@@kathyscoppettuolo4203 So you almost had accident driving a car once. Therefore, your god must exist. Don't you think we need a bit more evidence than that, Kath? Your god "watches" millions of young children die of cancer and starvation every year, and does nothing. Children who'll never grow up to have kids of their own. Either your god is an uncaring monster, or he/she/it doesn't exist. Which of those two options is the correct one? I can't wait for your reply.
It was a wise choice to knit your husband that scarf. It looks warm and I think anything you make yourself lasts much longer than anything you could buy in a store. 🙂
I didn't see your video for a long time. The last i saw you had a dog that had to get an operation. Thank you for your videos, it shows that all people have a lot in common.
@@jerrylee4485 Imagine? Why should we "imagine "? Russians earn, on average, about 25% less per month than Americans. While food prices in America are 300%-400% higher, than in Russia. No imagination necessary.
Food is expensive everywhere in the world. The crash of the ruble will definitely hurt you later so stock up now if you can. I spend about $500-600 a month here in Texas at a cheap grocery (Wal-mart). The prices are up about 40-60% in just a year. The manufactures are making products smaller as well. Ritz crackers are so thin now that peanut butter breaks it into pieces while spreading. Gonna get worse I think.
With food tariffs(later in the year), and tax/consumer tax and grocery they already passing in our red state :( ; I have no idea why they insistent in passing these bills here, especially when lot of us are prety poor; and small % of rich people which gets tax cuts. Food is going to rise for sure; I'd say by the time we hit 2028, food prices will be doubled by then; if we lucky, all depends on if "corporations" want to pass on the price hikes, which those tariffs which they have to pay; gonna be some scare years to come.. If you plan to buy anything expensive above 1000-5000+ .. Buy it this year of 2025, before price hike is added in 2026 or so, so save a couple hundred or 1000s $$$$.
I v seen a couple days ago when buying a grocery at russian mini market an old lady she was liturally shocked by skyrocketed prices and wondered for what reason 😂.
Since Trump was elected, I've already noticed that prices are lower. Ice cream that was $9 a half gallon is $7 at the same store. Coca-Cola was $9 a 12-pack. I just bought it for $4.99.
Man, between your channel with videos like this and a few other Russian vloggers who do shopping videos, I've really leaned how to conver the price of rubles to dollar LOL. at least these videos have always been educational for me
You shop differently than most couples in the u.s. Most men only get to push the cart, and sneak some candy or chips in quickly if wife isn't watching. The wife compares ingredients and prices and put into cart. Men only get to push cart or reach high and get things for wife.
What a great insight into prices in Russia. Alex is like myself, love my sweets and biscuits 😂... Am sure you're aware that prices are 4 to 5 times cheaper than some countries 😮 Though your salaries are 4 to 5 times less, i believe. I've been to Russia many times in the past. Your angliyskiy is Otlichno!! You both seem like lovely people as per my previous experiences with russian people. Am now subscribed to your channel Spasibo bolshoye Paka
I feel your pain…my husband eats too many sweets daily while I have to control sugar due to diabetes. All I see around me is cake cookies, candy, cola, chips…there’s NO support from him! Anyway, sugar is very bad for the diet and causes illness to all organs in the body. I wish he would listen to me but not so far. 😕
I switched to simple mills brand sandwich cookies and they are almost as good as Oreos but healthier with less ingredients. However I usually only eat two at a time. I stopped all cakes and pastries. I also like Catalina Crunch keto cookies and they are also much healthier and lower carb.
The scarf turned out great👍🏼his hat looks very cool too. Granny Smith apples make good pies , I like them cut up with peanut butter😂. If Alex keeps eating all the treats you should take out a big insurance policy on him🤣😂. It’s good the prices are stable for now, hopefully they stay affordable. 🙋🏼♀️
Your prices are cheaper than Italy. E.g. Apple 1,52€/kg Lemon; 3,65€/kg Orange 2,50€/kg Carrot: 1,50€/kg Potato; 1,20€/kg Caffe: 21,00€/kg (in capsule 33,30€/kg) Rice: 2,50€/kg 10 eggs: 2,30€
Expensive when compared to income level, in Russia the average salary is 300-600€, while in Finland an unemployed person gets 1200€ per month and the average salary is over 3600€
To be honest prices are rising everywhere and have been since the end of the Pandemic . Luckily the UK is not as expensive for food as a lot of countries but there is a noticeable increase .
