Crazy to think that Walmart is a damn Tourist attraction 🤣🤣🤣
When I lived in Orlando, I'd constantly get foreign tourists asking me how to find a Walmart
Texas has a gas station that's a tourist attraction
I guess they were tired of Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops taking the cake on that one. Now those are tourist attractions!
@@andrewham1397yep we love our Buccees
Chick fil a is one too 😂
I once bought a bottle of wine, a 30 foot dog leash, condoms, a machete, 5 gallons of motor oil, and a Valentine's Day card at 130 in the morning. Cashier rang it up and said "Big date tonight? "😂
I miss the stores not being open 24/7 after the virus.
lol
😂
You're probably on a FBI watch list with that combination. If not, it's because you didn't buy a bunch of disposable cameras to trigger a DEA flag. 😂😂😂
@@DTG_LOCKETT I'm a Marine veteran, I was already on a watch list. 😁
There is nothing more mundane to an American than Wal-Mart. Lol
I'm so glad they have free shipping on many items. I can get what I need without having to go there. 44 pound bags of cat food, delivered free. I'll need to tip the UPS guy this Christmas 😉
I'm an Irishman that's been living in the U.S for 9 years. (Getting my citizenship as we speak) I went back to Ireland on a trip last year and all the packages on the shelf In every supermarket looked TINY!!! It was surreal! 😂
I can’t even imagine experiencing that! Americans are so conditioned to expect everything to be big and bigger. 😂
That’s funny cause I battle with myself debating whether to spend close to $5 for a package of Oreos thinking there’s not enough cookies in the package to justify the price! 🤣
Congratulations! My mother's family (Irish) has been in Texas since the early 1800s. There's always room for more Irishmen!
@PAMELAPORTER-ci7mr Hey! Thank you! My mother-in-law is from Junction, Texas! Her family has been here since the 1600's! ❤️🇮🇪
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 on getting your citizenship.
Europeans might say, "Everything's bigger in the US" but in the US we say "Everything's bigger in Texas!"
including Texans Ego
You sure right about that
Y'all say ego we call it confidence
@@michaelbrewer2903lol that’s fantastic.
Except for the actual state size, of course. That goes to Alaska.
For the foreigners- There are many states in the USA that do not tax Food products. It varies by state.
Not all Walmarts have Gun sections either, again depends on the state
California doesn't tax food, except in restaurants.
Why are they so scary, hahahaha aaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahaha. Maybe because its HALLOWEEN .
I live in Phoenix Arizona, no tax on food in Phoenix but in Tempe Arizona there is a tax on food.
I grew up on the west coast and never paid tax on groceries but the first time I bought uncooked food in Alabama I almost had a heart attack. They charge 10 percent on all purchases, cooked or uncooled food.
In America we literally have stores that only open during the fall specifically for Halloween decorations/etc…it’s called “spirit Halloween “
Love spirit halloween
The prices of EVERYTHING have gone up since the pandemic. We are suffering some major inflation in the US. Those cheeseballs (some if the best by the way) used to be $2 cheaper just a couple of years ago.
Yvett: It wasn't only Covid. The Biden Price Hike (inflation) had a lot to do with these prices too.You are correct.
I was about to comment this. I know so many people struggling to keep their families fed
Biden sucks! This is why I’m voting for Trump.
One reason Americans buy in larger amounts may be the reflection of how far away things are. If a grocery store is a 15 or 20 min drive away (or even an hour away for someone who lives in the country) you don't go to the store as often. You tend to buy food for a week or longer in advance. In Europe, though, everything is generally in walking distance, and you only buy what you can easily carry in your arms. You shop much more often!
This! I think Americans in general don't go grocery shopping as often as other countries. We tend to stock up.
@@jenny4107 For sure! A lot of Americans have a deep freeze in addition to a regular fridge/freezer of good size. Some of those massive packs would go in the freezer and be used over the course of a month or more.
Everything in America is as close or closer Then in other countries, I have 6 grocery stores within the 3 to 10 minute drive of my house one of them being Walmart
That's just not true in many sections of America. Also, note that you said a "10 minute drive." A 10 minute drive is significantly longer on foot. Many European towns are completely walkable to everything. Some American's live a good 30-60 minutes drive from any grocery store.
@@spicoli9797 that's a pretty naive statement, have you lived anywhere else? Also depends on the country. Most people who live in more rural areas don't go shopping as often as those who live in the city or urban areas, and that is a large percentage of the USA. I've lived in WA, OR, CO, GA, CT, and ME and it's been more often than not a grocery store is at least 15 min away. I mean a real grocery store, not dollar general or 7eleven. Factor in traffic, the time it takes to shop and check out and you're looking at 1-2 hrs time at least. Plus there's gas money to think about. The only place I've lived where things were close was CT.
Compare that to my family who lives in Korea, it's pretty normal for them to stop by the market 2-3 times a week, or go shopping every 4 days or so, whereas for most families in USA, once a week is considered good and usually its more like every 10 days. Not saying distance is the only reason, but it is a factor to consider.
It cracks me up watching people, who live in some of the world's most beautiful places, freak out over Walmart lol
To be fair, it isn't necessarily Walmart per se, but the size of it. I was blown away at how close towns were in Germany. Not to mention how much actual history was in any 10 square mile area. Our bus was driving on the Autobahn from Munich to Cadolzburg, and it seemed that as soon as you saw the sign "Now leaving (enter town name here)" on the right hand side of the bus, you saw "Now entering (different town name)" on the left side. And it wasn't like these towns were suburbs, they were completely different towns actually separated by fields (?) or spaces. Whereas where I live, you can drive for 15+ minutes before entering another town.
Us North American's think nothing of hopping in a car and driving for 2+ hours to visit friends/family/cabin. In Europe, if you are gonna hope in a car and drive for 2+ hours, it is considered a holiday and requires months of planning and packing. Simply because if you drive for 200+ km you have left the country you started in.
White Castle is a fast food restaurant in the US and the burgers you saw was a frozen version of their burgers. Fun fact about White Castle is they only sell their burgers in slider form (small burgers) unlike some other fast food burger places that have a standard size burger. Some people like to buy these to just heat them up at home instead of going to the restaurant.
