- I made a historical video on Russian prices on February 23, 2022. A few hours before...
And I also promised to give you an update about the prices in Russian stores.
So it's 6 and a half months of sanctions today, and I'm doing an update.
Also I have seen a few articles on the Western media that prices in Russian stores went down compared to prices in Europe.
Let's check this out!

Niki Proshin just uploaded a similar video as well. You can really see the difference between a man and a woman, in how they shop for groceries. Ksenia has a better eye for deals and isn't easily swayed by fancy, colorful packaging as Niki is 😁
Zani Zone I watched Niki’s video too, I don’t think he did too bad though. He did pass up things that were too high although he picked a box of food that was pretty over another one. All in all he passed on cheese because it was too expensive and meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. I thought he was going to go somewhere else next week.
Has he been shopping since he went shopping with Konstantin and Zangieff?
I think yesterday I just watched Roman show somebody else's apartment in Tbilisi. At least the apartments I don't have to try and figure out how much a kilogram is. And besides that, I used to know how much everything cost but lately I haven't. And we're having inflation but it's probably not as bad. I think most of the people I know are having inflation but that's just mostly US and UK. I used to be a really good grocery shopper. Of course it would take me five different grocery stores in one night, but my husband had a car and gas was oddly cheap in the late '80s/early '90s. If you have ever seen the movie the perfect storm, we didn't know that was happening. We were like half an hour south of there. Of Gloucester I mean. And it was raining really bad! But we didn't know it was a terrible storm. We just thought it was raining really bad. And we went to five grocery stores that night. Which is obviously a whole lot easier to do if you have a car. I wouldn't want to try it on the tram and the bus and dragging things home in a bag Or one of those old-fashioned wheeled carts we used to have. My mother had one when I was a kid And I think she gave it to me. She used drag it up the hill to our house. It was probably only like 5 minutes walk to the grocery store, where we grew up. We really did grow up in a good place for people who only had one car which spent the entire day with my father in Boston. And besides that my mother didn't drive..
And I haven't watched this yet but I will.
I had heard that agriculture was going well and I keep thinking, yes it will keep going well until they need spare parts for the tractors. And then maybe not so much. I seem to remember that from the '80s. I must have heard it on TV or something
I love both of these youtubers
Yes, I noticed that when he bought the salt!
Hahah Zani I love how we both watch this and Niki's channel.
Thank you dear Ksenia finally a women who understands grocery prices! You dear are one of the most intelligent people! I remember your grocery shopping before this all started, you are right it is a historical video, more should watch it. Keep honest, but safely ❤❤
Some sections of that store are being dismantled. It looks like they are reorganizing their sections. I really hope the store isn't going to close soon.
I hope they aren't closing as well! I would say they are probably changing the setup to get ready for the fall and Halloween displays?
Dear Ksenia -- you are a delight! And so informative. (and your English is excellent!!) I am a kindred spirit in terms of your love for all things "dairy" and even your enjoyment of chicken thighs and pollock (which I love in summer salads; or cold pasta on hot days). Here in Canada (I live in Vancouver on the Pacific coast) we are experiencing inflation due to (a) Covid realities that have created unreliable supply-chains for food items & products, and (b) the geo-political fall out of the 'troubles' in eastern Europe. In the past year, our cost of living has risen 30% and yet our wages do not keep pace with that statistic. And for those of us with cars that need fuel--well, our city is often the highest fuel prices in all of North America (recently 2.59 CAD per litre = 120 RU) - our family immigrated here from Scotland and when I visit my relatives there I NEVER COMPLAIN about fuel costs, as the UK has terribly high costs--though their salaries are better than Canada. All to say, I'm just fascinated by your presentations and your sharing of your life and times in St Petersburg, and your family in Belarus (my family doctor is originally from Belarus). Keep up the wonderful spirit and positivity in what are clearly VERY difficult times for so many families in Russia and in the neighbouring regions. We in Canada pray with much hope and longing for peace and prosperity to the Russian people...as we do for all citizens of good faith. Be well.
