C'mon, Bobby! This is no bueno, man. Australia has a TOTALLY different economy, population and political/legislative structure that means a good portion of your comments are either a little off the mark, or are actually unfair. Not JUST by saying that Vegemite is "unhealthy". What the blarg???? Please tell me you've done SOME research on what Vegemite contains? On top of that, please tell me you have read the research that actually quite soundly debunks the "Soy = moobs" debate???? Australia has a population of 24 million. America is pushing 326 million. Australia's landmass is similar to that of the USA. The USA's population - and therefore economy - is more than 14 times that of Australia's. This means the demand for products, AND for range, is entirely different. Australia exports a LOT of produce because it's such high quality. It also grows, raises, or cultivates over 92% of our ENTIRE daily food supply. This means that people here AND overseas want our stuff. Of COURSE it's going to be of a different cost-to-weight ratio. Australian definitions of food statuses are also different to America's. "Free range" means literally that. "Barn Laid" means free range hens who are ushered into barns in the evenings. Please don't claim that hens kept at 15,000 per hectare (and look, guys, a hectare is a Metric measure. Do you truly understand how BIG a hectare is? TEN THOUSAND SQUARE METRES. It's not a paddock, mate) means they are not free range. Additionally, the quality of eggs is standardised across the board - we don't have "white" and "brown" eggs packaged separately, or "higher protein" or "lower carb" like America does. They're eggs. Laid naturally. As they should be. Australian MEAT is also of a generally higher standard. You want to know where your grass-fed Angus beef in Costco comes from? Right here, mate. New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia. AUSTRALIA. Additionally, "organic" vs "grass-fed" is another arbitraty comparison that is not reconcilable between products. Additionally - the timestamp wherein you and Vincenzo compare the COLOURS of the ground beef - come onnnnnnnnnnnnn. Are you for real? Packaged ground meat contains humectants and preservative products to keep the rich red colour. American meat is packaged PRECISELY the same way. The comments you're making about the colour difference between three different packages is incorrect and unfair. Meat is not naturally that colour when it is removed from an animal and treated. Please, this is amateur stuff, you should know better. Lastly, as eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone else has stated, the Australian economic structure means that cost of living is entirely different here as it is there. Do Australians pay more for fresh produce, groceries and dry goods than you do in America? YES. Do Australians, overall, earn a higher wage across the entire economy than Americans? YES. Is unemployment and a lower socio-economic market a higher percentage of your economy than it is of ours? ABSOLUTELY. We pay more because we earn more. We live at a higher national average wage. We also have a higher national quality of living, and our capital cities are CONSISTENTLY in the top 20 of the Mercer Quality Of Living WORLDWIDE CITY SURVEY. This video made me so sad, Bobby. You're better than clickbait stats. Please, do Australia a little better justice.
Just something to note here: for the lower quality free range eggs in this video, the carton stated 10,000 hens per hectare, which is 1 hen per square meter, or 10.8 square feet per hen. Comparing that to the pasture raised standard in the US, each hen must have at least 108 square feet. So yes, free range in Australia is still significantly inferior to the pasture raised standard available in the US, as each hen can have up to 10x less space. The higher quality one they recommended was 1500 hens per hectare, which is 72 square feet per hen, which is still less space compared to pasture raised eggs in the US.
I live in Australia too and yes, like you said : our salaries are indeed quite high but it STILL does not excuse the insane price of groceries. Nowadays, you spend $50 at Coles or Woolies and you end up with barely anything in your trolley. The economy here in Straya Is different to the one in the US but it is mainly property-driven with mental sky-high property prices here. Australia is no longer the lucky country.
@@mumufried9083 I've been living in New Zealand for the last few years for work and let me tell you, Australia is a hell of a lot more lucky than you'd think. I understand what you mean, and I am not dismissing the cost of living increases and rental market influence, but I swear to you, hand on heart, it is leaps and bounds more affordable than even New Zealand - there's a reason why, for the last 12 months, more New Zealanders have LEFT this country [and, interestingly, moved to Australia as first-choice] than people have come to it. Well, more than one reason - many of them, in fact - but cost of living is one of the highest.
