RE: Шампанско за смет? Champagne for Trash?
I see your point :) Still, well, given the prices for the same products are usually much bigger here, I suppose we also pay for the deposit anyway, but there isn't such a "custom" to return it. We aren't there yet :)
Many people aren't happy here, because it is really easy to compare the prices for the same products (especially in Lidl, here about the half of the stuff is made in Germany). Dairy products are +30% - +100% sometimes. Probably not the best comparison but the main voices say - "see, in the normal countries 0.25, here - 0.02 EUR".
Some say - Bulgaria is a small market, not fair to compare to bigger ones, and costs of transport must be added on top (no tax or extra VAT as we're all in the EEA). Then, however, I compare with our neighbor, Greece, similar market in size, and the prices in their Lidl are again, much better than ours. Quality of the Greek products... unfortunately it is always better that ours :( From time to time we go to a city in Greece that's about 120 km from our house and even with the high gas prices it's still cheaper to load groceries for two weeks...
Probably I should've called the product from my link a "sparkling wine", champagne is probably a trade mark? With such a price I bet they don't pay royalties :)))
I am sure drinking up a bottle of this one would guarantee headaches on the next morning! :P :D
Thank you and... cheers! :)
Yes, champagne is always made from specific grapes in a specific growing region in France. The one I mentioned to you, for €21, is a cheap offer at ALDI. Really good champagne costs €75 upwards on average. And it doesn't cause headaches at all! Still, it's not ‘my’ drink, if I have a choice...

With us it depends how much you receive back on a bottle but ..you only receive back what you paid for. So you pay for the drink + the price of the bottle (glass or plastic or can).
During my childhood the milkman delivered at home in glass bottles but I doubt we paid for those bottles. We simply have them back (cleaned) as he delivered the new order.
We did receive a refund for the glass bottles (just milk, yoghurt, custard, buttermilk and beer nothing else) about 30-35 years ago. No machines but a human collected them.
If you ask me this problem counts for most countries. Back then as the EU started they told us every product within the EU will cost everywhere the same.
No way. Shopping in Germany is at least 30% cheaper, same for Italy and if it comes to Lidl it's by far not the cheapest supermarket.
Even Malta is cheaper although this is an island which beats me. Also we deal with empty shelves and fewer products unlike Malta, how come?
