Learning to shop for everyday stuff in Brussels

Hi all.

I am from Mumbai, India and have recently shifted to Brussels with family.

And, the prices are killing me.

Bananas and apples cost the same. Coca Cola costs more than pilsner beer. Prices of clothes and shoes make me shudder. Simple non-veg frozen items have become items of luxury.

I think the solution is to stop the rupee conversion. That will take time. Till then, the adjustment goes on.

Wish me luck, guys.

Regards, Allwyn.

Good luck Allwyn  :top:
