[Closed] What A Week Of Groceries Looks Like Around The World

Don't fancy the Chad-spread: Bag of sand and a bottle of water.

American's is just wrong.

The methodical lay out of the German shopping made me laugh.

Is that french girl going to eat the cat?

I thought exactly the same about the German layout.

Mexico looks pretty healthy, till you spot the ten gallons of Coke and beer hidden at the back!

why has the British food been superimposed onto a family shot from the early 80s?

Yeah noticed that too.

The Australian family don't exactly look a picture of health.

The most common themes seem to be weetabix, pizza, bananas and coca cola.

A Scottish week of groceries would have made an interesting photo.

Chad and Mali are eye openers for sure - so its more than about average incomes (Asian and Latin Americans do OK as plenty of fruit etc) but sub Sahara is a tough environment.

Bananas seem to be a common theme and the Germans drink the most beer.

Those are only individual families though, I'm not sure how typical they are. The French one only has one bottle of wine for a start.

Although the beer in the German one is quite telling, but they've also got four bottles of wine. I've counted 28 pints of milk for the UK one - how typical is that? 😯

I don't think you can read too much into the western ones, but the big difference between developed and undeveloped is the variety of products. Some of them must be having the same foot basically all the time. The Ecuadorians are having the same meal every day by the look of it.. and bananas at all other times. And how many onions for the Indians?!

We'll seeing as they didn't do one for Ireland, I will.

The Germans seem to win the beer competition.

these pictures don't look very 2013, not the western ones anyway

Alot of fresh food going on there, until you see USA and GB, all packaged stuff with minimal freshness

The Sunday Times ran some of those photos in their magazine about 10 years ago IIRC, including how much they spend.