I think we are all in the same boat because the prices in the U.K. has gone so high lately it feels like we have been sanctioned as well & don’t get me started on the gas & electric & diesel it’s a joke how much all that’s gone up to , thank you for sharing this with us 💜💚💙
We have been sanctioned it’s on purpose they did that, but they’re smart they say it’s for our « good and well-being» and repeat it a million that you believe it, if you notice we’ve been insanely sanctioned since 2020 the most they could get away with, they re not stopping anytime soon
US in going the same way. On our local news they were even talking about an increase in customers water bills possibly coming within the next month or so. But have to say Ive been noticing an uptick in store pricing since around 2017, of course its up even more now & of course more noticable on the bank acct with gas & everything else having gone up too. In my 40s so think all Ive ever done is watch prices on everything go up, remember when I was in high school a good 25? Yrs ago & gas was .99 cents a gallon & at least 3 times that now, but someone a good 10yrs older than me would remember buying it at .79 a gallon. The older you are the less expensive you remember everything "used to be"🤷♀️
@@kristiskinner8542 same here I’m 41 & remember the same price’s even cigarettes I remember them being 97p & I went to get my mom some last week & they were £11.97 I nearly died, I actually said oh no I only want cigarettes nothing else & he laughed & said yes that’s just for the cigarettes I said omg 😆 I was in shock & said to mom I think you should stop haha that didn’t go down well 🤣🤣
@@mj3026 I am amazed at anyone who can afford to smoke and pay their elec and gas bills these days.
Hey Xenia..so happy to see you today😄My groceries have gone up for sure..I think around the world they are up..I really Injoy seeing your stores..I like the way things are packed at your store..Hope You and family are doing well..Many Blessings 👩🦳🥰🌺🏵️
Lovely video as always, thanks for sharing. x
Great video. I always enjoy when you share price check videos and the foods and things you buy. Very interesting.
Great video, I so appreciate and enjoy your opinion , Thank you
Thank you for the information. Your videos are always interesting.
Thanks for the video, best wishes 👍
Great video Ksenia! It is good to see your expert analysis.
Thank you for another video. I enjoy your informative perspective. Looking forward to future videos. Stay safe and healthy.
Great video, thank you. Good health and success!
Dear Ksenia, Enjoyed the video as always, the prices didn't seem too bad on the seasonal produce. It's nice you can get your favorite Belarusian dairy products too. Prices have gone up all over the world post covid and on top of that Russia is being sanctioned too. I'm surprised prices haven't gone higher there actually and let's hope they don't We all need them to come down and get back to normal, Here in the states our stores have been reporting record profits since the start of covid and it seems the prices keep going up, lets hope they start going in the other direction soon. I watch a lot of Russian shopping videos and they all appear to show a bad trend, the store shelves seem to be full but the shoppers carts seem to be pretty empty. People are being very careful with their money, and selective in their buying. We need to start seeing full carts again, hopefully 2023 will be better for everybody. As always, love and the very best to you and the family, always thinking of you and praying for mama. Steve from Ohio.
Unfortunately, prices in Russia never go back. So I don't think they will decrease this time.
@@StPetersburgme We had high prices in 2008 also and they came down here. I remember milk at almost $5.00 a gallon.( 3.785 liters) and bread at about $4.00 a loaf. It wasn't a pandemic then, it was a housing crisis so bad that wall street needed a bailout and 2 of our 3 auto manufactures needed bailed out too. Fuel was high then too and it came back down. If prices came down here, I don't know why they can't come back down there too. 😊
@@StPetersburgme They will decrease eventually, especially that a huge number of currencies went down compared to the US dollar (the currency used to pay for commodities & goods), but the Russian Ruble appreciated lot since its fall. Coming back to normal for these countries will be with a lot of pain , because central banks will increase interest rates and tighten their economy during an already existing economic slowdown , making a recession very close or inevitable. Also in the long term prices are increasing in the major countries because in each cycle they devalue their currencies during each crisis.