White Castles is the BOMB! I love those hamburgers, double cheese is the best. 🍔
Fun Fact (and I could be wrong about this) about Solo Cups - the different lines on the cups are for different spirits. The lowest line is for hard liquor, the middle line is for wine, the top line is for beer.
Please remember that I could be completely wrong about this, but I remember seeing something about this somewhere and it was reputable ... but my memory isn't quite as great as it once was.
Funny thing is we don't call them "red cups". They're Solo cups. Doesn't matter if they're red, blue or whatever, they're Solo cups.
Even if they're off-brand, we still call them Solo cups.
red solo cup, I fill you up, lets have a party, its time to party!
Lol everyone calls them red cups that I've met. I used to live in WV now I'm in AZ. To the point we make jokes about it not being red. Where do you live that they call them that. Here's your not red red cup. 😛
As far as I'm concerned they're just plastic cups, color only becomes relevant if the person asks for a specific one. But then I've never been a party-goer so maybe that's it? I pretty much only see "Solo cups" at graduation and birthday parties for family.
@@918guyR.I.P. Toby.
Walmarts can have other things, too, like banks, beauty shops, coffee shops, tax preparers, optical shops, hamburger shops, etc.
Don’t forget the garden area
I have never seen a bank inside a Walmart
We have a bank,optical and beauty shop.
@@LORDMM.I have a bank inside MY local Walmart, and I live in Evansville, Indiana.
I'm about 45 minutes North of Atlanta and I have 5 Walmart stores in a 20 mile radius. The one closest to me has a bank, optical, nail salon, Subway sandwich shop.... and a law office. Some of the other Walmart stores have cell phone repair, hair salon, veterinarian clinic, walk-in clinic for humans, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Dominoes pizza....
My grandmother has 3 fridges😂 But you know grandparents they stay prepared for anything.
In 2015, Walmart ended sales of modern sporting rifles, including the AR-15. They do not sell handguns, except in Alaska. They also do not sell bump stocks, high-capacity magazines and similar accessories.
Food prices at Walmart tend to be cheaper than at the average grocery store.
Yeah this is where the odd (crooked as they were calling it) pricing comes from. Like for instance if cookies were 3.99 at a smaller store, walmart would have it for 3.47. It's meant to be subliminally obvious to shoppers that the prices are lower. This is part of why walmart has gotten so huge vs other stores.
A lot of the time Aldi's is cheaper than walmart on basic items like milk, bread, butter, eggs etc.
Aldi is a bit cheaper. But yeah compared to other stores, it's more competitive.
I agree that Aldi is a bit cheaper but you dont have the selection that you do at walmart.. and they dont have everything.. so we pay for the convenience of having everything in one place@@SherriLyle80s
Definitely depends on the store. Market Basket here is cheaper but if you want oddball or international items, Walmart is better.
A lot of American homes have a full size refrigerator with freezer and then an additional "fridge " or a stand alone freezer in the basement or garage. At our house we have two full fridge with freezers in the house and then two deep freezers in the garage. Allows for storage for big items (specifically Costco hauls!)
In my family's case the secondary deep freezer is for game meat after hunting season. The primary fridge and freezer is for normal groceries.
I have a huge upright freezer in my garage and another fridge for beverages. Another regular fridge in house. This guy is complaining about everything
I actually have 3 refrigerators and a full size freezer, all full and it’s just me and hubby. But I shop sales and stock up and we have kids and grand kids that drop in a lot
Same! Two full fridge/freezers, then a large upright freezer in the basement, and a chest freezer in the garage.
Christmas stuff is put out the day after Halloween. I don’t care when they put stuff out early.
The problem with videos like these is that there are so many choices and the stores are so large that a lot of it is cut out or condensed. To walk an entire Wal-Mart, every section and every isle, could take several hours. Yes, there are several brands that are expensive but there's also a lot that isn't. For example, I've only ever bought White Castle sliders twice in my life because they are so expensive. And yes, you can get pizzas for less than two dollars, but they won't be great. I think we often forget or are oblivious to how good we have it. You can comfortably live your entire life only shopping at a Wal-Mart. Theres shoes, clothing, pharmacy, hygiene products, food, furniture, hardware, cleaning supplies, electronics, books, hunting and camping, automotive, and more.
I've never been to the UK or Europe but I have checked out Tesco's website before and from what I can tell the prices are about even with US being just a little cheaper. It just seems more expensive because of the size differences.
Also, I've never seen it mentioned before but Wal-Mart offers express same delivery of groceries. You don't even need to go to the store.
Most retailers do use the $0.49 and $0.99 pricing schemes, and they're usually suggested by the manufacturer. Walmart just marks their prices down to be competitive. Many of their bigger packaged items are custom made and only available at Walmart.
Please note: prices vary according to state and region. Urban is more expensive than a rural Walmart. Taxes differ by state also. Also, only some walmarts have firearms (most of texas) and mostly rural walmarts in towns where hunting is more common.
False, live in very rural texas, our walmart barely sells ammo..
@@mikecook8712 I live in suburban NY and while Walmart doesn't sell guns, the three stores next to it(stores for outdoor stuff, animal feed, woodstoves, hunting supplies, yard stuff, etc.) do.
@@mikecook8712 Yeah, Walmart stopped selling guns in Alabama a couple of years back. I thought they announced they had nationwide.
@@Wheatbread93 i have seen a couple in the last year that still sold guns... But they're far and in-between
@@LycanFerret we have the same thing here... Many farm stores have a huge 🔫 department here... Its nice to be able to walk in buy some feed, a pew pew, and ammo...
I imagine you don't have the variety we do... Hell a saiga was on sale for $300 with two, ten round mags... A semi auto 12ga shotty with ten round mags... I mean i felt bad for the shotty so i had to bring it home... So undervalued... 😂
The best way to get chocolate in the USA is at local candy shops where it's made in small batches. The big companies use chemicals and the local candy makers use real ingredients. We LOVE chocolate here and fudge too!
