Ukrainian singer Anastasia Prikhodko decided to show how the purchasing power of the hryvnia changed. She conducted a home social experiment: with a completely empty refrigerator, she went to a supermarket from 5,000 hryvnias to buy products for her family of six people.
The artist posted the video with unpacking purchases in Tiktok, emphasizing that earlier than $ 100 could bring home 4-5 full packages of products. Now - a completely different picture.
“ I ate the last I had in the fridge. Now there are eggs and mayonnaise. But it's not food. She took only 5 000 UAH. And now I want to see with you what happened, ”Prikhodko addressed the subscribers.
In the video, Anastasia shows packages with foods: bread, sausage, cheese, meat on borsch, chicken lower legs, herring, vegetables, some bacon, cheese, sour cream, cookies, some candy and even mackerel. The list also included four kilograms of chicken stomachs and bones for PSA.
“ After all, I have 440 UAH. It's just a horror , ”she sums up.
It seems like a lot. But, given the number of people in the family, it is a maximum of a few days.
Subscribers of the TikTok-page of the singer immediately recognized themselves in the situation:
- "We have more expensive now than in Europe, unfortunately";
- "It is also easier for me to pay a loan than to collect a basket in the store";
- "If it were not for products, it would have been repaired for a long time";
- "Did you take everything?"
Judging by the reactions, the singer's experiment was a very accurate reflection of today's realities.
Anastasia Prikhodko gained popularity in 2007 after the victory at the Star Factory show. In 2009 she represented Russia on Eurovision with the song "Mom", which she performed in two languages. However, after the beginning of the Russian aggression, she publicly abandoned all the awards of the Russian Federation, volunteered, performed on the Maidan and switched exclusively into Ukrainian in his work.
She is now actively involved in public discussions, and her household experiment is another way to pay attention to how the life of a regular Ukrainian family changes in difficult times.