Always appreciate your nice videos )
@@StevefromOhio1972 Russian shoppers' carts seem to be half-empty, because Russian shoppers traditionally do not make purchases in advance for a week or two... The Russian buyer prefers frequent supermarket trips, daily, because supermarkets are located 5-10 minutes from the apartment building. in Russia there is a very large supermarket chain within walking distance. and these are competing supermarket chains, so in Russia there may be several supermarkets representing competing retail chains in the area of your home within a 5-10-minute walk. Therefore, Russian buyers do not use large carts. because many Russian buyers do not use a car to buy groceries, but walk to the nearest supermarket. Therefore, they do not take a lot of product, so that there would be no heaviness returning home.
I have a FEW grocery store price videos on my channel too and I try to do updates with a new video once a month, but mostly I use to own a thrift store and so I have been going through TON's of boxes of stuff like of stuff in a back of a semi truck we use that is 45ft long and we use it as storage but I haven't even opened a lot of those boxes so I have been sharing going through those with my viewers. and the other day I did one of a treasure chest I put stuff in years ago that is all vintage. but I LOVE to see your videos and it seems to ME like they are doing to you what they are doing to us in the USA too. Prices of foods going CRAZY!! but if I am able to do those videos once a month or so it helps ME to see the increase on it all too. another good video from you thanks :)
by the way I am in Alamogordo NM USA but I do my videos from Alamogordo AND from El Paso Texas USA on the foods so if you want to see the foods here go check it out.
Great video. The price increases seems to be hitting the whole globe. In UK a typical weekly shop of around £160 is now costing £200....As you say its insane.
@@donalkinsella4380 it's got little to do with brexit. Food prices are up across Europe, In the US, Australia, Canada etc. Same with energy prices. The biggest driving factor to that is the high recorded increase in the money supply in the respective territories during and since covid. Other factors like Ukraine and brexit are impacting thing to a very small degree but the pattern across western countries cannot be denied.
Prices here in USA are about 60% higher than about 6 months ago. Thanks for video.
Some advice some goods are seasonal and therefore have different prices depending if it is summer or winter so this makes tomatoes more expensive in the winter..
Thank you so much for the real story. Be safe and be well!!
This video came up randomly, glad it did. I just subscribed. Well informed video on Russian prices. New Zealand is trying to lower food prices and have increased living wage to $23.65. Bare minimum.
thank you the video is very informative. Keep it up
I don’t know what the weather is in the farming areas in Russia but here in the USA the extreme heat and lack of rain has affected the crops. Crop yields are way down which will cause shortages and high prices.
We have be warned for decades that the climate would change and we are now seeing the effects. It isn’t going to get better so long as humans continue to do the same harmful stuff.
And here in Australia we’ve had floods all down the East coast affecting our produce.
Great price comparison video my friend 😁. I shopped the other day, same list as previous week....$18 more for exactly same items..... Just frustrating 😩
Hey Ksenia! 20K+ subs woohoo! All the best to you and your family.
Thank you!
Not eating or not eating much, is not a bad idea. It helps the body heal.
People like you on internet will someday help us all understand we live the same and do not need kings and politics to live by. I hope that day comes soon. No more blood
Thank you an informative video. Posting price increases as % instead as Before and After keeps me from having to drag out the Old Calculator🙂. Chicken prices in California have increased about 20% due to Bird Flu requiring destruction of millions of birds. Egg and Turkey prices up as well. Glad you are now able to find your favorite dairy products. Fish costs a lot here even though the coast is nearby. salmon is not as bad since it is farm raised. Watching the bears getting it Fresh from the streams is amazing to watch. Produce is always reasonable since we have the "Breadbasket" Imperial Valley close by. Seasonal products are Great! Washington State apple are due and I have gotten one that weighted over 1 lb. last time I was up there. I always wanted to visit your Beautiful City but now am too Old.
Hello Ksenia, I'm taking a break from watching College Football. Great vlog. Now, I have to run to the store too. 😂
Location: USA. We went yesterday and found a dozen brown eggs for $7.00. Almost fainted. We, too, are being told there's no inflation but food prices are up 50 percent. My husband likes those crab sticks too.
