"Value for Money" VFM is actually the correct word. That is what Indians seek more. Cheap may mean compromise on quality and affordable is a relative thing. But every Indian always seeks a product that has more value for their money.
This is called purchasing power parity. Foreigners don't understand this concept and thinks India is poor. But India ranked 3rd after China and US in terms of GDP PPP with 16 trillion usd and GDP PPP per capita is about 10,000 USD.
Sure! But this is a misleading comment, if you add PPP to the mix, you should also add in Per Capita & then we’re #122 (US #8, UAE#14, GER#19, UK#28, RUS#43, CHINA#74) (191 total rankings)
Per Captia can be misleading - because India has a huge population. But if the PPP of just the middle class is taken into account, it would be comparable to or even better than that of many European countries.
@@AdithyaReddy15 GDP PPP is the correct method to judge a country a huge population. Cost of living is also a major factor in India. We may earn less than most of the countries, but we also spend less. That's why GDP PPP is correct because it shows how much we can afford with the same amount of money in our country compared to other.
Dont tip (leave the change) at wrong places in India. Tipping is only in restaurants where service is provided . And hotels bell boys etc. Not anywhere else usually.
@@krishnachandran2020 why shouldn't they pay tips? Our folks make below avg, so a decent tip help a lot. I want to understand why they shouldn't if someone wants to?
@@madhuparnaghosh6254 I understand where you are coming from, but here is my take. The responsibility of ensuring fair wages lies with the employers, not the customers. If restaurants charge a service fee, that should ideally go towards compensating staff. As a waged employee myself, I believe our spending shouldnot have to fill gaps left by businesses not paying their staff adequately. Tipping becomes an extra cost that may not always address the root problem of unfair wages. Also, when it comes to the quality or hygiene of food, we usually have no transparency. Without a clear standard of service or fairness in wage distribution, tipping on "belief" alone doesn't feel justified to me. It is not about wanting workers to earn less-it’s about holding employers accountable for providing fair pay and ensuring a system where customers don’t have to subsidize wages.

0:43 that means you are in south India. Rice is a staple food in south and eastern India while the north and west eats primarily wheat. Varieties like Basmati are used for special occasions to make biriyani etc, that's why it's sold in smaller quantities, while these 5kg, 10kg bags are for every day use. Matta is like a premium traditional variety, there are dozens of others.
India is the only place where you can find different races, religion, caste, people with different languages living together. You will get the most humble people here than any where else in the world. Only thing you have to avoid is super crowded places bcs only Indians are used to it not all foreigners.
Actually India doesn’t have the largest cultivable land. Probably USA and China has more cultivable land than India. But India has the most arable land which means we are able to cultivate for most part of the year.
@@herearewe Actually China have 2/3 barren land and don't have much areable land compare to India. You just have to go to Google Earth to check for yourself.

The irony is that, Kerala is in one of the highest living cost areas, while I feel most of them are bitterly more expensive than some other parts of India
Even if they are cheese products majority of indians like some spicy element in it.. like for eg, I can't live without pickles(mango, dates, prawn etc.)
Did you check the date. Don't buy vegetables. and fruits from there. The stock is usually bad. Only good. for buying processed, packed and canned food not fresh stuff
Bro these are the only precautions you need to take to just live in india: -Bargain with auto drivers for a ride price of 50 or maybe 60 at max -don't let anyone who looks like he is trying to sell something or his services have his way -Just stay in a nice reputated hotel and you can find the rating in google -Prolly the most important tip is, don't be near dark alley ways and narrow sus roads.
2:04 TBH I never go to Supermarkets or step out to get something. We just order stuff and get delivered within 30 mins at home. Good to see Indian brands are ruling the roost.
Basmati isn't exactly as common in Indian households as some westerners might believe. Its a premium variety of rice that is pricey because of its impeccable fragrance and is only used to cook biriyani, pulao and other flavored rice dishes on special occasions. For daily use we use other good quality but cheaper variety of rice.
If you are busy you can buy some ready to eat Indian snacks that can be eaten just by adding water. Like poha, halwa, rawa upma etc. Brands like MTR manufacture them.
Try Amul lassi if you have sweet tooth.You’ll love it lassi is good for your gut than those aerated drinks like coke thumsup even butter milk is also good it is salty and ginger they will mix.cookies with oats is good choice.
@TheStoryOfYouness yes, specially Rajasthani flavoured yogurt(Raytas) Punjabi lassis are so tasty and flavorful. In india every household food have a special flavour.
things are cheap, yes. but quality standards are very low. try international brands : mountain dew in india tastes like candy soda. potato fries in lays are thinner. cadbury chocolates have more flour and sugar than chocolate to cut the costs. Indian food standard guidelines are at base level. In europe you need to have 'this much' percentage of chocolate in it to be sold as chocolate. In India it is floor level. This goes on with each and every product except plain water. Indian public and tourists can rejoice things are cheaper. But what you are eating are less nutritious sugar and fat rich junk. fruits are cheap because we make here with cheap labour. colder countries of europe and US has to export fruits from elsewhere.
Biscuit- Hide & Seek, Bourbon, Dark fantasy Choco fills, Biscuit to try with chai- Goodday, Parle G, Moms magic, Krackjack, Monaco Snack- Kurkure Red & yellow, Banana wafers, Balaji Crunchex, & Lot of varieties of Chevda(its a mixture of Crunchy tangy sweet spicy mixture of snacks)
You didn't see much Basmati rice, coz it's quite expensive, the lowest priced Basmati will be more than double the price of regular rice that people usually buy.
Most Indians use Basmati rice for special occasions in Indian festival times or celebrations at home. Otherwise daily consumption rice is a cheaper brand rice. I grew up eating the cheaper rice in India that my family will buy, but when I lived in US I used to buy the basmati rice as I find it easier to cook & better quality. Food is cheaper in India for 3 reasons, mass amounts of people consuming them keep costs low for some products, some foods have to be cheap for the poorer population with less income ( because we still have people who don't even earn 150 ₹ a day in some parts of India); and also with many brands there is less focus on quality due to poor regulations or poor execution of regulations here as well. Brand variability is true in any country, of the foreign known brands as well as local ones based on local tastes too.

