Grocery Shopping in Switzerland

  • I got asked to stop filming!!! Hahahah....must be more stealthy next time although that's kind of hard with the big open spaces and staff members everywhere. Just a note, this is a really big store - most grocery stores here are not quite as big as this but many metropolitan areas have one or two of these megastores where you can also find a restaurant, a phone store, electronics, home hardware and a drugstore beside the grocery.
    Something I didn't address: the prices. Food prices in Switzerland are among the highest in all of Europe, for example much higher than in neighbouring countries like Germany or France. However, the quality of the food is in some ways also higher. Much of the meat comes from Swiss farms, and although the cost of having livestock in an expensive country like Switzerland is exorbitant, the quality of the meat is also really amazing. Organic food is very popular in Switzerland with usually a very large assortment available at all the big chain grocers. All organic food must be officially certified by an independent commission, and the criteria for becoming an organic farmer are very stringent. Swiss people in general care a lot about their food, where it comes from, the quality of the meat and produce, and the conditions the animals live in. However, all this comes at a pretty hefty price. Sometimes I wish food was cheaper and that Switzerland allowed more foreign imports to bring down prices, but on the other hand I think it is great that supporting Swiss farmers helps to keep up a high standard of food grade, versus cheap mass imports that are of inferior quality.

    I used to live in Zurich for a year..(1992-1993).....I miss it so so so much,especially the food, so I was thrilled to find your vid on youtube ! The Swiss yogurts? Dont even get me started! My personal fav was the Toni brand chestnut yogurt and the banana and pear flavored buttermilks! Seeing Coop again brings me back to all those great memories and great times in Zurich!

    So enjoyed your video......just found your channel today. I live in the United States and I have always wanted to visit Switzerland.....such a beautiful place. And this was interesting to see your grocery store in comparison to ours.....even though you did get kicked out! LOL! Will be watching more!

      +kaitlyn X This one is quite a bit larger than your typical Swiss supermarket however. I actually prefer when you don't have to walk around so much to get everything you need.

    @TheThirdShift  15 лет назад +2

    Actually it was a Carrefour before! :) But this chain left Switzerland entirely and Coop took over. Since they took over the store last year, they changed it up and renovated it. This Coop is so much better than the Carrefour that was in its place before tbh. Especially the produce is much fresher.

    food is not all that expensive, if you compare it with the incomes. If you want high-quality foods you will pay higher prices, but it's worth it. BTW we do drink quite a lot of beer, and there are excellent small breweries that sell their stuff even at COOP.

    • @jurivlk5433

      It's just the most expensive food in the world.

    • @jurivlk5433
      @jurivlk5433 6 лет назад +1

      PeterNGloor About 5x as expensive as in the US.

    • @outdooradventures4337
      @outdooradventures4337 6 лет назад

      Compare It with which income? Lot of people is happy to reach 3000 per month ...

    • @jurivlk5433
      @jurivlk5433 6 лет назад +1

      Life How We See It The Ministry of Propaganda doesn't know this yet! And by the way, food prices have nothing to do with labour incomes. Of course, the non-labour incomes like profits and rents have to do with it. Switzerland just steals the money from the poor to give it to the rich.

    • @joshuabarras839
      @joshuabarras839 5 лет назад

      Juri Vlk yeah sure, I compared some stuff and the prices are so fucking the same shit, and some shit are cheaper here then in other countries, that's all, still thinking that Switzerland have the most expensive food in the world.

    It's pretty common in Europe as a whole for supermarkets to sell alcohol I think. They do here in the Netherlands as well. But only undistilled alcoholic drinks like beer and wine.

Getting kicked out is quite embarrassing but your video really helped, esp the part of how to weigh and tag the fruits. I get a tad confused whenever I hit the European supermarkets, esp with fruits and such. Thanks again! Lotsa love!

    The general impression is how expensive Switzerland is. I hope you can do more videos focusing on the prices and price differences among various commonly used products. for e.g. how much does bread cost in stores compared to US or places you been to and stuff like that. thanks for showing us a lil part of this beautiful country.

    Good stealth video. Note to your viewers visiting a Coop for the first time, make sure you weigh your fruit and or veggies in the plastic bag and place the price sticker on the bag or the cashier has to run back to the produce area to do so. This is what happens at my local Coop and it ticks off the other customers waiting in line behind you.

    everything is written in german,french and italian,well most things,depends on in which part of switzerland you live.
    it seemed to be filmed in bern,so everything that has to do with food(at least)is in the 3 major languages we have.f.e. milk is always ;milch,lait,latte....
    so,german,french and italian.

    I loved that fruit machine thingy. My least favourite thing in the world is remembering the codes for all the types of fruit we have.
    I also wish Norway had the same rules with alcohol as in Switzerland. We only sell beer and other alcoholic beverages with under 5% alcohol in them in regular stores.

    @middletech i would recommend getting a job in switzerland, staying in a hotel for a couple of weeks till you get money saved up for a place. it may be expensive there, but you have to remember the pay rate is higher there too.