@SoLBH 🤣
I like your shopping choices.. it makes me hungry 😀👍
Thank you for your unbiased report.
Very informative video Ksenia. Learned a lot from it. Food prices are rising here in the USA as well.
I never saw cottage cheese in bags before!
Prices were rising in the US before the conflict and just keep rising. Pray this ends soon and hope they don’t keep these inflated prices.
Unfortunately there's no reason why the prices won't stay high. We've collectively printed so much money, it's inflation101. With a debt riddled society they will choose inflation over deflation every time.
I just paid the equivalent of about 400 rubles for a dozen eggs. 😳 I wonder if food prices will ever come back to where they were.
Prices are going up every where 😒
Great video
Great video. Prices here have risen alot as well. One example eggs were $1 for dozen(12) now $3.
I had a lower paying retail job. Big box lumber/ garden center ...I used to use 10-20% of my income for food. I ate very well due to having a garden in summer and I had been a chef years ago and I can stretch a dollar..
Milk on a shelf at room temperature always creeps me out a little.
Yes I have never seen that in my grocery stores. It’s very scary to me!
@@linda9918 It's safe to drink, it's just not pasteurized like here in the US. Shorter shelf life. Just being out on a shelf really shocked me the first time I saw it in England.
@@Steve.Cutler actually, the milk and other dairy products Ksenia showed were not on standard shelves. These are doorless refrigerator shelves, definitely not room temperature; if you put your hand in there, you'd feel the difference))). Only UTH milk is stored at room temperature.
@@gvsku I stand by what I said
Thank you very much Ksenia for this informative video about prices in Russia. Frankly I must say that also in our grocery shops prices are increasing more and more ( 15, 20 or even 50 percent). Inflation due to the high costs of energy are negatively affecting our industrial system as they pay enormous costs of energy, so that they are compelled to raise up the basic cost of their products and families are the most affected by this. Terrible situation and this is affecting the whole European continent and not only. Luckily there is a vast choice of products and grocery shops with different prices, but the problem still remains. Hoping that everything will turn for the best I wish you a nice weekend.
U.S. as well, and the same market dynamics Gabriella...
Hi Ksenia, Prices have increased by 30% to as much as 50 % here. Some packages contain less.❤😎
Shrinkflation. And they think we won’t notice.
good video !
Tough times xenia. Democracy and freedom are very very important.
When you are free to say whatever you want and participate on the organizations you want... then that means democracy. Autocracies are states behaving as criminal states... that is another issue.
Autocracies, attrocities, terror, occupation, opression and comunist-fascist policies.... run away please... now. OMG
Freedom and democracy can always be improved.
Criminal states and autocracies pretend to pass the idea that freedom is nothing but theory.
Poor people in russia and in other despotic states.
Sniff
Prices rose sharply in March by 20 to 40 percent, compared to them now prices have actually decreased.
Good video. Just a hint, you might want to take a closer look at package size between comparisons...They like to cheat us like that :D
Prices goes up in east and west. They have to stop this stupid war.
Russia can end this war anytime it choses, it just has to leave Ukraine.
@@nozhki-busha Please call Putin and tell him your idea.
@@borjavalero8511 I dont need to call him, he already knows this fact very well.
@@nozhki-busha Not a problem, Russia will leave Ukraine when Ukraine will stop bombing Donetsk and Lugansk people with the help and approve of Nato.
I notice that many Russian villagers grow their own gardens, with fruits and vegetables, raise goats, chickens, pigs, cows, rabbits. I think this is a good way to live.
Inflation is raising prices on everything in Canada. We are told it's because of supply and transport shortages due to the Covid epidemic. What they aren't telling us is the effect that carbon taxes are having on prices.
Yup. It's all a scam.
Im not good at price comparison and remembering prices. Overall in St Louis, Missouri prices are much higher. I always enjoy your videos and glad to see you are well. Spasibo! Paka. 😘
Ksenia,
forgive my ignorance, but why would prices go up on various products either from Russia or Belerus, when you're getting them either locally, or from a direct ally?