Prices look to be about 20-25% lower than a German discounter (for example the Spaghetti). That means a much larger percentage of a Russian's take home pay is going on food. Some of the items like the foreign made alcohol cost about the same as in Germany. That is a very expensive bottle of Jack Daniels if you are earning the average Russian wage. It would be like the same bottle in Germany costing €80.
Following your channel for long time. Noticed that only few months ago you had much more in your cart for $ 56. For all the groceries that I see, that is very expensive. I see only potatoes, water and sweets, now, not for average pensioner. It is sad that governments in all countries are playing Gods and average person suffer. May the mighty Lord look over you. Bless you, beautiful people. Anyway, absolutely adore the scarf on Alex's neck. Gorgeous!!!
The Jack Daniels bottle listed at 19.99 is 46.99 at our local Costco membership warehouse store. Can someone explain how a product made in the USA, shipped to Russia is almost 150% cheaper in Russia? The oranges were 200 in Russia per kilo. I just paid 1.40 per pound. Why are food prices in the USA 2-3 times higher then Russia?
Prices are low in Dollars or Euros. But what kind of salaries do Russian employers offer? Poland where I live is hardly more expensive. But the minimum salary is slightly above 700 Euros per month.
Maybe we should compare taxes at the same time? Yesterday I paid the heating bill for the previous month. I have a one-room apartment, which I own. I live alone, I am a pensioner. The payment came to 831 rubles. I refused to pay according to the meter - I pay according to the established tariff. I regulate the temperature in the apartment like all Russians - by opening or closing the window. If you add to this the cost of electricity, water and garbage removal, it will come to approximately 2.5 - 3 thousand rubles. Now decide for yourself - is it expensive or cheap, good or bad..🤔
I don't think you get it. The average Russian wage is 23,000 rubles a week, or $227USD/ $216 Euros. Those grocery prices are about half the price we pay here in Australia and our average weekly wage is $1,180USD / $1,124 Euro. Those Russian grocery prices are horribly expensive for the locals!
@@AUNZAnon you have to actually have to get out of Moscow and St Petersburg and you will see that things are much different in the other cities and villages where the pensions are about 300 USD $. It’s a different Russian East of Moscow.
The real increase will appear closer to Christmas. The goods sold now , had been bought before the collapse of the Rubel . Problem is , that Rubel collapsed not only in relation to dollar , but also to Euro , British pound, Indian rupiah and Chinese Yuan . So wherever Russian companies buy foreign products , they need much more rubies then before .
years ago I was a greengrocer and in the UK Granny Smiths are also an eating apple because a lot of people like a harder sharper apple , the main cooking apple in the UK is the Bramley but Granny Smiths are also used for such .
@martingregory9881 interesting I'd never heard of that one. My dad, if he was still around might have. He and my uncle found a new variety growing on one of their trees and got the rights for a time to have a red delicious variety named after them. Look up , Bisbee red. Now I think it's called a Stark Crimson.
For someone in the West, the prices look quite ok but when you consider the average wages and especially the pensions in Russia they are really very high!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe ❤
Average annual wages 2023: US above 80k USD, Germany 62k USD, France & UK around 55k USD, Russia 1,240,000 RUB (at the current FX rate 11k USD, i.e. 1/7 of the US wages) - keep this in mind when you compare prices and blame your president
Thank you for that advice. Though as a Russian I have difficulty expressing how ridiculous it is: this so called "collapse" is a joke, the same as this whole ridiculous channel!
@@amare_naturam Exactly! The whole 13% of them in Russia vs 40 to 60% in EU and Canada! As well as the level of indebtment in the West: like how about the recent "interest rate explosion" there! Does anybody have a story to share?

Keep in mind the average monthly wage in Russia is $500. So the $6/kilo for the salmon would be like $50 for an American who averages $5000 a month. Two pounds of salmon at Costco is about $26.
А живете вы в своем доме или аренда, налог на недвижимость 0,3% от стоимости как в России, электричество 4 цента за киловатт, медицина и образование бесплатное?!
Looking at your prices makes me believe a few thousand super rich men set all the prices across the earth because they are all about the same. But, I did like your price for a dozen eggs of $1.20.
What are you talking about ? The same prices ? Do you have a brain ? Then use it . Eggs for $ 1, 20 in russia are much more expensive for a Russian who as a teacher earns around $ 800 per month , then the eggs in Great Britain at around the same price , but my earnings are $ 3200 a month . Never compare only the price of a product in different countries . You always must compare , how long you have to work in different countries to earn the money to buy the product . Then you see that the eggs in russia are 4 times as expensive for a Russian then for me in England . Even when the price is the same
They don't have dozens in Russia, they do it by 10s. Considering that they make ~$15k/yr and Americans make ~$70k/yr... Americans spending ~0.30-0.40 cents per egg compared to Russians ~0.12 cents, is a MUCH BETTER DEAL, lol.
