After watching this i realized Erewhon is just taking rich people for a ride with these ridiculous prices. I mean, $9 for a cheap ass tofu? Come on. What Erewhon fanatics are paying are not the food, but the freedom to not shop around regular people.
And here I was thinking that Kanye peppers were some exotic ingredient I'd never heard of. 🤣 You should have dipped the tenders in the tumeric dressing!
You know what's interesting about Erewhon... it's name is derived from a novel of the same name by Samuel Butler, a novel that depicts a fictional country that, upon first glance, appears to be a utopia, but definitely isn't. Butler got the name by spelling "nowhere" backwards (although transposing a letter), as if to say such a place isn't real. This novel was specifically depicted to satirize Victorian society regarding several matters. "For example, according to Erewhonian law, offenders are treated as if they were ill, whereas ill people are looked upon as criminals. Another feature of Erewhon is the absence of machines; this is due to the widely shared perception by the Erewhonians that machines are potentially dangerous." If Butler's Erewhon was deemed a society to satirize Victorian society, so too the Californian grocer Erewhon, frequented and partnered with by Californian royal families such as the Kardashians and Biebers, can be deemed its own "society" to satirize Californian society. That said, the joke here, at least for now, is on you, the plebian wagie who would entertain spending $22 on a Hailie Bieber smoothie, with the punchline being you thinking you can be a part of "them", the Californian royal families. As far as you're concerned, the grocery store Erewhon is just as much "nowhere" as the country described in Butler's novel. (I'm also aware that Justin Bieber is Canadian and the Kardashians are Armenian. If that was the fixation you made here, you drastically missed the point)
Well I think her point is the smoothie has a lot of ingredients so the price makes more sense and pesto is just basil olive oil (I think it has pine nuts and Parmesan?) I think all of it is ridiculous but I understand her point for sure and she keeps mentioning the price so I think she agrees haha
@@butterbelieveit3520if it has plenty of pine nuts and real italian parmesan I think 21 dollar isn’t that strange for a huge jar of pesto. I get that more than the obscure smoothy..
I live in Mali, a country where people starve to death because they can't even afford rice. It's amazing to think about how many lives could be saved for the price of one of these ridiculous overpriced fad smoothies. Eat the rich!
Pays $20 on an $18 product because of the bottle deposit. Jackie: I think it is a little deceiving. Girl, aren't you American?? The fact that you have to calculate taxes over the listed price for products (while in the rest of the world it is just included) is an internet meme.
are pine nuts that expensive in the US? In Germany I can get a decent pesto with pine nuts at a reasonable price, a cashew pesto would probably be more expensive😅
@@marymuffins7577 I guess it is different from country to country, but pine nuts are known to be expensive in general because they are difficult to harvest.
Don’t add salt, I’m on a renal diet due to kidney failure, trust me eating less salt definitely helps. If your ankles get swollen after walking around all day, reducing your salt intake will make that stop. Give it two weeks, you’ll taste and see the difference
Celebrities are selling you two thingss, their products and their lifestyle. Please don't feel depressed watching celebrities videos. Many of these celebrities/ influencers do not have all of the money that they present. You can make five smoothies with the money that you would spend at this extremely super priced grocery store. Please don't be deceived.
Thank you for doing this. I mean that sincerely because I could never, would ever. Just too pricey. My limit is Fresh Market or Whole Foods when I got money to burn 😂
Some of the prices are absolutely wild, but I was a lot more okay with the cost of certain items on this video than I thought I would be. Like, there are gourmet, delicious hot sauces that cost between 10 and 20 dollars. Premade salads and soups are close to that price in most grocery stores. Even the six dollar health shot was average, considering most I’ve seen are 4 dollars. But 20 dollars for almond butter? Absolutely fucking not.
9:21 Americans learning about Flaschenpfand :D paying deposit on products that can and should be recycled is so common in the EU, its shocking other large economies havent adapted this at large as well
Writing the “worth it” items here mostly so I can screen shot for later: - Cococcino coffee - Collard greens kale wrap - Tahini turmeric dressing - Masa tortilla chips
Girl didn’t even read the ingredients on the pesto, it’s full of nuts which are hella expensive and the reason most chefs swap traditional pine nuts for a cheaper nut like walnuts.
All this antiscience is hilarious. You cant eat collagen to expect it to absorb into your body. It doesnt go from your dihestive tract to your hair and skin. You just digest it and poop it out
I would never, but here’s how I will justify some things. Imagine you went to a restaurant. You order a pesto dish. How much would that cost you? Add a couple glasses of wine. Now how much? Going back to the pesto, how long and how many dishes can you make from it? Buy any cheap pasta of your choice. Have you wine. Now $21 doesn’t seem so bad. Chances are you’re not going to finish off the jar in one meal. Meanwhile at a restaurant you probably paid much more for 1 dish with pesto, and you didn’t get to take home the leftovers of the pesto jar.
The power of advertising- you can mark stuff in ridiculous pricing but as long as it’s in LA and you put description that says the product “promotes muscle growth”- (aka- it has protein in it! That’s it. Eat an egg instead) and people will BUY it/ into it. Absolutely preposterous
Maybe save the coffee to the end this time. It’s a lot of energy for early on a Saturday morning and for a sit- down chat video😂. Very interesting -I see Erewhon everywhere on TH-cam and it’s not something I have in my area. Good to know what the fuss is/isn’t about.
Yes, or losing their homes, loved ones, friends and their homelands. Give the money to the survivors and refugees desparate for a home and safety. Thank you for writing your incredibly empathetic comment.
TIL turmeric anything is expensive in America??? I'm in Asia and turmeric costs next to nothing really, fresh or dried or ground. It's a common ingredient when we deep fry chicken or fish so most households use turmeric daily all year round. It's also an ingredient in curries which some cultures consume daily. It's funny that Americans feel it's worth paying more just because it feels exotic lol
like they can grow their own but there will be a significant difference between a local grown and native grown and even if the seeds are the same the moment it touches soil and water the profile differs
It is probably the same with iPhones being the most common smartphone used by Americans, but in the rest of the world they are more of a luxuty-ish item.
@@guilhermesavoya2366 Oh I didn't know Iphones are considered cheap phones in America. I thought prices globally are roughly (give or take) within the same ranges? Like, almost everyone (unless they are economically underprivileged like unemployed etc) can afford the newest Iphones in the US? Without any payment plan I mean?
Advertising. People want everything they see the Kardashians and the rest of the celebrities hawking on tictoc. Most Californians are addicted to he idea of celebrity culture.
I’ve lived in SoCal all my life. Never heard of this place; would never go there. Rating by celebrities? Not impressed. It’s hard enough to afford groceries as it is, in this inflationary economy, that this video is an insult to average Americans. We shop for food at Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club & Costco. Thumbs down for the disrespect I feel from it, however Jackie is my favorite host on this channel.

