Today I went shopping with my mom to one of the most popular stores in Germany Edeka It’s a pretty big grocery store and we walked around to find the different prices compared to the prices in America The grocery store is really big and I thought it was very organized and clean After we are done with shopping we went to a farmers place where my mom tried to buy some flowers asparagus strawberries and apples

Your mom is seriously adorable. They talk about people with a smile that lights up the room, but she is the purest example of that I’ve seen. Give her big hugs from her friends in New Mexico ❤️
Great content GIG lol! Mom is so 😎 cool!
Same ! New Mexico , USA in the center of the historical Route 66 trail . Drive to Santa Monica and head westward . Bring mom too she'd love it .
❤🤗
She is, you just want to give her a hug because she is so adorable. Her smile is so nice and it brightens my day.
Wow his mom look so younger GOD BLESS HER
For all who are wondering how cheap groceries in germany are: please keep in mind that Edeka in one of most expensive supermarket chains.
Aldi and Lidl are ~ 30 % Cheaper and have the same things.
@@wolfgang6915 they have some products who are the same but Edeka has way much more products while Aldi and Lidl focus more on discount products which are of course cheaper. Edeka has also discount prices with „gut und günstig“.
I am actually surprised because in South Africa we pay R16 for a cucumber while in Germany it is R4.99
No, it's not. That was decades ago. Today I went to a so called "Discounter" with apparently cheaper products: Strawberries 3,99. At Edeka: 2,49 and GiV's Mom even bought some for 1,99
@@eily_b go to aldi. It’s 1,79€ right now
The joy of clean German groceries. I love Germany.
Come over here 👍
@@KASPA-KEY for sure
@@KASPA-KEY u havent tried dutch bread, thats for sure😜
@@harryraam9566 the Dutch are known throughout the World for baked goods-Bread and Pastries !
@@KASPA-KEY Sorry to dissappoint you, but German cows/beef is generally NOT Grass-fed, rather grain-fed as anywhere else really (soy, maize, etc.). Furthermore, German Beef, unless you acquire organic beef, is in many cases extremely bad quality. If you purchase organic milk/beef, it is more likely to be at least in part grass-fed (and at least you can be sure the fodder does not contain pesticides). But any other diary coming from "regular" cattle is not particularly better quality than in the US. Please don't think everything in Germany respectively Europe ist instantly better than in the US. It is much more nuanced than that. I am from Germany but have lived for many years across several other nations in Europe. I also visited the US many times, and even lived in Asia etc. Generally, my take is that in terms of food quality, Germany is somewhat more extreme in the sense that the regular stuff you buy, such as bread, meat, milk, etc. if you don't pay attention and just go for what is cheap, you get very low quality compared to any other country, as i.e. France, Ireland, Sweden, etc. where the basics usually are somewhat more expensive, but also of more quality. If you go out shopping with the intention to buy high quality food, you will get high quality food with quality ingredents in Germany, just as you would anywhere else in Europe and America really.
Mom can’t find a flower 🌹 cause she’s the flower she’s looking for we love mom Mike she’s so sweet 😎👍🏻🦅🇺🇸 🇩🇪
Your comment is so sweet. I said Awwwwww...
Genau!
Happy to see your mom again her smile warms my heart
I love seeing you and your mom together. She is PRECIOUS!! And, it's fascinating to see what the stores in Germany offer, compared to the US. America is broken in so many ways!! Thanks, Mike, for bringing so much fun and joy to our lives. What a great escape!!
Hi Mike! I'm a full-blooded German born in the US with close family still in Germany. 'subscribed because of the German videos; you lift my spirit with your humor. Liebe Grüße an deine Mutter 💐
As a german i can say, you have a realy beutiful name. =)
Your videos are always the best💯 I do receive a notification each time you post a new video.. We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
Nice content mate! there's no doubt crypto investment is the key to future wealth, So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency. Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.
I wanted to invest more in crypto, but the fluctuations in crypto value discouraged me into dumping.
@@roberternest4641 Crypto trading is the best investment anyone could get into. As it could make you rich in a blink of an eye, trading with an expert is the only key to successful trading
@@lea5898 Exactly which is why I will always recommend Expert Arjun B Jagat to all Newbies/greenhorn interested in making bigger profits on crypto. He is reliable and profitable
I have heard a lot about investments with Mr Arjun B Jagat and how good is he, please how safe are the profits?
