Tucker Carlson Goes Grocery Shopping In Russia

- In his trip to Russia, Tucker Carlson decided to go grocery shopping in Moscow. After comparing the grocery bill for a typical family, he was shocked to discover that the bill in Moscow was $104 compared to the United States, with a bill of $400
This genuinely feels like the first time Tucker Carlson has done groceries himself, ever.
He was a silver spoon baby. Born a billionaire. He has never grocery shopped for himself, done a single load of laundry, and even grew up with a chauffer. The same reason Donald trump thought you had to show your ID to buy groceries. they all grew up wealthy and had servants that did these things for them.
@@baddayguygaming ok and ??
Does he even understand the concept of fiat exchange rate?
@@drgta6yes he’s very smart even though some of the stuff he does I don’t agree with I still find him intelligent

@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf you live almost certainly live in a country that has a lower median income than our poorest, least educated state. I can say that with near certainty because only a couple small countries are not poorer.
I recently visited Burundi and found out a loaf of bread there costs only 40 eurocents, truly a radicalising experience.
hehe nice, a donut in mexico might cost you 60 to 80 cents depending on where you buy it, the difference is the average Mexican is like 15x richer as the average Burundian, but because propaganda tucker would still praise Burundi over Mexico
what is radicalizing about it? their average salary is around 60$ a month. They dont have the same purchasing power as you

Tucker looks like he is grocery shopping for the first time in 40 years
Really? How so? How might you 'look' if you were going thru a foreign grocery for the first time....strolling about as if you owned the place? Um, no. Takes a little getting used to, I did the same with German grocery stores while I was stationed there during my military service decades ago. You just don't go strutting around like you are 'back on the block' in the US.
Trump = Biden = Putin = Stalin. Vote Haley or Kennedy Jr.!
The coin is a staple of grocery shopping here in NJ where I live--Tucker is from around here to him not knowing of the coin is pretty ignorant of current grocery shopping. Also his direct comparison to shopping at whole foods in New York prices versus russian grocery store shopping is also ignorant, obviously the place with the highest average income will charge more for food compared to a place with a 10k yearly income. Average in NY is around 70-80k, groceries are only around twice as expensive at cheaper stores than whole foods for the amount he got. Meaning americans making New York wages relatively speaking pay far less of their paycheck on food.

"I don't know how if this is flour or sugar, it's surely a staple" 😂 homie is about to bake a cake. He's also freaking out over bread, which is hilarious.
@@capotegabriel haley? really are you dumb or act dumb
all she has done in her career is contradict herself.
Coin-locked shopping carts have been the norm here in Portugal since the 1980's so I'm guessing it's the same all over Europe. Same goes for the flat escalators.
We just got rid of them here in Canada save for a few shops. Which is why everyone steals carts - they are nickel plated in most cases and are worth about 750 dollars each.
Both apply for Greece
Aldi uses them in the US
The US producers of shopping carts don't want them returned, that way they can sell more. It's how the US systems works. Keep making stuff, keep people employed and keep profits flowing into management who then spend a part of their profit to lobby the US government to keep the status quo.
they're not uncommon in Canada either
This is how you know he's out of touch with the real world, quarters in shopping carts has been used for 30s years in the US.
If your idea of high-income is "not in the ghetto" then sure
Not where I am. I think one store had them years ago. I stopped shopping there. It's gone. I can bring my cart back without the annoyance of using a quarter.
They are not common and def not in higher end stores.
@@HankGrill Most people know they exist, that's the point. Also he obviously doesn't know that store-prices are based on the income of people in that area. He's in a rich person's bubble.
Lol I am 32 years old and I remember going to Aldi's with mom when I was a kid and they had those coin carts.
This is pretty disingenuous considering the average wage in Russia is under $1,200 USD a month.
Tucker: You get the coin back when you return the trolley, amazing!

Like that, now we know the USA is a third world country for sure!

