I'm so excited that RUclips recommended this video to me. Italy is the only country that I've been to that I love just as much, maybe more than my country New Zealand. I find it really interesting seeing other countries supermarkets cost and product range. I've never tasted better bread and pizza than I had in Italy. I spent my first three days in Rome with some locals I'd met where I ate dinner. They were in Rome to work and study. One night I was eating alone so I was looking at my tourist map and the pizzeria owner came and sat with me and showed me some places to go. Venice is my favourite city and it was nice to get to know some of the locals who were all friendly. I loved my time in Italy.
Me again I've just started to watch your Italian Playlist and you said that you have been to New Zealand where I live. It's really awesome that you came all this way to visit here and Australia. I always love meeting people from other countries and to show them New Zealand hospitality. Xx
Italy, especially Rome, is awesome. And New Zealand is another fantastic place. The Lord of the Rings took me there and the beauty of the mountains I found there was only rivaled by the beauty of the _Dolomiti Mountains_ in Italy.
@Mark Landers I never thought of it like that before, but you are right. I remember when I was in school my teacher told me that we can recognise Italy as it's shaped like a boot and is kicking Sicily into the ocean for some sort of bad behaviour. She was Italian and her family came from Sicily so she was joking about that part but my nine year old self believed her for many years. Xx
Moving to Italy :) So much cheaper than Wegmans or Whole Foods in the US. Eating home is always healthier (except the frozen pizza) while saving money.
Italy has simply incredible food at startlingly low prices. Either in restaurants or in groceries. But especially in markets either daily or weekly. Florence for example has the old covered market still functioning with 50 or 69 vendors selling bread, fruit, vegetables, cured meats and cheeses etc. Enjoy!
@@JodyOwen-we6oo I visit Switzerland often so good meat and fish are very expensive. Chicken is priced similar to US. Milk and Cheese are cheaper. Veggies and Fruits are mostly comparable. We go over to Frence for Sunday Market where the prices are much cheaper. Overall quality and flavor of meat or veggies beats the US by far. I've ben to Italy but only as tourist. Love to visit Florence someday. Cheers,
You don't find lemonade because it's not very much appreciated. You find orange juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, but not lemon juice. Those who like lemonade just buy lemons and squeeze them, as they are very cheap.
Hands down Italian Grocery shopping is so much fun - they have so many different varieties of food and looking at the seafood we don't get that in other countries.
I love going to supermarkets abroad. I know Lemon Soda is nothing like lemonade that you are used to, still it is my absolutely favourite soda when I am in Italy (the one with sugar of course :D), it contains quite much of the lemon juice. Could you please make a video about your plans for this year? When will you explore other regions? How are you earning money now (I guess savings are over)? Don't you feel isolated from your friends/family? Just some update. Love your videos here and Global Expats 😘
I wish we could get Lemon Soda in the US. That is the first thing I look for on a trip to Italy-I don’t know why I’m so addicted. The varieties of lemon fizzy drinks I’ve found here are not as tart.
Oh my goodness, that is quite the price difference Lehua! 😅 I hope to go to Hawaii one day, I've never been and it seems amazing! 😍 I would love to see what you guys have there! 🤗
Stop feeling apologetic about eating pizza. Honestly, enjoy! Life is short. Happiness is also important! And I love your shopping there. Things seem so cheap
I’m going to Italy next month and found your channel. My immediate thought “that girl was my college orientation leader at cpp in 2012” 😂 you’ve got a face that’s hard to forget, and I mean that as a compliment lol. Glad to see you’re doing well
Those prices are very similar to UK prices €/£ with the exception of the Mexican type foods which are more common place here and definitely cheaper - probably similar to the US.
Thats cool how they have you weigh produce and print out a barcode in italy. I work as a cashier in the states, and not having to enter in all the codes would be so nice.
