Red peppers are just green peppers that are allowed to grow for a longer period of time to get the color change. So Green____Yellow_____Red. They all start out as green
Your video very obvious and excellent. You clear up everything when it comes to grocery in Canada 🇨🇦. Best video I like 👍 your explanation

I really love this video! It just makes me so calm and happy. Thank you for this and keep making more supermarket videos like this. Love from Dubai.

Awesome cool video. Very informative and fun. I hope Costco have better prices. The Christmas decorations make the scenery better.
I live close to Canada. I have some friends there and went shopping with them for a picnic. No wonder they come to NY for food. The prices are crazy.
Ha ha yesss !
@@AndreavanNiekerk Why would you leave a beautiful country like South Africa for Canada. We're a few years away from total socialism
@Cat 123 Uh I'm from Canada Einstein!! I think you might be hitting the bottle or bong a little too much!!
Great video !!! It's really interesting and helpful ☺️ the product here in Philippines is pretty pricy than in the Canada ! ☺️💚 Please do more videos like this 🙂
Great thank you - coming up!!!!
Awesome video, please do more. We are still in South Africa but planning on immigrating to Canada next year. These videos helps alot!
Good luck ...but never forget home
Hope you make it on the exchange rate!
Is the anti white sediment causing u to leave SA
So are we. We are planning on going in 2025....
there is the classic store
let's call it 1.0
products almost never change
the owner chooses the products
it is boring
now, there must be a new store
let's call it 2.0
products always change
people choose the products there will be via an app
on the app, there is a huge catalog, people choose the products that will show up in the store
the store is constantly being supplied with the products people chose.
I'm not sure why but this is one of my favorite videos on the site.
Thanks so much !!!!!
Beautiful place 😍💕💕
Red peppers are more ripe than other peppers. They're all the same plant. It takes longer to ripen, so they cost more since they can keep replacing green bell peppers and grow more in the same timespan. Thanks for the look at grocery prices. We are about to move to Toronto from the US.
Yay Chris! Thanks for the info
cool. thanks. definetly tha best info about it
This was truly a great and helpful video. Clearly explained.
Thank you so very much Dana!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hello what's good?
Hi I'm from South Africa thanks u for your video there really helpful .
So exciting vlog.i found it very good and informative
Dream to go Canada for study and then live there permanently 😊 Thanks for your cool video this was awesome. I wish my dream will be true 😇
Thank you! It’s a pleasure.
Believe me it won't be no dream! More like a nightmare
I HAD FUN SHOPPING WITH YOU
Never knew that actually, i always noticed the red and green and yellow in one bag at food lovers , so i would just buy the combo.
very helpful !!
I live in south-west Ontario. To all who watch this review: don't get your hopes up that stores as good as this are in all towns. This store is only in major centers like Toronto or Ottawa and is an upscale store chain owned by Loblaws. Most grocery supermarkets do not carry such a variety of mushrooms, for ex., just 1 or 2 types. Especially Walmart has much less variety than other stores like Real Canadian Super Store. They have even shut down their deli counters.😡 And the discount grocery chains, such as No Frills (owned by Loblaws), are the same but prices are cheaper. If you want the variety shown in this video then go to dedicated fruit/veg stores like Longos. Also go to farmers markets when they are open in the spring/summer.
Hey!! I just love your videos!!! Could you pls make more?
This is just excellent damn! Watching from Jamaica.
Thanks so much!!!!!
Andrea thanks a lot to make these kind of interesting videos,,, Subscribed your channel and pressed bell icon so that I shouldn't miss a single informative video.
Awesome, thank you!
One of my favorite grocery store. I especially love the hot food section. I live walking distance from fortinos and definitely it's one of the very best along with Longo's and Loblaws. I shop at Longos too which is just across from fortinos. Would you be able to make a review one day on Longos? It's Italian too and in my opinion a very nice grocery store which carries a large variety of food too.
Aaah so glad you love it! I love Longos too - their pre-made food section is INSANE! With Covid, it’s been so hard to shoot videos! Watch this space though!
Superrrrrrb
Beautiful every is packed and in order
thankyou somuch mam for putting effort for this video and for us too. Loveyou❤️
From Nepal 🇳🇵❤️
Samikchayaa Shrestha such a pleasure!
This video is very important ..thanks
Can you please do more grocery shopping videos. I really enjoy them.
