Well, Romania should do this to
Serbia is joining in this Friday as well. Last Friday saw a general strike that impacted shopping, while this time, the focus will be on boycotting major grocery chains and the largest suppliers of certain goods.
Is there a large difference
Bulgaria is even worse, but we are too lazy to take any action together.
just buy your groceries in germany
We should do the same in Slovenia.
They stock before boycott?
This is quite a display for the rest of Europe on how society should fight against societal discrepancies. Coordinated actions by the population. This is what they sell us, people have the power, the headlights of democracy, but in the end, people have very little power if they don’t act. A great display from Croatians
And we should continue to do so.
The fact that the price of groceries keeps going up while our salaries remain the same is bad. And this doesn’t just apply for grocery chains, it also includes caffes and other establishments who know no limit when it comes to greed, regardless of where they are established and how much traffic goes through. See this:
1000€ = 7534 HRK (roughly)
With the HRK back then, you could still buy a lot of things when prices were normal BEFORE the introduction of Euro. The buying power was somewhat alright (depends on who you ask).
Years later, the salaries remained the same after the implementing Euro, but prices skyrocketed. The buying power got reduced. In our minds, when we had 100 HRK in our wallet, there was something to look forward to when you entered a store and could buy a lot of things. Today it is different. To quote my professor: “Yesterday’s 100 kunas is todays 100€.” This is how things are bad.
When we had the Kuna currency (HRK), the ratio of low-middle class paychecks and the prices in the mentioned establishments was somewhat normal. When Euro was introduced, it was told that some prices would get circled, quoting our prime minister Andrej Plenković about the coffee price “being a bit more expensive by 1 or 2 lipa”. 2 lipa being 0.26 of 1 Eurocent. That is not the case, because prices jumped. A little cup of coffee with milk was 7 HRK before at a local caffe. When Euro was introduced, that price when converted from Euro to HRK jumped to 10 HRK, 2 years later 13 HRK for the same cup of coffee. What the fuck?
Another example with these grocery chains was the time when they were crying about how the taxes were too high and that is why the prices skyrocketed. It was promised to them by the government that the taxes will get lowered on some of the basic goods for everyday use. You can guess what happened. The taxes dropped, grocery chains increased the base price of these goods. These fucks are nothing but a cartel and should suffer on a daily basis. To hell with them.
Wow when did it become a whole week?? I thought we were just gonna boycott every store, coffee shop and pump in the country THIS friday
Everything east of Vienna is Europe on hard difficulty. (Nordics excluded)
I don’t even talk about Hungary lmao
This country **SUCKS**
Why only for a week, if the prices are high?
Sweden pls
I understand the pain, even though I live in Denmark. I know, we have it fairly easy in many ways, but we also pay 43% more than the EU average, highest prices in the entire EU. I know that Danish wages are higher, but as someone not exactly in the top income bracket, I can really feel this.
Does anyone have an infographic or statistic about the price difference of basic stuff from the same store, in different countries?
The only thing that has not changed in price after the coming of euro in 20 years, has been the price of Red Bull in my country.
…I love the idea in theory, but how do you guys do in practice?
I could buy stuff from the farms, but it’s a looot more expensive than the stores. Is the problem that it’s the opposite in Croatia?
The real way to protest. As a french, I’m impressed.
On friday its the same boycot as we had last week, no buying at all ANYWHERE. Groceries, movies, clothes shopping, hairdressers, online shopping etc…
Additional thing that was decided was to boycot **LIDL, DM and Eurospin** for a whole week starting from today. Cocacola products, bottled water and detergents are also boycoted for a whole week.
The times I went grocery shopping in Croatia I found the pirices to be a little higher than Italy but not drastically.
Have things changed in the last year or so?
Well fuck me, im visiting Croatia in 2 days…
I saw a €3.2 cucumber in a regular grocery store in Lithuania. That mf better turn itself into a salad on its own and do the dishes afterwards with that kind of price
I get that for many people shopping is like an addiction and they must gradually wean themselves off it but this protest is getting unnecessarily overcomplicated.
The profit rates of grocery stores is usually 1-3%.
Even if they have a 10% profit rate, it wouldn’t account for the price.
There’s so many things that impacts the price of the goods at a store, why do people think it’s the stores themselves? In the other thread I just got downvoted asking for proof, and I got random conspiracy theories, instead of explaining why they think it’s the stores fault instead ofthe government/ fuel prices/ the companies providing the products.
