Hey everyone! Thank you very much for your resposes! After reading your comments I thought I need to give more information about our supermarkets. 1) Yakutsk is a small city (population is less than 300k people), we don't need huge supermarkets. But we have supermarkets bigger than one shown in the video, size is the same as Lidl, Tesco or Auchan. This supermarket in the video is the closest to my home, it's medium, not the biggerst or smallest. 2) Yakutsk is the coldest town in the world. It means no local fruits or fresh veggies all year long. We only have tomatoes and cucumbers, our government put a lot of money into this project - working-all-year-long-greenhouses. Greenhouse in Yakutia in our conditions needs a lot of electricity, it's very "bold" project. I am very happy that we have at least these veggies during winter :) 5 years ago there were no any fresh and local veggies all year long. 3) Our ancestors lived thousand years not eating any veggies or fruits:) Yakut diet is special and consists of mostly meat and dairy. We have plenty of local good quality meat and dairy instead. I hope I made it more or less clear for you. Have a nice day! :)
I'm a vegetarian, so this would be quite different from my current diet! Kudos to your ancestors for being innovative enough to survive with no year-round fruit or veg. 😊💕
More than 250k people is still a large city! That's as big as the city of Des Moines, IA where I'm from. : ) What about growing grains in Yakutia? Probably the same situation as vegetables? What kind of meat does your area specialize in?
Actually, it is surprisingly similar. I used to live in the very north of Sweden (I now live in the middle, but still nowhere near a larger city) and the supermarket looks almost identical. It is both a bit strange and comforting to see. Lovely channel. It is truly wonderful how social media can bring us all together.
I live in Finland and thought the same! When abroad I'm usually a bit intimidated by the grocery stores but I think I'd be right at home there, perhaps with the aid of Google Translate to understand some of the packaging
Similar to many supermarkets around the world. Milk, bread, cheese, rice, chocolates, meat, ketchup, fish,….If you can eat bread or rice you can survive in any major city in the world.
@JasonZ No. Indeed no. Don’t do that, don’t tarnish such a beautiful project that is designed to bring different cultures and different peoples together. Don’t come here with hate.
@JasonZ what a stupid statement. Based on it we can all see where you get your news from since your comment has no basis in reality. Talk to anyone who's actually living in the nordic and you get very different idea of how life there is
I'm very surprised to see view count of this channel. I think people do not know much about Sakha Republic. I really like your videos, they are very real. Wish you good luck with your channel.
Hello Maria. I was surprised to see that the supermarket in Yakutsk looked very similar to small supermarkets that we have in the US. The difference is that your supermarket has different brands and foods from different countries that typical supermarkets in the US do not carry. Of course there are Asian and Russian stores in the US that may carry some of these products, but they are not common and typically exist in large cities in Asian or Russian areas. I was very surprised to see M&Ms and Snickers there. I am fascinated by your videos and always look forward to them. Thank you for all that you do.
Without this video on TH-cam, Yakutsk would be the most random place on Earth. That people live and exist there wouldn't matter to me. Yet.... I watch this video, and feel connected. It feels like it as near to be as my aunt's city one flight away. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your videos, great to see how life is in your part of the world. I live in South Dakota, USA, it gets cold here, but nothing like your part of the world! Thanks Maria
I love your channel so so much!!! Im an American living in Alabama and seeing these places that are so different from my own home is so inspiring!! I want to visit so badly!! Please keep the videos coming!!
I'm from Germany, there used to be a lot of small stores like this here, but almost all of them got replaced in the past by chains like Lidl and Edeka. Stores which cant compete with the presentation or Sortiment or price, run out of business. Most of the stores looking like this left are owned by turkish, russian or asian people and they are usually very specialiced and mostly sell products from that specific region, you wouldn't find nestle in there :D I actually prefer the smaller stores like this, because you don't have to spend as much time running around looking for stuff and getting distracted by things you don't need in your life.
