Very nice comparison, good job!
Thank you 🙂
The biggest difference here should be the VAT applied to groceries in Austria and in Slovakia, in Austria its 10%, whereas in Slovakia except a few exceptions (like baked products, i guess thats why the baguette was cheaper from Slovakia - the VAT was the same) the VAT is 20%, so double that of Austria ...
Good to know, thanks for the info! But not so good in reality for SK 😅
The Lidl app is the same for everywhere- you just need to go to settings and change the country / language. I do it all the time when we travel through Europe 😊
When I visited Vienna, first thing I noticed in shops that is different is that to get pastry out of that damned thing is like playing those machines where you have to catch a toy and you will never manage to do it and when you get it with your hands, someone will start yelling to you even when you touched just your bread and nothing else. 😀
It's super funny for me to see that you have the same problem, at least I know I am not completely stupid. 😀 It's not complicated, but firstly you have to discover what to do, it's like you are 3 years old again. 😀
BTW, I don't know if you heard about double quality, what they do is that the same looking product is mostly worse quality and more expensive for Czech and Slovak market. With some products, you barelly find any difference, but some other products have really extreme differences, what they sell here is like feeding for dogs. I don't know how bad this problem is in Slovakia, but here in Czechia, it's a massive problem, people who live close to Germany drive to German supermarkets, it's very often even cheaper because Germans live in communism with limited prices of some products.
You should also know that better looking or better tasting product doesn't automatically mean better quality, very often it's exactly vice versa.
I heard about this “double quality” when I arrived in Slovakia, I was hoping this wasn’t true, but it seems to be the reality. Is there a way to know which products are impacted most?
@@palmacate The vast majority of those worldwide corporate products have double quality, even coca-cola is different for our market, Fanta in Czehia and Germany is something completely different, our version is orange like nuclear waste, their is more natural looking.
But I heard that they have the same problem even in UK and USA, so it's not only about former eastern block, it's maybe some cultural thing that we are just used to eat shits, the same as Americans, so these companies just exploit it, becasue we complain, but we will eat it anyway. 😀
But with some products I tested, I would say it was a myth that it's better in Austria, like redbull for example, maybe it's different, but it looks and tasters the same to me.
True :) I’ve heard that a popular brand of cookie, in Italy has healthier ingredients than in the USA (where it has way more sugar!)
After the slovakia take Euro in 2008 the prices get instantly up like 20 to 25% , but the quality is still lower with the same brands in former communist states and the west still don´t care .
Bratislava is the most expensive town in slovakia so the prices differ from the rest of the country .
The cheapest prices are in Poland like 25 to 30% cheaper and slovak are buying mostly there if you live nearby.
Slovakia is the most rural Eu country and people are farming and saving on food .
Prices got up with € also in other countries (in Italy as well), but in the last year or so prices went up again with higher inflation, and Slovakia was impacted quite a lot, right?
Thanks for the info about Poland, then it’s good for people living nearby its border 😊 and happy to hear that in the rest of Slovakia prices are a bit lower!
@@palmacate yeah we had higher inflation but western product are made in west Eu and still are more expensive here.
The only problem with poland is that the food quality can be a problem ,they had a lot of food scandals .
Same in Portugal. Median salary is 1000 euro per month, but grocery prices are same as northern EU countries like Germany. All changed after adoption of Euro.
@@bhojjadamotabanda got it, thanks for the info! I was also not expecting that, I thought Portugal was cheaper overall!
@@pb_8206 Ouch, hopefully it improves with time 😊
Ciao.. anche io vivo a BL... ma come arrivo ad un salario medio in Austria die € 50.000,-??? fammi sapere grazie!
Porovnávanie by bolo ľahšie, kebyže ste si všímali ceny za kilogram, napríklad pri čučoriedkach bola cena za kilogram uvedená v Rakúsku aj na Slovensku. Banány rovnako... U nás musí byť cena za kilogram, prípadne za liter uvedená pri každom výrobku (ak sa nemýlim). V Rakúsku je to zrejme tak tiež...
The same in Hungary. We remained colonies of them, second-class citizens in the EU.
Yeah east europe is new colony of west. Once we will stop this colonial tastes of west.
@@881terrorproblem is that we love buying it anyway. It would help if we stop.
But we caused this by ourselves, we sold everything to Germans in 90s and then we are surprised that they cheat us when they have almost monopoly on market. We entered capitalism in 1989 and we immediatelly started breaking all rules of capitalism, we created German supermarket mafia, we created phone operator cartel mafia and many other examples. We sold our water companies to French (Veolia), so now some bagguette eaters can increase price of water here.......ofcourse I know that some companies were destroyed after 40 years of communism and they needed foreign investors, I am not that stupid, but I still believe that state did a lot of mistakes during selling these companies, now it's too late, we own nothing.
I am really watching situation in Poland with hope, because they are trying to do something with that and Polish companies are growing and invest even in other countries. But will Polish owners be better than Germans? I don't know, but I will be definitelly more happy if that money go to Poland than to Germany that already is rich.
Sľúbil nám Fico lacnejšie potraviny a energie - sľúbil. A čo sľúbil vždy dodržal :-) Už si len počkať ako na diaľnicu do KE.
Nejlepší bylo u nás když jel Fiala nakupovat do Německa, od tý dobu se mu řiká Pan Nutella protože s šokujícím zjištěním zjistil že tady stojí Nutella 2x víc než v Německu. Politici jsou odstřižený od reality protože maj lidi na nakupování a nevěděj kolik co stojí.
@@Pidalin Tak Fialu by som neprirovnával k Fico, ale áno - množstvo politikov je odtrhnutých od reality.
