Let me know, which shops would you rather shop in. The hard discount store, or the local smaller shop in the same building from the start of the video. It's interesting how these new stores managed to open and gain momentum even in the same building as a food market.

I recommend going to Пуд supermarket (I think they are only in Crimea, but if you go, I recommend the city of Евпатория) if it's possible for you to do that in the future. Also, very informative and interesting video!
I would like the way it's set up there now where you can go to either place for food. How is it that the food there is so much cheaper than here in the U.S.? I thought you guys were crippled by all the sanctions???
Thanks Russell for all you show it’s very much appreciated. The prices here are incredibly cheap! The smaller shops are more specialist and my wife and I would be buying the meat products from them and then the supermarket for the basics. Can’t wait to get back again especially St. Petersburg. Thanks again from 🇵🇱
Bulan 12 ni supermarket Russia Svetofor akan dibuka di strand mall petaling jaya, Bazar Ipoh, Ipoh & satu lagi di Penang. Rasanya boleh turun dkt MRT Surian di sana. Jalan dalam 5 minit dari stesen MRT. Nnti tuan boleh review Svetofor di sana iya
I visit Chizik from time to time. Unbelieveable normal goods quality for sure. Meat and sausages of an A-category, nice maasdam cheese, phenomenally tasty ice creams. And also some chemicals for house. And it's always on the first floor and has free parking lot just nearby. Alex from Govorovo.
I like both. Can't believe the very cheap prices. We are getting ripped off in the U.S. Also I liked the joke about your 50 personal shoppers, very funny!
The small shops in "rynok" markets are not only more friendly, but you can also find some products there that you cannot find (for any reasonable price at least) in chain supermarkets. For example, you can buy fresh curd by weight, or smoked sausages made according to Italian recipes in small factories, or many other delicious items.
Russell its interesting to see what the shops in Russia are like, we’ve just been on holiday to Cyprus where there was a HUGE store in Paphos called Jumbo, it was like this Supermarket in that you had to walk all around the shop (3 floors) before you reached the exit. Your vlogs are interesting, I live in the UK 🛒☕️
@@geoDB. It’s certainly NOT a toy store, there’s a lot good household things, garden furniture, clothes, and yes toys that are not expensive, my daughter and I were n there almost 2 hours and bought some things we’ve never seen in the UK.
I love this market… but I had a terrible time with their Fish … but the ice cream cost 29 rublos and a bottle of water 14 rublos so with an half of one dollar you can enjoy your self !!!
@@TravellingwithRussell You are wrong!!! I tried the same package of frozen fish on my mother’s wife house and was so great.. but when I went to buy the same for my self it was a real stingy fish !!! But the products on this store are basic and good .. for example the 5 litres water for 46 rublos .. great for those summers days on Moscú!!any way ..I like your videos Russell and I hope you can show all the beauty of Russia!!! And it’s good because a lot of people thinks that with the sanctions everything’s colapse.. but that’s not truth..this country it’s a real great country for living.. of course it’s too cold for me but with a good jacket 🧥 it’s find !!
I think the cheapest in my area may be the "99 cent" store - but we rarely shop there as it has a very limited selection. I would have called this a "mini mall". It reminded me a lot of the "bodega" we shopped at in South America. It had a little bakery in it and, in the buildings surrounded it, you had the "meat vendor", the "drink vendor", a "dry cleaner", a seamstress with fabrics to sell, etc..
This is an unbelievably cheap Supermarket compared to the UK, Aldi and Lidl are the cheapest Supermarkets in the UK but I don’t live anywhere neither of those stores.
The conception of the store is quality for chip price. They collected high quality goods for low price. It's a new net of stores in Russia, and it becomes popular

