Definitely not in America. That would cost at minimum $60.

Wow thats cheap. A head of cauliflower is $4 here. Those tomatoes, probably also $4. Avocado $1-$2 each. I'm in US.

you're probably earning western immigrant wages in Thailand

I’m guessing somewhere in SE Asia, as the San Remo pasta is Aussie.

Edit: zoomed in, the oats are Aussie too.

Post your receipt. That’s at least double your claim.

Thailand huh? If I didn't have kids I'd sell up and just retire there... For now I'll just keep getting chewed up by the corporate train!

Agreed. Possibly South Asia too… but the bag has Thai on it. That said, Kiwis aren’t cheap and the pastas probably add up too. Might be more than 360 THB depending on the location of the market.

It would be $10 for the tomatoes alone in western Canada.

I'm in the US. I just got a ton of avocados at $0.56 a piece. You just gotta know where to look.

In America, if all those are organic, you're sitting well at over $100 of groceries

That dragon fruit would be at least 7 dollars here in Arkansas

Damn, the dragon fruit alone would be 4-6 dollars here

The dragonfruit here would cost that alone.

Ooh I thought this is Thailand based on the brand name when I zoomed in. But then OP said it's Laos. Still on the mark though. Generally us South East Asian have it easy with vegetables. Most of the times they're cheap enough.

Oh man, at least in my neck of the woods in the US, eggs have gone up a fuck ton. 18 packs at my store are going for $8 now, and they're somehow more expensive than the organic eggs, so maybe some of the price is local supply issues, but still lol

Guessing most of the fruit and vegetables in the pic are from Laos, Thailand, or China. "There is a big problem" in northern Thailand now with China dumping vegetables and etc in SE Asia. Thai cabbage farmers can't sell their cabbage for more than it costs to grow it and transport it at present, so are either giving it away or letting it rot in the fields. The Chinese did the same thing with garlic in the US, and I imagine other crops as well. It's what the Chinese do...

All that food and none of it looks slightly deformed, wonder how much the farmers have to throw out because retailers won't take them if they're not perfect. Makes me glad I can buy range of food cheaper that is made up of products that don't look perfect in shape.

Growing them is one thing. Protecting the domestic market enough to sustain production is another. Underpaid cherry pickers on tourist visas help lower costs too.

You know it isn't the US because you didn't buy 3 lbs of carrots and 10 lbs of potatoes. I literally don't know if my grocery store sells single carrots.

RedditSlate01 t1_j214dev wrote

This is very purchasing power parity comes into play, is $9.99 very little money to you? Like what would the average wage be in your area to get a better sense of the real cost.

To Americans with even a federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour this is like impossibly cheap.

Though! If someone is making significantly less than that it gives more perspective.