Very nice store I think they have more things than here in the USA, certainly no food shortages there. Thanks for sharing
Sunflower oil is for me the Standart. Because Ukraine is the bigest Producer WE have some shortages.
we had a shortage of sunflower oil and toiletpaper.. a liter of Sunflower oil costs 1.79 but it went up to 4,99. Same with toiletpaper, you have to be lucky to get some or you buy the cheap low quality toiletpaper
There's actually quite some food shortages. Pasta (like during Covid), canned tomatoes because no cans and if there are some they tripled in price for the farmers, no sunflower oil for months and now. 4,99€ for one liter which was just 85 cents before the war.
@@eily_b here in the US the store shelves are sometimes very low, even this year. Last week they where full. Prices are way up. Our president blames Putin which is a scapegoat. Biden's policy is to tax.
Haha is that some joke? They dont have to much article
I live in Switzerland and cross every now and then for groceries to Germany, it’s a no brainer: Massive assortment, great prices and I get VAT back. Love Edeka and Real, Kaufland is also alright. The excitement comes at the end of the journey trying to avoid the Swiss border police and their tariffs 🤣🤣
I've been loving the Germany videos man! Keep them coming bro!
I respect the fact you love your mother and have her be a part of your videos.
That was really fun. You have so much more to choose from. The breads are outstanding! American imports seem dull next to all the variety from around the world. Good one!
Kind of reminds me of Whole Foods without the ridiculous prices... We have one local chain here in Louisiana, comparable to this, but still.. too expensive...
@@fdddsigns7274 But imagine this? how is that food prices in the US have been so cheap until the recent inflation no where in the world was food ever so cheap like in the USA why? Because you use alot of undocumented labor and gmos mono culture but that has a price in the long run guess what they are...? imagine the true cost of food if you have to factor in the massive environmental pollution or if you had to pay a proper living wage and health care and other benefits to those working the fields in california.
@@fdddsigns7274 You are keeping the food prices artificially low but imagine we have a reset o devaluation of the dolar or inflation and finaly you are presented with the true cost of your food....
Our imports are dull because we prefer cheap food. We get what we pay for.
I know I am getting jealous watching GiV's Germany videos... so nice and their prices seem better than ours even when adjusting for currency.
That store has better food than anything here in the US. You are having so much fun with your mom. She keeps you at your best behavior!
You haven't been to many stores, have you?
@@stevemcgowen So, you get your jollies ripping on people? Here you go-- "Your ripping meeeeee! waaah!"
america grocery stores are a joke, especially compared to german grocery stores, i have been to both multiple times.
Edeka has quality, unlike Aldi Nord...
@@angb8182 Everything's loaded with artificial colors, GMO, and other poisons...
16:44 reminds me of the fruit stands my grandparents took me to decades ago in Utah. Little cart of cherries or whatever on side of road near farms. You get what you want and leave the money in a little box. Honesty, integrity, community...such wonderful memories.
I watch Heavy D Sparks Videos on RUclips and Utah looks realy beautiful.
And yes i love these community of the old days, i hope we can go back to that for some extent and dont import everything and get the all the stuff from Walmart and so on.
Wow, it's fantastic they do that with fruit in the US too. Here, I think it's only flowers. :)
I guessed 128 Euro! By the way, $1.08 = 1€ today. Crazy that people get their panties in a twist when Mike says “dollars”! Thanks again for the great video!
GIV: listen to your mom and don't argue with her. Help her more often.
Fantastic supermarket, good prices, the store is clean, organized, and has everything I would need. I love the baileys, baileys in starbucks coffee, the best.
Adorable mom and son relationship🥰
Glad mom is back in the picture …. Just LOVE her smile
Be well u two
🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs to all
It amazed me quite a bit when your mom took out the phone to check what plant it was😃
She's awesome 👍
"Mom can you open the car please? Haha No that's not my car!" Love your Mom.
Hello from California ❤️.