Man goes grocery shopping for the first time
Pretty much

Definitely. Never toss cookies in the cart.
"I can't tell if this is sugar or flour!"
It's embarrassing. He is acting like basic features of supermarkets all over the world are special and unique to Russia. I bet he has never had to do his own grocery shopping for a long time and it really exposes how out of touch he really is.
To all those people saying that Russians salaries are low, and those prices aren't affordable to average Russians... Well guess what, average Russians don't live next to the Kremlin, where Tucker is doing this coverage.. Central Moscow is literally the most expensive area for grocery shopping... It is comparable to Manhattan. You go to any other region in Russia and prices are one third of that, if not even less.
Don’t try to talk sense to Americans, their brains don’t allow that
Moscow is basically golden city of russia. The rest of the area around moscow is landfils and warzones. Ask any local outside moscow how civilians feel about moscow
Yep, and wages are 1/10th

It amazes me how the standard of living in every developed country is considered to be new to the United States. What are they bragging about then?
Putin once said that the United States does not need partners, it needs vassals. That's the whole answer. Sanctions on Russia are a reason to remove a competitor from the world market.
What mr. Tucker dont understand is not about goods in store it is always about what you can afford.

Tucker looks like he eats a lot of sausage.
There’s no context here comparing average salaries in USA to Russia. Average monthly salary in Russia about $800 while average weekly earning in USA is about $1250. Of course it’s going to be cheaper there.
50％ higher in US for 400％ of the grocery cost? wow
$800 это в Москве, в регионах средняя около $400-450. Насчёт различия цен ничё не могу сказать, разве что такси в регионах может быть дешевле. Так что да, сравнение немного странное

The fact he is mega impressed by the trolley return system is farking hilarious
Swanson dynasty heir didn't need to go grocery shopping himself
Instead of making fun of people, how about you go in the bathroom and look yourself in the mirror?
I have been to plenty of supermarkets in the US that require coins in the shopping cart. It's just an incentive to return it and not leave it in the middle of the parking lot
Tucker has never done his own shopping so he has no idea
Tucker hasn't been inside a grocery store since 1983
The German one do, what a coincidence!
Agreed it’s about not leaving the carts in the parking lot. It does nothing for homelessness as he implies.
Not in Northern California! Never seen that coin-operated cart, and I have been all over the Western US.
The point to the video is that access to goods is just as available in Russia as it is in the West. We are being told that Russia is being crippled internally. Clearly it isn't. This isn't about Putin or his politics, its about the story we are being fed about the effectiveness of sanctions, etc. The story we are being told in that regard is 'shudder'...not true. Lets go for peace and focus on making life better for all mankind through co-operation and shared human innovation.

The idea of putting a coin into shopping cart isn't so that you wouldn't steal it. Clearly a shopping cart is worth more than some €0.50 for example. The point of this system is that you will return the cart to its place to get your coin back, rather than just leaving it on the parking lot like some a**holes do. This system should be global IMO.
I mean whose gonna care about a quarter? 😂
They do that at some places in america
they do this at Aldi
Most grocery stores in Canada do this
its just so you can always take it because everyone has coins usually
I think this is the first time Tucker Carlson has ever been to any grocery store ever
LoL right?
Strong impression this is first time ever he bought a bag of sugar.
Sugar and flour are usually in the same type of bag. I've gotten confused before too. Especially if it's in Russian
Don't go to grocery store = Bad man, very bad man