You should see how much lead Hershey contains - older plants get it from the soil and no, not pollution; soil on our planet is full of heavy metals and other stuff.
Most people get it from gas stations
It is locally made fudge here in MI.
Or truffles.
The FDA allows for a certain level of fly eggs, rat hair and fecal matter in a corporate candy bar...
My closest grocery store options are either 5 miles away (smaller, more expensive) & 10 miles away (larger, more affordable Walmart-like store).
Because it requires a 40-minute round trip drive, I only go once a week. We have larger food storage (fridge/freezer, pantry, etc) to reflect that
White Castle is an old fast food place that was started in the 1920s. it was the first fast food place. It is mainly in the midwest states. Their gimmick is that they sell tiny square burgers (sliders). Originally, the hamburgers were 5 cents each so people would buy them by the bag full. Not so cheap anymore. I think the guy likes it because he saw it in a movie he likes. And food prices in the US are through the roof. Walmart is the cheapest place to shop. Food prices here have basically doubled.
He also left out so many sections!! There's a full housewares section with all your kitchen needs and appliances, bathroom items, curtains, rugs, pictures... An entire electronics section.. a HUGE toy section, automotive section... Pretty much name it they have it!
Some Walmarts also have a hardware/paint section, optometrist, coffee shop, fast food like McDonald's, tax preparer, and more.
@@rachelh5211yep, I recently paid $60 to get my eyes checked at Walmart
I work at Walmart and we started putting out Christmas stuff at the end of September. By the end of October there were 24 aisles dedicated to Christmas (9 in the standard seasonal section, 2 in housewares, 13 in the garden section) and additional Christmas stuff all over the store. I hate it. I will be covered in glitter until Easter.
Even the checkout belts have glitter on them lol.
😅😂🤣💕
I’m
Sorry you feel that way, but I get it. You work there and I’m a customer, so we see things differently. I still love Christmas though and I hope it’s gets better for you. 😊
Oh my god, yes. I work in pick up now, but I started in toys before Halloween. Closer to the end of the Christmas season, they asked me to help condense it, and my vest was covered in glitter for days.
And I hate that too. At least wait until after Halloween to put out Christmas stuff.
Christmas merch gets put out in July! Before summer ends! Music starts in October.
Walmart is not found in the cities. Walmart was originally for farmers and they could buy everything they needed from tractor tires to shotguns to diapers to toasters at a low price. Utilitarian stuff and good customer service. Because it was aimed at farmers, Walmart was always in the middle of nowhere and farmers would drive hours to go shop there once a month. now it is found out in suburbia and they have added a supermarket and more fashionable clothes. They upgraded the quality and assortment of merchandise because Target became a competitor.
I live in a large city and we have Walmarts everywhere.
Fun tip about the Solo Cups: they are 16 ounces - the line closet to the bottom of the cup is 1 ounce (Shot), the next line up is 5 ounces (Wine, fruit juice serving) and the next line up is 12 ounces (beer serving).
Thanks _ I'll have to remember this!👍🏾
Uggh Wally World being treated as a cultural icon (which it most likely is at this point) is just such a FOREIGN concept to us Americans.
We're spoiled 😂
I love Walmart.
@@kalindakelly3417 I enjoy the easy access to so many needs AND wants in the same place myself, lol. VERY convenient
Most states don't charge tax on food, vegetable seeds and some vitamins. Things were alot cheaper before 2021 (inflation).
Inflation has been an ongoing problem since at least the 1970s.
When I saw the gun cases I knew they were in the south somewhere. Then they got to the Clemson and USC and I thought “Yeah, should’ve known”
No, Suave is not a WalMart brand. It was owned by Unilever & sold in the US, Canada, Argentina & a couple other countries I can't think of right now. But Suave was recently sold (at least in the US and Canada) to a company called Yellow Wood. Suave will still be owned & sold by Unilever outside the US and Canada though.
PS: Anything that is labelled "Equate" is a WalMart brand.
I was shocked she didn't know suave is a well known brand.
Equate and Great Value are Walmart brands. Isn’t Equate more pharmacy related?
Calm down...
@@Ribcrickett Equate Pharmacy/HBA, Great Value food, Mainstays home-goods, hyper tough hardware and auto
The cost of living varies greatly across the United States so something that cost $20 in New York or California might cost $10 or less in the Midwest. Groceries (food) is usually more expensive in cities as well.
it can get expensive too if its too far from other places....with a buy from me or travel another hour to 2 type areas
Actually it's the opposite On the coasts where population is larger the price is less expensive because they sell more. In the center of the country where it doesn't sell as much makes it harder to find and more costly 😊
@@karenwhaley8635 you’re right the cost of living in cities is much cheaper than rural America, don’t let them fool you…stay in the city.
They skipped automotive, sporting goods shoes, crafts, housewares, hardware, furniture and a bunch more on the other side
White Castles are more in the store to make at home than to go to the actual White Castle restaurant to buy burgers. You pay more for the convenience of being able to have them whenever you want at home.
All of our food prices are high. Like they went up about 150% in the last couple of years. You can get about 5 bags of groceries and pay over 100 dollars. It's crazy.
Your channel is my most watched channel now. Thanks for all the great stuff! Also hi from Colorado USA 😀
I also watch “Your New Zealand Family” and they were just here in America and it was so cute watching them get so excited about things we just take for granted. I think you would like their Walmart shopping video too.
I was just going to say that!😂
I watch them too
i'll have to have a look at it!:)
@@L3WGReactscheck out the videos of college American football in America. It's insane. Our college American football stadiums are only level with y'all football(soccer) stadiums.
@L3WGReacts At some wallmarts they sell guns and ammo !! 😅😂
I worked at Walmart. According to my pedometer I walked an average of 7 miles per shift. There are parts of the store that this video doesn't show like make-up, produce, shoes, office supplies, small appliances, and more. The "crooked number" prices are a Walmart thing.
