Wait I forgot to mentioned that included delivery to my door (which was $1.10)

Comments on this are wild. Americans saying it’s cheap, Chinese people saying it’s too expensive. Idiots saying it’s made with lead. Some saying I’m exploiting labor. Others saying I’m doing the Tucker Carlson in Russia bit and that locals are broke Great stuff all around

@EricHovagim And the funny thing is you are in the most expensive city in China.

@octal Most expensive city and a fairly expensive supermarket. Can’t wait to check out tier 2 and 3 cities

@EricHovagim Why buy groceries in China? Just dine out! Or takeout 🥡

@m_a_x_w_u every local here has told me the same thing, and it's totally fair. we had friends over for dinner though

@EricHovagim Did you rob the place

@8RUTALIST The delivery driver who hand delivered it to the third floor must’ve

@EricHovagim Is that gutter oil 😂

@atomic_aura_1 Modi is a loser and Israel doesn’t love you back

@EricHovagim Probably full of lead.

@BlackLabelAdvsr Idiot living in the American century of humiliation

@EricHovagim And that's even expensive, in Saudi you would get all that and keep some money. Breakdown of Saudi costs Any green leaf 🌿 0.5$ 1 kg beef 5$ Milk or what ever 1L 2-3 $ Chicken 5$ each Beef 1kg 5-10 $ depend on quality Juise and what not 1-3 $ each

@sosotutu2000 i know this sounds insane, but my Arizona tax dollars subsidized the alfalfa that's fed to saudi cattle, so you're welcome https://www.nytimes.com/2023/1...

@EricHovagim @ChatterHasanabi Did you learn mandarin before moving or have you been able to get by with translator apps etc? I’m curious about escaping the collapsing American shithole

@ChatterFrogan @ChatterHasanabi Translator apps, my mandarin is basically nonexistent. Gonna start going hard on learning this week

@EricHovagim bro where's the soda and frozen pizza??

@Lennaraudt Best of all, they have most of that too. It’s harder to find, but I’d say at least 50% of the Amerifat stuff is available

@EricHovagim Damn, why they accept dollars?

@tibbiritabara It was like 300ish RMB, or about $45ish

@EricHovagim US $’s?
