Here are some prices fo food over here in Romania. 1 kilo of rice... 2 Euros 1 kilo of flower... 1 Euro 1 kilo of sugar... 1 Euro Chicken... 2-2.5 Euros/kilo Pork... 5 Euros/kilo Beef... 5.5 Euros/Kilo Turkey... 5.5 kilos Milk... 1Euro/liter Patatoes...0.85 Euros/kilo Carrots... 0.85 Euros/kilo Salad... 0.85 Euros/kilo Spinach... 2 Euros/kilo |
We spend about 300-350 Euros a month on food.In case anyone wonders what the same costs are in America...In USD (or about 0.7 Euros to the dollar)
1kg of Rice = $1.10 - $1.25 (bought a 20lb bag for $10 a few weeks ago)
1kg of Flour = $0.50 (about $1.25 for 5lbs)
1kg of Sugar = $1.00 (about $2.50 for 5lbs)
1kg of Chicken = Varies by part (legs and thighs are about $2.00 per kg, whereas breasts are about $4.00 per kg and wings can cost up to $5.00 per kg)
1kg of Pork = $3.50 for most pieces. Bacon is more.
1kg of Beef = $5.00 for ground beef, and can vary from $5.00-$20.00 USD depending on cut. A good ribeye steak is about $15.00 per kilogram, but you can get very nice meat for $6.00 per kg.
1kg of Turkey = As low as $1.00 - $1.50/kg. Cheapest meat we have. Some cuts can be expensive like processed cold cuts at $5.00 per kg or turkey bacon at $5.00, but a whole turkey is around $1.00 - $1.50 per kilogram.
1 Liter of Milk = $0.60 (we buy by the gallon, so about 4 liters for $2.49, but can be on sale for lower than $2/gal at some stores)
5kg of potatoes is about $5.00 USD. They are unbelievably cheap, and even cheaper in bulk. I've seen 50lb of potatoes (about 20kg give or take) sell for $10.00.
Carrots = $2.00 per kg
Salad = $2.00 per kg
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