That place must be huge. I work in the ACC at 2674 and I only do about 5-7k steps a day
I LOVE IT. The sooner the better. Especially Christmas music 🎶
It’s crazy seeing people excited to go to a Walmart when for me it’s always been something that I hated every time my mom made me go there with her
Not every Walmart has a gun counter--in fact, the number that do is dwindling. Walmart likes odd price endings--to give you the impression things are less there but I also think it has something to do with inventory age tracking. We definitely complain about Christmas stuff out early--but we still shop it! And you have no idea how big college football is until you visit Columbus Ohio during "Beat Michigan" week! We go so far as to actually skip writing the first letter of any word that starts with an "M" that week! Also, all of our prices have nearly doubled in the last 2 years.
O-H !!!
@@talainis4688 I-O!
Yeah, no our prices have not doubled in 2 years. our CPI has literally gone down since peaking in 2022. Our CPI (Consumer Price Index) is only about 0.13 higher than pre-pandemic levels for the national average. Certain things like eggs and chicken are higher recently because of the bird-flu breakout and millions of chickens had to be destroyed. That had nothing to do with general inflationary reasons. We had negative CPI in 2023. In closing, our prices are pretty darn close to pre-pandemic levels at this point. Many folks simply have very short memories is all.
@@pen1208 Bingo! I eat just as well or better than I did 4 years ago pre-pandemic. My grocery budget is about $50 a month higher now, but that's because I eat a lot more prepared frozen food now, because my disability is worse.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Wage growth has grown substantially more in the past 3 years as well. So, with the CPI going back to where it was before 5.5 years ago, the average American dollar goes further now. Additionally, the stock market has made over 60 new highs since January 2021...meaning 401Ks have made more money in 3 years than at any point under the previous administration as well. That's all with conflict going on. Dem presidents have historically gotten us out of Republican recessions over the past 50-60 years. The most job growth has been under dem president's. In my opinion, many are scarred pretty hard from covid 2020, and many still feel the life changes from that and blame the most straightforward thing they can, even though it's just false. Our economy has never been as well off as it is currently. I do understand the COVID trauma, though. I don't discount that. It just isn't focused on the correct source. Almost all negative swings were under Mr. T. Like empty shelves, frozen supply chain, no PPE, mobile morgues, inflation began under T, tariffs with China increased many goods simultaneously, etc. There just isn't any valid comparison of the 2.
"Normal" chocolate is in the baking aisle... They're in the candy aisle... Of course they're going to find candy bars. 😂
And at the check out.
That man is not talking about baking chocolate. He means bar chocolate in plain flavors like milk chocolate and dark chocolate where in Europe they would have multiple different milk chocolate brands in bar form and each would be unique. Which would def be in the candy bar aisle. We have that market in the US but not on walmart shelves, he would have to hit a boutique shop or some kind of candy shop.
Walmart has the chocolate types that he is looking for but he is overlooking them. Perhaps the packaging is different than what he is looking for but it's there. He is dismissing what she says without taking a look at them. Personally give me the Ghirardelli 72% and I'm happy & yes I buy it at Walmart along with dark chocolate Raisinets!
My Walmart has a large display of chocolate bars in the front by the registers. Much American chocolate is too sweet for me, I like Lindt because they have different % cocoa.
We have craft shows just after summer begins that are called "Christmas in July". Marketing for Christmas starts REALLY early! 🎄🎄🎄
They are in that Walmart in October. There will be some out for Christmas in July sales, but it’ll be late September before most stores stock up on Christmas stuff. Halloween has gotten to be very big, and we actually have stores that sell Halloween stuff year round, though most stores don’t stock it until September. The day after Christmas, Valentines stuff is everywhere.
The pricing at Walmart varies wildly depending on where you live in the states. These prices are higher compared to where I live. Even between towns that are very close there are often price differences to some degree.
Most Walmart stores carry t-shirts for the local high school teams as well. Many have phased out firearms except in areas popular for hunting. American's major complaints about Walmart is 1. Self checkout 2. Moving stock around after you memorize where everything is. 3. Finding a clothing item you like but what sizes they have left is extra small or 4x. They are great for a one stop shopping experience but sadly they have forced most mom and pop shops out of business by underpricing them.
Yes, and then once they've forced those other stores in the area to close, they raise their grocery and other items' prices.
Yea you will never find 4 XL or size 50 waist out of stock at walmart, they have a tiny section for normal size ppl in the corner, always sold out.
I have coined the term Hallturkmas for the retail nightmare. It is pronounced Hal-turk-mus. This is the combination holiday in the States that includes Halloween, Thanksgiving (aka Harvest) and Christmas. I quit my retail job on 2nd Sep. At the time we had Halloween and Harvest set up on the shelves and had already had two sales events for Christmas merchandise that was still in the store that needed to get gone from previous years.
Cheapest pizza is a Totinos for about $1.50. If you want bang for your buck go to the deli for the "fresh" made walmart marketside pizza. White Castle sliders you love or hate them. I don't like them.
Forgot to mention food is not usually taxed in most states.
The university stuff is usually stocked by which schools are in the area.
Your saying your pizza is cheaper, but what toppings are on it? The DiGiorno pizza he held up has sauce, cheese, two or three different types of meats, a couple of different veggies, and then the border crust is stuffed with cheese. The ingredient list makes a huge difference in the prices.
Even now, you can get a Tony's Pepperoni pizza for $3.50 at Safeway.
Also, not just the size and toppings...but also, do the toppings taste like rubber...does the crust taste like cardboard? Store/frozen pizza quality varies greatly.
Whoever said our chocolate isn't good has NEVER had our *_'Ghirardelli"_* chocolates.✅
Ferrero Rocher is Italian.
It's a little better. But you can better than Ghirardelli, US made for a price at specialty shops. which are not going to be sold a big box store.
I live in san francisco and ghiradelli is from here. there's plenty of great chocolate producers in our country, and they're just the tip of the iceberg. the issue is that people think everything can be found in walmart. nope. gotta go to speciality shops!
Godiva, yum
Malley’s Chocolate is the bomb.