The prices are proportionated to a disposable income of 1000-1500 Euros which would be minimum wage in USa. Usa people have tò pay for their Health Insurance whereas In Italy healthcare Is almost free because It Is paid by busineses, Banks included , through a percentage of their gross profit.
This was fun shopping with you! Thanks for sharing. And... in the grocery store the liver was being sold with the "veil". It is a layer of fat which encases the liver, and the Italians love it wrapped around the liver and then they fry it. Makes it a little bit fattier, moister, and they think more flavourful! My husband loves it done this way. Ciao from Calabria!
I love the supermarkets there. You have a huge variety of items and it's way cheaper than here in the United States. I visited Rome Italy when I was young and on my honeymoon, it was fantastic, but I gained 4 pounds...😁
Florence is such a beautiful city in my opinion one 9f the most beautiful cities in the world! Thank you for showing us how grocery prices are in Florence comparing to grocery prices in the United States. What a stunningly beautiful city and rhe foods look absolutely delicious!
Did I miss the wine?? We will be traveling to Italy in the summer, and as someone who will 100% want to bring bottles back to the hotel, I want to know your cheap recommendations! Also; as a channel dedicated to bourbon, is bourbon a thing at all or should I accept drinking wine nonstop hahaha
@@michaworldwide leaving my comment to show how dumb/drunk I am. Must’ve gotten up to refill my glass because I feel like I truly watched the entire video and was so confused seeing all the wine in your shopping cart 🤣 thank you so much.
Micha I loved this, thank you so much for sharing your grocery shopping with us. I find it fascinating to see the different groceries in Florence compared to here in Canada 🇨🇦 that was great ❤
Remember that "tourists" cities (Florence, Rome, Milan, Venice, etc.) for this very reason, are almost always extremely expensive, often with an increase in prices of more than 30-40%, compared to less frequented (but equally spectacular) cities and town, often even more, but only less known, especially when shopping in supermarkets, whereas there is a drastic decrease in prices by purchasing in discount chains (Lidl, Aldi, Eurospin, Penny Market, etc.) or as many Italians do, you can do your shopping with drastically lower prices, in small local markets in little towns or in large open-air markets in bigger cities, that often also sell food both from normal dealers or directly from farmers * and livestock breeders, fishermen and cheese producers, or even other non-food products (Clothing, household products, detergents, perfumes and personal hygiene. * Please remember that in Italy there are a lot of laws about the quality and authenticity of the food as origin, production methods , consumption periods and also on cosmetics and non-food products, for this reason there is a special Carabinieri detachment, to ensure the safety of citizens and compliance with all the regulations in force, with very severe penalties for those who don't respect them.
Thank you so much for your enlightening video. We are coming to Tuscany from Napa Valley, California next month for a wedding, and a nonagenarian birthday party. About thirty-five of us are descending on Greve in Chianti and environs for about a month so your video was very helpful in acclimating us on the commercial necessities for villa living.
Loved this - thank you! We are heading to Florence from Cape Town in Dec/Jan.The Rand vs Euro is in shambles...so great seeing we will afford some food and not go hungry😉😄
@@gabrielemangialavori8732 Thanks Gabriele, I just wish our Coop could be as good at yours, the Danish consumers are sadly being cheated, loved your video by the way.
If the fear of coming into contact with real Italians will go away, you could learn to do your shopping in the neighborhood open-air markets with big savings (from 20 to 60% less) compared to the big brand supermarkets, where in addition to the savings , you will find vegetables, fruit, cheeses, cured meats, etc. much fresher, genuine and very often grown/produced locally....🥰🥰🥰
Loved the fact that you gave the prices. However, I am struggling to understand how you make 7 dinners from the ingredients you purchased? No vegetables, no seafood and one tray with 2 chicken cutlets.
For the pesto: "senza aglio" means "without garlic". You cannot make pesto without oil. Google translator can help at that level, if you read the labels right.
Besides managing your two channels, do either of you work in Florence or have another source of income? It must be quite expensive to live in the Tuscan capital.
