I haven’t seen a milk in a plastic bag for more than 20 years
Not expensive actually.
The only question is a quality, if it is good then I would say it is very good catch.
ATB forever
Milk in a bag is weird but pelmeni, yum!
that seems expensive for the items.
Forget the milk in a plastic bag, but smetana also?!
Is “smetana” sour cream aka kisela pavlaka?
how would 10€ worth of groceries look like in eastern Ukraine?
Is it common in Ukraine to measure milk by weight instead of volume or is it a shrinkflation thing so it doesn’t need to be 1 liter for the same price?
Wait, milk in a plastic bag is weird? I live in Estonia and we’ve always had this. Also yoghurt and sour cream in a plastic bag.. I thought that this is normal 😀
smetana!
Is 20 % the standard VAT rate in Ukraine? Do they only use one rate like in Denmark?
How much the prizes increased because of war?
Well, butter is the most expensive product here… I think. 82% Molokiya costs enough (and it tastes good). Or maybe pelmeni is the most expensive…
My cyrillic isn‘t very good but does that read smetana in roman letters?
If so, it‘s the same word in finnish.
Bulgarian here. A 500g. Pack of Pelmeni would land you here around 5€. 400g. Cheese is another 5€. Loaf of bread – 1€. 1l. Milk is generally around 1.5€ and the cream is the same price for 200g.
So, less than all you got and already 40% over the budget.
Sidebar: I really love your table cover, it’s gorgeous 🙂
I’d love to try Ukrainian pelmeni some day, I bet they’re delicious!
We’d only get the bread, milk and butter in Australia.
Lol, was gonna do something similar but cigarettes added in.
820 грн (€20) buys you a sleeve (10 packs) in UA.
In Ireland about €16.50 (640 грн?) buys you a single pack.
Pint of Guinness is also cheaper anywhere in Ukraine than it is in the majority of Dublin pubs. And in fairness to the barmen, good few of em know how to pour a proper pint… it can be a gamble though, I’ve seen a few abysmal pints poured.
Isn’t that expensive
Bro, you need to eat some plants!
Cheese and pelmini are quite expensive. You can get much more for 10$ if you wish to attending markets rather then a shopping center and buy more veritables and raw meat, especially chicken. But yeah, prices since war started raised a lot.
Are those white things in a bag, pelmeni? I absolutely loved them in my childhood, but I cant find any proper recipe for them.
Your receipt says you bought 612 g of onion (цибуля), not 400 🤓👆🏻
Thanks for sharing! Groceries have really gotten expensive in Ukraine huh
180 g of butter. Is it normal size in Ukraine or is it another example of shrinkflation? In Poland 200 g is normal but sometimes you can grab smaller sizes. Long time ago 250 g was standard (hello old recipes with “1 kostka masła” written).
But most infuriating is 90 g chocolate.
Given the average monthly salary in Ukraine (google search says around €500), it’s very expensive for the amount of food that you got there.
Fuck i want some pelmeni now
Do they do glass bottles for milk in Ukraine or, alternatively, can you bring yours and get it filled?
Obolon beer? 🍻
Wait so things haven’t skyrocketed by the war? Is the state subsidizing?
Just googled pelmeni, that shit looks delicious! Got a nice recipe?
Colourful and vibrant ayeee
It’s honestly the same in Sweden. Don’t trying to take away anything from this post though, war must be terrible.
That tablecloth is wild!
And the floor, and… and…
I’m in Hong Kong. A bundle of 5 bananas and a box of grapes set me back 12 euros.
900gr of pilmeni is all I want
What are those round dumpling like things in that clear plastic bag?
Pelmeny yum yum. Legendary dish 😎
It seems like pretty much what you would pay in Germany for the same (except the imported Pelmeni can sometimes be more costly), but it must still be pretty expensive for the lower wages in Ukraine. But then again, that’s still a smaller price hike than what some countries experienced during wartime.
That’s about how much I’d get for $10 at a grocery store in a major metropolitan area in the US.
Looks grim, to be honest.
Make your own dumplings. Jesus, how can you eat store bought ones.
Копійка гривню береже!
Holy shit that’s expensive (when taking average salary into consideration). I sympathize.