Potatoes salad recipes vary. I make mine by boiling peeled and cut up potatoes until fork soft. Drain off the water. Add chopped up hard boiled eggs, yellow mustard 2 Tablespoons, mayo about 1 cup (varies depending on amount of potatoes), sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, 2 chopped green onions, salt and pepper. That is the basic additions. There are unlimited other recipes.
The more prepared something is the more expensive it is. I usually check out the price/ounce. My Walmart app shows the sliders at $14 (classic Walmart out of place or mislabeled) or 55 cents per ounce. You can get cheap prepared food or cheese or sandwich meat for about 20 cents an ounce. Flour is about 3 cents an ounce. Spaghetti sauce is 6-10 cents an ounce. Canned beans are 5-10 cents per ounce. Bread has quite a range at 7-20 cents per ounce. $2-5 /pound is typical for chicken. Eggs are a little expensive right now at 15 cents per egg (in a dozen or bigger sizes) a gallon (3.78L) of milk depends on your Walmart (rude) at $2.60-5
Walmart's pricing scheme is pretty simple, though I don't know all the exact details. They price funny (x.56 instead of x.99) both as a consumer draw (it's cheaper than the competition) and as an internal code. The last digit in the price can often represent a different status of product, such as regular stock, seasonal limited, clearance, special buy, etc. Taxation really doesn't factor into it.
Walmarts are usually divided into two sections, grocery will be on one side and everything else will be on the other, and garden center attached but outside.
I never get mad about seeing things for Christmas! Some people get sick of it long before it's over though!
We don't have sales tax on food here in Michigan, should have went to Wal-Mart there!
They start the Christmas stuff being put out mid October! Halloween is often put out the end of August beginning of September. It’s crazy! Fall is my favorite time of the year!
In regards to tax, every state, county, city has different tax rules depending on their populations needs. This is why taxes seem so random. Two cities maybe side by side in the same county and state, but their city might have different rules. You travel even further. Now another county has lower/ higher taxes than the one next to it. Even further, now a different state with maybe a lower population will have lower taxes. That's why a full price with taxes will never be listed in these big stores that are spread out throughout the country.
Also, as a side note, if you come and visit us, please do not be as arrogant and rude as this guy. He loves to mock the southern accent and poke fun at their lifestyle and gun culture. Make no mistake, a southern accent does not indicate a lower intelligence, just a different background. He was very rude and closed-minded. This is no different than him mocking any other lifestyle.
He mocks Americans and our culture all the time! I quit being a channel member. If it's not like Germany, then it's ridiculous, disgusting, stupid or "redneck". He's been back to the USA several times since this video
True that extremely rude. I have worked in retail for just about all my life and have always worked in stores that have had a lot of international visitors and customers. I live in a resort town as well. Foriegn customers fall into two distinct categories. One's that are totally excited and thrilled to be here and love American culture. The other group tend to be rude, conceited and turn their nose up at American culture like this jerk, Feli, Eva and sometimes Diane Jennings
I think it stems from jealousy of America. I have a very good friend that lives in Georgia for the U.S. division of a German firearms company. The first thing when the engineers from Europe come to visit is that they want a ride in his Dodge Ram 1500.
The guy on the video needs to mind his manners. He is very likely to talk to some of the wrong ppl to mock and get his butt kicked. Like the ppl I grew up around in Appalachia and where I live now in the western high desert of Nevada.
@@philmakris8507 this type of rude behavior and stereotyping is probably why people tell foreigners to go home. If you went to France and were mocking the French, I’m sure they’d respond in the same fashion. Many behave as if the entire US is Disneyland and everyone is expected to entertain and appease their every whim. .
I agree, that dude was a dick
Where I am (Oregon), we do not have a sales tax. What you see on the shelf is what you pay at the register. The government keeps trying to give us a sales tax, and we keep voting "NO!!!"
The cost of food has gone up recently, but it also depends on location. Also, sales tax also differs by location. Some states don't have it at all. Here in Washington State, most grocery items don't have sales tax unless it's prepared food or soft drinks.
Same with Indiana
Also same with Florida.
I work at Walmart. You are not seeing even half of the store. The garden center, the hardware and paint counter, infant section, shoe department etc.
On the one side entrance by the pharmacy will be several aisles of “seasonal” items. That changes by season or holiday. Summer things, Halloween things, back-to-school things…
The Walmart where I live also has an arcade, lottery ticket machines, you can buy any computer, printer, phone, camera, tablet, headphones, phone and other chargers. All the electronic essentials. There's also a baby section for diapers, baby wipes, car seats, strollers. They sell furniture, craft supplies like paint and canvas, yarn, crayons, etc. They have a school supply section. They have kitchenware, plates, cups, cutlery, etc. They sell kitchen appliances like refrigerators, microwaves and coffee pots, ect. They have a whole book section that's like a mini bookstore practically. They sell bedding, sheets, pillows, matresses, and other home decorations and stuff like curtains, bathroom appliances and supplies like towels and towel racks and soap dispensers and toothbrush holders. The toy section is INSANE! They have a HUGE selection in every age range. You can buy bicycles or scooters. They have a vehicle service section where you can get your oil changed or tires changed. They have a jewelry counter and display case. They have a whole section that looks pretty much just like a store which sells makeup and skin care products only. They have an entire aisle just for candles and wax warmers for f@#$ sake. Lol. Just mentioning all the sections you might not have seen or weren't explored in this particular video . 😂 It really does have everything except the kitchen sink. And you might even be able to get a kitchen sink at Sam's Club, which is owned by and is basically a warehouse version of Walmart where you can buy all the items you see in Walmart, except in bulk. LOL. As if the sizes aren't big enough in Walmart, according to what you have said. (But, we do buy things there like a half a years worth of toilet paper for REALLY REALLY cheap.) Hehe.
We have a full size freezer in our garage. It contains beef, chicken, bacon and other meats that went on sale. It saves us a lot of money. For example, a chuck roast that is regularly $7.49 per lb goes on sale for $3.99 per lb. Most of the people I know have an extra freezer. Since we also grow fruits and vegetables, we freeze what we don't can. Since we moved to a smaller town in Oregon, we don't eat a lot of fast food anymore. I like the variety to choose what to cook from a well stocked freezer and pantry. I enjoy cooking and baking. I'll make an extra pecan pie to send you Lewis.