@@vtbn53 That is exactly right!! That's what I keep saying. Exchange rates have got NOTHING to do with anything. There are more factors than exchange rates to consider. It's not a simple equation. The only time exchange rates come in to the picture is if someone from the US is looking at purchasing products in Australia. Products are still cheaper in the US. A larger population, mass production and purchasing power, prices can be cheaper. In Australia prices are seriously jacked up by Coles and Woolworths supermarkets. They still somewhat have the monopoly. Which is why it is so important for more smaller retailers to rise up. We now have Costco and Aldi as have had IGA and many other smaller players for decades, but still we need more competitors to drive down the prices. Tesco is now trying to enter the Australian market it would seem....taking its first step via The Reject Shop. Coles and Woolies only care about shareholders not customers.
@@rick_terscale1111 Obviously economies of scale will make a difference, but it's the degree of the difference that proves it can't just be that, because we could leverage the economies of scale of other countries by importing directly from them, and, theoretically, then the only difference in cost would be shipping. Now it's difficult to factor in shipping as it is obviously different depending on the type of product, but it is not uncommon for the difference in price to be 5 to 10 times. That cannot possibly be attributed to shipping alone.
Have you ever lied even once, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain, looked with lust or worse sexual sins? Then you’re not a good person in God’s eyes and in terrible danger of the judgement of God which will send you to hell (a terrible place of pain and sadness FOREVER & EVER & EVER & EVER….). Remember God is the Holiest such that one small lie will induce his severe wrath. Good news is Jesus died on the cross so that you may receive forgiveness of AALL YOUR SINS (No matter how bad or how many). But you aren’t forgiven unless you REPENT OF YOUR SINS & BELIEVE IN JESUS AS YOUR GOD (repentance means turning from sin and doing your absolute best not to do it again, also ask Jesus to rid you of addictions that you’re struggling to shake away-James 4:7). God has blessed us with Great food to eat (kings in the past don’t eat like we do today), shelter, freedoms, fun, medicine, pets to enjoy their company, friends and many more things to enjoy. Yet we don’t give him thanks, Blaspheme his HOLY name etc God wants to give the free gift of eternal life (9999999999999999999999999… years) but we need to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways Believe in Jesus (God isn’t asking you to get religious he wants to have a relationship with you-like a father and his children). Think about why you’re reading this message (Everything happens for a reason) Get saved today since tomorrow is not promised (not everyone lives to 80+); Enter God’s rest; God is taking desperate measures to reach you all because the time is short.

Tips for people in Australia, you can buy cheaper Organic pantry items on Vitacost for half the price you are paying now. All with a flat rate of 5.99 US shipping! This is what I have done for years now and have saved so much money on condiments, nut flours, and nut milks.
Great information but let's get some balance.. 1. Australia has much higher wages and working conditions for the 'average' person. 2. Most, if not all of our dairy cattle are grass fed, not in feedlots. I'm sure labelling will catch up soon. 3. Vegemite is now owned by an American company and it is not to be spread like PB or Jam. Just a thin smear. Makes GREAT stock for soups and stews. 4. All sauces, relish and mayo types do better stored upside down. It seals the lid and doesn't allow mold to form on the product.
THANK YOU! I was so disappointed by SO many of Bobby's comments and assumptions, without giving context, OR mentioning economic, production, and even population differences to be taken into consideration!
@@hellototheworld What a load of rubbish!! Supply and demand.. The USA has over 10x our population so they can get better deals due to the sheer volume bought and sold. Higher prices in Australia but much better living conditions and a very reasonable health care and welfare system than the USA.. I'll take my high priced meat and live in Australia any day thanks!!
What a coincidence! I recently discovered Vincenzo's channel a month ago, when searching for Italian recipes. I really relish his enthusiasm for food. Thank you Bobby for giving him more exposure.
As an Aussie, your are right. Prices are vastly different from the US to here, not only on food but other items like clothes, cosmetics, electricals etc.. Thanks to you, I will be more mindful about the labels on products on my next visit to Coles.
you keep mentioning how expensive their food is, but don't take in consideration their dollar is NOT same as American dollar, when you exchange money , and average paycheck in Sydney is quite higher then average town here , what you are doing is comparing NY paycheck to small town in MS or Alabama , then ofcorse it would look expensive , totally unfair and uninformed comparison
Exactly!! 100% agreed. Higher minimum wages are going to caused other goods to go up in prices. USA (some states) have a very low minimum wage so cost of goods are going to be cheaper. I'm not going to compare prices in San Fran & NYC to Alabama or Minnesota. That's just ridiculous.
