you mind posting the receipt for this? I'm curious how much each item was.

[-] quantenzitrone 10 points 3 months ago

I get like 75ct discount in total because I am there frequently, so don't bother reading every Rabatt. There is also one popsicle on there, which I didn't include in the 97€ because I ate it in front of the store.

In addition to this, I also included (bought from other stores):

Bread: 6,60€
Oat milk: 3x2,79€
Gherkins: 6,99€ (i should stop buying these, they are wayy overpriced)

Bread: 6,60€

This bad looking bread cost 6€ ?!? I can buy 6 baguettes for this price.

[-] quantenzitrone 3 points 3 months ago

But why would I want baguettes? It's just very long white bread. No nutrients and barely any tase.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

BAGUETTE, BARELY ANY TASTE ????

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I'm 100%here for this outrage over bread

[-] quantenzitrone 0 points 3 months ago

While baguette can also be whole-grain, I don't think whole-grain baguette costs 1€ a piece. White bread tastes terrible.

Have you ever eaten german whole-grain spelt or rye bread? TBF, I haven't eaten French baguette either.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think you are understimating the quantities of different bread you can find in our boulangerie.
There is about 40k boulangeries in France.
Whole-grain bread big advantage is a longer conservation, it doesn't taste like paper even a week after being bought unlike a baguette, but it's still best when fresh. The whole grain bread cost 2.3€ here.

I don’t think whole-grain baguette costs 1€ a piece.

Whole-grain is cheaper than white bread, white bread was actually a luxury before moderns time.

White bread tastes terrible.

Are you comparing a baguette with a regular white bread ?

Have you eaten something else than german bread ?

It's from a shop in Germany and the product is called Black Forest Tofu, shouldn't it be Schwarzwald Tofu?

I thought Taifun was a German company as well.

Hard to tell value proposition. How many adults will this feed for how many meals?

[-] quantenzitrone 7 points 3 months ago

Only me and, IDK, 2 Weeks? But I also go to the Mensa and will also probably buy another bread next week.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

There's no way you'll live 2 weeks of that and not be on a massive calorie deficit.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

As he mentioned. He also goes to a Mensa(maybe in an University), where you can usually eat relatively cheap.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Check their dumpster first next time. Or just start a garden.

[+] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz -11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Organic products make no sense. It's a waste of recources and land and the end product is totally overpriced.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago

Sir, may I introduce you to the importance of soil health and biodiversity?

Also, its still not entirely clear how healthy it is to eat pesticides(AFAIK). Yes, it is less efficient, but that's the only fiel it falls behind non organic farming.

[-] SpaghettiYeti@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Call me crazy, but I don't want PFAS and cancerous Monsanto chems in my food..

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Just because its organic doesn't mean it isn't contaminated by these chemicals that are literally everywhere now
