Thank you! I didn’t include prices as they might change over time so what I show in the video could become incorrect. The good thing is that they have their prices listen on their site and often have special deals and offers. It’s free to get a membership for the public (if you’re not registering as a business). www.metro.rs/
@@gamal-salem one thing i have to share yogurt here in serbia is must have with every meal , we love our dairy products - myself personaly with every meal even sweets, nutela any kinda of sweet cream , fruit jelly all of them with yougurt, i love sweets and sour combo :)
@@gamal-salem well, I'm not sure what the procedure is now, but when they opened here in Serbia, they issued cards to retailers and other business owners, and without the card you couldn't shop there, also you had to buy in bulk. Then they saw it was a huge mistake, and they allowed buying individual items, but you still had to have a card to purchase something. Their business still wouldn't pick up so they changed their policy for non business owners to shop but you had to apply for a temporary one time purchasing (for a lack of a better word) permit when you enter the place. It was quick, you just had to give your ID, and they issued you a piece of paper with a code (bar code or QR code, I'm not sure), but it was an unnecessary nuisance. That's why you will rarely see a lot of people there. As for the best store, it really depends, in my neighborhood, there is a small store chain called "Orašac" very close to the farmers market from one of your previous vlogs, Vidikovac farmers market. They have very good prices, although not nearly as big as Metro, but in Serbia, we really aren't used to buying in bulk anyway, we shop for a day or for a few days at most at the time. Most people like to buy fresh groceries. As for other more commonly found stores, "Maxi" is the most popular followed closely by "Lidl", in my opinion
@@gamal-salem looks like my comment was deleted. When they opened here in Serbia they had a policy to only sell to business owners and to only sell in bulk. People in Serbia aren't really used to buying groceries for a week or a month. We usually buy fresh groceries for a day or for a couple of days at the time. As for the most popular stores in Serbia it's probably Maxi followed closely by Lidl
@@VodeniZekaI still see your original comment. But I totally understand why this concept is a bit strange for Serbs. In North America people LOVE buying in bulk. For me this was also strange when I first moved to Canada because in Egypt people shop daily or every 2 days especially for fruits, vegetables, bread. But if I compare this store to Costco, it’s way better. Bigger selection. Costco also charges a yearly fee for their membership and Metro is free for the general public. I love mega Maxi by the way 😁
Looks better than Costco! I'm planning on retiring in 4 years and living part of the year in Serbia which is where my parents are from, can't wait!
That’s a great retirement plan!
Better than Costco for sure!!
I agree!
Omg that meat and steak selection wow
I know, right!? It was incredible!!
Nice video bro, do tell the prices along. Will be very helpful. 👍

NO djevrek this time :P ?? at least no two hours drive :P
🤣 not this time but man I ate a lot of them while in Serbia. I also don’t think I had as much yogurt in my whole life as I had in Serbia lol

@@srdjanjovanovic6903lol my wife is the same. Yogurt with EVERYTHING!
@@gamal-salem lol :)
I hate these stores that look like a factory warehouse. I like supermarkets where goods are out of boxes and neat on shelves, not in transport boxes.
Where exactly in Belgrade is Metro store?
There’s one in Zemun but this one is in Vidikovac. They have another somewhere else in Belgrade too and several other locations across Serbia.
@@gamal-salem Hvala!!
Nema čemu :)
That is literally the worst store in Serbia
Curious what makes it the worst and what would you recommend as the best?

@@gamal-salem something similar to mega Maxi would be "DIS" or "Roda mega market"
