When criticism of Capitalism is verboten, something else is always mis-blamed for the problems it creates.

As was the case in the USA, in NL shopping at 'ethnic' markets tends to be a lot cheaper than the mainstream grocery stories.
Example: Today my wife came back from our local 'ethnic' grocery with a whole chicken (1.3kg) for only 6 euros. (about 1/2 price to our local AH).
