A "thinner" with 10 euros for the crisis?

10 euros - a small red paper. What can you buy it in Germany? Skukozhilas it during this crisis year, or 10 euros in Germany - still the money?

If you believe the wife, sister, neighbor and his own subjective feeling, that everything became more expensive. If you look at the statistics - nothing like that.

Discounters are fighting for my 10 euros

Even if you are stuck to the mailbox stern warning "Advertising does not throw!", You still sketch a drawer full of brightly colored leaves with a screaming headline: "Another price reduction!" The stores Aldi - pork chops for 3, 79 per kilo, at Lidl - coffee 2, 49 per pack in the regiment, Plus - milk for 0, 89 euro per liter. Next week - just the opposite: a retail chain would reduce the price of oil, the other - on bananas and the third provides a chocolate Santa Claus: 200 grams for 79 cents. If you follow the great offers, at 10 euros a piece of paper is growing.

Many Germans do so. Watch the ads, compare prices and weekly purchase. And not only those who are in need. If you look at the parking lot at discounters, standing there with BMW and Mercedes and luxury SUVs. Long gone are the days when purchased in cheap stores was considered lower self-esteem. Why pay for expensive shop on the corner of 2 and a half euros for three kilograms of potatoes, when cheaper for the same money you get 10 kilograms? So consider how many potatoes you can eat for 10 euros. And not like a potato - 8 euros you can buy a dozen fresh French oysters.



10 euros for the Christmas market

Christmas markets in most towns are closed on December 23. And, for example, in Berlin, many work before the New Year. Let's take them as an indication of how many are eating and drinking in the streets and in the rest of the year. For 10 euros you can eat 4 hot dogs with buns. Sausages are very large and even quite delicious. The notorious American hotdog compared to them only on the soles and good. Do not want to sausages, can take three servings of fried mushrooms. For the same money you poured 4 cups of mulled wine. Or 4 glasses of beer. Music, good humor and a hangover - free of charge.

The McDonald's now immortal Hamburger costs 1 euro, Cheeseburger - also 1 euro. For 10 euros you can pretty fat. But in a normal restaurant with 10 euros in your pocket is better not to look. But Vietnamese eatery on the corner offers a dinner to pay 8 euros is from the belly. A Turkish diner near the University of poor students offer a slice of pizza for 1, 5 euros.



10 euros for the stupidity, without which it is better to do (but not on New Year's Eve)

10 euros a bottle of vodka "Russian Standard". Unpretentious German schnapps - at half the price. In the same ten euros you can buy 3 bottles of sparkling German - call it champagne prohibited. Tolerably dry wine can be bought even five bottles. Or a box of beer - 20 bottles.

Cigarettes rose. If last year to 10 euros could buy 2 packs, but still a cheap lighter in addition, it is now necessary to refuse from the lighter. All smokers who are going on a visit to Germany, the advice - do not stock up! Baggage can be only one block. A tightened controls at customs. Has risen in price and gasoline - a liter costs 1 euro 30 cents: that the 91 th, 95 th. So for 10 euros will not get far.



And you can, of course, do not eat, drink, smoke, do not ride on the machine, and to put 10 euros a spray, in the smoke and roar. New Year's on the way. At the same discounter 9, 99 Euro is a family-run set of fireworks: Chinese firecrackers, sparklers, firecrackers 10 pieces, five or even seven missiles. However, feeble firecrackers, rockets ... hilenkie sparse leaves fireworks.