Lol seems like you have never smelled a loaf of bread. The plastic has a lot of little holes and the smell goes freely
Sorta like Dae-su in Oldboy after leaving his prison cell after 15 years
I spend ** $60-80 ** for the WHOLE MONTH on groceries. That even includes this month, when I bought several meals for my friend who was staying with me for a few days. I can go down to the canteen and spend $1.08-1.56 for a meal during the times we are served. Houston, TX is 5 times more expensive that my city in India. $400 is more than my entire monthly expenses.
Americans amazed that people in other countries have grocery stores, cars, electricity...
No, you're gaslighting. He was amazed that the carts had a locking mechanism. Which most stores (depending on the country), don't have.
Anything not American is aliens to them.
I'm amazed because we grew up hearing how socialist only would have one brand of cereal or clothing type and everyone ate or wore the same.. they never tell us that they aren't still using the brick phones in Russia- to use a metaphor.. 😂
It’s because our media is controlled by the government and they push that propaganda to the American tax payer to try and squeeze a couple extra dimes out of our ass
Foreigners only have the brain capacity to judge Americans off of a handful of TH-cam videos.
Tucker Carlson is not an average American 😂 if you knew his backstory, he grew up in an already wealthy family and is incredibly wealthy now. I’m American I found this video funny because he exposed himself for never buying his own groceries, you can just tell from the way he’s acting. We have at least one big supermarket that you have to insert a coin to get a shopping cart from. It’s obvious that he’s doesn’t know that exists in the US
Hey Tucker, why dont you tell us how much Russians make in a year, and tell us how much that $100 dollar is "nothing" to the people...
The average is about 15k USD salary.
15k usd per month in RU? .. Did u take ur pills? @@redux467
@@22cine this is supermarket in Moscow. Moscow's salary are higher. So, it's around 111 000 RUB. And Tacker spend ~10 000, buying food for a week. And he was in the groccery store in downtown, in a relatively expensive mall.
In general cost of living in Russia/avarage salary is probably a bit better in Russia then in the US. The biggest difference is that in the US the gap between most rich and most poor people is HUGE.
Funny you guys mentioned that 100 usd is pretty expensive for most countries out there. You underestimate the purchasing power of every country out there. In the Philippines for example, our weekly grocery ranges from around 7-10k pesos. That's literally almost 200 usd. You guys have a very pathetic view of the world.

The bill was $104, but the wages are $308 per week. Same same. Once you compare.

Tucker hasnt been grocery shopping in so long he thinks the coin locks on the grocert carts are a russian thing lol 😂. Its the same at aldis here in america.

Like in that airport terminal movie with tom hanks 😂
"According to data from the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia, in 2020, Russians spent about 30% of their household income on food."
And Aldi has been doing that forever in it's native Germany - as does virtually every German supermarket for decades...
Same in the UK, but the coin slot takes £1 ($1.27).
i feel dumber after watching this
The cost of products means nothing without telling us what the average income is. Then you can compare apples with apples, pun intended.
Correct
The point of the video was to show how much the so called sanctions have affected Russia because the controlled media lead people to believe the Russians were starving... Don't believe anything you see on TV...
Tucker Carlson is anything but honest.
Average Russian has to work for a week to earn enough rubles for Tucker's shopping spree in Moscow
the median weekly Russian salary is $1,330 USD per week or $1,794 Canadian Dollars. They spend 7.8% of their weekly earnings on groceries which is significantly lower than what the median US or Canadian (especially Canadian) citizen spends on groceries per week.
And if someone robs the place they'll be arrested and thrown in jail. Outrageous!
Go live in Russia.
If someone speaks out against Putin they'll be thrown in jail or fall out of a window.
Nobody would rob the place. Not openly like its happening in America. The "minorities" are encouraged to rob . Under 900$ no one would arrest them
Or if someone speaks out against the dictatorship or is homosexual

Why do all foreigners that shoot videos of groceries go to Ashan?
Its really the worst large scale store in Russia, in my opinion. Lenta, Perekrestok, Globus and Pyaterochka have outdone them by a mile. At least in MSK.
P.S.
Omg. This is a proper Reddit thread below.
I am glad that people have shared their opinion on this matter.
I just wanted to point out, that going to “Aushan”, a French chain is not going to give you the best experience. Simply because I dont see a lot of “visitors with TH-cam channels” check other chains.
If you are the foreigner, visiting or moving, always talk to locals about special deals and membership cards!!! Because here, you can save on average about 30% of your grocery spendings
I believe there are areas in Russia where Ashan is just better than the others. I live in a district where there are a lot of options, but obviously, I depends where do you live.
I just find other chains having better lighting, friendlier staff, better design etc.