Owh interesting! I made some weeks ago for a project on school a presentation about the river Lena. I also had to address the city's around there and one of them was Yakutsk! I was surprised it was the coldest city in the world! I wanted to know what a daily life was like there. It's so disappointing I didn't found your channel then. Keep going!🙌🏻
Hi Maria! I love your videos and your love for Sakha, it's culture, and it's people. I am Turkish and I can feel the roots of our people from your wonderful videos. Thank you very much
The prices of these items seem quite alright given the geographical isolation of Yakutia, it seems that the prices are not too different from the rest of Russia. Supermarkets in the Canadian and US Arctic where most of the indigenous Inuit community live often have prices marked up 5 to 10 times compared to other cities in their country due to transportation costs.
I'm a Brit, living 30+ yrs in the US, and I would be quite at home in this supermarket ! It's amazing to me that Siberia has foodstuffs from basically the whole world - it is not any more expensive than where I now live in New Jersey, US - I guess it's good because we can all feel at home anywhere if that is the case, but harder to sample unique local foods. Thank you for your video it is a good thing that we learn all about each other's lives !
Hello and thank you for sharing --- i really enjoy your channel --- i am from the caribbean so ehat you call exotic like avocados and mango is normal for me and part of our diet --- keep showing your lovely very cold country --- nice to see it --- keep safe and well --- hope to see more take care
Hi Maria. Great content and exceptional editing. You have the nicest voice-overlay. As supermarkets in America go, I'd say you only need the "Deli," something American stores have where they cook in the store or have ready to eat brought in to sell. Things like rotisserie Chicken, salads and baked goods. I am surprised to see so many items with American English written on the package. I think it amazing that ancestors did not eat raw vegetables and fruits, only meat and dairy. Thank you for sharing your culture, it is very nice to see how people live far from where I am. Keep Warm!!!
Hi Maria, your supermarket has pretty much everything that a modern market carries. It is interesting to see local produce such as meats, vegetables and fruits. Thank you for sharing.
In Poland in my tiny town (3000 residents) we have more variety in store but some things are the same. It is wonderful that we can see different parts of the world through internet:) Greetings!
Thank you. In The Netherlands you do not see this small supermarkets. This video made me think about Hungary stores; it's comparable. The way you present Yakutia is very authentic. 👏
Hello Maria. The supermarkets in the US are a little different in big cities, compared to large metropolitan areas. Smaller communities start out by isles, produce, can goods, baking supplies then snack foods. Paper products & soaps then follow. The refrigerated and frozen foods are last. The merchandising techniques place the high volume quick foods in the back of the store so customers have a chance to “impulse” buy. Large metropolitan areas set the supermarkets up as departmental “specialty “. Shops if you will. Things like breads, and cheeses. They go for the quick high profit items, and “up sell”, in hopes that the customers are in a hurry or not savvy to the cost/pound ratio. I really enjoy you videos. I have always wondered about that part of the world. They educate and make me smile! All the best!
In Finland shops of this size are kinda similar and in some products there is a different emphasis. Local products are too many to mention, but international products are kinda the same. You seem to have a bigger selection in noodles. Here you have to go to a bigger supermarket/hypermarket or an Asian shop for the same variety. In my neighbourhood we also have a shop with Russian style products (actually often produced in Estonia, Germany, Poland etc.) and some supermarkets also have a small shelf for Russian style products like grechka, kapusta and Russian style mayonnaise. Here is usually a wide choice of vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes like steaks, sausages, strips and minced varieties. What is the biggest difference here compared to Russia in general is that traditional market places, so-called market halls, are more expensive than supermarkets and often there is only 1 proper market hall in a city. Bigger store chains can keep the prices lower compared to small companies. I would actually prefer the traditional markets if they weren't more far, because some fresh products in supermarkets come in plastic and also the quality can be better in market halls.
Keep up the good work! You’re actually the first person (to my knowledge) from Siberia that makes a vlog about Yakutia. I hope more people getting interested about life in Siberia through your channel and videos.
