to have the best product every organic item should be grown indoor under uv filters water air the water never comes in contact with plastic nor do plants from seed to plant for no contamination from the ozon
Many of these products can be found at Sprouts and Whole Foods for less. I admit there are some products I'd love to try, but I think you can still eat well shopping elsewhere.
Yes, but you don't get to say "I shop at Erewhon" if I shop at those stores. I want to be able to brag about shopping there and therefore will pay more for that privilege.
You can literally get a huge bag of the Siete chips at Costco so I find that totally outrageous. In fact I just recently polished one off lol. I get some of the other items you showed from Costco too. Thank you for the fun detour from the Costco videos hahaha. Makes me feel even better abou shopping at Costco every week. I, like, have one of those things called a refrigerator so it's not really a problem to buy a Costco size of a few things.
Erewhon really leaning into marketing over quality or price 💲. The place and products look really pretty and it has collabs with celebrities. Not things most people want their grocery store to be spending their money on, but it manages to focus on its niche of exploiting the shallowness of people who only care about appearances.
Dobt get it twisted the aisles are actually narrow to get you to buy more, they are smaller so you most likely are going to see more product and buy. Don't let that "sense of community" marketing mumbo jumbo get to you.
I worked for Erewhon café. I was the nighttime manager during the greatest years of Hollywood, and I got to meet a lot of stars… it was 1989. Wow what an era!
They were regular, cowboy pioneers of their products, but then, when people realized how important their provisions were, of course, it drives the prices up because the popularity grew… These products are very difficult to cultivate and provide, especially in these times
I love the variety and choices offered! Yes, love the packaging too! Gotta make a trip there soon! Yes, absolutely ridiculous prices, but many of their items are organic, so people can pick and choose how they want to spend their money. No one is forcing you to go inside and buy anything.
We have a few similar style supermarkets here in Australia. While I don't do my main shop there, I like to browse and pick up a few treats. I especially like that they promote smaller boutique brands, and not just boring ubiquitous multi national brands.
I mean the salary is higher there as well. For example, an anesthesiologist job posting locally to me is 450-600k, but looking at the postings in LA or near LA it ranges from 600-1mil. So if you're in a field like that this place would "affordable"
Micha! So cool to see you first thing this morning on TH-cam, lost track of you guys over past couple months, need to catch up on you and Matteo's videos. That's funny you're shopping at where all the rich Newport Mom's go!
two things - one, the kale chips that are the actual erewhon brand are SIGNIFICANTLY better! I would recommend the half and half to anyone looking to get them. second, those glass bottles that you can "bring back" you have to pay a FEE when you purchase them, so it is less plastic ect. but it costs even more than the price listed with the fee.
The items are marked up to pay for the expense of running an organic grocery store in a posh location. Whole Foods, Sprouts, and TJs have the capital to open in prime locations. Local grocery stores do not, so they brand themselves as upscale and markup products for 2x the normal costs.
Most of this stuff, you can even find at Grocery Outlet or even a liquor store in California if you get lucky. This place is for rich people who can afford other people's labor, but are too lazy to cook for themselves. All of those pre-packaged foods just says it all. It's way cheaper to buy separate ingredients and cook then it is to buy something than it is already made that has the Erewhon logo on it.
i do love stores like these but the prices OMG hehe but its quality and not mass produced and full of fillers and preservatives found in a lot of cheap mass produced stuff I. have heard of that smoothie and wanted to try but you can google recipes to make it minus some of the expensive ingredients like sea moss etc thanks this was a great video the first of yours that i have seen i enjoyed it
If it's from local producers, shouldn't it be 10× cheaper than to import it. I feel shops use this local produced thing to ramp prices up, thinking the customer is stupid. There's no logistics, so it should, in fact, be cheaper. These prices are horrendous. There's no practical thinking of what prices should be.
I love a natural grocery store and all of the natural items are available in other grocery stores for a lot less. But the idiots in Los Angeles think if they pay more they are getting something better. SHOP FARMERS MARKETS INSTEAD!! 🐝
Omg my dream supermarket!!!! It’s really really really sad that in malaysia overseas products are limited and expensive!!! Could have bought via Amazon but that’s obviously too pricey as well !!! Lucky Americans or anyone living in the wonderful US!!!!☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
You probably be spending half a grand for grocery that last a month. I find it weird when celebrities say grocery is overpriced, but they be shopping at stores like this, right. 💀
Which product did you find the most outrageous?? 😂
to have the best product every organic item should be grown indoor under uv filters water air the water never comes in contact with plastic nor do plants from seed to plant for no contamination from the ozon
Produce mostly
That place is so posh. I wouldn’t be able to park my car there before an employee would shout “No peasants allowed” and I’d be asked to leave
🤣🤣🤣 Stop
This comment! Lol 😂
Lol😂
😂😂😂😂😂
as I said, this was back in 1989, thing & people were sooo different... people actually cared about each other and about themselves
Homeless or Ultra Rich. That's the reality of LA today.
That's what Marxism is al about.
@@stevefarrugia-dc7qtMarxism OK my guy. Go back to bed.
@@felipenunez2058 i can go to bed with a roof on my head,.....lol

