MealBudgetFood prices in Germany
251 everyday groceries, priced in EUR from shelf readings at named supermarkets. We haven’t reached 16 more items here yet, and we’d rather leave those blank than guess.
Cooking one dinner from scratch in Germany costs a median of 10,23 € a serving when you buy every pack the recipe needs, across 83 recipes priced at Germany supermarkets. Prices read 5 Nov 2026. Planning the week so meals share ingredients brings that down, because the packs you don't finish are a large part of the bill.
