- Last time I went grocery shopping I didn't film it because I thought it would be boring. From the comments though, it looks like some of you wanted to see inside a typical supermarket. So join my as we do our errands in Piano di Sorrento. Animal feed, bills to pay and a grocery shop in a typical small Italian supermarket with a great deli counter.

Thanks for watching the video Grocery Shopping in Italy
This is literally EXACTLY what I hoped to find here. Mundane, daily life in another part of the world. As if I lived there. Not the IG version. The real version. Thank you. 👏👏👏😃
Even just the mundane life, it looks amazing, Positano must be really beautiful, I would like to go there someday
Agree whole heartedly.
This is how I became addicted to their wonderful stories, family, friends to neighbors and trips. I hate the perfect, fake shows of the same old thing!! I live in Tennessee as in the U.S. Great to be apart of a beautiful life so far away!!
@@ksexton7777 I live in Lexington Ky. What made me love her videos is the no posing, look at me, look at me...I can't stand that. She makes you feel like you are in the room with her. A friend, invited out for the day.
Agreed...
A man in a pink raincoat is truly secure in his manhood.
Tell that to the gay men who wear all kind of color ! 😂
Before the 1940's, the color pink was used for boys and blue for girls. He's just claiming back his color.
Imagine if you don't gender stupid things like colors, that the world is a lot easier
@@peko7446 true! Still common in Belgium and France :)
A colour is just a colour. Not dependent on what type of genitals you have.
FINALLY - a video that shows normal day-to-day life!! No glamorous transitions or over-bearing soundtrack. Its perfect. And I love that I can hear the birds chirping, the gate closing, and the dog's pitter patter running down the steps.
Just how I like it,day today life it's different and brilliant.😁
Why did this was recommended? Now i have to forget all of my dreams in life and think of how to live in Italy..
Android you can have Italy I have no desire for it I don't like it at all
@@helenboula3538 wherever you live then, hope you have a good health and happy life.
@@helenboula3538 I am sure no one in Italy wants you either. You mean spirited person.
🤣😂🤣😂😅
I love it! Now I can see what is like to leave in this place that I visited over a year ago.
I absolutely loved going shopping with you. I currently live in a long term care residence in Hamilton Ontario Canada. I use a wheelchair so getting around is a bit limited. In my younger years, my husband and I had a bulk food store right when it first became popular. Now my son and his father have a cheese shop in a small town just outside of Hamilton- very unique and specializing in imported cheese. I loved shopping in small shops especially just like the one you were in. I get carried away listening to you and almost feeling like I am walking with you - in a part of the world I never got to see. Thank you for taking me along.
Whats the name of the shop 🤔 I live in Pickering and visit all the time
Hi Ann! My family lives in Hamilton, what’s the shops name? I’d like to check it out when I come visit next :)
Yes Ann Marie, my thoughts exactly.😄
🧀
I never get tired of watching anyone grocery shopping, especially in other countries.
Precisely, it is fascinating seeing how other people grocery shop, because food is the universal language. You have the most beautiful view in the world, the weather changes so quickly. It’s weird to see other people wearing masks too, although I must say how we Americans have sure made a mess of things. Stay safe and thanks for showing us around. 👍❤️
I just love to visit grocery stores in other countries. Whenever I travel I always make it a point to visit their local grocery store or supermarket.
Omg i thought i was the only one lol
me too!!
There we go! A new show on the discovery channel!
That’s why Italy has a high rate of centenarians, fresh food and many steps😊
And the vegetables there and in Greece look so comely. We have a Little Italy in my state and the veggies are always fresh.
Nice picture
@Mikey moo that’s a personal choice, not a cultural thing.
I am from Romania and I can tell you that we love, we respect and we also attend to our elders needs, till the end.
And so do many other nations:)
@Mikey moo I'm sorry but you could look after them all you like if they were to consume the average american diet all their lives and struggled with obesity and complications of diabetes in old age. That is not what's making the difference. I come accross similar comments often but it's such a lazy and ignorant generalization.
lolll when he lifted his arms up for a hug and said "amore!" SO CUTE!! lovely video!!
Aaaw I felt the same! Bless him.
So glad I wasn't the only one to single that out; that was beautiful.
I love seeing how people live in other countries....and what a beautiful place you call home ♥️
I am crying with joy and sorrow, for you and me too! Isn't it Divine that we can find our happiness, and dissatisfaction, in our blessed lives? Beauty lies in the passion. God and Goddess bless and keep you!
