Most of the fruits and vegetables are Bioland certified, and most of them are from a local farm near Heidelberg. The melon and obviously the bananas are not from Germany.

The Bread is organic whole-grain spelt bread from a local bakery. The grains are probably also local.

The oat milk is from organic locally (Baden-Württemberg) sourced and produced oats.

With grocery prices like this it's getting tempting to give up my career in IT and take up subsistence farming.

Would you mind posting the receipt for this? I'm curious how much each item was.

[–] quantenzitrone@lemmings.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I get like 75ct discount in total because I am there frequently, so don't bother reading every Rabatt. There is also one popsicle on there, which I didn't include in the 97€ because I ate it in front of the store.

In addition to this, I also included (bought from other stores):

Bread: 6,60€
Oat milk: 3x2,79€
Gherkins: 6,99€ (i should stop buying these, they are wayy overpriced)

It's from a shop in Germany and the product is called Black Forest Tofu, shouldn't it be Schwarzwald Tofu?

I thought Taifun was a German company as well.

Organic products make no sense. It's a waste of recources and land and the end product is totally overpriced.

Sir, may I introduce you to the importance of soil health and biodiversity?

Also, its still not entirely clear how healthy it is to eat pesticides(AFAIK). Yes, it is less efficient, but that's the only fiel it falls behind non organic farming.

Hard to tell value proposition. How many adults will this feed for how many meals?

[–] quantenzitrone@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only me and, IDK, 2 Weeks? But I also go to the Mensa and will also probably buy another bread next week.

There's no way you'll live 2 weeks of that and not be on a massive calorie deficit.

As he mentioned. He also goes to a Mensa(maybe in an University), where you can usually eat relatively cheap.

Check their dumpster first next time. Or just start a garden.