Another wonderful adventure with your mom. Her nails are fabulous! 🤩 That store is so clean and beautiful, and stocked with so much choice. The tile pattern on the wall behind the fish counter.....sooo 80s...Q-Bert Video game! Loved it! The Amaretto....what a bargain! The self-serve trust in the flower field was refreshing. It makes me want to come over to Germany for an extended visit!❤️😉
That is a beautiful store, there's so many delicious looking things!
And the cut your own flowers field is one the sweetest things I've ever seen. Thanks for letting us all tag along on your holiday 💕
An open field with no guard to watch! So much Trust in your citizens made me tear up 💜.
@@allialias We even have fields with strawberries, raspberries and other fruits where you can harvest as much as you can. At the end you have to weigh everything and pay a small amount of money :) pretty cool! Best regards from Germany
@@Wurstteufel That sounds like a dream. We can see the fields of flowers or fruits from the motorways. There are farmers that sell strawberries and things in small baskets by the roadside. We are not allowed to pick or gather anything though. People here in America just are not trustworthy on someone's private land I guess...Greeting to you from California 🌞.
The honor system wouldn't work here in America as people would just cut flowers and not pay.
@@allialias That's because hardly anyone would pay, they'd just take the flowers and leave.
I love shopping at the German grocery stores
I'm an American from Alaska in Colorado watching A German In Venice in Germany...in English.
No grocery bags. That would be hard to get use to. Ugh. Hi Mike’s Mom. You’re looking marvelous! xx
Zuerst ist es hart,ja, war es hier auch. Aber jetzt hat jeder einige Taschen aus Stoff oder recyceltem Plastik im Auto und Zuhause. Oder in der Handtasche.
Man gewöhnt sich daran. 😁
Your mom is such a joy!
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I enjoy all the German videos I lean so much and enjoy seeing you and your mom together
Present 2 likeable and adorable people, like this Krefeld boy and his mum, then even such a banal process as a weekly shop becomes a great story.
I miss Germany, great country. Everything is quality.
Wow, you brought a lot of memories when I was living in Germany 🇩🇪😬 Danke!
Loving all the Germany videos, especially those with your momma. It's really sweet, yall hanging out and taking us along for the ride. She seems like the loveliest of people! :]
Here in Florida the strawberry growers are planting flowers in their fields for the rainy season. The flowers are free, you can just come and cut how ever many you wish.
Your mother is so happy that you are home visiting her.
This whole time I thought I knew everything about Google but thanks to your mom I learnt something new today Loving the German store videos btw 🙏😊
Enjoying the insight's man, keep up the good work, Germany looks awesome, Berlin and the Bavarian regions and Black Forest are on my list of places I need to visit.
I live in NYC...amazed at the affordable pricing on food items.
That was too cute when u grabbed your mom's shopping list with the grabber 🤣
That supermarket is so much nicer than we have in the UK.
Dude, you crack me up with no crack. Too funny. We were watching you last year about homeless in Venice Beach. In Germany, really nice to see. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing your mom always makes me miss mine. 🥲
I have been in the Grocery industry for 50 years. We in the USA always think that we have the best of the best. Our stores cannot come close to your store. What a shame that our grocery industry has not kept up with the rest of the world.
I just retired from the grocery biz 28 years, it's all about the profit, every item has to 20-50% profit.
Everything looked orderly. In America, except for the luxury stores, stores don't really have such nice presentation. And I love the little lockers for your items you don't want to take into the store.
Very true. A lot of grocery stores in other OECD developed countries are orderly, have good presentation of products and are actually clean due to health and safety regulations. Additionally, the food industry in the US is shameful too since a lot of preservatives and chemicals we use in food production here are banned in the EU (and I think other countries also) But that's a whole 'nother topic...
The Grocery Stores in America Look like a Store in a 3rd World
Country. I see that in MD, NJ, KY, New York State, TX, Washington DC
The Grocery Stores in America Look like Stores in a 3rd World Country
OMG, all the good groceries including "Vollkornbroetchen" and "Vollkornbrot". The prices are unbeatable besides a huge selection on every item.
Your mom knows, what is good and healthy. She is some kind of German "Hausfrau", very practical too.
And you was gaining weight, Mike, no wonder with this food. Say hello to your lovely mom, we all love her ❤💕.