The truth is the situation is hugely increasing food prices all over the world. Prices in Moscow, London or Paris have all risen dramatically. There will be serious hunger problems in Africa, India, the Middle East, everywhere, unless the situation comes to an end.
The weather is also taking a huge toll. The U.S. is experiencing floods, droughts, extreme heat, and forest fires simultaneously. I got very little from my garden this year because it was just too hot. And I'm afraid next year will be worse.
Sri Lankan people are starving from a climate experiments on their people 2 years ago
There is a certain rise for food in western countries, but come on, it’s not dramatically increasing. Less then 10%, as an average. This is nothing or quite, also historically speaking. Plus, western families are not big with so many kids to feed. Huge difference to other continents.
Paul Dove
The motherland is worth every increase of prices, you not so much pride is considered a bad thing in western countries, money more important to westerns
Crab Sticks are gross, but I can't stop eating them :)
glad u r able to get what you want without too much trouble. In many countries, there is little choice and in others,hardly none. In our larger,successful countries, we have become accustomed to a wealth of products. We ought to be grateful.
I can’t believe how small your milk containers are. In America, people usually buy milk in gallons, several gallons at a time.🇺🇸❤️
At least for young families with multiple children. A gallon can be cheaper than a half-gallon here...
Same thing here, dear. They rave about how fuel prices have gone down 25-35 cents a gallon but forget they were half that less than two years ago..sigh...
Ksenia, would love to see a cooking video. What do you eat in a day. Thanks
Great English lady. Greetings from Scotland.❤
Hi Senyia. My groceries have tripled in price. Instead of only going I maybe $.25-&.50 cents good has gone up on meat and dairy by at least 75%. Beef is $6.00-$16.00 a pound. I live in Florida (Daytona Beach). If i go to the docks I can get fish kinda cheap. I do enjoy your channel🥰
I always smile at these videos and do the conversion from rubles to AUD and think. I wish prices were that cheap in Australia. However, I also like my wage and am horrified at the low wages in other countries.
It's a perfect storm in Britain right now. With inflation already at 9.8% prices are very much higher than a year ago, but wages are not keeping pace. Our prices for petrol, diesel, electricity and heating oil are exorbitant.
@@SuperLittleTyke wages not keeping up in Australia but it is an employee market right now. Today I was out a couple of hours and saw 5 signs asking for staff and 2 shops closing due to lack of staff
Another great video. I think things are rough for most people right now, in almost every country. I hope things get better for all of us soon, because I plan to visit Russia next year. Have a great weekend!! Keep up the good work.
Things will only get better when Ru gets the hell out of Ukr.
@@pauldove966 Maybe you're right. All I know is it seems like a complete waste of lives and resources. I feel bad for all people who are in warring countries. Earth would be a great place if we all showed kindness to one another. I love hearing about what life is like outside of my little town, in my little corner of the world. I have much to learn, and maybe some to teach as well. Some day, maybe more people will look across at their neighbor and see this, instead of seeing money, or exploitable resources.
Hello
In Montreal Canada
Many prices have also gone up.
Beef 15-20%
Yoghurt 15-20%
Potatoes 20%
Steve Bene Prices have have gone up more for meat as well as fruits and vegetables.
It appears that inflation is happening everywhere globally. From gasoline, to eating out, to groceries, etc. I can remember when I was little that a Snickers candy bar was 0.15 cents! Now, it’s anywhere from $1.25 to $1.69! That’s crazy to me.
You are so lucky. You will be able to stay warm this winter and people in the EU who have nothing to do with their governments politics will freeze this winter.
You are talking nonsense about the European Union. Try to be a little more constructive like in this video. You inspire pity!
Another BOT 🤖 run along you have no common sense.
Thanks for video, does seem prices have increased, but inflation is causing prices to rise all over the world, logistics, pandemic remnants, or petrol costs perhaps. Many here in the U.S. get cost of living increases, or hopefully salary increases to keep things close to same. TY
The prices of everything have gone up worldwide. Covid, labor shortages, supply chain issues, supply and demand have caused inflation. I live in California, USA... Our prices are higher than Russia. Maybe fat people will lose some weight.