TOTAL ABOSOLUTE BULLSHIT!!!!! The average wage in Australia is lower than that in the US - Stop bullshitting just to make yourself feel better that Australia has the HIGHEST world.
Bobby is right though. Coles and Woolies seriously jack up their prices. That's why it pays to shop around. It's not just in the US where you can get goods at cheaper prices. I've traveled all over the world and found similar branded items that are waaay cheaper. It's one of the reason why so many Aussies, from Perth to Melbourne, do huge shopping trips to Bali, Indonesia. What people don't realise is that they're paying a FORTUNE for some items in Coles. Some prices are insane. When things are on special, stock up then. Coles and Woolies had the monopoly for many years. There are many other grocery retailers with more reasonable prices these days.
Nice video, love Australia. The color of the beef has mostly to do with the fat content... What am I missing? You’re comparing color like it equates to quality. Yes, discolored beef isn’t good. But, how pink/white it is? That’s to do with fat content. Also, $13 USD is over $18 AUD. Their lamb is still cheaper than at Costco. Thanks
The Choice website has a list of genuine free range egg brands which is helpful, and Woolworths homebrand butter comes from pasture raised New Zealand cows - just a cheeky heads up for my Aussie keto peeps.
My opinion on the hummus is don’t buy any of it at all. Make it at home and you know exactly what goes into it. If you have a food processor it’s a no braver fellas. It takes less than 5 minutes to make🦋💜
Hey Bobby, you should do a video on seasoning cast iron. Most people reccomend using canola oil or Crisco to do it but is that really healthy? How do you season yours?
I know! And I can't find it in our Costco either (we only have 1 Costco in Adelaide!) Thank you for putting out all your videos! Gaining so much info from them 😄👍
$7 a block of Kerrygold is hella expensive. In Las Vegas wal-mart it's $2.99 A block or at Costco $8.99 for three block. But then again, Australia have a higher minimum wage than Vegas. So it make sense that all your things would be more expensive. In the end, it evens out.
Nice to meet Vincenzo for the first time. I will definitely check out his channel. It sucks veggies like celery, cauliflower and spinach are so expensive at this store. I wonder what is the average of Australians gardening(vegetable)? Celery, cauliflower, leafy greens are very easy to grow on your own(especially leafy greens). You can grow in pots, windowboxes and planters like "earthboxes" or "smart pots" for relatively inexpensive. I started this way and I was amazed how easy it was. Lettuces and leafy greens home grown are so much more tastier and you can grown organically.
Yes things cost more but wages, even supermarket workers, are much higher in Australia versus USA. And Australian fruit and vegetables are a higher quality. Markets have better prices as Coles is higher prices. Make your own hummus. Macadamia oil is the best for mens health.
As I understand it if the meat says organic in Australia it will always be grass fed. Unfortunately Coles doesn’t stock a lot of organic items which is why I shop at Woolworths and local organic shops.
Bobby, I made your scrambled egg recipe this morning for Sunday breakfast. Holy Cow dude! The best eggs I’ve ever had in my life. Better than any restaurant. Thank you
I agree, food prices here in Australia are outrageous! They don't want you to be healthy here, such a disgrace. No wonder there is an obesity problem. It needs to change
I remember many years ago a lovely elderly italian lady stopped me in the supermarket when I was buying mince and she recommended the cheaper mince because it has more fat and will be much tastier. Good info. Also, as grass fed fat is actually good for you I have taken her advice ever since.
He is the best. I learn so much from you. I went to Sydney once, shopped at Coles and loved Sydney. Enjoy your time. Canadian prices are pretty bad also.
Hi, writing from Aus here. We have Rice cooking spray at coles that has no butane or propellant. It's about $6 for a can. It is the only non propellant spray I've seen. I got some about 3 months ago after watching your oil video. I found it in Coles in the oil section.
The ONLY reason theor groceries are so expensive is because third minimum wage starts at $16 an hour ...so their currency compare to US is higher , THATS WHY!
