Damn the content! So good! I think folks in the Diaspora especially, want to see these types of things as I know people are interested in moving to Africa but want to know that their lifestyles wouldn't change too dramatically (in terms of goods and services that are taken for granted in the West)
Hey, Vanessa my name is Antonio Carlos and live in Washington DC USA I’m a Subscriber of your channel on RUclips I found you because me and my family are moving to Ghana,Accra and I’m let you know I’m very pleased with great videos you put on we have 3 small kids 2,4,6 year old which is very challenging moving from Washington DC to Accra,but anyway Thanks for the hard work you put to your channel and you are helping a lots of people out there take care.
I would have preferred seeing local products, promoting Ghanian brands and industrials, and not the UK. We need to support made in Africa on the continent and create more jobs.
Native born Ghanaian's probably don't eat most of the foods in that supermarket, so they import for those that want it! Dude was eating coconut out of a sandwich bag, or whatever it was, no fancy wrapping, not rice cakes, potato chips or cookies, and he was good with that!
It's very amazing how the owners model this type of grocery store like the Americans. Why all the cleaning products? I didn't know that Ghana 🇬🇭 had a large demand in that area. I learned something new again. Great video! Thanks.
Greetings Vanessa Kanbi, thanks for sharing this video on grocery shopping in Ghana, however I am vegetarian - Vegan. I look forward to your next episode or edition on vegan shopping in Ghana.
Yeah same prices, just the average wages are 15x lower…meaning that these products only the wealthiest people in Ghana can afford (it’s basically like buying a new Porsche in the US)
The government has no plans to create factories 🏭 for the manufacturing of our own products but rather relying on foreign imported sugary foods with higher prices. All the factories Nkrumah created are all shut down since his overthrown.
Do you realize that the average wages there are about 20x lower than in America. So you need to multiply each product x20 and then you’ll get how expensive everything is for the locals. Like that almond milk was around 3$ that equals to 60 USD!!! Would you be able to afford one milk for such a price?
That Duncan Hines cake mix for $5.50 is high; in the US it would be half that around $2.50. It’s full of artificial flavors that give it a weird flavor anyway so it’s actually better to make your cake homemade. Love the videos! 😁
It would have been really cool if you did a tally of items you buy per week. So like a small family(3 people) and what the cost for everyone eat. Or like a single person and tally all food expenses and cost at the end. Multiply weekly cost by 52.2 to get the annual cost per year. So if you spend 45 dollars a week on food that’s adds up to 2,349 dollars a year on food alone.

It depends where you buy your food. At the market it’s cheaper and it’s fresh food. The super markets is ‘expensive’ . It’s better to buy things at the market then random small things from super market.
Hi Vanessa! Watching you from France I love your videos😊 I see a lot of imported goods at the food store its crazy. Do they sell and promote local ghanaian brands at these stores? Is it common for local food brands to export outside africa? If so can you please make a video about it?? Many documentaries shows african countries importing goods but rarely exporting finished goods all packed, like cereals, popcorns, or box lunch...🙏🏾
I thought the same. A couple large ones only 10 canadian dollars. Throw about 5 in my luggage should last a while. Or do a barrel and ship a lot of non perishables as I always do. So much cheaper.
Well it just like here in Boston Massachusetts And it expensive and wow no Coupon here in USA 🇺🇸 we have price cut love it (v)anny Boston 🍗🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇬🇭🇬🇭🇺🇸❤️💔💯💯💯💯
thanks vanessa, the only way we can keep the youth in africa, is to let them know, africa has more to offer than europe, usa or asia. but ghana is more than accra, tema and kumasi. we need to develop the whole country. by the way, where is your husband and child? are you guys living in ghana? greetings from germany ✊🏿one africa
Love seeing the Milo, that stuff spread all over the world, although, Nth America has some crappy version that disolves, not the crunchy version found in Australia and Jamaica, which type is it in Ghana?, hopefully the original cruchy one that rises to the top of cold milk!!!
I have to say im VERY surprised normally the imported goods are VERY expensive im born in the Caribbean and the imported goods are extortionate! but these prices are no different to the UK supermarkets. Also shocked at the range of recognisable brands also which is great too. Just hope they don't squeeze out the local products/industry. Great video very helpful
@Kimoy there's usually a balance of local and foreign products in every major store these days - locally made chips, essential oils, grains, fresh meat and fish, bread and most veg are always local, but it also depends on where the store is located and who they are catering to. Max Mart is situated between Cantonments, Airport And East Legon which are high income areas and the main areas where expats live so items on the shelves are geared mostly to them.
Just hope local Ghanaians won't acquire tast for this product and stick with the local foods. Because these foods would make them sick and out of pocket.
A regular ghanaian wouldent go there. Its foriegners and those wannabe " polish" ghanaians who go there to buy those. chemicals. Most ghanaians will only go there for diapers and other luandry stuff
Think the point of her video as she said was to show diasporeans who want to move here, that they can get all the same things they're used to in Ghana as well. She was not trying to showcase made in Ghana products.
Thanks for sharing hun, thought stuff would be cheaper in Ghana. Alpro £2.30 when we buy it for £1.40. Uncle Ben's Rice 2 packets for £1 in POUNDLAND, hmmm!!!
Nice to see. What would a local family of four spend on groceries a month, Say parents are both government school teachers and children are under five and they live in Cape Coast. What might be their weekly spend?
Efua why are you being a distractor? The video is just letting people know that whatever is in Europe or North America can also be found in a Ghanaian shop. If your salary is not high enough why go there to shop? What about the expats who work in Ghana, should they always continue to ship their groceries from their home countries? Do you want to see Ghana as a place where no foreign products could be found because they are out of reach for the people you described?
Depends where you shop? Buying imported groceries is always going to be very pricey. However if you go to the markets and do your shopping (or send someone..) you can cut your groceries down. I suspect for family of four, you could easily spend 1000$ a month on imported groceries. Maybe 300$ if you minimize imported stuff and shop at markets.
You are right she didn't show the most important part if you going to do a video then do a good one people who doesn't live there can have an ideal if they want to move there or not.
I’m tired of the rona. I need it to die so i can go to Ghana (or go anywhere tbh) without fear of getting ill. This video made me miss it even more😩 Also LOOOOOL why are they selling Waitrose brand products? I wonder if that means Waitrose are actually shipping their brand to Ghana🤔 that actually explains why I see the Waitrose sign in Accra on that building
Is organic different on African products compared to the US? I use to always buy Organic till I attended a US food and beverage conference. It’s amazing how they get away with openly scamming the public on organic products. They slap that label on, and raise the price. Even though they still use many pesticides and herbicides, many times even more than products without that “organic” label. Which, in the US, simply means that the one applied to meet the USDA's production standards for the term. It’s really screwed up.
It’s quite sad to see all the Waitrose goods there it’s one of the most expensive supermarkets in the UK. Does this supermarket specialise in foreign goods.
It carries both local and imported products just like any other supermarket in the world. Obviously Vanessa being from the UK gravitated towards brands she knew.
@JayChristian most of the condiments like Nescafe, etc are produced locally at the local Unilever or local Nestlé plant. Just because they have a foreign brand name doesn't mean they were produced locally. Also if you pan back you'll see the bread loaves shown had the names of local companies on them. There are aisles also dedicated to made in Ghana produce. This is a large grocery store. She didn't even show 1/4 of the stuff they have in there including the meat section and the full bakery, pharmacy section, etc. She just showed a few basics.
Is there a local chocolate industry in Ghana, I would hope so? Not good for food kilometres to export the raw materials all the way to Europe then ship the finished product back to Ghana.
That same store has a meat section that sells fish, red meat, turkey, chicken and various hams. She only showed 3-4 aisles in the whole store which is actually a 4 storey building. You didn't see even 1/4 of what was available there unfortunately
@@jesusmywholehaschanged not advisable to buy fresh meat at our markets. You can buy fish cos it's caught fresh everyday, but meat - you do so at your own risk. One always buys meat from a proper butcher or grocery store
@@jesusmywholehaschanged OK send me your email address. When I go shopping over the coming weekend, I can take some pics/vid and send them to you (if I'm allowed to). It will be at a different, slightly less expensive grocery chain though.
@@mikeprat1 lol there are local American shops here where you can buy in bulk. You can also buy locally made flour and oil. It's not expensive. This is just one grocery store that caters to a high end clientele. You can Google Game or Shoprite for a slightly less expensive grocery chain in Ghana. Also Google Farmers market Accra.

