You’re buying organic
You’ll pay extra
Go to Walmart and buy more with the same amount
So one can pay less for slow death in the West?.. Interesting.

Are you sure, I thought they say it is 500k dollars per second?

Alakoriomo:
But minimum wage in the US is over 500,000 dollars per hour..so he doesn’t need to complain

Bro, you are reasoning with emotions not logic. Americans can afford rent, housing, health with less than 100 dollars. What can a Nigerian salary afford the average Nigerian?
Bottom line: America is better than Nigeria BUT NOT by as much as people think. AND Nigeria is better in some ways, especially if you have money!

Matrix13790:
What is America minimum wage?
Some places $7.25 per hour other places $12, $14, $16
So that's between
$1160 per month - N1,856,000
and $2560 per month - N4,096,000

But as always, other countries spend money BIGLY!
So that N4million will still finish before month end.

Man lament for buying 5 pieces of apple, eggs and tomatoes for 32$ (after taxes). Americans are enjoying but they’ll still complain why?

He's NOT ungrateful, he's saying his own reality based off of his current location.

Just because they are not labeled organic doesn’t mean they are not organic

You just have to pay extra as a business man for your products to be certified organic. So if I have eggs that are grass fed but don’t subscribe it won’t be labeled organic. Also lots of businesses just mix everything sourced from abroad and term them organic even if they didn’t directly monitor the production process

Tyson foods is one of the biggest meat suppliers for example. The same prime cut will cost differently in Costco, Walmart and Whole foods. All supplied by the same company. It’s like expensive clothing brands. Produced in China, labeled and sold in France for 1000x the production price.

You can imagine. This is a country whose minimum wage is over 400,000 dollars per hour
You're NOT serious are you?

The minimum wage varies from state to state in the United States and it's clearly NOT 400,000 USD an hour. It's way lesser than that in single digit or two digit figures.

You obviously do not buy or eat these things. I do. And here are the Nigerian prices:

6pcs Apple N3k
500g Strawberries N20k
500g Blueberries N20k
12pcs Eggs N3k
Ricola N6k (rare or not available in Nigeria)
Total: N52k give or take.

$32*N1550 = N49,600
na lie you lie oohh

6 pcs of apple is 3k
500g Strawberries- 6.5k
500g Blueberries-6k
12pcs Eggs-2k

17500 = $11

Re: Man Laments Over A $32 Grocery In America (is this grocery worth it? by netmillionaires(m):
The guy you are referring to is not okay. His problem is not reading. He is just fond of doing this. He did the same about 3 months again and I explained that Americans don't earn that much until I realize that he is just catching cruise. He is here to do the same again.

The best thing is to ignore him.

Don't mind those people, they don't read,
they open mouth waaaaaaaaaa

This is from Walmart sacramento. With minimum wage you can afford them easily. Can the average Nigerian afford egg of 250 naira now?

Word of advice stay the heck away from Whole Foods. Partner you are paying for that organic label. Trust me at Food Lion your bill will be less than $20, Can freaking get an Amen

Haba bro over 400k minimum wage? The minimum wage is around $7.5 per hour. If that guy is on a minimum wage, he can complain; there are poor people in America, too.
The guy was being sarcastic cos of people that feel everyone in America is more than comfortable.

Meanwhile, another Nigerian got several food items, including a full chicken, in Russia for just 9,500 naira. Yet, some blockheads here keep telling us that Russia is a poor nation where people are starving and cannot afford food.
Full chicken bigger than this in Ibadan bought 7k frozen za tech