Really enjoying your Germany vlogs, and love seeing your sweet mother! That's an awesome grocery store, and the prices seem reasonable...less than what I am currently paying in Tampa Florida.
Yes, cheaper than where I live. The Euro and dollar about about the same exchange rate, so you can mostly say the Euro and Dollar are sort of at parity 1 dollar equals 94 euro. as of early 6/22
1 dollar equals .94 euros....
@@iworkout6912 Yes, I did the conversion before I commented. Prices in Florida are currently our of control. The German prices are much less, with conversion, compared to Tampa. An example, some frozen Tyson chicken tenders I like sold for $5.99/bag just 2 months ago. That same bag now is $10.00. I quit buying them. Prices are Super Walmart, the least expensive option in my immediate area.
@@KR-sh6rm prices going up here too..
Yup they are lying to us again saying Europe is suffering with inflation..
Your mom is awesome Mike!! Her smile is contagious! Another awesome video!!
thanks loved it you make me miss my mom stay safe
I love the flower garden, amazing based on trust!
Moms a technician… like her son! God bless you two!
Your mum reminds of my dearly beloved mum who has now gone to heaven. Your mum has a lovely smile and you can tell she loves you and dotes on you. My mum was the same.
As to the shop...very clean indeed and well organised. I think most Aussie supermarkets are similar without all the different sausages you have and the range of bread. Most good supermarkets here have their own bakery attached and they do have a range of craft breads but what I saw in this video was amazing. No Aussie wines??? I thought they were popular in Europe???
I am enjoying your videos a lot...really light hearted and fun!
I like the way you do the videography and the coverage, point of view, including pointing local interest. Good sense of humour. Great job friend.
Servus!!! Absolutely LOVE your channel!! Only stumbled upon it today!! Already, I binge watch it!!! Best wishes to you and your mum! :)
I think I need to come shopping over in Germany... so many things we dont get here in the UK.... I want the Currywurst chips! And was nice to see Asterix still available to kids there. I didnt know they were still writing them, loved them as a child.
I feel like this is the type of content RUclips was made for. Great stuff!
I lived in Germany in the 80s.. that spargle price just floored me..I can remember buying it for 2.50 marks..
That's like at least $200 worth of grocery in the US right now. I love the German vlogs. Had the pleasure of driving from Denmark through Germany to Belgium before but didn't really explore too much of Germany. I'm sure I will explore Germany again one day! Your mama is WAY TOO CUTE! ❤
If she went to Lidl it would've been way cheaper.
Either that or Germany's groceries stores are going crazy with inflation, too. I used to spend about 1/4th or 1/5th in Germany as I did in US. For instance, I remember Milka being about 70 cents a couple years back. So the prices to me are quite wild!
@@swissy5608 Everything gets more expensive right now, thanks to inflation here in Germany.
A pack of chicken filets went from 3 euro to 4,50 and other things went up 10 or 50 cent and so on.
Actually closer to $136.00
Here in Canada that would have been at least $300 to $400 dollars.
@@bradwick212 Thats like $230 USD which is what we spend a month being on the low side, and you guys make much less. I think you guys work 32-38 hour weeks? And you guys are on call right?
It makes no sense, you guys are closer to agriculture and meat mecchas of the US and Mexico.
Do you guys have higher tax rates on these business?
That doesn't make any sense .. lol.. are you in some like far away place of Canada?
I live in California too I wish the grocery stores had the prices Like that I love your videos keep showing stuff about Germany I love Germany Can't wait to get down there
My mother was born in Halle, Germany so I am very familiar with German food. My favorite meat dish is Roladen. Absolutely delicious! You have a great mother Mike! Enjoy every minute you can with her. You only have one mother. Keep these videos coming from Germany Mike! Be safe!
Ich hasse Rolanden!
Ich lebe in Krefeld und es sieht geil aus!
Mike, thanks. Great video. Your mom is a lovely lady.The German grocery stores are clean and excellent.
New viewer but I've loved your German content. Very down to earth and the grocery stores look so much nicer than the States. Danke.
Nothing beats trader joes and whole foods, those stores are much better then Edeka.
An interesting slice of life. Good to see your mom. Chicago Grüßen!
Have you ever done a video on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn?