God bless
I live in England and prices of everything went up so much as well. I wonder if you are able to buy items like milk, eggs, meat or veg locally from farmers ? Would it be cheaper?
It is not cheaper 100% (but much tasty)).
As a person passed through hunger year of 1998 when I cooked 3L of soup for my family using peas, potats and 1 sousage - the current situation is incomparably better ))
Buying products from farms I find is expensive. Go into a farm shop and you are paying so much more than in Lidl, TESCO or other supermarkets. Even buying honey from local sellers I find expensive. It is however much tastier for sure.
@@susanlindadalton1287 I agree. I would love to support local produce but can't afford their prices. I was wondering that maybe in different countries buying directly from a farmer may be cheaper ...
@@eesihlee Yes it would be nice, I do try to buy more local in the supermarkets ie stuff from UK rather than India or Greece or whatever in fact on Thursday there was actually broccoli from Lincolnshire (county I am living in at the mo) so I bought it. When we have harvest festival in the church the farmers donate potatoes so I always buy some but I do wish I could buy more.
Hi, are there no problems if you make videos in the shop?
Hi Knesia Here in the US our food prices have also gone up really high. People who can, are raising tomatoes ,cucumbers, carrots and other vegetables in their gardens to can for the winter. Our meats are also very high in price. I guess this is what is happening all over the world Thank you for sharing your experience
Those people who plant vegetables in their gardens do exactly the same as we do in Russia and Belarus.
My boyfriend buys meat at Aldi when it's on sale - he got 1.5 lbs of skinless boneless chicken thighs for $4. I highly suggest you check out aldi if you have one!
Same here in England. Prices are already through the roof. I grew tomatoes this year, and next year I'm going to try cucumbers and potatoes as well. Inflation here currently is 9.8%.
@@bendietrees I now do 80% of my grocery shopping at Aldi or Lidl. I'm in England.
I love your shopping experiences, I've never seen buckwheat for sale here in NZ. Your prices are much lower than our NZ prices but there again our prices are more expensive than Australia or nearest neighbour.
@@sandi8596 I have never seen buckwheat in any of our grocery stores. I have looked, I can order off Amazon. I have never tasted it, or even what it is. 😊
It depends where you buy food.
KISS 💋 FROM SIBERIA
KSENIA THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ON RUSSIAN PRICES ! HAVE A NICE WEEK😀
I feel as if it was a global issue even before the events of 2/24/22... I went shopping at the local Save a Lot the other day and was shocked at how much the prices had increased. In some cases it was a 50-60% increase!! It's sad and scary to think of how people make ends meet. Especially, those who struggled before prices increased!! Something else that irritates me about the whole thing is so many Americans blame it on one person, Biden. They blame this one guy without thinking or even acknowledging the fact that this is a global issue due to the effects of a world wide pandemic. However, I shouldn't be surprised as many Americans don't seem to think outside of their bubble.
Yep it's a global problem not just an American one.
I live in Canada 🍁 and we don’t have Biden and our prices are have risen a lot.
Meat and fruit ,vegetables are extremely high. South east Asia are still ok. Watched some vlogger’s and there seems to be no drastic price hikes in there food.
A warm hello Yksenia. Apologies if I have spelled your name wrong. Thanks for making this video. I have a special request for content I would like to see. Could you do more cooking videos where you make the simple normal food you cook for yourself on a regular basis? I am being impacted by higher grocery prices in the US and I would love to get some new meal ideas. I am studying at an intensive program and need frugal simple recipes to make at home while funds are low, until I graduate and during my job search. If there is a way to tip you I would be happy to contribute as well with a donation to thank you. I don't want anything fancy or different than what you normally make when cooking for yourself. I enjoy simple Russian home cooking and want to learn to make these meals for myself and my family. Much thanks!!! If you could also share about what supplements you take for health and wellness, I am really interested in learning about that. Your long time fan from Washington State, USA ~~Rasha
Not sure why the Russian blogers, are showing all the time grocery shops (trying for few months to say: look they are full), but not showing other aspects of life? What about western medicines? What happens when you go to the dentist, have you acces to modern anesthesia, materials etc? What if your Western home appliances crash, do you have any service for them? Can you replace them ? Same with cars? What if your German car needs service? What about Western movies, series that all the world is talking about? Concerts of foreign artists? Any international sport events organised ? What about exchange of students, scientists? Etc etc etc. I am very happy there is milk and egss there, however would be interested in finding more how the life besides shopping and eating looks.
