How many days and for how many people are these messages?
“For me and my two teenagers aged twelve and fourteen who are currently insatiable. The 2 pounds of onions, butter and mayonnaise will last longer. But the dairy, cookies and fruit will certainly be gone within two days.”

Are the current price increases affecting the food you buy?
“With two guys growing up, I don’t think it’s a good plan to cut down on food and drink. But I’d rather buy that croquette from the fishmonger. It tastes better when cooked in front of you. But I would definitely go there right now, pay double. and that’s too much for me. “

Do you buy cheaper brands?
“It depends on whether there is a difference in taste and that it differs depending on the product. But instead of pears and bananas, I would prefer to buy berries and blackberries, for example. But the main price you pay now, for 200 grams of enough. tasteless fruit, I’m from Sweden and there you can pick them yourself and pay a fraction of that price per kilo and the taste is incomparable. Call me spoiled. “

Do you ever visit a Swedish supermarket? Do you see the same price increases there?
“Yes, it’s the European Union too. But my family lives outside the big city. You go straight to the farmer to do the shopping. Because you don’t have an intermediary, it’s cheaper and it really tastes much better.”

“Another difference: Swedish supermarkets seem more family-friendly. You buy larger packs. 1 or 2 kg meat is standard. Here in Amsterdam the houses are obviously smaller and you can’t lose anything. So in the end. Sweden costs less in terms of food because it is bought in larger quantities “.

If prices go up even more, will you look for a cheaper supermarket?
“I don’t think for all products. I think it makes sense to invest more time in shopping by doing business in various stores.”