Although you say apples are about $1 for 1kg- that’s actually about $5 in the real US market, when you compare the value of money along with it. Most average Americans make 5 times more a week than average Russians.
Nah, that's more like a half to maybe third if you really stretch the numbers. That water is probably $10 worth; potatoes, maybe $20 bucks; 40 eggs, probably about $12 bucks; apples, probably like $5 bucks; the frozedried fish, really no clue, but its local, so maybe $10-20 bucks; probably a kg of grapes, probably $5 bucks; pound of ground turkey, let's so $4 bucks; the tentacles, I really have no clue, but i'd guess 5 a container, so $10 bucks; block of Palermo cheese, maybe $2 bucks; two containers of sour cream, probably $5 bucks; two things of cat food, probably 2 a pop, so $4 bucks; thing of cottage cheese, probably $3 bucks; packs of black tea, hard to say since we don't really use it here, but i see similar packs for sale for 2-5 bucks, so that's probably somewhere between 5 and 20 bucks worth, so let's call it $15; miscellaneous sweets, let's call that $10 bucks. So, grand total in the US: 10 20 12 5 10 5 4 10 2 5 4 3 15 10 = ~$105 bucks TOTAL Let's round up and call it $110 to account for bad pricing on a few items... skrewh it... let's just call it $114 even. As compared to ~$57 bucks in Russia So, double $57 is $114... let's call it $115 Now, compare that to the average income in Russia: ~$15k/yr Average income in the USA: ~$70/yr Let's compare them as ratios: -Russia: 57/15,000 = (0.0038) -USA: 115/70,000 = (0.0016) Adjust to 4 grocery trips per month times 12 months in a year, so times 48, let's add a couple extra trips to call it 50: -Russia: $57*50 = $2850 --> That means Russians spend almost 20% of their income on Groceries (2850/15,000). -USA: $115*50 = $5750 --> That means Americans spend less than 10% of their income on Groceries (5750/70,000).

Keep in mind the average monthly wage in Russia is $500. So the $6/kilo for the salmon would be like $50 for an American who averages $5000 a month.
Two pounds of salmon at Costco is about $26.
Russian pensionists gets around $170 and disabled gets less..
А живете вы в своем доме или аренда, налог на недвижимость 0,3% от стоимости как в России, электричество 4 цента за киловатт, медицина и образование бесплатное?!
@@АлександрМартыненко-п9г Property tax is .3%!? Are you serious? I'm looking at 2.16% in the States. Can you recommend a realtor? Спасибо!
i could see some japanese whisky there that was only around 10 dollars, that was a good price we pay 40 dollars for that in the uk
Yawn 🥱
I noticed that as well and am booking my flight to Moscow as I type this
Looking at your prices makes me believe a few thousand super rich men set all the prices across the earth because they are all about the same. But, I did like your price for a dozen eggs of $1.20.
What are you talking about ? The same prices ? Do you have a brain ? Then use it . Eggs for $ 1, 20 in russia are much more expensive for a Russian who as a teacher earns around $ 800 per month , then the eggs in Great Britain at around the same price , but my earnings are $ 3200 a month . Never compare only the price of a product in different countries . You always must compare , how long you have to work in different countries to earn the money to buy the product . Then you see that the eggs in russia are 4 times as expensive for a Russian then for me in England . Even when the price is the same
Keep in mind the average Russian salary is about $700/month.
They don't have dozens in Russia, they do it by 10s. Considering that they make ~$15k/yr and Americans make ~$70k/yr... Americans spending ~0.30-0.40 cents per egg compared to Russians ~0.12 cents, is a MUCH BETTER DEAL, lol.
Alex's scarf is beautiful!
Alex forgot to buy cinnamon rolls 😊
No 😂.they are in another shop. Not here😊
@differentrussia. ok. Alex knows where. Say hi to Mr Handsome.
And sausage and cabbage 🥬 forget
Hi Val. Your vlog actually started with ads!!! Two very long ones. I did it I can see your car riding down the street now🫶🏾
Thank you Tabu for not skipping the ads. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Soon is Christmas 🎄 and now busy time to prepare
Beautiful scarf. You should sell those. I'd buy one. You really do excellent work. That scarf looks like you bought it at an expensive store. ❤
Especially as it has a label on it.