I’ve been following your journey for awhile and I love you guys videos! My family is coming to Florence end of May for 6 days can you recommend a afordble place to stay 🙏🤗
After seeing the price for shopping in italy at the supermarket 78 euro can buy so many thing and things are so cheap to buy one of my italy girlfriend she told me one watermelon cost 20 euro for one after seeing this video i think she lie to me about the price for watermelon
Coop it's not cheap guys... For the pizza, you have tried the best frozen one in the market. Try it with leffe rossa or Leffe ambrata (beer). Enjoy our country!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video Chris! 🥰 There are Coop's all over Italy, but yea I will try and make another video to show Conad - it's pretty similar to Coop though! 🤗
Coop, Conad, Pam Panorama, Esselunga, Carrefour are the most common chains of big grocery stores in Italy; there are also several discount chains: Eurospin, Todis, Aldi, Lidl, MD, Penny Market. For organic food there is less choice, ususally there is NaturaSì or CuoreBio, but usually the normal grocery stores that have their own products have also an organic line of products, or special lines (gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free and such): that's the case surely for Conad, Coop and Pam Panorama.
Thanks for the heads up. We are going to Italy for 6 weeks and have a full kitchen to create delicious feasts. A store will be really helpful. Love your channel
I bet the store has Boost vitamin drink you should get that so you get vitamins an iron it will get you 100 % of your vitamins and I do not work for the vitamin place I just drink it every day
How did we not try out this Coop supermarket in Florence!!! We used to buy stuff at Sapori e Ditorni (which also carry the Conad brand), as they were closer to our apartment. FYI this pork Ragu is a specialty in Tuscany, we'd love to hear how did you like it. Thanx for another wonderful video!
Food is so cheap in some European countries, in Europe the further north you go, the more the prices will increase. Scandinavian countries are expansive
Well, it actually depends! In the US food is definitely more expensive in general but you have also much higher salaries. And in Italy also prices are different. Florence is considered to be average price but in the north everything costs more. I live in Milan and I would pay almost double what they paid in Florence and the average salary is 1500 net. In Europe food is expensive also in France and Switzerland or Scandinavian countries. The only exception is Germany ( where i lived ) where prices are lower than Italy and much much lower than Milan
A bag of tortilla chips in California is about the same as in Florence! A bag of Ruccula is about $4.00 and don't get me started with the wine! Europe is much cheaper now than the US!
That’s great about the chips, but $4 for Ruccula?! That’s crazy 😳 And oh yes, price difference in wine is just insane - you can get some of the best Tuscan wine for only a couple bucks, it’s amazing & dangerous! 😂
Thank you for uploading this kind of video. I’ve followed you and Mateo from your other YT channel for a few months now. My family and I are going to Rome and Florence in July so it’s good to get some idea on what they offer at the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy pasta and pizza but I’ll probably will be looking for other options by day 4💕😅. Thank you again.
Aww I'm so happy you enjoy both channels and find them helpful! 🥰 That's so exciting about your upcoming trip, I hope you have the best time! 😍🇮🇹 And yes, having pizza & pasta 24/7 gets a bit much, but there are definitely some other delicious options to choose from too! 😂 Enjoy!