Why is $21 for pesto too expensive, but a $22 smoothie isn't? 😅

I think all of it is ridiculous but I understand her point for sure and she keeps mentioning the price so I think she agrees haha
I would say the pesto costs more to make than the smoothie. I agree with you, nothing justifies their prices.
right...pine nuts are in pesto and are expensive
@@butterbelieveit3520if it has plenty of pine nuts and real italian parmesan I think 21 dollar isn’t that strange for a huge jar of pesto. I get that more than the obscure smoothy..
@@annangel1005agree! Real Parmesan cheese and pine nuts are expensive! So are quality real olive oil!
I guess Whole Foods is too affordable for celebrities.
How much is a rotisserie chicken?
Lol, not everything at Erewhon is stupid expensive, it’s just the outliers are eye popping.
Hey Everyone !
I looked this up the name of the store EREHWON spelled backward is NOWHERE
I live in Mali, a country where people starve to death because they can't even afford rice. It's amazing to think about how many lives could be saved for the price of one of these ridiculous overpriced fad smoothies. Eat the rich!
will u marry me
that's awful, sending love to Mali....we have poverty in the US too, this grocery store is ridiculous
I highly doubt you live in Mali…

i was thinking about how the kale wraps would probably be sooo good with the turmeric dressing!!

KEEP THE JACKIE VIDEOS COMING!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
i wish you guys tried their popular foods like the sushi sandwich or buffalo cauliflower, they’re actually surprisingly really good
Personally, I think this video would be a lot more interesting and useful if Jackie was shopping for foods/ingredients she actually uses and enjoys.
I have missed these videos with Jackie!!! So glad they are back and LOVE her reviews!
The pesto is expensive because it has pine nuts, and these are very expensive. They should make an alternative cheaper version with cashews.
are pine nuts that expensive in the US? In Germany I can get a decent pesto with pine nuts at a reasonable price, a cashew pesto would probably be more expensive😅
I was gonna say, the amount of basil leaves to make that jar, plus pine nuts… I’d say it’s a great price, especially as green and fresh it looks❤
A cheaper alternative is antitherical to erowhon business strategy. Only the most expensive for them
@@marymuffins7577 I guess it is different from country to country, but pine nuts are known to be expensive in general because they are difficult to harvest.
they can but it would be a different pesto altogether
The tortilla chips were such a plot twist. I'm curious... but not at that price. I have the money, it's the principle!
Don’t add salt, I’m on a renal diet due to kidney failure, trust me eating less salt definitely helps. If your ankles get swollen after walking around all day, reducing your salt intake will make that stop. Give it two weeks, you’ll taste and see the difference
Love ur reviews so much Jackie ❤❤❤
The bottle deposit thing is more of a thing for milk in other stores. I kinda like the option for more products 🤔
Bone broth is full of vitamins, minerals, and fat, with all the obvious health benefits associated with that. Also has high protein content.
The only Blue Magic i know was the grease my mom used on my hair as a kid 😂 not the most appetizing sounding ingredient
Jackie please do all Halloween treats next videos next love ❤ you ❤

I'll never understand people complaining about air in a chip bag. It's so the chips aren't crushed to dust. It's common sense.
Love how confidently she said Kanye instead of cayenne 😂 She had me wondering if I was pronouncing it wrong my whole life 😂
And also said ganola isn’t of granola.
Never consumed deer antlers? Haven't you ever had Jagermeister?

I’m here early. Wow! I can’t afford the regular people groceries so …no.

Royale jelly is in skincare and often in lip balms
You should dip the turmeric chicken tenders into the turmeric dressing.
Trying 25 items from Nowhere

she feels the hot-sauce is kinda Kanye, lil bit crazy. lol
I can't justify the price either for that pesto & i love pesto but hell no. 😂 I'm gonna need it in a bigger jar than that for the price 😂
Finna sell me a dime bag of them kale chips

I tried the chips. Good crunch but they tasted burnt. The peanut butter was good though.
Not sauce on a spoon 😂

Turmeric chicken tenders lol that’s definitely Malaysian street food Ayam Goreng Kunyit but nicer

Erehwon for health conscious rich people during the day. At night, they do drugs and drink like an sailor.
Idk how to explain it but she talks and acts exactly like Alex hall from selling sunset lol
Bone broth has a lot protein
I would never spend so much on food at a store or a smoothies we have so much going on in the world people don't have food to eat
