Dutch supermarkets prove cheaper than Belgian, contrary to politicians’ claims

Dutch supermarkets are not more expensive than Belgian ones, despite recent claims by politicians Pieter Omtzigt and Jesse Klaver. A detailed investigation by Follow the Money, based on a comprehensive price comparison of over 11,000 identical products at Albert Heijn stores in both countries, found that Belgian shoppers pay on average 2.75 percent more than Dutch consumers.