Sure, Covid makes it so hard! I’m on it!
Thank you so much for video
Great video.
Oh I also wonder if you can do a video on how you, or other South africans cope with winter, I am really a sunshine person, and want to prepare mentally to deal with the winter, cloudy, snowy days, I was thinking craft room. Would love to hear about others experiences on this. Thank you!
Cool - you got it!
Thank you!
Hi Andrea, It's useful and helpful video.😳👌
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! I have such fun making the videos! Please subscribe to get the updates!
Fortinos is great. We are optimum plus points collector. I personally collect points from getting gas and redeem the points for grocery.
It's so surprising how you don't feel weird about people looking at you and just making a video in a shop, I guess people are truly laid-back in Canada for real. Australia vs Canada, 0 - 1 score to me.
I thought Aussies were pretty easy going?
It was nice 👍 thank you 🙏🏻
Great video
Wow the milk varieties are crazy!
I know!!
great video !
The trolley-escalator is the coolest thing ever ! = D
I know right!!!!!!
EDITED. I watched your 6 things about school in canada. What about the STATIONARY, In SA as you know we have to buy the stationary, uniform (summer and winter) every year end, and cover them as well as workbooks sent from school. Thanks Andrea!
Check the expiry date on the chicken (6:30)
hi andrea you do it well, i like the way you say it, more interesting if you tell more life and students in canada (especially during quarantine like now) i love your video, love from Indonesia❤
Thank you Widya! Appreciate it. Will do what I can to help!’
Now THAT... IS HOW U DO A GROCERY SHOPPING VLOG.
Awwwwwww thank you!!!
Here in Southern California we don’t have such a big supermarket with this many varieties, I will love to see that kind of grocery store or something like carrfur in Dubai everything under one roof with lots of varieties.
aaaah no Abdul! Sorry about that! I guess often think about the US being bigger and better!!! Come and visit Canada one day!
Go to a Super Walmart in Southern California. It has everything. Or to a Ralph's.
Yes, definitely, very, very important when driving on Canadian roads in the middle of winter...
You do actually need windshield washer fluid, and lots of it, like all the time! Along with the best wipers you can afford, of course.
But don't get suckered. Windshield washer fluid is windshield washer fluid. They're all the same. Get the cheapest windshield washer fluid you can find.
True Canadians never overpay, LOL
Go to Spadina and Dundas Chinese Market stores. You will buy all kinds of meat 2 to 3 times cheapper , there !!!
Fabulous - thank you!
Hi queen good video I like it
Hi queen please share me truck driver job video
Love how you don't have to hold onto your handbag!
I know right?!!!!!!
Lol! Really??
@@adamsmorphine190 bruh
Lovely
Excellent... Keep this type of vedioes fur3
"Why are red peppers more expensive...?" The difference between a green pepper and a red/orange pepper is two (2) weeks. They all grow big as green and then turn yellow/orange/red over the next few days. At the same time their taste evolves better. But a farmer can grow more fruit in that time with an earlier harvest and make more money. So it costs more for the farmer to wait an extra 2-3 weeks. Lately they are selling packaged peppers in 3's or/yel/red and separate greens. Greens are still cheaper/lb/Kilo but the colourful ones are not so bad. 3 peppers in a bag is about 1 lb and taste better.
Excellent
Hey so you asked why red peppers are more expensive. All colors of bell peppers are the same variety. If they harvest them sooner they are green, then they become yellow, then orange, then red. So you are paying for the length of time they take to grow.
This is the best piece of trivia ever! Thank you so so so much.
I like the way u talk😘
Check out Nations Find Foods. There is one in Hamilton, and Vaughan, I think.
Ok thanks!
The one in Jackson Square ?
@@CreativeCat879 yes
great video
Glad you enjoyed it !!!!!!! yay
Hi Andrea!
Thank you for and love your videos!
As a fellow South African but from Joburg, could you maybe do a video on or advise on the best types of clothing for winter?
I noticed your boots and jacket in this video - is it better to buy down jackets and snow boots in Canada instead of here in South Africa?
Thank you,
Monique
Thank you! I would say yes it is better and also cheaper here and much, much more variety! Winter here is not like winter in SA...!
Canada is a nice country
I visited it twice in 2019
Although groceries in Canada are relatively more expensive, they sure as hell have much more options and products and variety. They also have much bigger sizes. That to in a small simple store.