The prices in the supermarket were great, but my husband and I would probably prefer to shop at the specialty markets. Very impressed Chizhik posted they have "NO GMO" products. Outstanding. Another great video. We like the way you handled the shopper who complained. Most people seem fine with filming; one man even waved.
Hy Russ. I buy my shaving foam in ALDI here in OZ, this is also made in England. You told us the bananas came from Ecuador, I wonder if the sugar comes from Cuba. Cheers from OZ mate.
Along with local production via beet farming. They also import some. Russia imports Raw Sugar primarily from: Brazil ($286M), Germany ($2.05M), Colombia ($1.63M), Azerbaijan ($1.09M), and Egypt ($970k)
There is a slightly cheaper store called a Svetofor. But there is a lot of low -quality products, although they come across quite good. But I prefer Chizhik, it’s cheap and also tasty.
that store with the pay by weight candy just made my eyes go open up to see if i recognize stuff from the store in Germany where i can get stuff from Russia and other nations, and i just saw a good bit of them , mainly my favorite ,well i was gonna try and type the name but i cant, its the one that is the second box from the wall and fourth from the floor, alot of other ones to that i have seen and tried.
Most expensive item in saw (except for the apparel and appliances) was a family size bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo for 699 rubles ($7.25). This cost $11.47 at Walmart. Tomatoes of 139 rubles ($1.44) sounds expensive, but that's per kilo which is 2.2 lbs., so the tomatoes are 65 1/2 cents per lb.
Everything is lower in Russia including salaries, pensions and prices. If your income is $20K/year the grocery prices aren't great.The Moscow & St. Petersburg areas are well off but most of Russia is poor and its getting worse. There's 9% inflation (we complain about 2.5% in US) and interest rates >17% (4.5% in US). The ruble exchange rate has gone from ~75 = $1 to ~95 = $1 so if a $1 item cost 75 rubles a year ago, now it costs 95 rubles.
Yes it’s pretty much like an Aldi. Truck to Shelf stocking to keep labor to minimum which in turn keeps price low. Not sure of overall ‘quality’ of the food. Usually items that are cheap priced are also cheap quality. But I’m sure you can find some things in there that won’t kill you over time due to it being crap. Now the one place that has smaller shops that are independent owned… yeah we have those too here in the USA. I know you’ve shown other videos with similar small owner shops under one large roof
Here in Brazil, we have (feira livre) street market that sells a lot of fruits and vegetables. They run from early morning till 2:00pm. People who shop there after 12:00pm are also called something like you said “beggar shop”. However, if you go there almost at closing time, you can still have great products for a bargain.😊
It's same with russian bakeries - but they close at 23.00 (it's the latest closing time I know) their last freshly baked time is at ≈18-20 time, and after 21.00-21.30 there is always a discount for all baked products. At fruit shops I sometimes got some fruits for free (like, the seller had to corner me lol) I got some strawberries that way, half was bad but half was good lol it was literally forced into my hands and I didn't pay anything so I don't complain lol
This is similar to Aldi or the like. I don't normally shop there as there's no specials(which are cheaper than the prices they have) and can normally get the stuff cheaper elsewhere (like fruit & veg or butchers ect..).
All those same Oreo biscuits and chocolate bars from western brands cost double or triple price in London. The real cost of manufacturing those bars must be pennies if they can sell them for a dollar and still make profit both for the retailer and the factory that makes them. LOL Just imagine what kind of mark-ups they are raking in places like London. Yes, you are right the store looks similar to Aldi, but prices in Aldi in London are much higher. In this store I can see everything is less than a dollar except meat which is just over a dollar. Such prices simply don't exist in London.
Average salary in London is £44K p/a which converts into RUB5.5m p/a and is RUB458K per month. Average salary in Moscow is RUB139K per month. What's your point, genius? As I already mentioned previously, since you hate London so much, why not to depart somewhere where you'll be much happier?
@@Tina-gm4uf он не говорит про зарплаты , он говорит про то , что один и тот же товар стоит в Лондоне в 3 раза дороже , а это значит , что производитель просто наживается на людях...
@NogiVrotov He doesn't talk about salaries, true, but he should. The purchase power in London is considerably higher but so are the costs, such as logistics, lease of the premises, labour, taxes, etc. All of them are factored into the pricing in London, it's not just the direct costs of producing the humble bisquit. I cannot verify if the quoted price of Oreo biscuits is correct as I don't buy/consume mass-produced confectionary. However, there are always the ways to buy these kinds of products cheaper in London, e.g. in Poundland (it no longer lives up to its name but the stuff is still considerably cheaper there than the average supermarket). Besides, Albion here frequently posts biased and untrue comments where it comes to London stores and food, hence I wanted to bring some perspective. PS. I'm not saying London is not expensive, by the way, because it is, eye-wateringly so! It's just that one has to compare like with like. I used to go almost weekly to France and would bring back, among other things, some wine. The identical bottle at the now closed Nicolas wine stores in London would be some £8 more. Some of it would be profit, sure, but the bulk was actually tax. That's why a lot of Brits in Kent used to drive across the channel to do their grocery shopping in France.
Where are all the people waiting in line for half a loaf of bread , ah sorry , I forgot that’s only on American propaganda films about Russia. Stay strong Russia, love from uk ,
I like Svetofor most of all. Visited it today and bought sour cream (fat 20 %) 0,4 kg × 6 pcs. Price: 22.5 roubles a piece. 2 packs of cookies - 1 kg for 115 and 116 roubles. Svetofor is the best. ❤ P.S. Chizhik sucks. 😂
Please Can You Show a Moscow Petrol Station 😀 Petrol, Diesel & L.P.G Prices Please 👍 I'm in England, SO I Know Moscow Prices Are a LOT Lower. I Want to Visit Moscow & Saint Petersburg Soon, BUT The HELL & Costs of Getting a Visa £300 ~ £400 I Think for 1 or 2 Visits 😲
I am not sure i can fully explain that in detail in a supermarket video. I need to leave that up to the economists. The best yard stick is to compare the price of bananas. It's long been a funny way to judge the price of food in Russia.
Actually Russians are very cultured. Unliked the common American, almost anyone has some knowledge of a foreign language. Even for people raised in the Soviet times, the curriculum in mandatory school contemplated a second language (one between English, French and German). Young Russian nowadays are completely fluent in language and very often their vocabulary is stronger than their American peers. So almost anyone knows perfectly the Latin alphabet.
I’ve never met a Russian who’d be fluent in English tbh. But they absolutely know how to use the Roman alphabet. They even used to type in Latin alphabet in the Russian language in the past; when they had older phones. It was very funny and absolutely every Russian did it. Besides, Latin is a mandatory subject in philology-related universities.
Привет, очень показательное видео, и объективное. Удивительно почему так много желающих выставить Россию какой то бедной отсталой страной, спасибо вам что вы показываете настоящую жизнь в России!
I sent you an email bro. I'm also looking for an apartment, I don't need to live too close to the city. I can live outside a bit. Do you still have an available apartment? Thank you bro
Светофор th-cam.com/video/FixVBjlvBXg/w-d-xo.html doesn't really have as nice of a selection compared to Chizhik. There is also a place called Маяк th-cam.com/video/m3sq6nk0fCI/w-d-xo.html
Our central heating in our apartment has been on already for 2 weeks. Nice and warm in the house already. No need to stock pile food. I have 7 supermarkets close by. th-cam.com/video/Tg4eFSGLsmU/w-d-xo.html
I prefer supermakets because they have bonus cards . You can get one bonus point for each bying sektion. Than bonus points are converting into a money. So basicly for month ending (or later) you can buy some food or something else for less money than usual. But usualy you can not buy alcohol or cigarets for points.