I guess Tucker has never been to Aldi? Lmao.
Can’t believe you have never seen a escalator that trolleys lock into or a trolley that takes coins…..
I am never see for example...probably because this is have limited level of use..
We have had those things for decades in Australia
I travelled all over the Asia, and those escalators can be found in most of the countries here.
I guess it was because U.S generally designed their supermarket on first floor of the building, while everywhere else have multi floor supermarket instead. It makes the supermarket smaller but without the escalator, it would be hard to move from one floor to another with loads of goods.
I've never seen one in the USA cuz I've never been to grocery store on level 2...lol.

As an eastern European who visits both the US and Russia (New York and Boston, and Moscow) I can pretty positively say that differences aside, pretty much anything you can think of in New York, you can get in Moscow. It is a myth that Russia is poor, as is a myth that people are starving. In fact, seeing homeless and poor people in Moscow is much rarer than in New York.
In all countries the capitals are rich. The problem is that in Russia, outside of Moscow, there are entire villages without toilets at home.

There are also german supermarkets like Globus in Russia and many western companies are producing in Russia. This is why confiscating Russian foreign assets is such a stupid idea. It would be easy to seize all of these Russian subsidiaries of these companies. Of course, this also affects large US companies like Boeing, so it's not just the Europeans who would lose out. Virtually anyone in the West who does business with Russia in any way would lose. But hey, the sanctions have worked so well, stealing Russian money will definitely work just as well.

He's becoming really comfortable and friendly with Russia, they got him too
Wow, did Carlson just say he could live with 'evil' leadership, as long as his groceries were cheap?
In fact, all these products can be purchased even cheaper. Auchan is not a cheap store. There are at least two store chains operating in Russia that own not only a well-developed retail network throughout the territory of the Russian Federation, but also their own food production. At the same time, the quality of the products is the same. Therefore, the conclusions that every family has to spend $ 100 for one trip to the store are greatly exaggerated. And by the way, prices for food in Moscow are higher than in the rest of Russia.
"Светофор" что ли?💀💀💀💀
Supply and demand, usually in areas of higher salaries you’re going to get higher prices.
Like housing, apartments in huge cities cost significantly more than maybe an apartment in an inconvenient or lesser developed area.
(Also the fact that Russia is a developing country- especially if we’re counting non major cities- definitely explains the lower prices, just like any other developing country).

Sadly, you have to remember that average salary in Russia today is about 500-1000$ a month. And if you make more than 12k a year - you are considered middle class and ABOVE average. Now go back to those prices when you have this information.
Yes, but those 500$ is what one person earns per month, for a family it would be at least twice as much. Then spending 100$ on groceries for a week is about 10% of the monthly budget, right? That's not unmanageable

@@Lena-xz8bb sorry, can't see what you mean, does it change something?
Let a rich snob out-of-touch person go do regular grocery shopping and tell us how affordable/cheap it is. This guy should just stay in Russia like Snowden.
Here are my calculations for life in Russia. I live in Chelyabinsk, it's in the Urals. Products for a month are about 15000 rubles (163$). At the same time, I buy a lot of protein, fish, meat and vegetables, because I need good food for the thought process. I do not rent (I have my own apartment), so I only pay utilities 3000 r (32$) per month average annual. This is by the way the reason why Russians can afford a lot. Statistic in internet show that more than 70% of russians has their own apartments. Apartments of grandparents are for sale and a mortgage is taken, for example, for 5 years. Plus, the maternity capital is enough for the first payment. The car is powered by natural gas 3000 (32$) r per month (23 cents per liter of natural gas for auto. Heating on gasoline 50 cents per liter). Car insurance 6000 r (64$) per year (I have 15 years of accident-free experience). My main expenses are trips to restaurants and snacks outside the house. If I rented an apartment, it would cost 15000 to 25000 (163-270$) for 30-40m2 per month plus utility. The average salary in Chelyabinsk is 60,000 (652$) (this is data from government statistics for Chelyabinsk area, I think it roughly corresponds to the truth, because all enterprises are guided by them).
But I get a lot more as a businessman.
If you think I'm wrong about something, write to me, I'll explain everything..
Upd: Some Russians have another opinion on cost of living and average salaries. Well, Chelyabinsk is pretty cheap place to live. I think Chel. its like Pittsburgh PA, a former steel city with low expenses. (I also lived and worked there and in NYC in 07-09). Av. salaries I get on official web site Rosstat. Expenses are taken from my personal experience per one person. I can make a mistake in the calculations of 10-20%. I also want to add that I need small amount of money because I have a car and real estate owner without loans. Those who have loans, childrens and rent apt. need completely different money. It is wiser to pay off debts, buy real estate and only then have children.

