As a Bermudian I loved hearing your opinion I swear everytime I say Bermuda is expensive someone is like no it’s not so I’m so glad you did this
@@TonyFlorida
Do you know which visa services site I would like to know if I need a visa to visit Bermuda,
@@TonyFlorida
Thanks, I got the info that I do not need visa entry if I want to come visit, and do you have a service and tours company, inside Bermuda because I do not know someone there
@@TonyFlorida
Thank you, and I want to ask you whether Bermuda is safe?, are you an American and Americans come to Bermuda with Visa visiting?
@@oceanwave4142 they really do. we don’t have the additional taxes on our things because it’s already included in the price not done separate. We get taxed for everything. Our government also doesn’t help us. For instance if we order something from the US for $15 we get hit with shipping to our us address then we get hit with shipping it to Bermuda. It gets here we have a custom tax and a delivery tax.
@@KatzWorldOfficial is smuggling in household goods to avoid taxes a good business to get into?
Bermuda is definitely expensive. I was surprised it even surpassed NYC prices.
you haven't seen the video on Nome Alaska? they have $48 watermellons
And surpass Switzerland price
We're #1 in the world in cost of living. Thanks PLP, bang up job you bies are doing 😒
This is where I shop. The staff here is great!
😃
everything is imported thats number one reason its to expensive.
I've lived in Bermuda and The Cayman Islands and the prices for groceries are ridiculously high. Lovely places but very expensive.
Definitely beautiful places. You're very fortunate to have lived in those places
As a Bermudian I am finding it increasingly difficult to stay living here. Groceries are through the roof! Government put on a sugar tax so everything went further up in price. It's almost impossible to be able to afford to eat healthy and according to Government that was the reason for the sugar tax. The wages in Bermuda certainly have not gone up at the same rate as the cost of living. It's gorgeous in Bermuda but with beauty comes a price. I enjoyed watching your video as I have American friends that just are amazed by food prices. Yes we import most things but who is to blame for the prices? Government for import fees or grocery stores making money or most likely both. At this rate you are going to have people stealing food to survive!
@@TonyFlorida Yeah they put that in effect about a year ago :(
open your own store
can you vote for your PM or something?
We have a party system. There are two main parties.
It's not fair to instill these high taxes on an island nation, you have no other option. That is so unfair. In the United States if a county or a town raises their taxes on a certain item you can drive 20 minutes to a half hour or longer and find what you're looking for somewhere else for much cheaper. But in Bermuda unless you have a jet that you can shoot over to the United States to buy something for a cheaper price. you're screwed..... and I realize if you had a private jet you wouldn't even need to do that, so don't beat me up over that comment please. 😊😊
Seeing these prices made me so glad I'm in Ecuador.
Me for Germany
But you cannot compare your shitty country with nice island like Bermuda.The food prices are not everything in life.
As you talk about bread the supermarket has a $5.99 loaf . But the locals all buy from the Cake Shop on curving Ave. On Tuesday and Thursday from 7am to 9am for walk in person it was best if you bring your own bread bags . It was 10 loaf for $10 and was very tasty bread .
Oh very nice!
I’ve been to Bermuda and most of the products are imported, hence why they’re expensive. I went to Marks & Spencer’s and it wasn’t too bad in terms of price. I’ll prefer to go to Marks & Spencer’s and get proper British stuff, then get any of the American chemical processed stuff.
I am gonna be working in Bermuda soon.... thanks for this helpful video!!!
Most of food and supplies get import to the island so cost go up . Same to other islands need import goods more than any export going out to make any money
I didn't see the year this was filmed; because cereal is almost 8 dollars in US. How much is Papaya.... love that stuff
It's cheaper for local Bermudians to take 5 or 6 trips to the U.S. each year to buy clothing.
Woah that's insane
Those prices aren't too off from my local Whole Food store here in 2020
Even still, for 2018...that's kinda pricey.
Whole Foods probably have mostly the same prices across the US, but I'm just curious where you are located?
