I've grocery shopped in Berlin a few times and spent half of what I am accustomed to spending for similar items in NYC. The price difference isn't even that drastic between New York and grocery stores in other parts of the country.
Right now London is much more affordable for an american than in the past. The pound is very weak with Brexit. Otherwise, I agree with others, most of western Europe seems to have lower restaurant and grocery prices than the US. And quality is generally much higher in Europe.