After seeing this eye opening video, it is not surprising why obesity has sky rocketed in Australia. If the truly healthy items are this costly, and unhealthy items are relatively so cheap, the nation is basically engineering a nutritional epidemic. It should be noted that, while this video does make the USA look like a food utopia, this is a mistaken notion. For those outside of the United States, the USA is hardly a monolithic paradise for health food lovers. Yes, in major metropolitan areas, if you can afford to live in or near the more affluent sections, you do have access to reasonably priced healthy foods. However, there are large swathes of America that are considered "food deserts", where people only have access to the most unhealthy processed foods. You are more likely to find a diamond on the road, than you are to find 100 percent organic grass fed food in a small grocery store in rural Alabama or Mississippi.
Sydney is expensive- if you want to eat healthy and clean it will cost you most of your wage. We’re so use to the prices here but whenever family visit from overseas they are shocked by the amount of money we pay for food.
This is very insightful. I'm probably like majority of people out there who don't actually stop and read labels... From now on i'm going to make that a priority :)
So glad you made it to a Sydney and saw our grocery stores. Very informative. Don't forget we have the USD to AUD exchange and our minimum wage is higher than the US. I hope you had a great time here in Sydney. Ps Vegemite is the best, we are all grown up on it. You spread it lightly on your toast, not a thick layer like you would for peanut butter
I've watched your videos and have got into that habit of looking at the ingredients and origin of where the product comes from. I decided to get the exact same almond milk with your tips before this video came out. Thank you for opening my eyes to shopping and eating smarter.
Great video Bobby and Big Vinnie. Yes, we get screwed with the lamb, actually, $32.50 is not the most expensive we have to pay. Regarding the price of produce, those prices are pretty much what I pay in Adelaide, with some upmarket fruit stores charging more. Finally, I love vegemite and have eaten it all my life, it's a major staple down here. P.S., see how you go cooking some Roo steaks.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's, and Peanut Butter we had back then we alway had to keep it turned upside down, otherwise there would be about a half inch of oil on top of the Peanut butter, so we just kept it upside down. Then they started putting an emulsifier in Peanut butter and we no longer had to turn it upside down.
So cool to see a video of you in such familiar surroundings! Would have been good to see a Woolies one as well, maybe next time. Also vegemite is delicious, I love it on sourdough with butter and smashed avo on top - so good! But you have to have grown up eating it. Most of us had vegemite and cheese sandwiches every day for lunch in primary school so we’re used to the taste :)
Bobby, I bought the other day Hummus that's canned and doesn't have any oils added ( so you can add whatever you want) at the middle eastern section at walmart and it was $1.56 (and that's Canadian dollar)
Did you see Thomas Farms. I found it here and it is Grass Fed Beef. I looked it up and it looked like to me it is Grass Fed, Grass finished even if it did not say so on the package, Did you see that in Australia?
Meats are often but not always dyed to make the product more appealing. The fluid one finds in meat trays is not blood but dye and or a protein called myoglobin. Chicken farming is much more complicated than your notion of birds running about eating bugs and worms. You should read about the dirty requirements of these animals before you go tooting your trumpet.
The celery price has shot up in recent months because of the craze for celery juice - I’ve seen yoga mums at the Adelaide market buying up a dozen bunches of celery at a time. It’s bonkers.
Hope you had time do Aldi and WWLS in Melbourne 😄 I think Australia only had two main super markets, Aldi is the third raising star, that may explain why we are so expensive or maybe the pay of regulation for farms and organisations are different, we are expensive to live...
I just started watching Vincenzo's channel, Vincenzo's Plate. LOL....it's funny. I like the one where he lists the Italian foods that your never cook or give to an Italian (LOL). I feel bad for Art, Bobby. While you are in Australia scoping out their best ingredients, from Kangaroo meat to honey, Art is stuck in the Windy City drinking Almond Milk, which he says is not milk (LOL).
Butter is ridiculously priced in australia. Additionally, we pay more for our produce as we value our farmers, as our farmers cannot get away with paying illegal immigrants $2 an hour like in the U.S. health foods like coconut oil and ghee etc are best bought at Costco, even in oz. vegemite is best described as a highly concentrated salty beefy flavour. Treat it like salt - use sparingly. Produce is expensive at the moment due to our “salad belt” having been decimated by drought in most areas, but then other areas suffered major flooding.
