Potato Prices Shock Brest Shoppers: Washed vs. Unwashed Debate

In a Brest supermarket, a video captured the surprise of a young boy and his grandmother at the price of potatoes. Washed potatoes cost four rubles per kilogram, while unwashed ones cost 1.5 rubles. The boy's reaction, "Four rubles for such a small potato!" highlights the impact of rising prices on consumers. This price discrepancy reflects the added cost of processing and highlights the economic pressures faced by Belarusian consumers. The incident, filmed in a local Euroopt supermarket, is indicative of broader concerns about inflation and food costs in the region. The video's widespread sharing on social media underscores the public's interest in these economic issues.