That’s not the point. A lot of the stuff is Rare too. But I do feel you tho esp compared to Whole Foods
i was just about to say this.. i work at sprouts and stock almost everything in this video
Yes, but you don't get to say "I shop at Erewhon" if I shop at those stores. I want to be able to brag about shopping there and therefore will pay more for that privilege.
@@latinolawdog5067hahaha right? People even save the handle bags and make sure they are seen if anyone opens their cupboards at home. 🤣
Again, I am talking about 1989
LA can keep their Erewhon 😂 no way in hell you can get me to step foot in there. I'll stick to my trader Joe's, Costco, and grocery outlet 😊
Im from The Bahamas, and this is how i feel every time i grocery shop! Like 10 items for $100
But that's justifiable since almost everything is imported which realllly jacks up the prices.
Makes whole foods seem cheap ahHa thank you so much for this video!
Yasss
Only the rich and famous can shop at that store. Everything is overpriced.. I agree, massive selection, but overpriced
It’s not overpriced it’s healthy food
These videos are more instructive than many sociology texts. 👏
Aww thank you so much, your comment made my day!! 🥰🤍

A hershey bar will one day cost $20. At the rate we are going it won’t take too long.
Dobt get it twisted the aisles are actually narrow to get you to buy more, they are smaller so you most likely are going to see more product and buy. Don't let that "sense of community" marketing mumbo jumbo get to you.
I'd love to see the income statement on this store. Just so that I can see the individual markup on items.
I worked for Erewhon café. I was the nighttime manager during the greatest years of Hollywood, and I got to meet a lot of stars… it was 1989. Wow what an era!
I closed out a check for Danny DeVito and his wife, and help them to their car with their to go care packages… The most genuine and gracious people
Thanks for the new video! I’m looking forward to seeing what other content you post! Always good to learn as much as you can!
i work at sprouts and we carry the exact same brands and stuff for at least half the price 😭😭
They were regular, cowboy pioneers of their products, but then, when people realized how important their provisions were, of course, it drives the prices up because the popularity grew… These products are very difficult to cultivate and provide, especially in these times
I’m obsessed 🤩
No Erewhon Market in Coachella Valley - never heard of them till seeing this video -) Winco is where we shop - eggs less than $2.00 a dozen
So far there are only 10 Erewhon locations, but they're all in LA County! Hahah yea, Winco's prices are my kinda prices!! 😂💯
Shoutout to the homie at 25:55 not giving a fuck with his $1.99 7-11 coffee LOL
Am I the only one who feels it's not that horrible??
I love the variety and choices offered! Yes, love the packaging too! Gotta make a trip there soon! Yes, absolutely ridiculous prices, but many of their items are organic, so people can pick and choose how they want to spend their money. No one is forcing you to go inside and buy anything.
I'll stick with Grocery Outlet. Thanks.
This place looks so fancy! I would love to go when I visit California.
I live in Chicago and I notice many of thise brands at our local stores half that price.
UK resident here . That store actually looks like a Co Op store you get here which is mid priced those prices are insane ! 😮
We have a few similar style supermarkets here in Australia. While I don't do my main shop there, I like to browse and pick up a few treats. I especially like that they promote smaller boutique brands, and not just boring ubiquitous multi national brands.
They have alot of that at Costco for waaaaaasy lesss . Why go there ??
sending love all the way from Lebanon
my son berent would love this place!
thanks dad!
I mean the salary is higher there as well. For example, an anesthesiologist job posting locally to me is 450-600k, but looking at the postings in LA or near LA it ranges from 600-1mil.

