Does Everyone Know How Badly We Are Being Ripped Off By Big Food - Big Bag Of Groceries - $14 Euro [View all]

Same bag would be probably $45 US in Seattle.

We are being robbed.

As if no one knew.

The cashier showed me the 14 euro on the screen, and I didn't want to give her a $20 euro in case it was a lot more.

It was really that amazing.

Like $17 for a big bag of food.

Man.
