Inside Migros: A Swiss Supermarket Experience with Price Comparisons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2023
- In this video, I'll take you on a virtual tour of Migros, one of the largest supermarket chains in Switzerland. Migros is known for its high quality and locally sourced products, but one of the biggest differences I noticed is the prices. Groceries in Switzerland can be quite expensive compared to other countries.
To demonstrate this, I've included price comparisons in both USD and PHP to show just how pricey some items can be. However, I'll also show you some budget-friendly, but still high-quality items that you can try, exclusively made by Migros.
Despite the prices, grocery shopping in Switzerland can be an enjoyable experience. You'll find a wide selection of fresh produce, including fruits and vegetables that are locally grown. Migros also offers a variety of Swiss-made cheese, chocolate, and other specialty products that are worth trying.
Join me as we explore Migros and learn more about grocery shopping in Switzerland.

As a Nova Scotian, a small province in Canada, I can say these prices aren't too crazy compared to what I pay locally, other than the meat does seem more expensive by far.
Thanks a lot for the video, it's covered by almost all food & chocolate products along with prices. I really liked it and it helped me a lot. 😊
You are very welcome! Glad you liked it. ☺️
In the future those people that complain about "foreigners coming over and stealing jobs" will be wishing that we all still lived this way and that A. I. hasn't taken over everything, I wonder how many jobs would there be in this supermarket if it hadn't been for this feature or being able to pay using your phone?
I love to shop there thank you so much for you share this video with everybody
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. 🥰

I'm from America, and our shopping experience is very similar😁
So cool! ☺️
te pink nag subs nako sau jeje
Haha thanks cuz ❤😂
At R20.04 (1 CHF = R20.04) to the South African Rand, makes this supermarket very expensive ! 😳
That is true, very expensive indeed. 😔
The difference with SM vs Migros is that Migros is owned by the employees while SM is owned by the Sy Family and poorly treats their employees
Prices are about the same in Jacksonville Florida USA
Oh, I see then it is not sooo cheap 🙈
Cheaper then Fairbanks Alaska ❤
Hi po! Magkano napo yung conversion ng 1CHF to PHP lately? Sa internet po kasi nasa 63PHP = 1CHF pero from other Filipino vloggers, they say it’s 70PHP po. Or mas nag mahal napo? Huhu
Foreign exchange rates are constantly changing and it is based on current market conditions, kaya wala talagang exact amount na pwede kong masabi. Exchange rates are subject to change at any time. Tama yan always check on the internet what is the latest conversion para updated ka. Enjoy your day. ☺️
I like cheese 🧀
Haha, I love it too!! they have plenty of cheeses to choose from 😃
Chocolate mine
Of course, their chocolates are the best! 🍫
I'm shocked in Switzerlaand you don't use gloves to touch unpackaged vegetables and fruit.
Thanks for your comment! While gloves aren't commonly used in Swiss supermarkets for handling fruits and vegetables, hand sanitizer is often available at the entrance of the stores for customers to use before shopping. Additionally, some supermarkets do offer disposable gloves for customers who prefer to use them, especially during the ongoing pandemic.
Where do you live that that is normal? Around the world it's very normal to touch things with your hands
@@UK-nf3ui In Italy. In every supermarket/store you must use disposable gloves before handling unpackaged fruit/vegetables. In fact it must be a typically italian custom as if you see someone not using them it's usually a foreign tourist entering an italian supermarket for the first time. 😁
@@UK-nf3ui Suppose these people have come out of the toilets without washing their hands?
@@harddriven1344 I'm not saying that there's not disgusting people out there, I'm just saying it's very commonplace in the majority of the world
Funny that the plastic bag you use to purchase the vegetables are not in Mater B means is not compostable plastic made out of organic material, they are mandatory by law here in Italy. Moreover you don't know where the fruits and veggies come from, here all the products are labeled with their country of production. I don't wanna buy tomatoes from Holland, for example, just 'coz are terrible at taste.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. I genuinely appreciate your feedback and concerns regarding the use of plastic bags and the origin of the fruits and vegetables featured in my video. As conscious consumers, it's crucial for us to be mindful of the environmental impact and the quality of the products we choose.
In Switzerland, efforts are being made to reduce plastic waste, although the use of compostable plastic bags may not be mandatory in all supermarkets. However, many stores provide alternative options like reusable bags or encourage customers to bring their own bags as a means to reduce plastic waste.
Regarding the labeling of the fruits and vegetables, I apologize if it wasn't clear in the video you watched. The labeling is primarily in German, and it's possible that you may have missed or misunderstood the information. However, in Switzerland, it is a common practice for produce to be labeled with their country of origin to ensure transparency for consumers.
You may have come across labels saying "Herkunft siehe Verpackung" or "Schale," which means "Origin see packaging" in English. I apologize if this was not clearly conveyed, as the labels are predominantly in German.
I value your input and will strive to provide more clarity in future videos.
@@pinkyinswitzerland Thanks for your kind reply and still do the good job you do filming and telling your point of view on Svizzera. We also go to the grocery shop using our own bags. And if we take some bags from the grocery after that we use it to pile up the food waste from home that have to be putted into only Mater B bags and thrown away in dedicated waste can that we have, to be collected on some specific day of the week
To clarify, the distribution of free plastic bags (as shopping bags) is no longer available; they usually charge CHF 0.05 for these, which is intended to reduce plastic waste. However, as fruit bags (which are usually perforated), these are free, as otherwise you would have to stick the label directly onto the product (which is ultimately difficult to handle).
By law, our prices include all taxes (and in the service sector including tips), which means you pay the marked price at the checkout.
Boring
Salary 20-30 ch hour ---- 21-31 euro/1 hour work ,,, Switzerland is the best country to live in Europe but have to much to much rules,,,more rules that Germany
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Switzerland certainly has its pros and cons, but overall it's a beautiful and prosperous country.
What kind of rules?
🤣 Yes, we have a lot of rules and (local) laws, but most of them make sense and are in the interest of peaceful coexistence.
E.g. (unwritten rules) you stand to the side at the door of public transport so that people can get off first (which is actually logical so that all new passengers have space).
If you are visiting someone, you take off your shoes before entering the apartment (unless the host says otherwise).
3 kisses to greet you (2 are just not enough🥰).
When clinking glasses, make eye contact with the person in question and never cross your arms with others who are about to clink glasses.
For example, the law stipulates quiet times (noon-1 p.m., night-time rest 10 p.m.-6 p.m., which also extends throughout Sundays and public holidays). During these times you should not drill holes in the wall, vacuum or play excessively loud music.
Then there are the old laws, etc. regarding toilet flushing, which is rarely used today because the other tenants hardly notice this anymore.
A lot of things are prescribed, but just as much is based on mutual tolerance, so in my case (in the city of Basel), especially in the summer, almost every weekend there is a party in the courtyard of some local resident, which can easily go on until 1am in the morning no one has a reason to call the police.
There is another joke about this; "A Swiss man goes to a neighbor's party to which he was invited, leaves at 10 p.m. and calls the police at 10:10 p.m. because the party is disturbing the peace." Just kidding, I can't imagine anyone doing that (sensibly).
Things are different when it comes to order, cleanliness, recycling, here the tolerance limit is practically zero, we want to keep our country clean, everyone has to pay for the waste they create (those who knit and recycle wisely have less waste and therefore cost less). Wild disposal can result in very high fines, as can using public transport without a valid ticket or driving too fast.