I'm from the Caribbean and I love seeing how other people around the world live. And this video was everything. Dont think for one second that it was boring. I enjoyed it so much. It's been in my recommendation for a while and I finally clicked on it. Which was a great decision :)
Same same! Where from?!! I used to live in St. Vincent! This just came up on my recs as a subscriber of Fleur de Force!
Same here!! I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹
@@TravelShortVidz Practically neighbors :)
@@TravelShortVidz 🇻🇨
Oh man I can’t imagine living I. The Caribbean how lucky! I live I. The USA, Maine of all places! Beautiful in the summer but winger not so much!
Since you are on a downhill, I'd get the neighbors together on the street and install a zip line with attachments for goods. It shouldn't be that expensive and would be WORTH IT!
What a good idea!
Or something that goes along the little retaining wall the dog was walking on. I mean after all those years no one has come up with an idea for this?
@@Macgyrl64 yes I think like a train track system on that little wall with some boxes on then use track/pull system to get them up and down.
@@ayorkshirerosetravels good idea
She had mentioned before that it was not approved by the council.
It wasn’t boring Nicki as it is actually interesting to see how other people live day to day and not always the ‘jazzy’ parts of life! I have supermarket envy!
What a dream to live your life. I'm Italian living in Canada with this lockdown I'm now re-evaluating my life in beautiful Italy, simple, clean, fresh, and very healthy living. I will put this out into the universe. Thank you for sharing this video. I will take the rain, steps and all....
@Bruno cuci canada is bad. They murdered indigenous children. If that ain't bad I don't know what it is.
Don’t comply with the lockdowns. As long as you keep complying, the longer this will last. Stand up and fight my fellow Canadians! 🇺🇸
I drive into my garage, unload, put everything away and I’m exhausted. I can’t even imagine your hike. I’ll remember you on my next shop❤️🇺🇸
@JANET COREY I live in an apartment at the last floor in a 5 floor building with no elevator and we're family of 4. Since then, my grocery shopping became essential and everybody helps in carrying it. On the other side, my rent is really cheap and the stairs really helps you keep in shape. If you go up and down 4 times a day, you consume enough calories to loose 6 lbs a year.
@@daniby9894 growing up in Brooklyn NY I lived on the 5th floor and understand 🌺
Suddenly my apartment in the third floor without elevator is not that bad 🤣
Love that approach👌🏽😉
lol
😁😂
Right!
Same!!!!!!!
I would like to let everyone know also that 500 steps equals about.... 23 stories in a building :) wow!!!!!!
i thought it was about 17..how many steps per flight?
It may be 17. It depends on the height of the ceilings but one web site said about 22 steps
. But that number is give or take. Still 17 stories Nicki is still absolutely impressive haha
Wow
Oh my gosh! I ran down 17 flights of stairs once - I was knackered when I reached the ground floor.
Now that puts a completely different slant on the steps...incredible!
I enjoyed seeing inside of a typical Italian market.
My cousins in Chiaravelle Centrale Provinicia de Catanzaro. Own a small store and so it marvelous to go into stores and shop. I miss Italy, but thank God they are all safe from the coronavirus. Keep making these videos!!!!BRAVO !
I love your yard, you can see the whole ocean! I would never get tried at looking at a view like that. I’ve never left the states so watching foreign peoples daily tasks like grocery shopping is so fun and interesting. Thanks for the video!
What a beautiful garden, I love that you give eggs out, I love that you car is rarely used, I love that everything is local and friendly. I love the pasta section, I love how you organize it all to go home. It is so beautiful. It does look like such a pain when carrying everything, it’s just such a gorgeous place to live that it seems worth it
I love foreign supermarkets, thanks!
You deserve a trophy carrying all the bags down the steps in the rain and filming at the same time. That’s real multitasking! Xx
maybe a donkey would be more helpful than a trophy!
Totally agree!
@@NickiPositano Here in the US you can purchase a shopping cart with special wheels for steps. It's called a "stair climber."
Me too, it’s so interesting to see what do other people eat around the world 😂 and in Italy there’s so much choice of pastax it’s crazy😅
This, is another reason why Italians live longer....🧡
It's lovely how you have a true English accent, but when you speak Italian your accent disappears and an Italian voice materializes. So envious that you speak so fluently. I'm English living in US but have been to Italy many times - such a beautiful country. If I move countries again it would be to Italy.