Medicine is not sanctioned for Russia, but prices have still increased. You will hear about cars when they start needing parts, too early yet. Russia has been banned from all international sport events. I’m sure they still have concerts but only Russian. No western movies. Where have you been hiding in the basement, these are old questions.
@@linda9918 these are not questions (or rather they were retoric ones), this is my remark to youtube bloggers from Russia, that they are showing just shopping in grocery shops, and prices of milk and eggs. Life doesnt consist just from going to shops and eating, I would like to see more broad spectrum of it, in Russia 2022.
@@gabidobre5584 what Crazy things you say 🤪🤨
Prices in Australia have gone up about the same or more I would say....
My mom over there told me 1 head of cauliflower was $9
I live in the Leningrad region, some prices have fallen, some have become more expensive. All is well inflation has not been canceled
Fish in the USA is also expensive
Ksenia! You have to study English, but I, an Indian, learnt english speaking, as a professor of Chemistry. I'm a village lad, educated in a village centered urban area . Then joined a hi- fi College as a professor. I have leant english while communicating with the students.
I never worry about best before or sell by dates.
Here in the US... since the start of the Ukraine war, prices have moved 20% to 80%. I'm sure much of the world is experiencing the same.
No sorry, not at all. Prices in Switzerland are pretty much invariated, also in Italy it did increase by far less than 10%. If we are talking food, tech, cars and normal stuff. Of course, energy sector plays bu different rules
I wish you and your family lived in the US. There are so many opportunities for you here. Your so hard working and with a good head on your shoulders. You would go far. I’m hoping everything goes well for you. Oh!! You would be a great Teacher You should look into teaching online courses 👍🏻❤️
So, I got distracted.
You mentioned your previous videos which apparently I had not seen. I saw the one where your mother came to visit with your niece and you went to a water park or something. Maybe you didn't show that part but you mentioned it.
I saw the one where you lost your job. Apparently that was offered to me by RUclips because of their algorithms. I am guessing that is why.
And I saw the one where you interviewed your mother about USSR, because interviewing of mothers is interesting and hearing about the way things used to be is interesting. And it was surprising that she's like 1-year-older than me.
And I saw one other one where you were grocery shopping. I don't know when that was. (And a few others, after the first two)
But today, You mentioned an old one which made me go and search. And I found February 27th. It Really reminded me of Victoria's video which, I'm not sure exactly when. It was maybe the beginning of March. It might have been the end of February. She was still in Russia at the time. And it was titled something like "I really wanted to say this" or something similar.
It's strange - but it isn't. Because it's people really wanting to say things that they can't say. And really feeling strongly, things that they can't talk about. Under the circumstances it's not that strange but the similarity struck me. I watched hers a long time ago. So I don't remember a lot but... I hope you don't mind me mentioning it.
The people who thought that you should do more, I think they're not old enough to understand. Or they live in that country where people are dying and they think everyone should risk their life?
I spend enough of my life worrying that I wouldn't be brave enough to die for God, much less my country, much less somebody else's country. They are just different levels of feeling guilty about... Actually it's not death, it's torture. Like go ahead and kill me but do it fast. I'm more afraid of pain.
So, that escalated quickly.
Some people are brave. I'm not one of them.
If you want to delete this, hopefully that's a thing that RUclips will let you do. Go ahead.
I was going to watch you do groceries. But, strangely, it's more because I like you and apparently I'm not into watching anyone do groceries lately. I would like to watch myself do some groceries but, even though I look at everything and everyone is out running around and getting in large crowds, I'm still avoiding people with potential diseases. I have managed to end up on a ventilator twice before I turned 25, without severely contagious and deadly diseases floating around.
