A certain portion of consumers in Serbia has been dissatisfied for a while due to the high prices of groceries in supermarkets. Some products, such as chocolate and coffee, have become a luxury. In stores of a particular retail chain, a 300-gram chocolate bar cost as much as 1,000 dinars, which shocked consumers.
As a result, many have started comparing the prices of basic food items in Serbia with those in neighboring countries and Europe. Recently, a young man posted a video on the social media platform TikTok from a supermarket in Amsterdam.
On his profile “mek.fluri,” the TikToker revealed the prices of basic groceries in one of the most expensive cities in Europe.
As the young man explains, a kilogram of bananas in a store in Amsterdam costs around 200 dinars, just like in Serbia. A liter and a half of milk costs 150 dinars, while in Serbia, the price ranges from 150 to over 200 dinars depending on the supermarket and manufacturer.
When it comes to meat, it is somewhat more expensive in Amsterdam. A kilogram of chicken costs 1,300 dinars, while in Serbia, you have to pay around 500 dinars, which is a big difference. However, beef costs 1,600 dinars, which is a small price difference when compared to our supermarkets.

A significant price difference exists when it comes to chocolate. A 100-gram bar of a popular chocolate brand in a supermarket in Amsterdam costs 120 dinars, while the lowest price in Serbia is around 200 dinars.
As the young man adds at the end of the video, the prices of groceries are very similar. However, the difference in earnings between Serbs and Dutch people is huge. The average salary in the Netherlands is three times higher than in Serbia.