TH-cam totally gets me. This popped up in my reccomended list and now I'm hooked!
Just scurried, love Italy! What's there not to love about such a gorgeous country filled with beauty, lovely scenery, art, history, culture, sense of family and self, and not to mentions the food! Che Bella!
To live in a place you can leave your dog unattended while you shop. Paradise!
The dog has the right idea when going down the steps; uses the ledge.
Love her!
This video popped up in my recommendations and I have to say that every second was so intriguing to me. I also agree with your current subscribers that filming your market trips is ideal. 😄 New subscriber, I can't wait to watch more! BTW, you have a lovely personality and amazing presence in front of the camera.
Welcome aboard and thank you!
Me too
i'm new here too.
Ditto on everything!
As a ‘veteran’ Nicki supporter I am so excited for her that so many new subscribers have found her. I was just waiting for a video to go viral and bring her the success she deserves.
I’m now addicted to your videos. Thank you….real Italy …real life. Love it.
I miss Italy so much!! Last time I went was to Lago Di Garda for a weekend before moving back to US. I miss it all so much; I miss Europe!!
When I go on holiday I love going to the supermarkets 😂😂😂I’m I weird ,i really enjoyed this today xx
Nope not weird at all. When I travel my first stop is almost always the grocery (that's why I love Zurich airport!)
It's not wierd at all. I love visiting supermarkets when I travel too! ..I can always try local fresh food there at affordable prices.
It’s not weird, we also do this in every country. Specially when we go to Italy, on the way home our car is backed with all the goodies we buy there.:)
When my daughter traveled she always bought our souvenirs in the supermarket, hand lotion , soap , tea , coffee, I loved it
Good way to figure out local delicacies and special dishes served, most people go to foreign markets.
I love the beauty of your life! Coping with rain and shopping are daunting but you both do it with humor and grace! Thank you for sharing your life in Positano❤️
Positano is really such a beautiful place ❤️ one of my favorite cities ever I went there this summer actually! Btw guys if you’re interested I also have a travel channel with vlogs from London, Italy and Greece if you want to check it out ☺️🙌🏻
I'll never complain about living on the second floor again😳 we only have about 10 steps
I can't believe you have had 1 million+ views for this VLOG. Congratulations. I too am loving watching it.
Hi Nicki everytime i watched your videos you always put a smile in my heart...Italy is really a stunning place i feel am also there when i watched it.
Godbless you and your family.Watching from the Philippines🇵🇭
TH-cam just recommended this and I'm glad they did. I loved the trip to the grocery store. I like to see how people interact with each other in everyday settings. Thank you!
Nicki I love when you go shopping and actually look for that. The every day lives of people in another country is very interesting to me. I really enjoy your videos
I think as well, we all envision ourselves going and renting a little place, but we need to shop and it's very intimidating when your Italian is maybe almost non existent! It's bad enough when I go from Canada to the UK and forget that the eggs are not in the cooler!
Your pup walking on the ledge, with his tail wagging, as you were walking down the stairs 😍
I’m sure I am only imagining the great parts - jesus, that is quite a life you live. So incredibly beautiful, nice partner and (albeit tiny) Italian grocery stores filled with wonderful looking food. Nicely done
“ i have to go and feed the chickens” in that rain they can bloody wait! 😂
Hello
I love seeing grocery stores in other countries. I find it very interesting to see how other people live!
Decades ago I lived with roommates at a fourth floor apartment (no elevator) at the top of a hill that had a 150 steps to access the building. I remember the calculations ... On the plus side, we none of us needed a gym membership! :)
Haha exactly!! And I think you also get used to it! 😅 Btw guys if you’re interested I also have a travel channel with vlogs from London, Italy and Greece if you want to check it out ☺️🙌🏻
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon yep, you sure do get used to it. Even now I live in a walk-up building, several floors up and down every time. No biggie.
@@AnnieNYC1 exactly, Habits are everything! Btw if you’re interested I also have a channel with vlogs from London and other cities where I travel☺️ feel free to check it out😘
When in Italia, grocery shopping is a culinary adventure ❣️. We love every minute of it!! Thank you for sharing a tiny dose of reality on those steps. It helps us who dream of living in Italia that no place is a perfect Paradise just yet😊
So true!
