00:00More and more Belgians have been crossing the border to go shopping in France.

00:06That is because of Belgium's steep inflation rate, which is one of the highest compared

00:10to its neighboring countries.

00:12I compared it once, I saw the difference, and then we see that everyone comes here.

00:18So here, the same, much cheaper for you?

00:20Yes, yes, yes.

00:21Are you sure?

00:22Yes, I'm sure.

00:23I don't know how much.

00:2414.

00:25In Belgium, it's 6.41 euros.

00:26It's double.

00:27So I take two, it makes me a free one.

00:33Despite having to pay for petrol, many shoppers still notice they are making significant savings.

00:39Still 200 euros apart, it's worth it for gasoline, 30 minutes on the road, we've still

00:44struggled a bit with the crisis, so you have to pull a bit here and there if you want to

00:50go on vacation.

00:52On an average shopping basket of 100 euros, Belgian shoppers save almost 30 euros in France.