Very nice video. ❤
Pov: Normal European market
I would only go there for my dog… yes he eats better than me 😆
10:48 that would drive me mad, personal space is priceless 😒
wow I am thinking how much would it cost to feed my Family lol, we'd have to sell our house and live in a tent 😅
Hahaha right?! I couldn't believe the prices, it's insane! 😂
@@michaworldwide yes for sure, but a lot of interesting stuff
oh for sure, and probably very healthy

This comment deserves more likes
It's expensive for a reason. Everything is real organic not sprayed by chemicals and healthier for you. Healthier things are more expensive
@@ADesolateAngeloh. That makes sense 😅
🌱 *Mia plant-based prosciutto for $8* is pretty decent, less than quality pork prosciutto, but no animal had to die for it.
i do love stores like these but the prices OMG hehe but its quality and not mass produced and full of fillers and preservatives found in a lot of cheap mass produced stuff I. have heard of that smoothie and wanted to try but you can google recipes to make it minus some of the expensive ingredients like sea moss etc thanks this was a great video the first of yours that i have seen i enjoyed it
All the food packages look so enticing & probably cost more than the foods itself 🤦♀️
You have such pretty hair!
Aww thank you so much! 🥰
Zaatar is much known in Lebanon.
Not all the prices were all that bad. I bet the grocery stores in N. Alaska are more expensive than this place for many items.
Thank you ❤
I’d just fly to Europe to get my groceries 😆
They really jack up the prices. I pay less than half that for the same illy coffee in Denmark and we have a 25 percent sales tax on that here.
If it's from local producers, shouldn't it be 10× cheaper than to import it. I feel shops use this local produced thing to ramp prices up, thinking the customer is stupid.

4.99 for Vichy isn't too bad. 7 in Palo Alto
Yes, in southern California we are allowed only enough food for "half a person". Don't come for me it's a joke (sort of).
Besides Erewhon, where tf could you find an avacado for $10?
I love a natural grocery store and all of the natural items are available in other grocery stores for a lot less. But the idiots in Los Angeles think if they pay more they are getting something better. SHOP FARMERS MARKETS INSTEAD!! 🐝
So they say the best Erewhon has to offer is organic Tampon.
These are average prices all over Canada.
HEB is superior in every way
Omg my dream supermarket!!!! It’s really really really sad that in malaysia overseas products are limited and expensive!!! Could have bought via Amazon but that’s obviously too pricey as well !!! Lucky Americans or anyone living in the wonderful US!!!!☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Gee, those are the kind of prices you’d find at a mediocre supermarket here in Canada 😖
Come to Canada … the prices are the same .
Just go in and yell "IM ONLY HERE TO USE THE PUBLIC BATHROOM...WHERE IS IT??" And see if the cashier or janitor throws you out first.
You probably be spending half a grand for grocery that last a month. I find it weird when celebrities say grocery is overpriced, but they be shopping at stores like this, right. 💀

do they have chicken jerky?
Prices seem like the norm.
The rich get to eat healthy. Probably live longer. I can't afford this. Plus they don't want the poor shopping where they go.
it's definitely not a store for erewhon
Absurd. Absolutely absurd.
another hit around the bases !!!!!!
Aww thank you so much Drew! 🥰
Aisles and aisles of over priced junk..😂😂😂
Only the honey price is ok.
Holy Jesus!
😂😂😂
Eat all those almond based pastas and you will have kidney stones in no time...😅😅😅
there's no egg problem you npc. it's called price gauging
"You should have gotten the $14 beef jerky" 😂🥹😭
