Price comparisons: Item USA Australia Germany UK Switzerland Ground Beef - 1kg $9.55 $8.76 $8.60 $6.53 $22 Eggs - doz $2.99 $5.33 $3.25 $3.26 $5.73 Tomatoes 1kg $4.60 $7.05 $2.85 $2.85 $3.61 Coke 2l $1.99 $4.31 $2.87 $2.90 $3.66 Lindt 100g $3.29 $4.37 $2.85 $2.85 $2.80 In practice, I find shopping in Germany to be cheaper than the above suggests, because theres a lot of discount supermarkets around such as Aldi and Lidl. Im not going to list the price of beer because I think it would upset too many readers outside Germany. Another odd thing I discovered was that there was horse meat on sale Manufactured in Switzerland from meat imported from Canada - the thing Im puzzled about is what actually goes into manufacturing meat that can be done in Switzerland!? So the moral of the story: While in Switzerland, eat Chocolate, Cheese and Vegetarian food!