There is only a few Walmarts that still have rifles and shotguns. The company has removed guns from most of the stores.
White Castle is a restaurant chain and their specialty is the sliders. They are a hamburger/cheeseburger that the bun is the size of a large dinner roll and you order them 2,4,6 at a time. They are convenient to heat up in microwave.
November. Right after Halloween, Christmas is ALL OVER Walmart, and yes, I do get mad, especially when that Christmas music starts playing.
Full disclosure - I have 2 extra freezers in my garage and all of them are stuffed! Also, you can get a fresh uncooked jumbo pizza for cheaper than a frozen pizza. Then you go home and throw it in the freezer. Walmart also has a plant and auto section. And Yes - it's annoying to have school supplies out with the Halloween Candy, Thanksgiving Turkey and Christmas Trees. They just melded the entire Holiday Season into a blur of Happy HallowThankMas! Yes - I actually own that T-shirt!
Or Merry Thanksgivoween.
@@Maugrays Well, you see, THAT one wasn't on sale at my local Walmart!😁
@@Raggmopp-xl7yf it was the answer to a joke I learned years ago.
What do you get when you cross a Christmas tree, a vampire and a turkey? (Or something to that effect - it's been at least a decade.....)
And the answer: Merry Thanksgive-oween. (That's the part that really sticks out to me. My mom and I still get a kick out of it.)
And they tend to taste better. Frozen isn't as good IMO.
I haven't seen it mentioned on any of the "differences in America" videos but yes--many of us have extra freezers in the garage and depending on where you live, your whole garage can serve as an extra freezer in winter!
Walmart is actually pretty cheap compared to a regular store, and the USA is just expensive
I was in my Scarborough Walmart 4 days before Christmas. And they had Valentine's Day candy up
Don't forget about the exchange rate. Walmarts are frequently cheaper than other places: that's how they drive away competition.
Let me post some thingsI bought recently.
4pak of 170 grams peach yogurts for $1.96
567 grams loaf whole wheat sliced bread $1.97
2 large tomtoes $2.27
1.19 kg of rolled oats $3.98
$5.64 for 1.89 litres half & half coffee creamer (it's creamier than whole milk, but not as thick as whole cream)
When you shop at Costco and similar wholesale warehouse stores, you really need extra freezers and refrigerators. Most people have a second refrigerator in the garage or in the basement. My daughter renovated their kitchen and made a walk-in pantry big enough to fit their freezer. Is very handy to have it right in the kitchen.
I go to sams club but I don't buy that much frozen stuff. sometimes I'll get a pack of pizzas or their store brand bag of pre-cooked frozen chicken breasts. a couple minutes in the microwave with a heated side or two and dinner is ready. I mainly get stuff like dishwasher pods, dog food and other staple stuff at sam's.
When we were finally able to get the fancy new refrigerator I’d drooled over for years, we moved our old, perfectly good, fridge/freezer to the garage. Our oldest said “oohhh just like rich people!”
in every super walmart there is usually a cloths section, electronics section, hardware section, automotive section, toy section, sports and hunting section, pet section, health care section, garden section, pharmacy (chemist) and drugs section (over the counter only, the pharmacy keeps the other stuff locked up), home goods section (holiday section, and a grocery section. the grocery section is the size of a full size grocery store with bakery, deli, seafood, meats, dairy, (usually) alcoholic section, frozen, veggie and fruits, snacks, baking products, bread, canned meat products (like stew or chili), canned veggie and fruits, candies, drinks, kitchen products (like paper plates and utensils and napkins) home cleaning, and baby supplies. (I'm sure that I've forgotten some)
So you have a very large department store (and all the sections it has) + a full pharmacy (chemist) store + a large grocery store with deli + 4 bay (4 cars at a time) automotive shop (where they work on cars) + large plant nursery with garden supplies and garden/yard tools + sports/hunting store + electronic store
my local super walmart is just under 400 ft x 600 ft. so that makes it just under 240,000 square feet big.
I work in ACC, and we have 6 bays. We are considered a small store. We do about 1000$ a day. Some of the bigger store have 8-10 individual bays that are in a line side by side. Each person get there own.
They don’t play Christmas music in October, however.. they do start playing it directly after thanksgiving..
A third of a Walmart is groceries. The other two-thirds includes a big selection in health, garden, tools, car parts, electronics and so forth.
I work at a Walmart and they usually start putting Christmas items out at late September to early October. Also the prices are different depending on which region or state of the country you’re in.
I also work for Walmart lol
They were late then. I was a mod team member. Supposed to set Halloween two weeks before September. And Christmas first week of September.
Where i live, we have a local chocletair so it depends on where you live. Commerial brands are what you see in the stores.
You should do a video of you at your store so we can see what you've been talking about. There's A LOT of Americans that could NEVER get to the UK to see anything you've been talking about. That will be so kool seeing your part of the world! Stay happy, and healthy! Susan
Walmart has everything. Food, pharmacy, automotive, furniture, etc
Ahhh, but SEARS had everything---including homes (but not groceries, but was still their slogan).
@@CabinFever52 and Sears is out of business here.... :(. along with Montgomery Wards :(
Hearing his thoughts on pizza price is interesting. As far as the pizza goes the frozen ones are quite cheap, around where I live even “cheap” take out pizza like Dominoes is like $18 for a comparable size. And that is before any delivery fee, tax and tip. Makes it easy to hit about $26 for a single pizza.
Agreed. His idea of just living on take out isn't going to work. Even McDonald's costs a fortune for two people to eat now. The least expensive pizza we can get is to get the frozen pizza dough at Aldi and make your own.
