Leg of lamb in Monoprix - around 30 euros, Dove deodorant, over 4 euros, grotty looking lump of stewing steak in supermarket, 15 euros. Satsumas worked out at over a euro each. Cannot find children's pyjamas for less than 16 euros. And don't get me started on the overpriced and scrawny chickens. I know that part of this has to do with the exchange rate and the French propping up and subsidising the farmers, but I go to the supermarket for a few bits and end up spending 50 euros on not very much at all. Rant over.
