Venezuela's Luxury Market For The Rich 🇻🇪

- In Margarita exist the biggest supermarket I've seen in Venezuela and with the most imported products. 4-6 years ago Venezuela faced its biggest food crisis and over 5 million fled the country. Nowadays you can find any food product and also some imported goods but it will cost you a lot of money. The current minimum wage is at about $30 USD a month which is about a 300% increase from when I arrived in the country a few months ago. Basically only a select few can afford to shop here except for when it come to alcohol which is extremely cheap in the Venezuelan island which has no tax on alcohol.

Spend on food, save on booze 🥃 🤣love your videos. That looks like a great store.
Just found your channel a few days ago. I’m finding your videos very informative as I’m soon to start my backpacking lifestyle in the Latin American countries. It Just seems to fit my lifestyle better than the US. Damn your videos are making me hungry and thirsty for beers and booze. Maybe I catch you out there. Thanks brother 🍺🍺🥃🥃👍🎸
Great and very interesting video!!
Great video. Thankyou!
GREAT VIDEO...YOU JUST GOT ANOTHER SUB💯
Interesting and informative 💎
Wow, I didn't know Venezuela switched to the USD. Thanks for this info. I hope their economy is more stable.
Crazy price for the Santa Teresa 1796 bottle. Bought a 1 litre bottle of it for around 50 dollars here in Europe.
Los, you are doing a nice service for the beautiful Venezuela because of you I know where to go and where to buy. I see you having a great time enjoy. Remember your health. How are gyms over there do you work out ? Make a gym vlog that be nice so I know what gym to visit. Also we don’t know a lot about Alejandra what’s up with here family and neighborhood is it safe? Why don’t you make a vid with her fam. Anyways just a thought. Thanks for all you do. God bless. Thanks
Always waiting for volpe vlog...biryani king 🤴
That was interesting when you were looking at Johnny Walker Whisky I live in central Scotland about 5 minutes from one of their bottling plants and my ex next door neighbour works at the plant as an engineer. I am really enjoying your content keep it coming. Thanks.
Volpe Lets Goooooo
It's hilarious how he studied your grocery store receipt... like he was actually matching up what you had in the bags HAHAHHAA
I mean, Costco does the same
Maybe hood costcos
That foreign language was Turkish. Apparently lot of products made in Turkey in that store
Despues de que el gobierno venezolano no le dio mas a las empresas nacionales dolares para produccir y las destruyo, ahora traen productor de baja calidad de turkia. Prefieren pagan barcos impuestos etc.. a darle los dolares a las empresas venezolanas para producir en el pais
si son baratos. muchas galletas son muy ricas
Alejandre looking really good in this video
Great Store!👌
I miss that beautiful country so much!
Iv been dreaming about going there my whole life
Very nice store.
Gracias amigo por ir a Venezuela saludos de un venezolano en pensilvania estoy loco por volver a Venezuela
Great video
Crazy seeing Modelo in Venezuela, the factory where they come from is only 30 minutes from my house here in Mexico, Nava, Coahuila
I love Venezuela I've been 8 times
Great video.
That's my kind of supermarket, I would buy way more than I need but oh well. It definitely has a Wegmans/Whole foods essence to it. I'm enjoying Alejandra coming out of her shell little by little. She's looking adorable with the hat. Bro, without you I wouldn't have known anything about Venezuela and the differences among it's states. The Island of Margarita seems like a fun place to live and party.
Adorable? You sound like a 12 year gold girl.
That's what makes Alejandra attractive, an onion that you peel layer by layer
@@marrokraff998 Very true.
@@romeyrome32 btw I like her without the hat but love her skin complexion
@@marrokraff998 Alejandra is a pretty one with or without the hat but I was digging the whole look.
Great video
Good strategy to replace with dollars.
Gigantesque 😉
Such a cool store. And it’s huge too
Pana q chulada andar allá tengo más de 20 años q no voy buena onda onda pana saludos desde califas
Inmensa esa tienda de comida.Enjoeeee.....
Wow
Alejandras need to pick her vibe up I guess not everyone can be like Nora
Stop calling people out.
Ohhh the pastries in South America are the best..❤️
I love ur videos I can’t believe they use dollars there!!!! When did that happen??
Carlitos your food estimates in dollar are off by $3-$4 inflation hit everything hard here.
Referring to the USA.