Where I live the dominos always has a deal where you get atleast two items, for example, 2 medium pizzas and they come out too 6.99$ each and you can get as many as u want with that deal. Could literally buy 10 pizza and all come in at 6.99$😂 but it also works for the cheesy bread, wings, and things like that
@@anthonyingram9981Yeah, but if you get only 3 items on the $6.99 deal, that's $22 right there. Extra toppings, or build your own? Ding ding. More than one sauce cup for your chicken? Wups, ding again. Oh hey, dessert would be nice. Another $7. Then there's delivery. At least in OR we don't have sales tax, but I'm sure they make up for it. It tends to come out to $28 - $35. And when you build up 60 points and get your 'free' pizza, you need to spend a minimum of $10 over that, because they don't count the free one as part of the minimum; it has to be extra money you spend. Plus delivery. The last time I let myself get suckered, I spent $17 on my 'free' pizza, not counting tip. I didn't want the other stuff that much, but I was dying for pizza. 😄 I may seem to be whining, but I'm living just on my Social Security. That's a big chunk of change in a month for me. I can get much more food at the grocery store for the same price. So Domino's is only a few times a year. And if I do want delivery, DoorDash with Dashpass is much more reasonable.
They should have gone by the delivery area and gotten one of the refrigerator pizza from there. They're pretty reasonably priced for their size.
We also have Lego stores, but only in big cities like Chicago. Walmart only carries a selection of Legos.
I like seeing Christmas items early, because that's when you can buy all of your needs without the Christmas rush. In mid November to Christmas Day it is a mad house where you cannot even walk,so the earlier the better.
They also have arts and crafts section, office supplies, notebooks and pens section, cosmetics section. It is the place you can get pretty much everything. Dishes, cleaning supplies, appliances except for washer and dryer and refrigerators. In the town I live in we have at least 4 Walmarts. Each one is a different size too.
Thing is, as he said, it's still not Halloween yet in this vid. And already they have Christmas stuff out. Problem we have with this is that they use a lot of aisles from the gardening section for Christmas. In most states (I'm in Pennsylvania) in October/early November we still need some of those outdoor products. The general rule of thumb here is to let Thanksgiving pass before getting into Christmas. But large retailers like Walmart want to cash into every holiday possible for as long as possible.
I agree. I've seen Christmas stuff out as early as September. It's bonkers to me. IMO mid-November should be the earliest we see Christmas stuff.
Yeah, it's craziness. In the county I live in, there is actually an agreement that public radio stations will not begin playing Christmas music until Thanksgiving night. Before this, you could hear 'The Monster Mash' and 'Jingle Bells' back to back.@@LiveFreeOrDieDH
Walmart has pricing codes for different sections of merch. Like a type of food item will end in a 4 and a type of clothing will end in a 7.
Generally, the prices ml-for-ml / oz-for-oz / etc end up being close to each other. Prices in America seem more expensive, but you get "in-bulk" when you buy American style.
As for shopping in Walmart specifically, I have this saying: You can find just about everything in a Walmart, but the more niche the item is, the worse the value becomes.
For example, staples like bread and such have great value pricing, but say a specific tool or electronic device that sees limited numbers of demand (say a USB sound mixer), the quality goes down for the amount you spend on it.
As for White Castle, it's a premier brand that used to be the brand that sets the bar for quality. They started in restaurants and have expanded from there.
As a resident of America, I was married to someone who worked at a Walmart... If you know what to look for, you can find good/great deals on various things.
Okay the chocolate that he's asking for is not in the candy aisle, He's looking for Pure straight chocolate, That you would find here in the US in the baking section, Where you buy baking Goods. That's where you get pure just chocolate and it's unsweetened. 😇
no, he was talking about actual chocolate.
we have milk chocolate and like 50% maybe 70%
over seas they would consider stuff around 80% as not good.
they are looking for a 100% chocolate bar. in which, is what the rest of teh world makes candy out of.
the same chocolate you eat as a snack, is the same chocolate you put in baking, and chocolate milk....
you can take one of their candy bars and put it in hot water to get hot chocolate.
We have thousands of chocolatiers across the country that have won awards, but the stuff you buy in stores is like 'easter basket candy' sometimes cheap but moderately OK. The good stuff isn't sold at Walmart or made by Hershey's. There's a lot of good local and a lot of good online bean to bar stuff. Europeans NEVER try that stuff.
The 100% unsweetened chocolate bar in the US is called baker's chocolate and is in the baking isle.
@@Artemis4Sun and thats not eating chocolate like these people are talking about.
if they wanted baking chocolate they obviously would have gone to the baking ilse....
but no, they wanted regular chocolate, not milk chocolate.
the baking chocolate is literally what you make choclate bars out of,,,,literally not meant for eating and nobody does.
it would be like eating coffee grounds, rather disgusting and something only few edge lords do IRL
No that’s not at all what they’re looking for 😂😂 The fact that so many people, likely Americans, liked your comment is embarrassing.
All these people that keep visiting Walmart keep talking about our taxes but we don't get taxed on groceries. Food does not get taxed unless it's fast food or considered fast food, alcohol, and some places tax soda.
Gonna edit this so people stop correcting me. Apparently 5̶ 13 out of 50 states still tax groceries. I've lived across the US and never had to deal with it so I figured it was a countrywide thing.
It depends on where you are. Some states do tax groceries.
@@marylove909I didn't even know that because I've lived across the United States and I've never had to deal with grocery tax. Apparently five States still tax groceries.. 🤣 most states don't though.
We don't have sales tax on anything here. It depends on which state you're in.
Most states do tax groceries
@@dakotachristensen3397 most states Do NOT tax groceries. 5 states out of 50 do.
Pretty much all food you buy at Walmart, in Wisconsin, minus for candy, soda and ready made food is all tax free. So the price on the tag is what you pay. But it varies state to state.
When we go shopping we buy 2 weeks worth of food/meals. And we've a deep freeze in the garage. Which is just a big chest freezer to store a lot of frozen stuff in. Along with the freezer that is in the refrigerator.
So, the first thing they showed was the Halloween isles, so it's before 10/31. The earliest I think I've seen Walmart do Christmas was mid-September.
regular milk cholate is very common in American stores. why he couldn't find it baffles me. there are usually around 10 brands of just milk or 'dark' (43% or more) cholate in nearly every store, especially walmart. we have lots of milk cholate, dark cholate, white cholate and even other cholates (several different higher % cacao) or stuff added to the cholate, like flavors or nuts.