I wonder how the rest of your multinational family is doing. You probably know which part I mean. I don't even remember who they were. Uncles aunts cousins? I don't know.
The world is too full of hatred caused by greed. This is also true in the US. It's just that so far most of us have not been thrown in jail for things we say. I know that that could change. It just depends on who is in charge. I think we got pretty close last time. And I think it might happen eventually. I believed that since I was 19 at least. Because my church told me so. But now I see things happening. And I don't know if it's coming sooner.
Maybe I should go watch some cat videos. Or that guy in Scotland who has a pet seagull named Steven. The seagull flies into his window and he feeds him. Mostly fish. I couldn't afford to do that. Also my ducks are really picky. And none of them have ever had fish. My roommate really hates fish. The smell makes him sick. And I only like tuna. And not very often. And I can live without it. So basically we don't have any fish.
But I need to stop thinking about the future. And maybe think about the time beyond that, when there will be peace. That's going to require some divine intervention.
Right now I need something to drink. And we're back to groceries. :-)
I'm not insane. I'm also not confused about why the world is the way that it is. I guess that's comforting in a way. But it's still scary.
And I really am thirsty.
How long does that grocery shop last you? How many people are you feeding? It doesn't look like very much food. Do you have to "stretch the food out" with semi-rationing at home and with lots of bulk soups etc? Thanks
Good to see that sanctions are hitting. Most of the price increases for RU/Belarussian products will be transport related. But wait, RU is an oil and gas exporter, so what's going on? Could it be that someone, somewhere in Moscow is profiting from the crisis...? It would be interesting to see what the prices are out in the sticks.
Prices have gone up around the world mate. Just a bag of cat food unusually buy has gone up over $10.
Considering these are war time prices, they are not bad at all. It's actually doing better than the 50% hikes in the US.
It is unfortunate that prices have gone up in Russia. They have gone up in Canada also. Our gas ( for cars) has gone from around $1.39 a liter to anywhere from $1.79 a liter to $2.08
Unfortunate?? Do you know why sanctions have been put on Russia for? Strange comment
Prices in America have increased similarly or more. Good to know.
The prices are increasing all over the world and this have nothing to do with the war
Nothing new. Idk what are they telling you in Russia but the sanctions are not aimed to the russian population. here Is a part of the official statement from the european council about sanctions
"The list of banned products is designed to maximise the negative impact of the sanctions for the Russian economy while limiting the consequences for EU businesses and citizens. The export and import restrictions exclude products primarily intended for consumption and products related to health, pharma, food and agriculture, in order not to harm the Russian population."
I've not watched your videos before. This video was very interesting, though, and you seem to have a real calm about you! I'm from England and one thing the war has done is awaken my interest in Russia. Before 24 February Russia was just another far away country, but there is so much interest now worldwide in Russian life, both positive and negative. I watch several Russian vloggers' videos. All the talk of prices coming down is purely propaganda to make the Russian people believe that the sanctions are having little effect. Sure, carrots, cucumbers and other fresh produce will get cheaper at harvest time. This year I grew tomatoes, so for me tomatoes are free! (Apart from the cost of compost, seeds, and plant food.) Where did you learn such good English? Many Russians, it seems, speak some English, but it must be a difficult language to learn to speak well for Russians, because they grew up with the sound of Russian absolutely everywhere, even foreign movies being dubbed. Also, the Russian language has no concept of articles like "a" and "the", but these articles are essential in English, German, French and many other languages. Anyway, I shall look out for further videos from you.
Food prices in the U.S. is going up everyday! The shelves in Russia are well stocked! Good luck to you!
Love from India ❤️❤️
Hang On... I hope.Prices ☝ Everything.
Iam paying over 40% more t for food a year ago...tell me? That Milkin that store were they in a cold bin?
Drink water 💦.... Make Ice Cubes ❄... That's low carb and cheap..
Its called inflation, i think it has more to do with Covid rather than sanctions.
Exactly
Grocery prices here in the USA are high too. It’s terrible. Why do you prefer milk from Belarus?
Because it's real milk.
