Quick self-test is 8€ here in Belgium. Are we being ripped off?

Sounds like it.

Last I paid was 1.75 euro in DM (Germany). I remember buying them at 0.99 in LIDL.

In the UK, you can get free 7-packs of LFTs from most big pharmacies or online from gov.uk.

Although it looks like you need a (free) "collect code" at the moment (because we ran out a couple of weeks back, IIRC.)

Prices have gone up sharply since the fourth wave in Europe. I remember seeing self-tests for 0.85 in summer. Now they‘re going for 3.00 bucks or so.

I've seen them at Colruyt for 3,50EUR, the rack is usually empty though, but I've heard most supermarkets sell them at this point.

A little googling around European online pharmacies says yes.