Thanks so much for watching!! xx
This was great thank you. I plan to cook more instead of eating out next time I'm in Ghana. I saw things I would normally buy.
Hahaha I will go to Max Mart specifically to buy the wooden pegs. The plastic ones that I use here tend to get brittle from the sun and break. Cheers
The wooden pegs are far more better and durable than the plastic ones. I am in DIRE NEED OF THEM. I will surely go and get my supplies.
please do more video depicting the area and essentials to live in Ghana thank you
Thanks Vanessa this is very useful,VERY!!! USEFUL INDEED!!!!

Some items in that shop are Ghanaian brands too.
Why is Ghana's supermarket stacked with foreign goods? Why not produce their own?
Ghanaians government wants foreigners feels like their homes,so those stuffs is not for only Ghanaians....
Hi laudia Watson these super markets are mostly for foreigners . We do have local markets and shops in abundance where you find local produce
@Rashaenka Nope all these supermarkets have locally made products. Also not all of our markets are "open air" it all depends on where u shop.
we do produce our own . if go us they are a lot of imported food too fool
Native born Ghanaian's probably don't eat most of the foods in that supermarket, so they import for those that want it! Dude was eating coconut out of a sandwich bag, or whatever it was, no fancy wrapping, not rice cakes, potato chips or cookies, and he was good with that!
This was epic.. Please do a Supermarket part two. Where do you shop?
Greetings sister. Always good information on your content, that's what also inspired me to start my own RUclips channel.
Keep up the good work🙏🏾
The cost of food is similar to the UK supermarket.

Roughly about the same prices in the US, but without all of the chemical/preservatives.

Can you please do a day in your life or a week in your life in Ghana?
Em Tee when I’m next there sure. For now I can try and get someone else to do a day in their life. X
You can get most of the UK supermarket items at Ernest Chemist and they are a lot cheaper. Also, Shoprite is cheaper than MartMax.
Ok I need to check out Ghana like yesterday! 🇺🇸 🇬🇭 Speaking it into existence
The local bread was cheap/reasonable. Other groceries were more expensive than the USA
Do you realize that the average wages there are about 20x lower than in America. So you need to multiply each product x20 and then you’ll get how expensive everything is for the locals.

Exactly like a Brazilian or American store. Awesome 👏 and a combination of going to the street market for different products!

SOOO PROUD TO SEE THAT.VERY VERY MIND BLOWING.WHAT IF WE WANT TO ODER ITEMS? CAN TJE OWNER PUT A WEBSITE ONLINE SO WE CAN ORDER CERTAIN ITEMS?

Believe it was per pound/kilo. You weigh your vegetables after you select them and the price is calculated per the rate.

No flour or corn tortillas? I didn't see bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or even red raspberries, in this video. Or even GOYA products.