Специально ходил недавно в один из магазинов, чтобы посмотреть что это за Чижик. Некоторые продукты купил, попробовал, вообще никаких претензий к качеству или вкусу. Но вообще, любой магазин зависит непосредственно от директора, специально изучал эту тему, общался с директорами. Вполне возможно, что в вашем магазине директор просто очень старается заработать побольше.
Интересно, зачем в наше время все эти супермаркеты строят?! Сейчас ведь гораздо удобнее все через озон заказать, да и на дом все привезут. Жаль там только алкоголь не продают
@@spacetraveller9399 зависит от конкретного магазина, наверное, но лично мы часто заказываем фрукты, овощи, привозят свежие. Очень изредка бывает, что попадётся что-нибудь нехорошее, фотографируем, отправляем, магазин компенсирует.
В Москве на самом деле дороже, тут именно магазин такой. Я кстати Чижик впервые увидела в Уфе, когда там практику проходила, но т.к. учусь в Москве я по приезде сразу стала искать Чижик тут, и цены очень порадовали по сравнению с другими сетевыми магазинами.
@@TravellingwithRussell I live in Russia, in particular in Moscow. You can look at the vacancies of a sales clerk, a sales floor employee, a storekeeper. I went for interviews and everyone offered a job from 12h to 15h. 15 hours of work is given by DIKSI (Дикси), MAGNIT (Магнит), LENTA (Лента) and other retail stores, you have to come from 7-40 in the morning and work until 23-20, but they give 2 hours break, but there is practically no such break, because there are not enough workers and you constantly have to lay out goods, be at the checkout, take goods to the store. I worked in such conditions, and yes, I worked in Holland and the difference is noticeable, 8 hours of work versus 12-15. And because of such low wages, such cheap food prices. You may simply not have been aware of such working conditions. You can read articles on the Internet about working in Russia, ask Russian people about such working conditions, watch videos on youtube channel "Жизнь анонима", the last video (if you have translate from russia to en (working in yandex browser translate)) and others videos
ты когда поражаешся дешевизной, ты уточняй что у нас люди получают по 200-300 баксов в месяц. а то мне понравился этот ведущей из омерике который у вовки интервью не давно брал, такой в магазин пошёл взял продуктов на неделю на семью из трёх человек, вышло у него 10к и он такой оооо ничего себе как дешего. офигеть дешего при семейном бюджете штук 70 в месяц.
Это у вас на Украине получают 200 баксов, а у нас в России 1500-2000 ) 70тыс руб в месяц, причём на одного, а не на семью, это самый нижний уровень в России. Помощник продавца в Пятёрочке так получает. Для тех у кого нет образования, нет навыков, нет амбиций, зачастую не говорящего по-русски..
@@GeorgeDurua проснись мальчик. у нас з/п больше 200к у полтара процента населения, большая часть россиян живёт на 30-40к в месяц. самый низкий уровень тысяч 15. в пятерки как и во всех продуктовых магазинах штрафы мама не горюй от этих твоих 70к и останется 40к и откуда там зп 70к ты чего несешь, у админа ещё возможно, продавцы там по 30-40к получают, это еще без штрафов. вот ты сказочник.
@@ИванИванов-ш1ш1й очень хорошо, что в украинских школах всегда плохо преподавали русский язык. А сейчас и вообще запретили. По крайней мере, сразу вас видно.
This store really focuses on the supermarket side of things though. In Russia there are other places more like Dollar General, with more of a variety selection.
Ну а ты еще что-то выбери и ходи по нему. Хоть кладовки. Если контент будет полезен людям, как у него - тоже будешь популярен, и ворчать у него здесь перестанешь.

