Speaking as an Austrian, German groceries are absurdly cheap in north Germany and still cheaper in the south than in the surrounding countries. The store chains say that it's because Germany is such a big market that they can offer anything cheaper.
Yeah we have a grocery delivery business here in the Netherlands that has really low prices and I've heard it's because they ship in a lot of the food directly from Germany. Kind of insane to me that it's cheaper to cart in food from another country than it is to just get it here.
Meanwhile in Italy we buy Dutch tomatoes
