    Germany is actually well known for having very low grocery price

    English language article that mentions this though the main subject of the article are the " true price of groceries including climate costs: https://www.dw.com/en/the-true-cost-of-germanys-cheap-food/a-38976477)

    This is largely done by price dumping the suppliers and low balling the workforce (as much as German labor laws allow) <- I’m aware I have no source for this I will try to dig one up tomorrow when I can

      I didn’t know that! Along the roads though there were a lot of Apple trees and my friend I was visiting said that’s commonly a thing to plant them along roads there so that no matter the situation someone can have access to food…I really liked that!
