Oga you lie, as far back as 2017, I was collecting $15 hourly in Canada. So presently $16 to $28 for just casual workers doing low jobs in USA
First and foremost I hope you understand the meaning of the term "minimum wage" ?

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

But this guy complain just for $32? Why are some people ungrateful
A dozen eggs for almost $10 bucks when you can get a dozen somewhere else for less than $2? huh

Our home grown natural foods that we normally eat are called organic abroad. These foods are the most expensive abroad while the modified ones are pretty cheap. In Nigeria ..it is the reverse ...we pay top price for modified apples ... beef ...chicken etc ..the foods that flies and insects totally ignore. This guy is buying natural or organic foods ... so he has to pay top dollar. Maybe he just walked into a Natural Foods Supermarket and thinks it's just another common supermarket where he would be paying wayyy less for the same products....but of a wayyy inferior qualify.

This is not America product. This is Canadian grocery as seen by the eggs. It is a PC Canadian product.

We can choose to learn ...or continue spitting ignorance. As some pointed out before....with evidence...the minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour.... the least you can pay an employee anywhere in the US.( A few exceptions apply). Each State can decide to set their own minimum wage ...but it must not be less.(Exceptions apply). Many States have raised their minimum wages to various amounts above $7.25 ...for the State of New York... it's $15 per hour .

The solution is agriculture but efforts and resources have been diverted from agriculture to tech, media and war for money forgetting that sufficient food production will eliminate most of the problems in the world today,
Same issue has been transferred to Nigeria and Africa, GenZ has abandoned Farm for TikTok , YouTube and Tech money, who is going to produce your food ? it’s not like we embrace mechanized farming, neither is manna falling from the sky, practically we still import highest percentage of our food and this have implications on the value of our Naira too

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.

If you run into a store for just pepper, you can't come out with nothing less than $50 in that tiny single plastic bag.

Na so una del deceive una self!
Minimum wage in America is $7.25 which is =N=11,600..
If it's 400dollar per hour then everyone will be millionaire over there .

Nigerians are always fast to say something that will tarnish the image of their own country without even finding out for reality first 🥇

You can't find $2 eggs anywhere, not even the white eggs.
Regular brown eggs start from $4 and the organic around $7.

We purchase pack of 60 eggs here at the Walmart for $7.98. 🤔
Re: Man Laments Over A $32 Grocery In America (is this grocery worth it? by Wyttcat: 4:25am On Jan 01, 2025
I have to see that to believe it. Though I no longer get food at Walmart, but that's too cheap for even white eggs. I saw white eggs today at Aldi and they were $3.99/dozen, and Aldi is supposed to be the cheapest grocery store with almost everything you need within reach.

The 60 eggs box is sold at Walmart or Sam's Club, not Aldi. undecided

get a life and stop trolling. He went to an high end store to buy the most expensive items.

This is from Walmart sacramento. With minimum wage you can afford them easily. Can the average Nigerian afford egg of 250 naira now?
It seems things are cheaper here in the UK. A crate of 24 eggs is £5.99 at my local store here in Sheffield—not even Tesco.

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?
You're reasoning without reality, Nigeria jagajaga hence why nothing surprises most of us but imagine Nigeria was a great country and you still dey earn the lowest of the low income, you go happy? You go happy if someone came up to you and said $32 on groceries is nothing, you should be grateful?

Yes national minimum wage and so? I live here in Texas before you will start arguing! Most people here get paid $10/ hr so?
Tell me who pays $400,000 per hour!
And where in my comment did I say someone pays $400,000 per hr? That is how people end up in endless useless arguments. You go and import information from elsewhere that has nothing to do with the post you quoted.

It is important to specify it is national (or federal) minimum wage because minimum wage across states are different. Some states adopt the federal minimum wage, but most states don’t. I am only saying if you must correct, provide accurate information. If you say minimum wage is $7.25, that is incomplete information that may mislead.

You started the new year with useless comment and inability to comprehend. You are obviously not following the thread you just jumped from nowhere to show yourself!
The moniker @Alakoriomo said that minimum wage is $400,000 per hour. My question to you was in reference to what he said! I never said that you made the comment. Unfortunately you cannot understand because like I said you just jumped into the thread.
Yes federal minimum way is $7.25 but some states pay more like you said.
Again tell me who pays $400,000 per hour in America?