I need a blogger who can show the best B&B in Bermuda; also cottages on the beach. I used to live at Blue Horizons and they are a wonderful place to stay. A shout out to Brenda who is one of the owners. Also live in the Dagink area on Mckinley Base.
Lindos in Devonshire and Warwick, and Supermart on Front Street grocery store is much better In quality!
Miles market has good quality things too
It was funny you saying "significantly higher" in a calm mood. I'd call it an understatement for outrageously price gouging ! WOW! And they're taking payments in US dollars
Hahaha, yea. You get numb to the prices after some time. AFAIK, the Bermudian dollar is 1:1 with the US dollar.
Everybody seems to forget that everything has to be flown in from thousand miles away and flight cargos are very expensive. Beside, the current value is Bermudian dollar, which is a little less than Us dollar
Very true
The Bermudian Dollar has the EXACT same value as the US dollar wtf are u talking about
@@kgb3209 no need to swear. Try to take some bermudian dollars abroad and change them in any bank, you'll be surprised how much they charge you compare to USD
@@umbertotucci1970 ofc they charge more for bermudian dollars, because they are only good in bermuda. it's the same for scottish or northern ireland pounds. they are exactly equal to english pounds but outside their respective countries they are bought at discounted rate.
Wow, for a British territory, had no idea how totally American it was.
What about energy bars, peanut butter, dried fruit, nuts, bread, butter?
If you really want to get more better comparison , look up kroger amd HEB , pick any Houston TX location and start comparing prices. I chose this part of the States because is generally cheaper than others. You might get cheaper by choosing s popular large chain store in Arkansas.
I didn't realize Houston has such cheap grocery store prices
Weird that Bermuda is British but all those products in the store look so foreign.
But mainly WHY ARE THE FROSTIES CALLED "FROSTED FLAKES"??? It's like they're bootleg knock-off Frosties but they're legit because that's a legit Kellogg's product with the same branding. Also as a cereal fan, wtf are apple jacks? Isn't that ones of the ponies from My Little Pony? And what the fuck was that crisp aisle, that looked like an alien planet.
Frosted Flakes are the American version. Very popular in the States. Apple Jacks are also a well known cereal. It's funny to hear you call them crisps because we call them chips :)
Please do visit buzz restaurant at hamilton bermuda. The bakery lane and try to taste their food for us. Thanks
Buzz is nice but the food is expensive and the import taxes/ sugar tax could be the reason in price hike! Some foods increased by $3-$5 in the past 2-4 years.
3x more expensive than here in the UK. I'd be looking to buy local seasonal stuff at the market.
Wow, yeah I agree
Come to Aruba It's also expensive
I am from North India worked in Bermuda more then two decades Bermuda is very affordable island if like single person own a studio apt not paying a rent have a stable job or couple with one or two kids have their own 🏠 house both with stable job can enjoy life. Other hand person having stable job but paying rent and lone then really very expensive just can survival whole life . From, North India
What job did you have in Bermuda?
As Bermuda is a British overseas territory you should be comparing it against pricing in England. A bag of salad would be 99p or maybe £1.50 so does seem expensive but it's offset by other tax benefits.
Good insight!
It looks like they use US dollars and all the products are American though.
As I remember magazines were very pricey. Just go read them at the library.
Good tip
Comparable but significantly higher?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful article. You have a new subscriber here.
Awesome, thank you!
the prices in bermuda then are the prices in usa nowl
As a Bermudian my favorite grocery store is Lindos
Good prices?
Someone might’ve already asked this but is the island sustainable from its own food or is everything pretty much shipped in?
Yep I lived in Bermy on a work visa in 1999 till 01 it was thru the roof then I could only imagine right now another thing is they didn't have a fish market made no sense to me
Oh wow yeah
Saffron is expensive af, that 21 bucks is cheaper for that amount of saffron than here.
Oh wow
What do you expect if everything is imported. Do you want them to sell it for the same price that the bought the goods for plus shipping plus salary.
Exactly. It's similar to the Hawaiian islands, or anywhere else for that matter, that requires most of their goods to be shipped.
I don't think he's being critical, just letting people know what to expect.