All those same Oreo biscuits and chocolate bars from western brands cost double or triple price in London. The real cost of manufacturing those bars must be pennies if they can sell them for a dollar and still make profit both for the retailer and the factory that makes them. LOL Just imagine what kind of mark-ups they are raking in places like London. Yes, you are right the store looks similar to Aldi, but prices in Aldi in London are much higher. In this store I can see everything is less than a dollar except meat which is just over a dollar. Such prices simply don't exist in London.
Average salary in London is £44K p/a which converts into RUB5.5m p/a and is RUB458K per month. Average salary in Moscow is RUB139K per month. What's your point, genius?
As I already mentioned previously, since you hate London so much, why not to depart somewhere where you'll be much happier?
@@Tina-gm4uf 139 rub per month?
@@Tina-gm4uf он не говорит про зарплаты , он говорит про то , что один и тот же товар стоит в Лондоне в 3 раза дороже , а это значит , что производитель просто наживается на людях...
@@mrishka5 139K per month = 139,000, at least according to statistics.
@NogiVrotov He doesn't talk about salaries, true, but he should. The purchase power in London is considerably higher but so are the costs, such as logistics, lease of the premises, labour, taxes, etc. All of them are factored into the pricing in London, it's not just the direct costs of producing the humble bisquit. I cannot verify if the quoted price of Oreo biscuits is correct as I don't buy/consume mass-produced confectionary. However, there are always the ways to buy these kinds of products cheaper in London, e.g. in Poundland (it no longer lives up to its name but the stuff is still considerably cheaper there than the average supermarket). Besides, Albion here frequently posts biased and untrue comments where it comes to London stores and food, hence I wanted to bring some perspective.
PS. I'm not saying London is not expensive, by the way, because it is, eye-wateringly so! It's just that one has to compare like with like. I used to go almost weekly to France and would bring back, among other things, some wine. The identical bottle at the now closed Nicolas wine stores in London would be some £8 more. Some of it would be profit, sure, but the bulk was actually tax. That's why a lot of Brits in Kent used to drive across the channel to do their grocery shopping in France.
Where are all the people waiting in line for half a loaf of bread , ah sorry , I forgot that’s only on American propaganda films about Russia.

