Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate
lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 2 months agoI looked on the shop website of a national supermarket of my country and it offers (without discount) Gemüsepaprika (that seems to be the translation of bell peppers) for 5,30€ per Kilogram… A kilogram is probably 7 or 8 of them… But as I told before: I’m 1 person, not a whole family. There is no way, I put a kilogram or even 3 of them in there…
Maybe, it’s cheaper here. Supermarkets try to sell regional stuff, if available.

No, a kilogram of bell peppers is about 3-4 peppers. These things are massive! 5.30€ is about $7.80 Canadian. A bit cheaper but not much.
I don’t know if you have a lot of greenhouses in Europe. Here in Canada we have some but nowhere near enough to feed the country. We import a lot of vegetables from California and Mexico. Can’t always grow locally when there’s a metre of snow on the ground and the air is -10C or colder for 6 months.