I think he was kind of meaning like chocolate that’s literally made/started in the US like we have so much stuff that’s from other countries. So that means Hershey’s and Girardelli is probably the most visible nation wide.
I travel from California to the north of England at the end of the year. The first year i went I brought a big box of See’s chocolate . They rolled their eyes a bit until they tasted it. The next year I brought a massive bag of Ghirardelli’s chocolates. Now every year there’s a massive debate and vote between See’s and Ghirardelli’s .
ive heard that chocolate in america tastes very different than it does in europe. something about the way its produced in america changes the flavor pretty significantly and its apparently for the worse according to people that have tried both
Trust me, nothing sweet in America can touch European food. HFCS is awful and in everything.
@@gristen They would probably be referring primarily to Hershey. It was originally made with a milk product that’s gone slightly sour and gave it a very distinctive flavor.
It’s a taste that we have become used to and therefore has sentimental value for us. Other chocolates like See’s and Ghirardelli’s that are quite good.
Since around 2020, groceries have increased in price by a lot, I believe 30% on average, but some products more. Walmart used to have 60 eggs for $5.99 and now $15.99.
Bidenomics
@@garycamara9955Let’s Go Brandon!
They started putting out earlier and earlier. Some stores will have like Halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas around august/september.
One outside area…connected to the automotive supplies inside the store……is the garage…for new tire installation, fixing a flat, or changing the oil…but considering they have all the food you will ever need, fresh, frozen or canned, all the clothes any family will ever need, toys for every age, camping and fishing gear and supplies, televisions , laptop computers, mobile phones, televisions and stereos, video games, baby clothes and baby food and supplies, cosmetics and over the counter drugs for colds or hay fever…pain relievers, diet supplies, books and magazines, necessities like toilet paper or paper towels , paper plates , trash can liners, pet supplies and pet food…you have to ask….what don’t they have…as well as a deli with hot meals…behind the glass and hot food sitting there ready to just pick up and go…like fried chicken or hot dogs or spring rolls…or corn dogs…
you have to understand that since the pandemic, prices for EVERYTHING has skyrocketed, especially food stuff. a dozen eggs used to be $2 and now in some places it's $8. meat and dairy products are the hardest hit for high prices..
The reason eggs and chicken were so high priced has nothing to do with Covid or inflation.
They are high because of a epidemic of bird flu. Millions of fowl had to be euthanized because of it. This in turn caused prices to rise. They are now coming back down to pre-epidemic prices.
The reason beef and dairy is extremely high is because of drought. You can't feed and water a herd in severe drought conditions. Many cows and calves had to be sent to market, and the calves were not full sized when they went to market. This has also created a shortage.
Not since the pandemic, SINCE Biden!! FJB-LGB
I get eggs at Market 32, they have a carton of 2.5 dozen aka 30 eggs for $5.00.
@@thomasjackson9218naturally the prices for everything was going up since a lot of people were not working. Trump said it would happen before leaving office. Biden just made it worst because if he cant fix a problem he just throws millions of dollars at the problem which just makes everything worse. Also during his mid term he lowered the prices of everything so he looks good but all that did is jack prices up even more and for longer.
@@thomasjackson9218 Lazy thinking. As the food shopper of my household I know that the egg prices started going up during the pandemic and continued because of the bird flu. Not everything is political. Yeesh. :-/ btw, at my local stop & shop a dozen is now around $5.00. at the local Aldi it's $2.69.
Food has gotten more expensive the last few years, but they were also looking at a lot of "brand name" items because thats the things that people know, but they'll be more expensive then the generic/walmart brand. The gun thing is interesting because all of the Walmarts in my area got rid of them in the last year or two (I live in Missouri). Also most Walmarts used to be open 24 hours but since covid they've kind of stopped that. The ones near me close at 11 pm.
The tax depends on the state, county, and city. Not every state taxes groceries. I live in one that does. But i never even think about it. I just kind of round up everything in my head and add a dollar or two, and it'll usually be close enough to the final price.
Also we do tend to buy things in bulk, especially if you live with or in a family. In my family we always had a regular fridge/freezer and two deep freezers for extra stuff.
I also live in Missouri and there are some that got rid of firearms but the ones I’ve seen that did still have ammo . The one nearest me still has firearms . I think the ones that no longer have them are in the bigger cities .
@darrellruehter9877 I live in the St. Louis metro (not in St. Louis or St. Louis County though) so that's probably why. We might still have ammo in the stores near me, but for a long time it was always out of stock so who knows 🤷♀️
You can get regular sized stuff in Walmart too. They usually have them right near the big stuff.
with the christmas stuff there is 2 sections. garden center after summer gets the Christmas trees and decorations and then the Halloween section in the front of the store gets chistmas stuff the day after Halloween...
I live in Texas and have a farm. We have 2 full size fridges with built in freezers and then a 15 cubic foot deep freezer. I also have a root cellar. But that is full from what I grow. Read the labels and you would be shocked at the chemicals in store bought foods.
Walmart Employee Here
The departments and selection depends on the size of the store. It looks like theyre in a SuperCenter which is a larger store. Smaller stores dont have things like deli, auto care center, gun counter, etc.
FYI - Christmas items at Wal-Mart go on sale in most of the USA starting in late August.
Tax is added at the bottom of the receipt …after everything is tallied up…the state tax is added …giving you your total…and here we have coupons…maybe a dollar off or fifty cents…and as many coupons as you want…those coupon totals get deducted…and usually the coupons start getting deducted at the end…
Food has definitely become more expensive here in the U.S. as of recently. However, he was picking up rather large packages of items and most of them come in smaller sizes (meaning cheaper prices). There are plenty of items that can be bought at a "reasonable" rate. Also, every Walmart that I've ever been in has a gun section but, I've seen comments from other people saying that they simply don't have that section in their local Walmart. A gun section is definitely more common than not.
I live near Chicago and none of the Walmarts in the Chicagoland area have gun sections.
Agreed. Example, the pizzas he showed were the high priced brands, not the cheaper brands (like Tombstone).