It's OK, Bobby doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. He hasn't factored in to the different economics of Australia vs USA. The Australian workforce is higher paid and food safety and quality is high.
If it is $13usd per pound it would be around $26usd per kilo. If you convert it it would come to 38 aus. Also Australia's minimum wage is much higher than us.
My god, thank you so much! After inspired by your oil video, I actually bought the macadamia oil before this video. I was really amazed the free range egg is different definitions between 2 countries.. I will find out the free range egg brand you mentioned in video next time, but how about the organic free range? Which one is better?
The prices change all the time on our fruit and vegetables in Australia depending on availability tomatoes could be $2.50/kg then go up to $9/kg so when they are expensive I go to the local fruit and vegetable market which is always cheap
Hi Bobby/Dessi, I am excited and ordered through Amazon your cookbook. I wanted to see if it’s possible to get both of your autographs? I lived in MD, Please let me know? Or Maybe a book tour in the future?
Omg 😛 you were in Australia, I wish you would come back & do the difference between whole cheese & processed cheese, like you did in your home state, we are always ripped off here in Australia, I wish Walmart would come to Australia 😢
We are getting ripped off because Australians are dumb 🤷♀️ no one questions the constant price hikes or the 27Mil profit Coles makes from a basic human right to freaking Eat the same way no one can afford to buy houses in Sydney because we capitalized on another basic human need housing. Capitalism is the devil

TOTAL ABOSOLUTE BULLSHIT!!!!! The average wage in Australia is lower than that in the US - Stop bullshitting just to make yourself feel better that Australia has the HIGHEST world.
@@hellototheworld Thank Christ someone jas some common sense.
Yay! Thanks for doing a coles grocery shop! So nice to see familiar brands and products :)
🙏🏻👍🏼
Supermarkets in metro areas and big cities in Australia are way more expensive than other places in Australia.
Bobby is right though. Coles and Woolies seriously jack up their prices. That's why it pays to shop around.
It's not just in the US where you can get goods at cheaper prices.
I've traveled all over the world and found similar branded items that are waaay cheaper.
It's one of the reason why so many Aussies, from Perth to Melbourne, do huge shopping trips to Bali, Indonesia.
What people don't realise is that they're paying a FORTUNE for some items in Coles. Some prices are insane.
When things are on special, stock up then.
Coles and Woolies had the monopoly for many years. There are many other grocery retailers with more reasonable prices these days.
Food in Australia is way better than in the U.S! Hands down!!
But then why is there such an Obesity epidemic in Australia , if the food is so much better ?
But we have a $18 minimum wage so everything is expensive
compare to most states here have under $10 hr minimum wage
So we get paid more we should give Coles more profit etc is wrong with people why are we so subordinate in making greedy corporation richer
No, it's only the average wage that counts, did you go to school?
I'm so glad you did an Aussie shop. Woolworths butter is apparently 100% grass fed.
AUD32.5 per kg is USD 10.68/lb, so cheaper at Coles
There’s 2.2 pounds to a kilo, so that’s 23.49 usd a kilo which today is 32.84 aud so it’s barely cheaper at all
You can cut the celery at the bottom and it will regrow it in the ground. That way you do not have to send so much on it.
Shelly K good tips, I think Coles or Wwls sell these root part cheaper😂
When you do the exchange rate and remember that all prices include tax, the prices aren't that much more than the US. Also the quality is far better.
Nice video, love Australia. The color of the beef has mostly to do with the fat content... What am I missing? You’re comparing color like it equates to quality. Yes, discolored beef isn’t good. But, how pink/white it is? That’s to do with fat content.
Also, $13 USD is over $18 AUD. Their lamb is still cheaper than at Costco. Thanks
Finally a Coles/Aus Keto shop! Thank youuu
The Choice website has a list of genuine free range egg brands which is helpful, and Woolworths homebrand butter comes from pasture raised New Zealand cows - just a cheeky heads up for my Aussie keto peeps.
👍🏼
Chickens eat bugs and worms = meat
First of all. Vegemite is great. But also - thankyou for acknowledging how expensive it is to eat here.
👍🏼
I live in Sydney and this video was of great help. Thanks!