Guys consider that in our country everything has taxes included!! Our IVA in different rates... NOT as in USA where you must make a calculation to add to stuff's price.. I find that many irritating
I haven't been to Italy in over 25 years. Rome to be exact. During my brief time there, the food markets I visited were very small - more like farmers markets than this place, which seems more akin to a Whole Foods. I am pleasantly surprised. Being vegan now, ( i like that you're using oat milk - that is my fav vegan milk as well) I had thought that it would be more difficult to go food shopping or going out to eat, but I've been researching a lot and have found Italy to be FAR more vegan friendly than I suspected, esp in the south where butter is almost exclusively swapped out for olive oil, a better (and kinder) alternative. Since relocating from NYC to Florida, finding vegan restaurants down here is very difficult anyway, and honestly Italy seems more vegan friendly than Florida. You'd think that in a tourist bubble they would get with the times, but it's still just the same typical boring chain restaurants that keep Americans fat. At least some supermarkets like Sprouts have good vegan options. There are some vegan cheeses that I use here in the states which are actually manufactured in Italy, so that is encouraging too. And I found a website that lets you order vegan meat-alternative brands like Gardein from Italy too, for even less than they are in the states now because of this terrible inflation, which has literally tripled and in many cases quadrupled the cost of groceries. A typical bag of potato chips , like a bag of Lay's, costs upwards of $5 right now, which is crazy, especially since every bag is 80% air. I can't quite swing it right now, but I believe that eventually relocating to Italy is a new goal. The US is on a downward slope and not to get all political, but if things don't change in the 2024 election, I don't see how the US will recover any time soon from the damage that has and still is being done.
Ma perché fate queste cose ? Anche se la pizza è di marca perché è Buitoni, ma non sarà mai come quella vera. E poi perché andate alla Conad ? Lì c'è tutta roba di Marca. Se andavate a Eurospin con 78 Euro mangiavate un mese !!! 🙏👍👍👍
la coop è conveniente ma ormai in italia è tutto caro. Se vai nei piccoli alimentari ti serve la carta d'oro😁. Tra inflazione e speculazione l'italia stà diventando uno dei paesei più cari dell'europa basta vedere gli affitti di milano che si possono paragonare a quelli di new york. Appartamenti di 30 mt a 1200 euro! Ovviamente anche gli stati uniti vivono una grande inflazione con una povertà in forte aumento ma gli stipendi sono più alti. Ti scrivo in italiano così fai esercizio con la lingua. Appena iscritto e un grande like!
I just can't get over how eating a sweet biscuit or pastry for breakfast is normal. I need protein in the morning to help me get through lunch. Was also surprised at the size of your freezer. Very small I like to freeze leftovers for another day so I need more room.
@@alessandrom7181 I’m originally from Milan and now I live in Berlin. Milan is the most expensive city in Italy, from grocery to restaurants to housing while the average salary is still pretty low ( €1500 - 1700 net ). I came back in Milan some months ago and was pretty shocked. In Berlin I would pay at least 30% less than what I pay in Milan. Of course also depending on the supermarket. I buy my grocery at Esselunga. I usually eat vegetarian and wanted to grab the little soy sauce bottle and in Milan was €7,42, while in Berlin ( at the most expensive supermarket if a sold for 2,99 and o. Other Italian cities for around 3,50 ). Today I bought 1 kg strawberries and ended up paying €14. In the last ISTAT report Milan is the most expensive city in Italy, for example in Naples grocery costs 50% less than in Milan
We have a backpack that has wheels and a telescoping handle to drag it behind . Very handy, but we also have our granny cart. Mine has a system of three rotating wheels on each sides which allows it to go up stairs easier.

Italian pizza is not junk food like in the Us.. And even the frozen one is much healthier than any American sandwich!
It's in USA that stuff is overpriced. In Italy you have more or less the prices of whole Europe.
Frozen pizza taste mediocre? Tabasco is the word 👍
Italian supermarkets have great sausages, their everyday sausages would be considered gourmet in other countries and much cheaper

Porcini is actually a king of mushrooms. Europe looks incredibly cheap for America. $150 is minimal cost for us when we go to the store.

How did we not try out this Coop supermarket in Florence!!! We used to buy stuff at Sapori e Ditorni (which also carry the Conad brand), as they were closer to our apartment. FYI this pork Ragu is a specialty in Tuscany, we'd love to hear how did you like it. Thanx for another wonderful video!
"Sapori e Dintorni" 😊
@@scilal6552 grazie mille,.scusi:)
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your grocery shopping with us. Very informative.
