Romanian Influencer's €14 Grocery Haul Ignites European Price Debate
Bucharest, Romania - Romanian lifestyle influencer Oana Roman has sparked a widespread debate on social media after posting a video detailing her recent grocery purchases, which she deemed "very expensive for Romanian salaries." The video, uploaded on January 16, 2024, shows Roman presenting a small selection of basic items—including a bottle of milk, a pack of butter, six yogurts, a bag of Nesquik, and three bananas—totaling 70 Romanian lei, equivalent to approximately 14 Euros.In her video, Roman directly addresses her audience, stating, "I found it very expensive compared to salaries in Romania. What do you think?" She further challenged viewers to consider "what you can buy in another European country for the sum of €14," specifically mentioning France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.The video quickly garnered significant attention, accumulating over a million views and thousands of comments, many from users across Europe. Commenters echoed Roman's concerns, with one user from Belgium noting, "about 6, 7 euros in Belgium, that's what it costs." Another from Denmark shared, "Lurpak butter in Denmark, in December, cost 5 lei on sale, I stocked up in the freezer." Conversely, some users from the UK and Italy suggested similar price points, though acknowledging higher salaries abroad. "In England now with £14 you get a loaf of bread £1.85, £4 butter, £2.80 10 eggs, £3 4 yogurts and £6 coffee," one comment read, highlighting the perceived disparity. The discussion underscores growing public concern over the cost of living and purchasing power in Romania compared to Western European nations.