Janie Hollis the prices are high but minimum wage is also high to. A job at this store is like an entry level job in Bermuda and style start pay as a cashier is $22 USD per hr. I have an average job in Bermuda and I make $36 per hour.
@Janie Hollis you should research before you comment. These people are taxed to death. Import duties in bermuda are outrageous. The gov't is the one to blame. grocery stores operate on a thin profit margin. can you imagine how much electricity and how much it costs for refrigeration?
Could you check out how much beans in a bag costs. Love your segments by the way😀
Thanks :)
“Geography person” and just found out today that this was an actual country
😃
Well yes, but actually no.
You mumbled the price of the cucumber. What was it?
Can you use a charge card?
I’m surprised to see mostly all American brands (and only major brands at that!) Don’t they produce any local foods of their own? Of course imported food will be costliest. Also some of the prices aren’t as low in the USA as he says they are. Especially not in Florida, where I live. For example Red,yellow, or orange bell peppers are about $2.50 to 2.99 each. I haven’t seen them sold for a dollar anywhere in the last 15 years. And I’m a major bargain hunter!
You gotta check out Walmart. Bell peppers are $1.38 in Tucson where I live now.
And yes there are definitely local brands. I can't recall the name, but I ate local musli for breakfast everyday. I guess I was just surprised to find all these american brands so that became a focus of my video.
Yes more expensive than the US but if you are living and working in Bermuda you're earning more than you would in the US and you're definitely paying less tax!
That's a good point
eventually amazon drones will deliver from US mainland using drones that can fly around the world 10x without refueling.
I cannot wait until that day. Do you think it'll be in our lifetime? Maybe considering just a few decades ago cell phones didn't exist.
As a person from and lives in bda the stuff is more expesive because everything needs to get shiped over here . You see the ships alot achully
NO HATE
Yes I would agree with that
The pricing is the same as here in California Bay Area.
So expensive relative to where I'm from in Pennsylvania about an hour and a half from Philadelphia
@@TonyFlorida Ok Tony. for real estate pricing. Look on Zillow at rentals in Palo Alto or Los Altos California. Studio 3k a month.
👍🏼
🙏
I understand. You're actually paying for the importing of foods on cargo ships, same as Hawaii.
Yeah exactly
I would imagine so. Why else would everything be so expensive?
it's more than that. the grocery stores are making way more profit. yes, they pay more, but they're not just passing the added cost along to the consumer, they're adding in additional premium price gouging. then they'll claim "oh we pay more." it's a big scam.
Hawaii is the same way. The islands are very expensive to live on like Bermuda. They say you're paying for the importing of foods and other goods coming from US cargo ships.
Ye Poora island kitne ka hoga...........
Any idea.... Bermuda island........
we are catching up the Quaker oats box is $6 in New jersey shoprite
Yikes haha
Compared to Loblaw's or Sobeys in Canada these prices are a deal! Loblaws and Sobeys care more about their record profits than they do about Canadian families! Shop Walmart!
:)
So everything is basically 50% more in Bermuda. Got it!
:)
can i ask something did you about the salary there in bermuda its perhour or monthly
How much is a apartment?
Just record the price and then comment over later when editing video
That's an option
How do the locals survive there? Perhaps there are smaller grocery stores run by local people? Or do locals perhaps do gardening & grow some veges & fruits themselves? Just curious.
Yeah good questions. I think you're probably right... There must be cheaper local stores
@@TonyFlorida there are cheaper stores but only by a couple of dollars
Also %85 of your our food comes from grocery stores
Hi, if I order groceries from the US and have them delivered, do I have to pay taxes? For example cereals, Bounty, or toilet paper.
Oh yeah. Depending on the item, tax will be 15-35%. In my experience and tests, its not really worth it to bring in groceries. Might be if you do it on a large enough scale though. However a much better idea would be to open an account with butterfield and vallis or one of the other wholesalers with a few families and just get all your groceries in bulk from them.
Hi what price is olive oil? And coconut milk? Also is there a fishing industry - can you buy local fish?