Granny Smiths are for cooking; try eating one of them and they'll take the skin off your teeth 🤣
It's in your hands Russian people.
Every currency in the world is falling, not just the Ruble
The ruble is the worst currency in the world, in fact technically it's not even a real currency as NOBODY is trading with it 👍🏻
Prices will definitely skyrocket towards Christmas and the variety of products will substantially decrease.
The seasoning on the Lay's products gives me muscle cramps. I can't eat that brand. Only the plain chips now. Itlooks cold in that market.
Love your channel from Phoenix Az
I crochet. I'm like Alex... Wouldn't think of buying a scarf at the store
I see in USA we are getting ripped off in grocery stores.
The average wage in Russia is around $700USD/month. Perspective.
Alex looks more Cute in the Scarf ❤
Although you say apples are about $1 for 1kg- that’s actually about $5 in the real US market, when you compare the value of money along with it.
Most average Americans make 5 times more a week than average Russians.
In a country, where is 100£ minimum wages, you got a pack of cheese 200g cost 1.80£?! Dose it make any sense?!
Looks like Russian groceries are about 25% the cost of what we Americans pay.
Don‘t forget to compare also the average income. Or is the average US income the same as in Russia?
Nah, that's more like a half to maybe third if you really stretch the numbers. That water is probably $10 worth; potatoes, maybe $20 bucks; 40 eggs, probably about $12 bucks; apples, probably like $5 bucks; the frozedried fish, really no clue, but its local, so maybe $10-20 bucks; probably a kg of grapes, probably $5 bucks; pound of ground turkey, let's so $4 bucks; the tentacles, I really have no clue, but i'd guess 5 a container, so $10 bucks; block of Palermo cheese, maybe $2 bucks; two containers of sour cream, probably $5 bucks; two things of cat food, probably 2 a pop, so $4 bucks; thing of cottage cheese, probably $3 bucks; packs of black tea, hard to say since we don't really use it here, but i see similar packs for sale for 2-5 bucks, so that's probably somewhere between 5 and 20 bucks worth, so let's call it $15; miscellaneous sweets, let's call that $10 bucks.
So, grand total in the US:
10
20
12
5
10
5
4
10
2
5
4
3
15
10
= ~$105 bucks TOTAL
Let's round up and call it $110 to account for bad pricing on a few items... skrewh it... let's just call it $114 even.
As compared to ~$57 bucks in Russia
So, double $57 is $114... let's call it $115
Now, compare that to the average income in Russia: ~$15k/yr
Average income in the USA: ~$70/yr
Let's compare them as ratios:
-Russia: 57/15,000 = (0.0038)
-USA: 115/70,000 = (0.0016)
Adjust to 4 grocery trips per month times 12 months in a year, so times 48, let's add a couple extra trips to call it 50:
-Russia: $57*50 = $2850 --> That means Russians spend almost 20% of their income on Groceries (2850/15,000).
-USA: $115*50 = $5750 --> That means Americans spend less than 10% of their income on Groceries (5750/70,000).
Well...prices are diffrent everywhere...it.s all about wages and taxes and profit ..this 3things ...is influence all markets...
Thanks!
Buy you a chocolate and Alex needs Ice Cream!!!

The very rich in Russia doing very well however.
Yah, and very poor in Russia, which is 99% of the population will starve now! (It is sarcasm in case you uncapable of recognizing one, which is very likely!)
The rich leave russia when they've earnt or stolen enough money, life is far better in the west 👍🏻
The very rich in every country are doing very well, the rich always get richer and the poor poorer.
Russian wages and pensions are a fraction of those in Europe and US.
U tube is banned in Russia 😮
Throttled and restricted, but not banned
Much of your groceries are very similar in price to what we pay in Australia (after exchange), but your potatoes are much cheaper! Thank you.
Potatoes have gone up 70% in 3 months. Wages and pensions are a lot less than in Australia.
You joking im
in australia I paid Apple $ 5,99 kilo Russia $1
Potatoes I paid $ 4.99 kilo Russia $1
Frozen pizza $1.50cent in Russia where is it $ 1.50 in Australia ??? Or onion 40cent a kilo where you live?? not in Australia for sure
@@krisradjpaul278don’t believe that commentator from australia ,

There is no such thing in Australia $1 or 40 cent item no way australia very very expensive, you right wages is much higher then Russia
Average wages office work is $4,000 monthly after taxes