I encountered this reality even as a tourist - stayed in Praiano last year for about a week and we went shopping several times. It always involved trudging up many many flights of stairs, as our rental apartment was at the very top of the town! I loved it there but didn’t always love the workout of going up all those steps.
I loved it too in Italy. The Azores was a real experience. People do their shopping daily. I was so tired of going to market lol
12:05 This is exactly what I've been wondering, like how do old people get up and down the hills or how do you get deliveries of large things, your weekly shopping. What if you have a baby and stroller? Or twin babies? That bit about no one being in sight when your arms are full was funny, I imagined your neighbors peeking through the window, hiding until you pass. And here I've been lamenting living in a 3rd floor walk up.
But those Blue Zones of Happiness, like Sardinia, where people have the best longevity, are often highlands, with old folks having to go up and down a bit of hills each day. Keeps you fit and active. Luckily you have a big strong hunk of a man to carry all that heavy stuff. He made it look like nothing. Carlo seems like just the kind of man I'd like to have. What a wonderful life you two have created. You are both very lucky.
P.S. I love your pink rain jacket. And that cute haircut. Thanks for showing us how you shop!
Holy is so smart. She knows how to avoid stairs. 😁
Nicki you held all of those bags and filmed at the same time! You’re super woman, I’m lounging on the couch feeling pathetic lol! You go girl!
Ha! I was cursing the whole way though!
Clever doggie....he walked along the side of the steps! 🌈
I'd pack groceries into a hiking backpack if I had that many steps to conquer! The fact that you did it while filming is IMPRESSIVE!!
Victoria C I would wear one front and back, just to cut the steps down!
I said the same thing. Hikers backpack
Wow loved that market. One could only dream of such a place around here. Sadly those lovely little stores are a rare find anymore here in good old Calif. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn’t imagine living in such gorgeous scenery. Just wow. 😍
Walking steps is like a free, natural gym. U get used to it and u get pretty strong and fit from it. Now, carrying things is a horse of a different color!’
Imagine forgetting something
Get an "old-lady-trolley" so you can fill it with kgs of stuff and go up and down the stairs easily. But choose a quality one or it goes in pieces. 😸
There is no shame in those, I bought one, and it’s amazing, even to lift up a bunch of steps filled with food. I definitely don’t regret that purchase
I was thinking the same thing! One with the three-wheels, it's really amazing up te stairs
That’s what we did in Miami. No other way when living in a high-rise.
I use mine and we’re only on the second floor! 😂
Yes, I have one too! It is beautiful, with a turquoise bag that holds a ton of vegetables and fruits and things like that. I have steps and it helps so much. I am proud of it and show it off to everyone lol!
TH-cam recommended me this video and i got no complaints... I thoroughly enjoyed watching all these positano content from the garden to beaches and everything in between love it!
I like how the doggie just goes straight down the incline lol! I loved seeing your shopping trip. TH-cam, once again, knows me too well! Also loved seeing the old video footage at the end. I love home movies, even of other people's families. They're always so heartfelt.
That’s it I’m buying a house in Italy 🥰
Where would you buy a house?😍 Btw guys if you’re interested I also have a travel channel with vlogs from London, Italy and Greece if you want to check it out ☺️🙌🏻
Be more cautious. You should not take such decisions in the wink of the eye .
I wish we could have rain like that here in our area in Chile! 🇨🇱 it was very good! I admire your ability to walk down all those steps, loaded up to the ears and still managing to film and talk at the same time! Im sure all us viewers feel like we are part of your everyday life! Take care!
I wish I could send you some!
What a amazing place. The view of the ocean and the homes on the cliffs!
Thank you Niki and Carlos! My wife and I enjoy the real life you live in Positano. There are many travel videos. You are refreshing!
i have just rewatched ‘the boy in the stripped pyjamas’ and was so devastated and couldnt stop my rivers of tears, i had no clue what could help me refocus my attention and then i ran into your cozy video for the first time and now im going to stay on your channel for sure🥰 fell in love with the surroundings you are living in and how you decorated your home the warmest way possible💛
That’s what drew me to your channel- I love to see real life the countries I hope to visit some day
I like to watch, but I know I will NEVER go out of the good ole' USA.
I can't get over the supreme quality of your video camera!! WOW! Absolutely stunning views in every shot!
Hello Tammy
You have a beautiful life, and a gorgeous Italian husband. I have both as well. Lol.
Omg that's impressive, hat's off to you both. No wonder people in the Mediterranean live long
Super loved this video of shopping. Never boring! Every day life I could watch these all day long.