Olive oil $4-$8, Coconut milk $1.89 -$4, local fish is awesome but expensive. It can vary from $15- 20 a whole fish or $20-30 a lb of fillet
Why is everything imported? It looks like a local supermarket in nyc. I was expecting more organic fruit, vegetables
Bermuda is a small island (series of islands actually) and cannot produce enough locally so they must import
It's only 24 square miles, and a lot of that land has houses on it
what currency are the prices in?
@@TonyFlorida Trinidad and Tobago currency is 6.5 to 1 so the prices seems relatively the same in my country. Thx.
Bermuda Dollar which is on parr with the U.S. Dollar, both are used on the island. Many locals shop at some stores where bulk purchasing is available to get better prices.
Dude, where in the US do you live and shop? Supermarkets in the smallest of towns are expensive: NY, FL, MD, etc... The only places to get cheap produce are the open/close Flea Markets Peace
I lived in PA and MD most of my life. Shopped at grocery stores like Giant, Safeway, Walmart, etc.
Not true. every supermarket isn’t expensive
But in Bermuda like most normal countries they pay taxes and get free healthcare , subsidy on their education. So who Is paying through their nose really? Bermuda or the USA?
Valid point
Good recipe
Thanks a lot
How about sharing a flat or room is it expensive and the price of transportation is it high as well ???
I’m planning to make a move to Bermuda for work
What advices can you give me please ?
Many thanks
Tony Florida thank you for the quick response I appreciate your kindness
A room share will cost you about $1,000 per month to share with 2 other people in a 3 bedroom. That is excluding water and electricity. But sometimes you can find deals that can include it for $1,000. But a 1 bedroom apartment is about $1,500 per month.
IMPERIAL SNEAKER TROOPER thanks a lot
How are you doing? Do you recommend visiting Bermuda?
Great!! If you like ocean and can afford it
Good
Google earth shows Bermuda 40% underwater scary future :,(
wow super expensive as for myself eating healthy .....shocked price of avocado almost 3 dollars ..
Ikr!
@@TonyFlorida I would love to live there but I see it's expensive living 😱😔😔
this isnt super far odd pricces in Ontario
Oh wow!
Everything is imported plus tax ….. it can't be cheaper than USA . I don't understand why in Bermuda the same mineral water has different price from one market to another , the water I buy cost $ 1.85 per bottle in Market Place in another one cost $ 2.20 , 2.60 , 2.80 for the same bottle ! I know now where is more convenient to buy : olive oil , water , pasta , meat , fish , wine …..I don't buy everything all in one place , for me will be very expansive and the quality are different also from one shop to another one , good quality is Miles but is impossible to buy everything there too expansive for me , I can't say the name of shop where I don't like the quality of fresh meat , fish and veg but I see the price are not too cheap also . Compare the price same product different price .
The duty I not high for food
I thought about Bermuda as an alternative new home. 3 RUclips videos later: nope.
LOL
"PANAMA R ELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE! !🙋😊👍❤ 👈"
$10 for a box of cereal WOW I heard houses can go for $100,000k not bad
I live in Bermuda. Trust me if a house is being sold here for $100,000 ...run far away💨🏃
I wish my house was that much, whew😥
As house here is way more than that
Guess I read bunk info lol. Thanks
How are the prices at the farmers market?
Should be coming cheap because so many people go there to holiday.
You'd hope so

So Bermuda uses US $ ? Though British...
Bermuda used the Bermudian dollar which always has an exchange rate of 1:1 with the US dollar. Both currencies are accepted in Bermuda
"In February, 1970, Bermuda converted from its former currency, the British pound, to a
decimal currency, termed a dollar, On July 31, 1972, Bermuda severed its monetary link with the
British pound and pegged its dollar to be the same value as the U.S. dollar."
I lived in North Las Vegas Nevada mariana market/ el supper market cucumber 4 $.99, avocado 3 $.99, apple 3lbs $.99, banana 3lbs $.99, beef $3.50 per lbs onsale every week. 99 cents store 2 big bell pepper $1, 3 big romance lettuce $1.99, broccoli $.99 lbs if I live in Bermuda I will starved to death. I don't think I will enjoy vacationing expensive place and pay high price.