Can you please go to Costco in aus and find some low carb/ Keto items x
i did not have time!!!
Hey do a Aldi one while here here please 😀 love these videos
My opinion on the hummus is don’t buy any of it at all. Make it at home and you know exactly what goes into it. If you have a food processor it’s a no braver fellas. It takes less than 5 minutes to make🦋💜
Hey Bobby, you should do a video on seasoning cast iron. Most people reccomend using canola oil or Crisco to do it but is that really healthy? How do you season yours?
if youre gonna buy roo meat, dont buy the burger patties if youre going for health. theres additives in the patties
I'm so happy you done a haul in Oz! You can get grass fed butter (Kerrygold) in Foodland- South Australia for about $7 a block
$7?? ouch
I know! And I can't find it in our Costco either (we only have 1 Costco in Adelaide!)
Thank you for putting out all your videos! Gaining so much info from them 😄👍
$7 a block of Kerrygold is hella expensive. In Las Vegas wal-mart it's $2.99 A block or at Costco $8.99 for three block.
But then again, Australia have a higher minimum wage than Vegas. So it make sense that all your things would be more expensive. In the end, it evens out.
Thank You, everything is more expensive but I love Australia is unique and people too.
Alot of veg prices are up due to drought. Also most dairy in Aus is grass fed not feed lot.
Nice to meet Vincenzo for the first time. I will definitely check out his channel.
It sucks veggies like celery, cauliflower and spinach are so expensive at this store. I wonder what is the average of Australians gardening(vegetable)? Celery, cauliflower, leafy greens are very easy to grow on your own(especially leafy greens). You can grow in pots, windowboxes and planters like "earthboxes" or "smart pots" for relatively inexpensive. I started this way and I was amazed how easy it was. Lettuces and leafy greens home grown are so much more tastier and you can grown organically.
So excited to see you went to Australia.
Yes things cost more but wages, even supermarket workers, are much higher in Australia versus USA. And Australian fruit and vegetables are a higher quality. Markets have better prices as Coles is higher prices. Make your own hummus. Macadamia oil is the best for mens health.
Vegemite is great with poached eggs and avocado. Also don't spread thick you only need a little bit
As I understand it if the meat says organic in Australia it will always be grass fed. Unfortunately Coles doesn’t stock a lot of organic items which is why I shop at Woolworths and local organic shops.
Interesting...
Bobby, I made your scrambled egg recipe this morning for Sunday breakfast. Holy Cow dude! The best eggs I’ve ever had in my life. Better than any restaurant. Thank you
love to hear that George!
I agree, food prices here in Australia are outrageous! They don't want you to be healthy here, such a disgrace. No wonder there is an obesity problem. It needs to change
I remember many years ago a lovely elderly italian lady stopped me in the supermarket when I was buying mince and she recommended the cheaper mince because it has more fat and will be much tastier. Good info. Also, as grass fed fat is actually good for you I have taken her advice ever since.
👍🏼
He is the best. I learn so much from you. I went to Sydney once, shopped at Coles and loved Sydney. Enjoy your time. Canadian prices are pretty bad also.
Hi, writing from Aus here. We have Rice cooking spray at coles that has no butane or propellant. It's about $6 for a can. It is the only non propellant spray I've seen. I got some about 3 months ago after watching your oil video. I found it in Coles in the oil section.
Hey Bobby. The conversion is 1USD is 1.40 in Australia. So some of those prices, lamb, may be cheaper than the US.
not much cheaper, but i am talking b4 conversion.
The ONLY reason theor groceries are so expensive is because third minimum wage starts at $16 an hour ...so their currency compare to US is higher , THATS WHY!
Have you ever visited the United States EVERYTHING is cheaper even with exchange rates we are simply getting ripped off
After seeing this eye opening video, it is not surprising why obesity has sky rocketed in Australia. If the truly healthy items are this costly, and unhealthy items are relatively so cheap, the nation is basically engineering a nutritional epidemic. It should be noted that, while this video does make the USA look like a food utopia, this is a mistaken notion. For those outside of the United States, the USA is hardly a monolithic paradise for health food lovers. Yes, in major metropolitan areas, if you can afford to live in or near the more affluent sections, you do have access to reasonably priced healthy foods. However, there are large swathes of America that are considered "food deserts", where people only have access to the most unhealthy processed foods. You are more likely to find a diamond on the road, than you are to find 100 percent organic grass fed food in a small grocery store in rural Alabama or Mississippi.
