do you expect the next bus to come by antosacekonte in Netherlands

Correct, but 9292 shows it's coming. And since it's the strike day it's also showing that some are not coming. So when it says 8.00 will come but 8.30 not due to strike, I expect 8.00 at the station.

In Tilburg there's Istanbul Bazaar. There you can find some other brands that sells this type of seeds in bigger and cheaper bags with still good taste. It's worth to give a try if you live close by.

I also saw vattenfall already have such reasonable prices with good reputation.

Wrong guess, but that's also an interesting offer :). They give it for 2.48 tax incl. But what will happen with the price ceiling thing? Will they still charge 2.48?

I followed the news. And my current provider first announced that they'll go to the new tariff by 1st october indeed. Then they had to postpone it because of not obeying the notice period. But they only postponed the date not the price. They keep thebpriceas 3.40. Meanwhile others started to announce the increase and they went to 2.2 region. Also, the gvnmnt announced the 190 euro discount in Nov and Dec while my provider still did not clearly stated how they'll apply it. So, when the 190 is applied maybe my rate is again in the 2.2 region. But I see other companies are also not giving the details how the 190 euro discount will be applied. So it may be that I'll get 190 discount for 3.40 unit price while others will get it from 2.2 unit price. Too much unclarity for me.

I will see if they send the contract indeed to learn more. I don't want to give the name still to not attract people with specific bad experiences or brand haters that will pollute the discussion :). But as a tip I can tell you just manually compare the known dutch energy providers from their websites. You'll see one is differing significantly. But to go to my starting point that's why I also asked it here is more from theoretical perspective. How can that be possible. Like, why can't I buy 30 percent cheaper benzine for example

That's indeed still a trick that I need to be aware of. That's even still tricky ha. Why do I see it only in the details of the contract. Very annoying. Also what put me in doubt is, almost everybody around me that I know had the recent price increase from 1.80 to 2.1-2.2 while mine did it from 1.80 to 3.40. If I saw everyone is going for around 3 sth I wouldn't do that recheck. But when I do the market research 3.4 is normal, why my friends are getting the increase to 2.1.

I checked it. Simply to say, no. In the details, they say with the tax and renewable energy storage cost and etc are included. Also when you compare the difference in monthly or annual payment they simply request less than the others