More expensive than where? Fortinos are large stores.
Terry French He’s probably comparing to the US where it’s much cheaper, especially in like Walmart
@@emartinez2740 We have many Walmarts with grocery departments in Canada too. But, Fortinos is part of a large chain owned by Loblaws and they're known for being high end grocery stores.
I’m from the UK, is that vat included or is there a bit on the receipt it says vat $3.45?
Mandeep Singh Sidhu - tax is excluded in all pricing that you see. HST is added on after ward at 13%!
Andrea van Niekerk Thanks for the quick reply Andrea! ☺️ Dream is to visit Canada 🇨🇦 soon! 2021 Ambitions
@@BeingSardar stay in UK. UK Is better than canada. I am in canada and here is so expensive
Thanks for sharing is this at Toronto or which city? And are the prices the same at different cities?
This is in Oakville ...! Thanks for the support
Thank you
Seems like a well stocked PnP like the one in Norwood JHB. or CheckersHyper We've had the self checkout at the Pic N Pay at Obs in Cape Town.
kay6096 that’s cool!
Nice video hope u do a next one.
nice atmoshphere
I would trade Wollworth's in Sud Afrika for Fortino's any day. If I could go through a portal I would go shopping in Sud Afrika because the prices are cheaper for the most part and I think the meat is tastier. The white girls are much more friendly and beautiful and can easily be picked up at the grocery store, even if they do carry a gun in their purses.
Thanking you very must for updating This video. One side Feel great to watch this show. Another side feeling scare to come to this Place. Because Since I am a Indian..and Indian Currency is Less value @Canada.
But I Feel Great to see entire this Video . Because I am a Employee OF H&M Hennes & Mauritz @ Indian
I know H&M Work Culture and H&M Values and H&M Work environment.Therefore I want to be Proud OF H&M. And make me feel good to watch this Video updated show. [ Also H&M is Located at Canada Toronto.]
Finally .I want to thanks all Canadian and H&M in Canada.
Thank you. Hatsup you. ❤️ From India.
The video is awesome, I find very curious to check supermarkets from around the world. Something that shocked me is the absolutely gigantic amount of products that needn't being in packaging and are just surrounded in plastic. It's massive fridges of plastic and not products! Aren't there any policies in Canada about disposable useless plastic in supermarkets and restaurants, for example? It felt frightening as I watched the video.
Hello what's good?
Hey did you actually do a video about the wiper fluid for winter?
Oooooh no! I will do a separate video on filing up with gas and the wiper fluid!
@@AndreavanNiekerk Ah will be looking forward to that! I live in Singapore so I have no experience with snow and anything to do with clearing snow 😅
Excellent video. I've just found your channel and subscribed. Just one comment. Maybe the higher salaries justify such high prices in almost all the items shown, except two. Compared to Mediterranean countries, the prices in a Canadian supermarket are at least twice as high. A kilo of quality mince beef costs 7-8 euros, and a whole fresh chicken costs €2.90/kilo. The only items which are cheaper are the eggs and the potatoes, for some reason.
The higher wages here are not enough for people living on minimum wage (and a lot of employers love to pay minimum wage or only slightly more). I'm seeing a lot more homelessness than I've ever seen before. Housing prices are ridiculous. A 2-bedroom in my area, which used to be one of the most affordable cities, is now about $1,300 for a one-bedroom apartment. 😳

I hope you have the Pcoptimum app. I worked in the call centre based here in South Africa. They have amazing offers. Get them points lol
So just like a big u.s. supermarket but with a poutine aisle

Hey there.. your videos are very informative, just wanted to find out, what is the process you used to go over there?? Was it through an agency ..did you do it on your own.. or?? Thank you 🌸🌸
Hello Lisa! We moved through my husbands company.... but made use of an immigration agency called Canada Abroad. Make contact with Werner, let him know I referred you - such great people!
Very interesting thank you! Prices are pretty comparable with SA
Nicole Carr great, I thought so too. Regardless I think that it is expensive for the average South African to pay those prices on a South African income!! Also the denominations freak me out....it just feels crazy expensive to say I paid R35 for a coffee!
Andrea van Niekerk hehe yes exactly! The cost of living in SA is very high considering our average income levels and low standards of service delivery etc
thank you ! I've got every information that I need
So glad!
fresh products
Love canada from cambodia
Awesome!
Love you
is it true there is no sugar