Sydney is expensive- if you want to eat healthy and clean it will cost you most of your wage. We’re so use to the prices here but whenever family visit from overseas they are shocked by the amount of money we pay for food.
isn't the USD like 1.3 AUD. so the comparison should account for that.
america use miles,pound,yard,fahrenheit and makes the whole world confused.
This is awesome! As an Aussie viewer, Thanks!
This is very insightful. I'm probably like majority of people out there who don't actually stop and read labels... From now on i'm going to make that a priority :)
Does Australia have the same issues with GMOs that we do ere in the US?
No
So glad you made it to a Sydney and saw our grocery stores. Very informative. Don't forget we have the USD to AUD exchange and our minimum wage is higher than the US. I hope you had a great time here in Sydney.
Ps Vegemite is the best, we are all grown up on it. You spread it lightly on your toast, not a thick layer like you would for peanut butter
i think you defo need to grow u with it ;) thanks!
I've watched your videos and have got into that habit of looking at the ingredients and origin of where the product comes from. I decided to get the exact same almond milk with your tips before this video came out. Thank you for opening my eyes to shopping and eating smarter.
Great video Bobby and Big Vinnie. Yes, we get screwed with the lamb, actually, $32.50 is not the most expensive we have to pay. Regarding the price of produce, those prices are pretty much what I pay in Adelaide, with some upmarket fruit stores charging more. Finally, I love vegemite and have eaten it all my life, it's a major staple down here. P.S., see how you go cooking some Roo steaks.
Don’t pick on Vegemite! 🇦🇺
Vegemite full of B vitamins
I grew up in the 50's and 60's, and Peanut Butter we had back then we alway had to keep it turned upside down, otherwise there would be about a half inch of oil on top of the Peanut butter, so we just kept it upside down. Then they started putting an emulsifier in Peanut butter and we no longer had to turn it upside down.
Minimum wage is 18.00 an hour compared to 8.25 in the US
What
So cool to see a video of you in such familiar surroundings! Would have been good to see a Woolies one as well, maybe next time. Also vegemite is delicious, I love it on sourdough with butter and smashed avo on top - so good! But you have to have grown up eating it. Most of us had vegemite and cheese sandwiches every day for lunch in primary school so we’re used to the taste :)
Bobby, I bought the other day Hummus that's canned and doesn't have any oils added ( so you can add whatever you want) at the middle eastern section at walmart and it was $1.56 (and that's Canadian dollar)
9:59 WHY ARE YOU HAVING A GO AT VEGGIEMIGHT😡
Did you see Thomas Farms. I found it here and it is Grass Fed Beef. I looked it up and it looked like to me it is Grass Fed, Grass finished even if it did not say so on the package, Did you see that in Australia?
Meats are often but not always dyed to make the product more appealing. The fluid one finds in meat trays is not blood but dye and or a protein called myoglobin. Chicken farming is much more complicated than your notion of birds running about eating bugs and worms. You should read about the dirty requirements of these animals before you go tooting your trumpet.
The celery price has shot up in recent months because of the craze for celery juice - I’ve seen yoga mums at the Adelaide market buying up a dozen bunches of celery at a time. It’s bonkers.
Hope you had time do Aldi and WWLS in Melbourne 😄 I think Australia only had two main super markets, Aldi is the third raising star, that may explain why we are so expensive or maybe the pay of regulation for farms and organisations are different, we are expensive to live...
You forgot Australia has Costco , IGA , Spar also
I just started watching Vincenzo's channel, Vincenzo's Plate. LOL....it's funny. I like the one where he lists the Italian foods that your never cook or give to an Italian (LOL). I feel bad for Art, Bobby. While you are in Australia scoping out their best ingredients, from Kangaroo meat to honey, Art is stuck in the Windy City drinking Almond Milk, which he says is not milk (LOL).
did you notice the security protected sticker on the lamb
I said the same thing to my family in Aussie that their prices for food are so expensive. She was like I want to go to America now lol
Omg you are awesome I was hoping you would have done this when you came to Sydney ❤️
Oh I loved this so much ! Hey Bobby, did you do a video in Woolworths and or IGA ?? I love to see it as I live in Australia 🇦🇺
Awesome video! Now I have to stop buying spray oils, thanks for all the tips.
