My friend in Germany sent this to me. The price is €0.75 per can after a discount using the grocery’s app.
I looked up the price locally for me (Washington state, hence the asterisk) at the Kroger-affiliated Fred Meyer, and it was on sale for $23 for a 24 pack of Budweiser. That boils down to €0.81 per can.
*In the title was to acknowledge that Washington state is expensive and I’m sure elsewhere in the country you could find a better deal. But for my little corner of the country, the title holds true.
**My fellow continent-dweller pointed out that our 12oz beers are actually 355ml, and the 330ml can is smaller. Proportionally that brings the price down to exactly €0.75 per can from my benchmark. Add that to a TIL for me.
We have laws in Germany to enforce and ensure there are non-alcoholic drinks that are cheaper than beer.
And in the US people get exploited at the supermarket cashier for almost everything anyway.
Aren’t those laws only for restaurants, bars and similar locations?
Yes, the point was more of an example to show how cheap beer is in Germany.
0,5 Liter Oettinger Pils is available for 0,50 EUR.
Leider echt stimmt