I like Svetofor most of all. Visited it today and bought sour cream (fat 20 %) 0,4 kg × 6 pcs. Price: 22.5 roubles a piece. 2 packs of cookies - 1 kg for 115 and 116 roubles. Svetofor is the best. ❤

Please dollarify the prices as well as make comments on inflationary or diflationary trends please
I am not sure i can fully explain that in detail in a supermarket video. I need to leave that up to the economists. The best yard stick is to compare the price of bananas. It's long been a funny way to judge the price of food in Russia.
They are called Shopping Trolleys, not baskets (at the end of the video)
In Australia, I suppose. In the US they are called shopping carts.

Sooo interesting! Love watching this! How do people there manage reading the Roman alphabet packaging?
Actually Russians are very cultured. Unliked the common American, almost anyone has some knowledge of a foreign language. Even for people raised in the Soviet times, the curriculum in mandatory school contemplated a second language (one between English, French and German). Young Russian nowadays are completely fluent in language and very often their vocabulary is stronger than their American peers. So almost anyone knows perfectly the Latin alphabet.
в России 75% людей владеют английским языком на уровне А1
30 % на уровне А2
10 % на уровне В1 и выше.
@@АНДРЕЙ3500 в Англии английским владеет каждый дворник, но это мало о чем говорит
@@GeorgeHazan я рад за английских двориков !
I’ve never met a Russian who’d be fluent in English tbh. But they absolutely know how to use the Roman alphabet. They even used to type in Latin alphabet in the Russian language in the past; when they had older phones. It was very funny and absolutely every Russian did it.
Besides, Latin is a mandatory subject in philology-related universities.

what is your backup winter hearing and water plan this winter? are u stock pileing potatoes?
Our central heating in our apartment has been on already for 2 weeks. Nice and warm in the house already. No need to stock pile food. I have 7 supermarkets close by. th-cam.com/video/Tg4eFSGLsmU/w-d-xo.html
I prefer supermakets because they have bonus cards . You can get one bonus point for each bying sektion. Than bonus points are converting into a money. So basicly for month ending (or later) you can buy some food or something else for less money than usual. But usualy you can not buy alcohol or cigarets for points.

