Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

          Apparently so. €760 per month is the minimum monthly wage in Portugal. Works out at less than €5 per hour if you assume 160 hours per month which seems very low. For reference, Ireland is €11.30. While cost of living is higher here you can still pick up a full uncooked chicken for around €5 depending on the shop.

          Local supermarket here does 4 chicken legs for €2.55.

            A whole chicken in the US costs between 12-16 dollars depending in weight. The price literally doubled over the last couple years

                About 5-6 pounds. Bigger ones get close to 7 pounds. So like 2-3.5 kg

                Before Covid they were 99 cents a pound, now it’s about 2.50/lb

                  Thanks. Yeah that is a big assed chicken for Ireland tbh but it’s still more expensive overall.

                  I feel like you guys have been badly burned by price gouging. I remember seeing a thing on Reddit about egg prices skyrocketing and they had barely budged here so I found it odd.

                    The price of most groceries have at least doubled. I can still get store brand eggs for about $1.50 a dozen but other brands are easily 3+ dollars now. Meanwhile supermarkets are posting record profits.

            This is correct.

            The kg of raw chicken here is currently at 2.34€ at the two biggest supermarket chains, a whole chicken is usually 1.5kg.