Harina de Pan is like $3 in south dakota but they only stock like 20 units per week so its a race to stock up...🤣
Tremendo super mercado
Your better off down there for the time being. The US is bad, prices are outrageous and no one gets along.
As if some shithole like Venezuela is better than the USA... Man gtfoh and go join him then.
agreed
he most certainly is not better off in Venezuela. lived there for a year
@@TheUltimateBrit Yea but he was born there and has enough money to live well enough clearly.
@@xcalibertrekker6693 ahh had no idea, I lived there for a year as a Brit and it completely drained my wallet!
Bro you really convincing me to cme over there ...just want to know which city would you recommend to start with
Love your videos demasiada hermosa Venezuela un milagros de naturaleza increible marvilosa ❤❤❤ Venezuela mi paraiso ❤❤❤ te extrano mucho
lastima que esto es solo propaganda pura y dura
Great market! Just like the USA or Canada or Mexico! Isn't it wonderful that the rich Venezuelans have a place to shop! Where do the other 99% of the Venezuelans shop, who do not have dollars? Ask Maburo!!
thats a good question
Yeah. I wonder that as well. We keep hearing in the states how broke the average Venezuelan is.
The prices are the same as the U.S., if not more. Crazy. That size A1 steak sauce bottle is $0.99 here in the states
cool
Where is Nora?
Still in shock at the cost of the detergent
Alejandra is a sweetie, keep her on!
She is Fire!
i would love to retire there one day
SALUDOS BRO.
ese mismo super mercado rio va a abrir una sede en Caracas en Noviembre en el centro comercial Sambil la candelaria
In!
A bottle of McCallen “Single Malt” in Jersey is about $70.00 sales tax included. I found the same “double cask” 750 ml at $122.00 in Valencia, but it seems that this store has it at $94.00
Muy bella y divina Alejandra.
Keep in mind the average salary in Venezuela is $20 a month. Don’t forget about gas which is very expensive. So your $70 grocery’s would take about 3 months of someone’s salary.
Ese no es el salario promedio, es mucho más.
100% true...these are prices that 80% of the population cannot afford
@@coporo ha si... el salario sin contara los bonos que no son retroactivos para la pensión y tomando en cuenta que casi el 82% de la gente trabaja y gana dinero en negro... dime miito cuanto es el salario según tu ? te recuerdo que los pensionados por ley gana el mínimo..a ver con respuesta sales
Yo no sabía visto un supermercado tan grande sólo Costco
It's like a reverse Jungle Jim's if you've ever been there.
very nice, at least they are not starving as a few years ago or are those that have no dollars still do?
It was the same way when I lived in Argentina. The American foods were 3 x the cost as they would be in America due to export costs.
*import
@@12345Yeah Yes. Import taxes.
“What do you think Alejandra?”
“😑”
🤣🤣🤣
I think she a good female and smart. those hard girls to find now bro.
Super nice grocery store 👌
Better than Vons haha 😄
Aye easy there I’m a vons rewards member 😂
LOL the supermarket of the super rich is just a normal supermarket! Thank you, Maduro.
That was one of the recalled JIF..haa number 425 in the middle of the number under bar cade.
Venezolanos, vuelvan, Venezuela brilla y si vuelven brillará mucho más.
👍
She's gorgeous, she have social media?
blue label is about 150 here in my country.
Hey my guy. I've commented in the past on your videos. One thing i started to think about, is the travel to Venezuela. Did you buy a ticket to go directly there? Or do yo have to land somewhere else and buy a ticket there?
Depends where you coming From
I think if you have a British passport you don't have to require a visa upfront they stamp you in for 180 day on a tourist visa. But American passports I don't know what is required
/you can't get Jiff now in the US they had a recall three months ago and still none are stocked
Come on Alejandra!
We need nora. Pleaseeeee
Dunkin coffee is currently 18.99 at Walmart. Over 20.00 everywhere else
it is certainly a place for rich people...prices in venezuela are 13% more expensive than in the us
Awe she's cute ... Feeling shy
30$ for detergent ! Wow that’s crazy expensive
The language of the Nesquick package is Turkish, interesting that they would import that of all things
Antes no habia nada de productos importados en venezuela todo era producido nacionalmente. Perooo el gobierno prefirio no darle los dolares a las empresas nacionales y prefiere importar a turkia y esos paises que tienen convenio con venezuela.
