What a great haul. I love to see what you can buy in foreign supermarkets. In the early-nineties, I used to take the car on the ferry to Calais or Boulogne to have a nice meal, wander around the supermarket and fill my car up with goodies to bring back. A lovely day out. Now, the closest I get to it, is the international food isle in Lidl.
Yeahhh, thanks for this video....we are going back to France for Christmas....and a big prepping shop. The dauphinoise potatoes are delicious. The tinned haricot vert are the best also the flageolet beans great with roast lamb cooked on top....
Well, a belated Happy Birthday and God bless you! Thanks, such fun to see what is different there. I never cease to be amazed at the prices you show me. I can't imagine the quality of alcohol in France, esp. for that money! OHG! The canned/tinned foods available and the prices! We are hardly getting one tin of vegetables for the price of the ratatouille! We have no pates here. If there may be some in specialty import shops, can't imagine what they would cost. And the chocolate! We have some put away,(I have it vacuum-sealed;I hope it lasts), but I was looking for some decent one to make specialties and I almost fell over in the store the other day. I keep a pound and euro converter right on my computer.
No, nothing like that. Few years ago they had camps right outside the port and they were everywhere . Now the port is very secured with few fences, all the camps have gone and not a single one in site.

You can still do it now, great fun with prepping in mind 😊
I love the wooden wine boxes, perfect for winter bulbs.
I might use them for discreeter storage of some tins 🤔
@@AnasFoodLifestyle i just love them stacked in a room, good idea for your tins.
Nice haul Ana . Oh and happy birthday . Thanks for bringing us this
Thank you 🤗

Thank you😊 we are thinking going there before Christmas and take little one with us .
Delicious haul 😋 Tinned goods look far nicer than ours, I can't wait for your taste test results!
In france, preserving and food prepping is still very very big. you cab buy pallets of glass jars and rubber seals and jar lids for very cheap prices.
I did look at jars in supermarkets but they were pricey but next time I will research where to buy them cheaply
C'est tres bon.😉
Wow! great haul, I'm impressed by the price of the canned goods. I love cassoulet especially if it has duck confit in it and those pâtés. Thanks Ana.
Thank you😊 I will try mine ones and then when we go back will stock up on best tasting ones 😁
Belated birthday wishes
Thank you 😊😊
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
I think I would have tried the cheapest chocolate too to see what it was like 😄
🤣thank you, might do next time
Their BBF dates seem to be a lot longer than ours, longest I have found on my tinned food is 2026
Yes I was very impressed too with the dates
ooh i want to go to Calais😂
You can make it a day trip if you live close to Dover. We used to travel from Brighton to Dover , catch fairy , shop and come home
@@AnasFoodLifestyle Thats where i am so maybe i should arrange a trip soon…
You in Brighton? The crossing is £39 per car each way most of the times
@@AnasFoodLifestyle i am 👍
Happy belated birthday 🎉
Thank you!!

This is so 1990's!
Maybe so but it is great fun 😁
Apart from the prepping shop in Calais, did you encounter any issues with migrant's trying to access your vehicle as many reports over the years.
No, nothing like that. Few years ago they had camps right outside the port and they were everywhere . Now the port is very secured with few fences, all the camps have gone and not a single one in site.
Thank you will share over my telegram groups