are you quoting Australian dollars in your price comparisons?
donna davis I believe so
Butter is ridiculously priced in australia. Additionally, we pay more for our produce as we value our farmers, as our farmers cannot get away with paying illegal immigrants $2 an hour like in the U.S. health foods like coconut oil and ghee etc are best bought at Costco, even in oz. vegemite is best described as a highly concentrated salty beefy flavour. Treat it like salt - use sparingly. Produce is expensive at the moment due to our “salad belt” having been decimated by drought in most areas, but then other areas suffered major flooding.
For the flours I go to my local indian grocery, $16 for 1kg of Almond flour there. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.
👍🏼
Awww we use to live in Australia and I only shopped at Coles. ❣️🇦🇺
It's OK, Bobby doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. He hasn't factored in to the different economics of Australia vs USA. The Australian workforce is higher paid and food safety and quality is high.
Thanks for doing this video whilst in Australia.😊👍
That exhorbitant price for celery may be because of the current celery juice craze. Even with a drought, Coles did not look in short supply.
👍🏼
As an employee of Coles you have just surrendered all rights.
If it is $13usd per pound it would be around $26usd per kilo. If you convert it it would come to 38 aus. Also Australia's minimum wage is much higher than us.
My god, thank you so much! After inspired by your oil video, I actually bought the macadamia oil before this video. I was really amazed the free range egg is different definitions between 2 countries.. I will find out the free range egg brand you mentioned in video next time, but how about the organic free range? Which one is better?
Those are the kinds of prices we now pay in Canada for cauliflower and celery etc … it just happened about 2 months ago.
The prices change all the time on our fruit and vegetables in Australia depending on availability tomatoes could be $2.50/kg then go up to $9/kg so when they are expensive I go to the local fruit and vegetable market which is always cheap
Every dairy I have seen in Australia has grass fed cows. Aussie dairy cows live outside in paddocks and come in twice a day to be milked.
My McDonald's fries in Sydney came with a side of Vegemite, which makes total sense now if you're saying it's good for hangovers ;)
Hi Bobby/Dessi, I am excited and ordered through Amazon your cookbook. I wanted to see if it’s possible to get both of your autographs? I lived in MD, Please let me know? Or Maybe a book tour in the future?
thanks for buying the book ina!! we are working that out now..stay tuned
Omg 😛 you were in Australia, I wish you would come back & do the difference between whole cheese & processed cheese, like you did in your home state, we are always ripped off here in Australia, I wish Walmart would come to Australia 😢
i love that almond milk too i also drink the coconut milk in the same brand too
Crazy question nothing to do with this video. But have you made an updated version of your bullet proof coffee from June/2016
(AUD)$32.50/k = $10.56 (USD)/lb
You have to understand the currency difference... It's not $1 AUD = $1 USD... But man those are some crazy stuff over there!!
Hey Bobby, that almond milk you recommended has organic rice syrup in it, is it still healthy keto?
We are getting ripped off with our food coz we keep exporting it 😥🇦🇺
thats what I heard, total bummer!
We are getting ripped off because Australians are dumb 🤷♀️ no one questions the constant price hikes or the 27Mil profit Coles makes from a basic human right to freaking Eat the same way no one can afford to buy houses in Sydney because we capitalized on another basic human need housing. Capitalism is the devil
@@hellototheworld go to Costco or Aldi
Super interesting!! Going to Australia is my dream trip!
It is amazing!
nothing worse than a know it all yank!
If you think all that was expensive.. you need to come here to the Middle East and see how much money we bay for very bad quality of food
This is awesome! Thanks for coming to Australia
Thanks for the peanut butter tip Susan 🙏🏻
OMG Vincenzo my favorite chef from australia, the prices are high but the pay and benefits are great 😊
Vinny is great!!! yes...pay is high
@@BobbyParrish My fiance is from Melbourne Victoria, vincenzo and he's wife are adorable couple I watched so many of their videos. Bobby did your wife already have the baby? If not I wish you both a healthy baby and many blessings.
Thank you so much
Nice video Bobby