I’m so happy you liked it! 🤗
Man I love Italy wish one day I visit here 🙌
Aww hopefully you will get the chance to one day soon! 🇮🇹
@@michaworldwide haha
We have those same Biscotti at our local grocery called HEB. Interesting!!❤
Oooo that's awesome Katherine! 😍
Aglio means garlic, but pesto is a mess without it
Ahh yes, that’s what I meant, I just realized I said “oil” not garlic! 😅Thanks Agnese! 🤗
Food are so cheap in Europe compared to other continents
Food is so cheap in some European countries, in Europe the further north you go, the more the prices will increase. Scandinavian countries are expansive
Well, it actually depends! In the US food is definitely more expensive in general but you have also much higher salaries. And in Italy also prices are different. Florence is considered to be average price but in the north everything costs more. I live in Milan and I would pay almost double what they paid in Florence and the average salary is 1500 net.
In Europe food is expensive also in France and Switzerland or Scandinavian countries. The only exception is Germany ( where i lived ) where prices are lower than Italy and much much lower than Milan
A bag of tortilla chips in California is about the same as in Florence! A bag of Ruccula is about $4.00 and don't get me started with the wine! Europe is much cheaper now than the US!
That’s great about the chips, but $4 for Ruccula?! That’s crazy 😳 And oh yes, price difference in wine is just insane - you can get some of the best Tuscan wine for only a couple bucks, it’s amazing & dangerous! 😂
@@michaworldwide Never too much good wine! l'acqua ti arrugginisce
It's cheaper to eat healthier in Europe and that's for sure!
Brings back such great memories. Hope to go first week of December, do you think the Christmas items will be out? Beautiful video, thank you!
Hi, I live in northern Italy and rest assured that all the Christmas goodies will be out about a month prior to December 😊
@@MsBaby1959 thank you very much! I go normally in September but this I want to try in December. Thank you for letting me know. Grazie.
Thank you for uploading this kind of video. I’ve followed you and Mateo from your other YT channel for a few months now. My family and I are going to Rome and Florence in July so it’s good to get some idea on what they offer at the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy pasta and pizza but I’ll probably will be looking for other options by day 4💕😅. Thank you again.
Aww I'm so happy you enjoy both channels and find them helpful! 🥰 That's so exciting about your upcoming trip, I hope you have the best time! 😍🇮🇹 And yes, having pizza & pasta 24/7 gets a bit much, but there are definitely some other delicious options to choose from too! 😂 Enjoy!
The datorrini tomatoes there are heavenly. All the local fruits and veggies are better there.
Guys consider that in our country everything has taxes included!! Our IVA in different rates... NOT as in USA where you must make a calculation to add to stuff's price.. I find that many irritating
Way cheaper than the US
I haven't been to Italy in over 25 years. Rome to be exact. During my brief time there, the food markets I visited were very small - more like farmers markets than this place, which seems more akin to a Whole Foods. I am pleasantly surprised. Being vegan now, ( i like that you're using oat milk - that is my fav vegan milk as well) I had thought that it would be more difficult to go food shopping or going out to eat, but I've been researching a lot and have found Italy to be FAR more vegan friendly than I suspected, esp in the south where butter is almost exclusively swapped out for olive oil, a better (and kinder) alternative. Since relocating from NYC to Florida, finding vegan restaurants down here is very difficult anyway, and honestly Italy seems more vegan friendly than Florida. You'd think that in a tourist bubble they would get with the times, but it's still just the same typical boring chain restaurants that keep Americans fat. At least some supermarkets like Sprouts have good vegan options. There are some vegan cheeses that I use here in the states which are actually manufactured in Italy, so that is encouraging too. And I found a website that lets you order vegan meat-alternative brands like Gardein from Italy too, for even less than they are in the states now because of this terrible inflation, which has literally tripled and in many cases quadrupled the cost of groceries. A typical bag of potato chips , like a bag of Lay's, costs upwards of $5 right now, which is crazy, especially since every bag is 80% air. I can't quite swing it right now, but I believe that eventually relocating to Italy is a new goal. The US is on a downward slope and not to get all political, but if things don't change in the 2024 election, I don't see how the US will recover any time soon from the damage that has and still is being done.