The bakery stuff is an interesting thing with history. You see, retailers used to buy all the bakery products from large-scale bakeries. Baked, packed and delivered into the shops. But a few years ago, retailers began to squeeze the balls of those bakeries on returns, payments and stuff. Because if people see that a product is from yesterday, they leave it on a shelf. Retailer wanted to return it to the bakery without payment. That caused a huge conflict, with the regulator taking the side of bakeries. So, retailers found a solution - now even the smallest network minimarket is having their own bakery where they make the product, so there're no left-overs. And that modernization happened really fast.
These aren't real bakeries, they just put frozen dough made somewhere else into an oven. Ok, still real bakeries in some sense, but f‘n industrialized.
@@HrSamstag yes, the term "oven" is closer to the truth. The product itself is factory made, indeed.

This is an Auchan grocery store. Auchan (French pronunciation: [oʃɑ̃]) is a French multinational retail group headquartered in Croix, France. It was founded in 1961 by Gérard Mulliez and is owned by the Mulliez family, who has 95% stake in the company. What sanctions are in place on Russia when a large European company continues to operate stores. The first AUCHAN hypermarket in Russia was opened on August 28, 2002 in the city of Mytishchi, Moscow region. After that, five more stores opened their doors to customers in Moscow: AUCHAN Kommunarka, AUCHAN Marfino, AUCHAN Krasnogorsk, AUCHAN Khimki, AUCHAN Maryino, and over 200 stores in all of Russia. This is the Russian grocery store Tucker Carlson visited. I don't understand why no one mentions this very important fact!

Im not going to starve my children or make them eat garbage that will compromise their health but to eat simply and healthy, meaning chicken, vegetables etc - comes out to a hefty fee no matter where we shop.
In Russia I'am buying part of the food online where are discounts and visit 3-4 shops searching for sale. In each shop are different discounts that are changing from time to time, so you should constantly monitoring the prices to catch the best price. Sort of quest to get all needed food. On the other hand in St. Petersburg (where I live ) you can buy in shops whatever you want and during 24 hours a day. The question is only in your budget capability 😅.

This is a very large scale big city story - Moscow. I shopped in Far East Vladivostok. It was much the same, a supermarket but things in Russian, but there was much more fresh food - or maybe Americans dont know how to look for fresh food. There was a huge long counter with assistants, with salads galore, various cheeses, where I found Adygea cheese which is 90% like Welsh Caerphilly, heaps of fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, which you weigh, tap in the code, and the price tab is spat out for you to stic on the bag. The prices were phenomenal. i dont know what breed of chicken Russians of the Far East breed, but they must be half turkey. The breast alone was huge, and compared to what I was paying in Ecuador, said to be a cheap country, they were half. Most of what I bought was either equal to Ecuador, or cheaper. They also had a long line of taps, with empty bottles, which I discovered were different beers you just pull into the bottle for yourself. Crimean wine was available, but also imported Australian wine at less than half you would pay in Aus. this was 6 yrs ago. My conclusion was that you can get lots and lots of good, fresh, lovely tasting food for about half what you pay anywhere else. Oh, you cannot buy canned soup;. Making soup is such a part of Russian cuisine and tradition that, as a Russian lady with me siad "to offer someone canned soup would be an insult".