Honesty the best policy with picking your own flowers . Another outstanding video.
you would be a great teacher for english students learning German. just watching this the langauge is coming back to me. ....sehr gut!
Hi Mikey😝. I seem to remember when I was living and studying in leiber Deutschland there was a Punk song about Edeka back in the 80's by the Idiots. I don't know all the words, but here goes. Edeka, Edeka, ist wunderbar, wunderbar. SONDER ANGEBOT! SONDER ANGEBOT! EDEkaaa! Sorry about my poor spelling of German punks songs, but that was one of our favorites back in the day.
What a great looking store! Well organized and very clean! Love watching you and your mom shop together…so cute!!
Hi Mike from New Zealand. Absolutely brilliant. We love your videos. We love the way you look after your Mum. Lovely lady. You are very good at making videos and perhaps you should expand making travel videos. Keep it up, excellent!!
Very clean store, good selection, and great prices! I did not believe that food prices were cheaper in Germany but it looks that is true.
Deine Mutter ist so nett. Das ist immer toll, wenn sie in Deinen Videos zu sehen ist.
Lucky Luke "French" = a dagger through every Belgian heart
Yes!!
Haha iam sorry, but dont be mad, Lucky Luke is on the same level as Asterix here in Germany and that Comic is french, so stuff like that get mixed up from time to time.
The quintessential cowboy to me .
@@henriklarssen1331 And Goscinny who was born in France (also author of
Asterix) was co-author
When you first posted your first German in German video - I got hooked and subsrcribed.
So interesting! Amazing selection! Beautifully clean & well organized. 🛒 Very reasonable. 💵 Your Mom is an absolute treasure 💕
Great video Mike! 👍
Wow the beer is so cheap in Germany! Hello from Canada...another beer drinking country!
Chears or Prost we say in Germany, Beer is really cheap in Germany, you must be careful if you visit Friends or go to a Restaurant - Drivers License.
Mom is awesome , always in a good spirit.
That is a big supermarket. So many choices. I would spend a day there just deciding what to buy. 😆 Glad your mom is feeling better. Spending time together is important when you get older. I really miss mine. I wish I could of had more time with her.
yay Mom is back! So cool to see you both shopping. Mike, buy flowers to your mom💐🌷🌷🌸🌸🌹🌹
That was so awesome to see you shopping with your mom. Thank you Sir!
Now that's my kind of store!
Awesome breads and everything seems well displayed and maintained.
It' s nice to see you two together! You're mum is wonderful!!
great video, loved shopping in German grocery stores..
Let mom feed you while you're there. She loves her boy and wants to make you feel special. Hi mom!
I love the vlogs with your Mom😊🌷🌹 that supermarket is amazing.😊 The prices here in the Netherlands are sky high 😱 Today eggs are 1 euro and 25 cents tomorrow they are 2 euro and 25 cents🙄 take care Mike 😊🌹
Lol! Your Tshirt! And loving your mom putting those cold drinks right on top of the frozen fries! Cold needs cold!!! Great prices at this grocery story! Love the size of that lettuce! I want to try the pretzels you like! You r right....the flower thing would never work here in the USA!
The flower thing doesn't really work here either. Ask the farmers. Most people pick a lot of flowers and then pay only for one or so. I really don't know why they are still doing it.
Your mom is adorable!
So.... I've been watching your videos for over a year now, finally Subscribed to your channel today. 🤣so I just want to say God Bless you and your Mom is adorable 🥰 I'm from Atlanta Ga.. Your Videos reach everywhere! Can't wait to see Germany through your eyes! Cheers,✌️🪗🗝️🚲🍽️🍷🍻🥨🍞
Great vlog! I have to go to Germany. So nice and cheap... Awesome...
Love seeing your mum shes always smiling its very heart warming
Mike, wir vermissen dich in Hüls! Come to Hüls and we will invite you for a good Pizza at the Italian place on the market place where we live!
Greetings Dale and Sandra

Excellent share. After all you’ve shown me about Germany, I could easily live there.
Love your Mom's smile. The prices seem quite reasonable.
I got hooked on Asterix and Obelix as well as Tintin when I visited my Grandpa in Belgium for a couple of summers in the late 70s.