Okay thank you for the recommendation!
Majority of brand which were at eye level are recent brands including sting.
Mostly we don't go for that yogurt it is expensive 😂we go for plain yogurt and ad flavour at home and it cost us 60-70 per kg
Wow even better!
@TheStoryOfYouness yes, specially Rajasthani flavoured yogurt(Raytas) Punjabi lassis are so tasty and flavorful. In india every household food have a special flavour.
@TheStoryOfYouness if you are currently in india try to go to Villages becouse real india lives in Villages.
things are cheap, yes. but quality standards are very low.
try international brands : mountain dew in india tastes like candy soda. potato fries in lays are thinner. cadbury chocolates have more flour and sugar than chocolate to cut the costs. Indian food standard guidelines are at base level. In europe you need to have 'this much' percentage of chocolate in it to be sold as chocolate. In India it is floor level. This goes on with each and every product except plain water.
Indian public and tourists can rejoice things are cheaper. But what you are eating are less nutritious sugar and fat rich junk.
fruits are cheap because we make here with cheap labour. colder countries of europe and US has to export fruits from elsewhere.
Biscuit- Hide & Seek, Bourbon, Dark fantasy Choco fills,
Biscuit to try with chai- Goodday, Parle G, Moms magic, Krackjack, Monaco
Snack- Kurkure Red & yellow, Banana wafers, Balaji Crunchex,
& Lot of varieties of Chevda(its a mixture of Crunchy tangy sweet spicy mixture of snacks)
Thank you for the recommendation!
His reaction is like he is visiting Afghanistan 😂😂
😂
I don't think you would find such a nice supermarket in afghanistan
@@thelegendofalltime9923How do you know? Have you been there?
People says per capita but it should be affordability a simple test cost 10 20usd but the same test ll cost u 1000 maybe 1500usd
Right, makes sense!
Just buy a pack of oreos and dark fantasy and compare it side by side then you will know why there is less western brands available
Okay thanks for the recommendation!
You didn't see much Basmati rice, coz it's quite expensive, the lowest priced Basmati will be more than double the price of regular rice that people usually buy.
Okay thanks for the info
Nice vlog.
Suggestion: A portable mic would be handy in the streets.
Okay thanks for the suggestion!
Most Indians use Basmati rice for special occasions in Indian festival times or celebrations at home. Otherwise daily consumption rice is a cheaper brand rice.
I grew up eating the cheaper rice in India that my family will buy, but when I lived in US I used to buy the basmati rice as I find it easier to cook & better quality.
Food is cheaper in India for 3 reasons, mass amounts of people consuming them keep costs low for some products, some foods have to be cheap for the poorer population with less income ( because we still have people who don't even earn 150 ₹ a day in some parts of India); and also with many brands there is less focus on quality due to poor regulations or poor execution of regulations here as well.
Brand variability is true in any country, of the foreign known brands as well as local ones based on local tastes too.
Vegitables and fruits are costly in super markets..
The person who has posted before me has it right, 90% are ok... there are a few rogues in every country!
Exactly!
Should have bought green bingo nachos. Free dip was written in so big, please try reading the packaging
Messy ofcourse as a player and Ronaldo as overall Icon I would say
That’s a good take!
Are you in Kerala,kochi or ernakulam, and this super market is next to Marian drive. Is it correct. I live in that city bro
Yea exactly

Bade Miyan had rats in their kitchen. The B.M.C. closed them temporarily and only opened the place after Bade Miyan bribed them heavily.
The things and products there in the supermarket are never seen by that person, still he thinks India is underdeveloped and cheap. 😢😢😢

I guess Perks of being a developing country is the prices are rather cheap. but there will always be another country in the world where you can get it cheaper. Remember there is a difference in the prices also depending which city you buy your products in.
Come to southern part of India Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka, tamilnadu, Kerala, goa they are amazing with traditions, culture and heritage and tropical different states with different healthy veg&non veg cuisines, snacks, desserts, breakfast,lunch, dinner ❤
Odisha is not in south India
Where are all the racists now and people who call india dirty...mfs

Everything is good, but string naahhh
Sylcon alle ath thats not affordable rate its expensive😅
Just here to ans the title of this video. So it's basically called "Economic" where "weaker Economy has a weaker currency" . 😊
U come from a developed country with high gdp per capita and purchasing power ofc its going to be cheap for u. For ur avg Indian, its still fairly expensive ( no that much but still)as our per capita income is still fairly low and median wages haven't really grown much under the new regime.
Makes sense!
Oh new regime , so you think lot of development happened during congress😂
@@ravikanthbot9266 let's not undermine the failures of the present regime while also appreciating the goods they have done.
@@bubblegum7489first of all India's GDP and avg income doubled under Bjp but under congress there weren't even basic needs like electricity , roads , water but under bjp every village got electricity , water almost 600 million people came out of below poverty line under bjp , congress didn't do shit they gave thorium worth of 60 lakh crore to china for a free price not even 10 billion and 1 ton of thorium is almost comparable to 35 lakh ton of coal for producing electricity. Such a party was congress thy were shit