Your supermarket reminds me so much of the shops the Italian migrants opened up in Melbourne and Sydney with those wonderful deli counters. You could only buy olive oil in such shops In the 1960s and 70s. Great video...as always!
YES! I was thinking the same thing!
I’m out of breath after my 17 steps to the second floor! But, that view!!! Ahhhh! Yes please
I found the pink rather fetching.
Australia
Some people are just lucky to live with the views like this.....so beautiful. Beautiful home & surroundings in a beautiful country^^
I’ve been there. The road freaked me out but I’m sure I’d get used to it...beautiful. From New Zealand.
Well that was some rain storm!!!! Always interesting to see shops in different countries. Loved shopping with you. Dear little Holly loved her bone. Looking forward to your next post😊😊
You popped in my recommended and gained a subscriber love to see how others live and I love everything about Italy 🇮🇹 x
I love seeing how other people live. Italy is beautiful and that is such a little nice grocery store. So different then here in the United States by me. That’s a lot of stairs to take everyday but it looks like your dog found an easy way. I love how he was using the side railing to walk on.
Ok.. i just found your channel and this was the first video I watched and it was sooo much fun!!!! Ive been literally glued to my phone for the las 18:27 minutes 🥰 thank you for sharing your life 🙏
When I was a tourist in Italy I always liked the smaller towns and loved going to the supermarket to pick up bits and pieces to eat.
I have NEVER watched a boring video from you, Nicki! Can't wait for Carlo's birthday celebration!
Me either!
What a lovely slice of life! Thank you for taking us with you both!
I do sometimes miss the passion of Italy. You chose wisely.♥️🇮🇹
I love seeing the little supermarkets, it's so interesting. Whenever we're on holiday abroad it's something we really enjoy doing. 😘
Birds chirping at 4:00 sounds like heaven
Wasn’t boring at all. Thought it was so interesting. Love how you both have a sense of humor don’t in the shopping, carrying it down all those steps not the mention having to deal with the rain. Thanks again for taking us along and sharing. Happy Birthday thank Carlo🎉🎂🍾
How beautiful is Positano 💕🧉 🇮🇹
All that food in the supermarket looked amazing 👍
Amazing place, the simplicity.... I'm in love with that view and way of life
I don't now what caused this to be recommended on my feed, but I absolutely loved it!! You are just lovely and Positano is so beautiful. I love watching other people shopping!
Salt Lake City, Utah USA
Beautiful video...the water and picturesque views reminds me of my island home of Bermuda...loved everything about it..the chickens, shopping, food...just lovely🌸
So beautiful! I fell in love with Positano after watching a film that starred Robert Downey Jr and Marissa Tomei. I then watched any documentary, read books and TH-cam videos I could find on this gorgeous seaside city.
I love that movie "Only You"
So amazing to see what life is like in this beautiful area. Thank you!
Spectacular! Love a thunder and lightening storm ⛈
I love that store and how they give you samples even in covid times. I miss samples here in the states, that is the fun of shopping. At least you don't need a gym with all that stair climbing. And the view is totally worth it.
I always love going to a grocery store when I am traveling so thanks for the inside shot! :)
You know you are thinking in Italian when you say "I controlled the garden" 😂😂😂
I do the same!
I think I only make proper sense to people who speak both languages!
I love this video so raw..xx I love the small italian supermarkets so refreahing then being in overcrowded large ones here!💗💗thanks Nicki!
“I just want to do it as normal people do”
From what little I’ve seen your life seems amazing because it’s NOT ur typical living in a downtown apartment... subscribed! ☺️
I do love a good grocery store visit. It's one of my favorite things to do, go looking thru the shop and see all the stuff they have. thank you for sharing.
That was fun!!
Carlo at 33😂😁 can’t wait for Sunday.
Judy. You have an interesting and charming picture , i will love to know more about you and get to know each other as new friends, I hope you don't mind?
I'm lying in bed the night before Xmas eve wishing I was there, so beautiful and no sign of turmoil anywhere....how lovely!
I am in love with the pasta aisle! It's always fun to shop in other places. Thank you!
May God bless you and the TH-cam algorithm.. ❤
Loved this! When I visited Furore, one of the pleasant surprises was our trip to the grocery store. We indeed had to climb many steps to reach it on the road above. But the shopping experience was easier and more affordable than I expected. This brought me back.
