Prices for Fruits and Vegetables: Belarus and Lithuania

The "socially oriented" state again fell into a pitfall.

- Someone is very fond of talking about the "socially-oriented" state, which takes care of ordinary citizens from morning to evening. We compared the prices for fruits and vegetables in the shops of "wild-capitalist" Lithuania and "crystal-vessel" Belarus," writes the telegram channel "Belarus Golovnogo Mozga."

For convenience, the prices were converted to Belarusian rubles. We selected products of similar quality. However, anyone can conduct such research at their leisure. The Internet allows.

As a result: if you buy a kilogram of each item of goods, then in the conditional Vitsebsk you will have to pay 23.22 BYN, and in the conditional Kaunas - 15.09 BYN. The difference is 8.13 BYN or 2.59 €.

In Belarus, the minimum wage, according to official information, is 400 BYN. The minimum wage in Lithuania, after taxes, is 468.41 € or 1474.13 BYN.
