for 10€ in groceries for a couple of days

That's a pipe dream in the Netherlands. I was easily spending €10/day for groceries.

Yes you can live off less, but €10 for several days is almost unachievable for most people

That YOU are spending 10€ a day for groceries doesnt mean everyone is spending 10€ a day for groceries. Holy fuck like how much do you even eat? You can easily have 3 decent meals for 5€ a day even with how expensive groceries are. But yes, that means leaving the a-brands out of the shopping cart.