Если иностранцы нуждаются в таком "культурном шоке", значит так нужно. 🍯
Качество продуктов питания там не очень, если честно...
Там целых групп товаров нужно сторониться и читать состав. Мясное и часть молочки - точно не чижик.
Специально ходил недавно в один из магазинов, чтобы посмотреть что это за Чижик. Некоторые продукты купил, попробовал, вообще никаких претензий к качеству или вкусу. Но вообще, любой магазин зависит непосредственно от директора, специально изучал эту тему, общался с директорами. Вполне возможно, что в вашем магазине директор просто очень старается заработать побольше.
Интересно, зачем в наше время все эти супермаркеты строят?! Сейчас ведь гораздо удобнее все через озон заказать, да и на дом все привезут. Жаль там только алкоголь не продают

Свежее все равно самостоятельно надо выбирать, так зачем заказывать, если все равно в магазин идти?
@@spacetraveller9399 зависит от конкретного магазина, наверное, но лично мы часто заказываем фрукты, овощи, привозят свежие. Очень изредка бывает, что попадётся что-нибудь нехорошее, фотографируем, отправляем, магазин компенсирует.
никогда не пойму почему в мАскве цены на продукты дешевле чем по всей стране.
Логистика дешевле, объемы большие. Никакой магии
В Москве на самом деле дороже, тут именно магазин такой. Я кстати Чижик впервые увидела в Уфе, когда там практику проходила, но т.к. учусь в Москве я по приезде сразу стала искать Чижик тут, и цены очень порадовали по сравнению с другими сетевыми магазинами.
Don't forget: salary in Russia in this shop per hour 2.6€, 30€ in day, and people work 15 hours per day
Can you share the link to where you get this information from ? No one is working 15 hours per day in Russia.
@@TravellingwithRussell I live in Russia, in particular in Moscow. You can look at the vacancies of a sales clerk, a sales floor employee, a storekeeper. I went for interviews and everyone offered a job from 12h to 15h. 15 hours of work is given by DIKSI (Дикси), MAGNIT (Магнит), LENTA (Лента) and other retail stores, you have to come from 7-40 in the morning and work until 23-20, but they give 2 hours break, but there is practically no such break, because there are not enough workers and you constantly have to lay out goods, be at the checkout, take goods to the store. I worked in such conditions, and yes, I worked in Holland and the difference is noticeable, 8 hours of work versus 12-15. And because of such low wages, such cheap food prices. You may simply not have been aware of such working conditions. You can read articles on the Internet about working in Russia, ask Russian people about such working conditions, watch videos on youtube channel "Жизнь анонима", the last video (if you have translate from russia to en (working in yandex browser translate)) and others videos

ты когда поражаешся дешевизной, ты уточняй что у нас люди получают по 200-300 баксов в месяц. а то мне понравился этот ведущей из омерике который у вовки интервью не давно брал, такой в магазин пошёл взял продуктов на неделю на семью из трёх человек, вышло у него 10к и он такой оооо ничего себе как дешего. офигеть дешего при семейном бюджете штук 70 в месяц.
Этого почему-то не говорится. Пенсии 140-200 долларов, ЗП, ну пусть 500 и уже не так и дёшево
Это у вас на Украине получают 200 баксов, а у нас в России 1500-2000 )
70тыс руб в месяц, причём на одного, а не на семью, это самый нижний уровень в России. Помощник продавца в Пятёрочке так получает. Для тех у кого нет образования, нет навыков, нет амбиций, зачастую не говорящего по-русски..
@@GeorgeDurua проснись мальчик. у нас з/п больше 200к у полтара процента населения, большая часть россиян живёт на 30-40к в месяц. самый низкий уровень тысяч 15. в пятерки как и во всех продуктовых магазинах штрафы мама не горюй от этих твоих 70к и останется 40к и откуда там зп 70к ты чего несешь, у админа ещё возможно, продавцы там по 30-40к получают, это еще без штрафов. вот ты сказочник.
