Same goes for cigarettes, used to be 4 guilders, now it's up th almost 5 euro's and those went up 12% in the last year only.
All prices have doubled now , the only thing that hasn't doubled are the paychecks from the company's we work for, that's still half of what we used to get in guilders  |
Thats not because of the euro, but because of greed.
And you still can buy a bread for 1.40 euro in the super.
Sigaretttes gone up because of taxes and are still to cheap.
I'm glad we have the euro.