Yes Bermuda is relatively expensive
Is there a real market to go to vs this option?
If by real you mean like a grocery store chain, then no. This is one of your best options
Hello i am from india my brother is going to shift there can u plz let me know the indian supermarket product prices and how costly it will be . It will be of much help Ty in advance
Hi, Tony, Are u American? From which state are u from?
@@TonyFlorida Hi hi, nice knowing u, I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. Don't u wanna come over here and make some Vlog video abt seas and beaches in Thailand? U can bet green-blue sea and white sandbeach here is world's one most captivating place...
A can of sardines is cheaper there.
LOL
I only know Bermuda beacouse I search levi tea shop on Google map
Yeah it's a tiny island that I guess a lot of people don't know about
Ok, you are not being fair. You have to realize that everything has to be imported. Stop comparing Bermuda with the USA. Get off the air….
Yes you're right, mostly everything is imported
That is not expensive for an island.
Well I’m hoping everyone has a job and gets paid “extra”
We can hope :)
Pay in Bermuda is okay, the typical gross pay ins$75k USD. My household income is about $310k (3 adults income) 2 average jobs and 1 management position. If y’all think the food is expensive you haven’t seen anything. The cars are 2.5 - 3x the price of cars in the US. And the average house cost 1.2 million USD.
Cheaper than Australia
Oh wow!
Those prices are ridiculous
Indeed
just ask John Carr to lower the prices.........
Lol
Never compare Bermuda price to U.S, U.Kat all every thing import except some veg and eggs Bermuda grocery staff and labours are much twice expensive then U S and U.k . One lady comments telling same full Bermuda if person don't have a money don't visit just stay home or visit cheap countries like China, Vietnam,South America without knowledge don't comments .I am from North India worked in Bermuda more then two decades never compare price with Bermuda because I am getting my check in dollars like in India apple one dollar per kg in Bermuda single apple one or 1.50 milk in India one and half ltr one dollar in Bermuda now 4to 5 dollars per ltr do never compare different country different price look their geography what they produce or import air fare taxes etc . From. Singh North India
I might be weird, but I personally find it very interesting to compare grocery store prices to the US when I travel.
It seems very expensive, then again, they must be more fit than Americans...
For sure

When you shop in Bermuda, be aware there are two jurisdictions. One is in the Western part of the island; with its modern, cookie-cutter box shaped buildings. It is operated under socialist democracy principles with communism mixed in.
The other is in the Eastern side of the island. The governing system is an autocracy in conjunction with capitalism. The eastern side of Bermuda was carved out by Britain in preparation for the island's independence. Once this is achieved - around 2024 or 2025 (felix Todd revealed it), then the east end of Bermuda will transition to communism in totality. But not before the steering committee disbands. Their presence in Bermuda will be about 25-30 years.
From that point onward, the international watchdogs will monitor Bda.
Food expensive?! Yes, you know you're in the midst of trouble when you encounter high food prices. No-one should profit from FOOD. Everything else supporting it but not good itself.
Bermuda needs a lesson from the health industry to make the point. Obesity arises from NOT EATING.
Interesting perspective 🤔
High food prices is directly linked to obesity. One cannot buy nutritious food because the cost is high. Snack foods are high in pricing also yet lower than the cost for a proper meal.
Obesity is the human body telling you "we're in feast and famine mode! This biological function puts weight on. It has to stop.
The best way is to deal with the supermarket cartels who work together to keep food costs high. Investigate and determine who they are.
There mostly local rich families who jack their prices up when they really don’t have to since they obliterate the competition.
The buildings in somerset tend to be pretty old. Box shaped is just how we build. That’s how they survive 100+ years of hurricane seasons.
Do NOT shop at The Supermart in St.George's the staff are very rude and the prices are very high.The manager was high on weed and his eyes were dilated.
@@TonyFlorida The Marketplace (Supermarket) Crawl,Bermuda.
That was 1 person calm down. Maybe the staff were having a bad day.