Panettone is so expensive
Ma perché fate queste cose ? Anche se la pizza è di marca perché è Buitoni, ma non sarà mai come quella vera. E poi perché andate alla Conad ? Lì c'è tutta roba di Marca. Se andavate a Eurospin con 78 Euro mangiavate un mese !!! 🙏👍👍👍
you are hypnotic, good guys, I wanted to make a suggestion, go to Florence 🤭😂 just kidding, go to other places, come to Sardinia
What’s an inexpensive wine brand you recommend? I’m on my way there and want to bring some wine bk home 👆🏼
la coop è conveniente ma ormai in italia è tutto caro. Se vai nei piccoli alimentari ti serve la carta d'oro😁. Tra inflazione e speculazione l'italia stà diventando uno dei paesei più cari dell'europa basta vedere gli affitti di milano che si possono paragonare a quelli di new york. Appartamenti di 30 mt a 1200 euro! Ovviamente anche gli stati uniti vivono una grande inflazione con una povertà in forte aumento ma gli stipendi sono più alti. Ti scrivo in italiano così fai esercizio con la lingua. Appena iscritto e un grande like!
Beast supermarkets in italy especially the bog city's very cheap and best foods !! 😋 beautiful
I just can't get over how eating a sweet biscuit or pastry for breakfast is normal. I need protein in the morning to help me get through lunch. Was also surprised at the size of your freezer. Very small I like to freeze leftovers for another day so I need more room.
Ahaha don't worry we italians often eat frozen pizzas it's very common to see people buying them
Why wear a glove when choosing fruit? Is it a spray thing??🤔
Yummy!! You have a pizza dinner tonight. Is that potato and cheese pizza? How is it? What else you guys went to shopping for today?
Pesto is senza aglio that means garlic free it's a choice for who doesn't like garlic; senza olio means oil free and pesto has always oil inside.
Everything looks delicious. I would spend a fortune. Try some new things you two.
leave him
Wow, the prices compared here in Milan are so cheap
Not even remotely .
I have relatives in Milan and prices are about the same, it's just a coincidence for this video.
@@alessandrom7181 I’m originally from Milan and now I live in Berlin. Milan is the most expensive city in Italy, from grocery to restaurants to housing while the average salary is still pretty low ( €1500 - 1700 net ). I came back in Milan some months ago and was pretty shocked. In Berlin I would pay at least 30% less than what I pay in Milan. Of course also depending on the supermarket. I buy my grocery at Esselunga. I usually eat vegetarian and wanted to grab the little soy sauce bottle and in Milan was €7,42, while in Berlin ( at the most expensive supermarket if a sold for 2,99 and o. Other Italian cities for around 3,50 ). Today I bought 1 kg strawberries and ended up paying €14. In the last ISTAT report Milan is the most expensive city in Italy, for example in Naples grocery costs 50% less than in Milan
We have a backpack that has wheels and a telescoping handle to drag it behind . Very handy, but we also have our granny cart. Mine has a system of three rotating wheels on each sides which allows it to go up stairs easier.
Prices seem high however, are priced by the kilo which is slightly over 2 lbs.
Not a fan of panettone or the famous tiramisu 🤢 but I’m planning to retire in Italy 🇮🇹
Pizza ? Not in my Italian book. Italy become Americanize ?
life is far away from fair , billie eilish, how can you not be fat and bye only while flour and sugar super deal for 78 euros
nescafe gold is instant coffee Americana or instant espresso ?
Bella presentazione del cibo!
Grazie mille! 🥰
That was cheap compare in Utah at least 300$ at Costco only.
I noticed you didn't use a baking pan to cooked your pizza.
Who is the most expensive Spain or Italy?
Loads of frozen pizza! They must sell a lot of them😩
❤❤❤❤
