Edible oil still and still!

A photo from an Edeka in Stuttgart causes great amazement.

But there is an expected catch.

Stuttgart - For a long time, many cooking oil shelves in Germany were emptied.

The background is well known: panic buying on the one hand, delivery bottlenecks as a result of the Ukraine conflict on the other.

In the meantime, the offer has probably improved noticeably - which even causes strange behavior on some shelves.

Only the price makes some people break out in a sweat, reports BW24.

Edeka in Stuttgart has large quantities of cooking oil - but the price is hefty

The entire development can be marveled at in a photo from Stuttgart that ended up in the Jodel app: the bottles are lovingly arranged (even on a wooden crate!) in a supermarket.

That must be many dozens.

The opposite of the empty shelves that have often been observed for a long time.

A paradise for edible oil buyers!

"Great," laughs one user.

"Sunflower oil - the new flagship." Where else the special offers are supposed to pile up, the large quantities of oil are now waiting in the supermarket for buyers.

Sounds great, but at second glance it's not.

Because many take a closer look and discover the price tag: the store charges 4.99 euros per bottle.

"5 euros old", "5 euros a liter is so absurdly expensive", "5 euros.. Wtf.. who's going to pay for that", "5 euros for shitty oil.

Oh great,” marvels the users.

And where is it now, the supposed oil paradise in Stuttgart with the big catch?

Someone wants to know that too - and gets an answer.

"Edeka im Gerber." All of this is of course not confirmed, especially since the app is used anonymously, but there is also nothing to indicate a fake.

While some are still amazed at the photo and the price of cooking oil, a user who says he earns his money in a supermarket speaks up.

"I work as a temp in retail.

Last week a pallet of NoName brand sunflower oil arrived for 4.99 euros/l.

The pallet was empty within 3 hours.

People just haven't gotten it yet.” So the oil hoarding seems to be continuing.

And supermarket customers suddenly pounce on another product.