@@caminandoporbaires.ar.38 eso es en todo el mundo y en todos los paises
@@caminandoporbaires.ar.38 el mundo se ha globalizado hasta este nivel ya. Nada nuevo ni es solo Venezuela. Crecí visitando la zona industrial de Valencia, bqto y Maracay etc enormes todas con todos tipos de industrias hoy día todo eso es mayormente una ciudad fantasma. La globalización y la competencia y los bajos precios en productos importados procedentes de China ,Turquía, y países del sureste asiático han hecho que fábricas locales en países como Venezuela o Estados Unidos ya no sean tan rentables.
@@caminandoporbaires.ar.38 querrás decir que lego la dictadura expropiando todo y estupendo todo a su paso ..eso de HECHOS EN VENEZUELA se fu a la mierda..ahora se importa todo de países claramente dictatoriales y otros donde los mueve le dinero de la corrupción
CARLOS COMO ESTAS CUENTAME DONDE ESTAS EN VENEZUELA O MIAMI AHORA 30 DE JULIO?
Better than most markets in North America
This is a perfect example of what kind of economy socialism results in. The poor get locked into poverty as they're dependent on the government. While the wealthy enjoy special privileges the poor will NEVER get to access to no matter how hard they work, plan, save, invest, etc.
And there is an entire population of people in the US that voted for it. (Socialism)
I will never understand this. The indoctrination was effective and they paid for it with student loans. LOL
That is a oppressive communist Capitalist Venezuelan economy it has nothing to do with socialism you dimwit.
@@riley5329 Sounds like India as well.
What are you? Poor???
Isn't that what is happening in the United States of America right now!?!! Or wait I forget the color of ones skin sealed the deal here
Cool video! Can’t help but see the irony of a government who disdains the US and is now totally Dependent on the American dollar. Same in Cuba, what useless governments. Best of luck!
🇻🇳Saigon street (Vietnam) thank you my friend for sharing good video. I really like your video. Have a nice day my friend. Greetings from Vietnam to you..👍💓💗
prices seem similar if not cheaper than here especially with chicago prices currently
Get me a 6 pack of Stella Artois beer shit is 🔥
You plan on coming back to the states?
Not the 4 lokos I haven’t had them since highschool lol
Bruh... that supermarket is nicer and more modern than the markets here in Hawaii??
blue label whisky is $294 here in the states...
Now I understand why my woman complains about food costs in Venezuela.
It must be that he doesn't know that in Venezuela you earn between $90 and $120 per month... try to make some purchases with $12 and last the whole month... that way you find out why he complains
Thank you for making this video in English..
People in the world need to know the reality in Venezuela...
The real truth behind all this...
Thank you.
Can you please go to the barrios reality as well?
Is these prices quoted in USD?
These American products are identical American products that "normal" not "rich" grocery stores would have, here in Mexico. I'm starting to think theres an American company who imports these American products down to Venezuela, black market style. Even Zucaritas are from Mexico, but an American company (Kellogs) produces them.
in venezuela the Kellogs was robbed by the dictatorship... a robbery in every sense of the word
I am confused.. If you pay in dollars at stores, how are people getting dollars? How are people getting dollars?
That's a very complex question to answer hahahahaha. It depends, each person has ways to get the dollars.
On one hand, there's a black market that brings dollars in cash from Venezuela's border with Colombia. Cash can also come from banks that sell in smaller fractions.
Supermarkets in Venezuela accept various forms of payment, including Zelle, Cryptos and even Paypal. Venezuela has a long history of commercial life with the United States, so it's normal for many Venezuelans and businesses to have bank accounts in the United States.
Pagas el equivalente en bolivars
I'll explain...due to the sanctions against officials of the dictatorship and the fact that they have been roaming the Venezuelan people for decades, it is impossible for them to continue laundering money in the same way they used to...now one of the ways to launder money is to do it run in the street... because the dictatorship doesn't give you a single dollar through the correct and legal channels.... that's why there are countless office buildings that are being built, but despite being finished for years, they remain empty... Nobody rents them... and these works are paid to contractors in dollars in cash... as well as many other services... in short, it's money, those dollars are the product of crime, corruption and robbery in Venezuela... not to mention drug trafficking gold, gasoline and food that is also paid in dollars in cash... all the money... all the dollars that are circulating in Venezuela are the proceeds of crime... the robbery of a nation by criminals to whom everything has been closed option to legitimize or wash r that money
I miss Sophie! Where is the Sophinator?
Is the dollars in USD?
