TV host Joj Alexandra Orviská she belongs to well-known women who don’t put a napkin in front of their mouth and say what they think without embellishment. Recently, on the social network, she was foaming at the mouth about a topic that worries most Slovaks. Orviska was dialed up by food prices. The last straw was a purchase in a well-known shop in Bratislava, which focuses on local and artisanal food.
Her mind stopped at the fact that she paid 5.5 euros for a fish spread. „We have long since passed the prices that are set in absolutely huge metropolises. And what saddens me the most is that we don’t have the salaries for that. So I don’t understand how these people want to live,” remarked the indignant jockey. The presenter also compared the difference in prices in Slovakia and the USA, where she alternately lives.
“I have to say that food prices are much lower in New York, because what I see here is often still shot in euros, so it’s cheaper there and even in dollars. Also regarding apartments. I’m looking at bigger houses now, so I think it’s incomparable. So, if I can say about myself, maybe in the last 10 years they have increased my salary a day by a few euros. But those prices in Slovakia are increasing at a dizzying speed. I don’t understand it, I left 13 euros for a spread, pastries and three yogurts, just five things,” the presenter shook her head.
The video did not go without a reaction, and followers referred her to shop in regular chains. Orviská emphasized that she does not normally shop at well-known artisan food stores, and not because she is stingy, but she finds it absolutely wrong to pay the amounts they ask. “Even when I go to the regular shops, even there it seems terribly expensive for how much people earn. I wonder if someone pays taxes, health insurance, social insurance and earns maybe a thousand euros, and pays rent and happens to not have two or three jobs or a partner, then I don’t know what those people can make a living from,” she thought.
She further enumerated that a person also has to pay for the journey to work by public transport or refueling and parking the car. “You actually won’t even get to that job yet and you’re already in the red, I don’t know, 10 euros a day, when you eat, maybe have a coffee. After all, these are terrible costs for how much we earn,” added the dialed-up Orviská.
The presenter stuck to the topic of high food prices the next day as well. She had to buy raspberries for her son Jonatan, whom she has with ice hockey player Jaroslav Janus, and she was not left cold again. “Honestly, our son is not cheap. Or rather, everything is extremely expensive,” complained the presenter, who wants to treat the little athlete to a supply of fresh vitamins.