I live in Florida USA and your supermarket look close to ours. Surprised how much fruits and vegetables your store had in coldest city on earth Love your videos hugs
I'm from Australia, and I guess ours are pretty similar! We have very large fresh fruit and vegetable sections because we can grow things all year long. Our tropical fruits can be grown in the far north and so we can almost always choose to get vegetables and fruit from our own country. I like that there are many local things for you to choose from too! It's very interesting to see such a different place to here! Nowhere I have lived here snows! Or at least, maybe one day every few years.
Greetings from Southern California. Nice to the different colors, in the fruits and vegetables...available in the stores, in your town. We appreciate your sharing your videos very much. Happiness to you all.
Hello from Turkey 🙋 our supermarkets are looking like yours too. 💙 i just wanted to thank you, because you didn't leave your own culture and did show us.
Wow that's great I was thinking it is extremely frigid so difficult to finds vegetables, fruits and grocery but it looks very easy to get things there I love to watch your vlog you are just snow queen I wish I could be there next winter And I want to cook various Indian dishes in this cold place The coldest place on the planet
Everything looks very similar to the way things are set up in our supermarkets here in San Diego, California - well, even throughout the states that I have been to. Other than the name brands and something like caviar it is mostly the same. I am checking out your other videos slowly. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us.
Wow I'm so happy I found this channel today! Thank you for sharing your everyday life, it's so wonderful to see how even the most basic things like groceries can be so different. I'm excited to see more of your videos so I can learn even more :) Дорообо from Australia!!
In Mexico we have many things and brands same as in your supermarket. If I travel to Yakutsk and go to the supermarket will feel as in home. Thanks for the video, very nice.
Hi Maria, an interesting super market tour I have just watched. It is always a wonderful experience to see life in Yakutia. I have seen the world from Australia to Europe but never had the experience to visit Yakutia like wonderland. Honestly, I really like the way you describe the facts about this beautiful part of the world which has it's own beauty. God bless you and may God keep you always happy and healthy. Iqbal/Mr. Islamabad
Мария, отличные видео и хороший английский :) Мне, как fellow Yakutian , очень интересно наблюдать, как вы распространяете знания о родной Якутии по всему миру. Так держать!👏
It's surprising how fast your channel is growing - a couple weeks ago you had less than 1000 subscribers and now you're looking at 2k! Congrats again! By the way, any plans to explore other cities in Yakutia? Those northern villages, in the polar circle, sound like an interesting adventure.
It is quite similar to norwegian supermarkets, but most likely much cheaper there in Russia than here. Love your videos, you have a pleasant presentation and very to the point. You have a humble and smiling demeanour. I enjoy to watch what Yaktusk is like. Love from Norway.
Your supermarket looks real similar to some of the smaller ones that we have here. Totally decent for sure. So interesting to see how people live in a place that is so different from where I live (Honolulu HI). You got me hooked; I'm subscribing!!!!
Here in America, grocery stores are much like the one in your area. The supermarkets are pretty large and keep growing. Your videos are really interesting.
Hello from Iowa, USA! This was a very enjoyable video, thank you for sharing! In the state I live in, the supermarkets are much bigger than this, but offer their products at cheaper prices, which often forces small family owned stores to close. I saw several other U.S. commenters saying that this reminded them of a convenience store at an American gas station. That is definitely true where I live. When I lived in Alaska, there was a store chain called IGA that was very much like this. Thanks again!
@@alexandrvasilev2865 Hello! I lived in Alaska 17 years ago, so I don't know if this has changed. But back then, prices were definitely higher than in the mainland United States, largely because it was difficult and expensive to produce things like milk, meat, and eggs in the customary United States methods in the Alaskan climate with short its summers and long, cold winters. 🥶 Thank you for your curiosity, and now I too want to know if this is still an issue in Alaska 17 years later. 🙂
I live in the U.S. Our stores have a lot more pre-packaged Heat and serve meals. I'm sure yours is healthier. We also have a lot of non-food items like paper products, cleaning products, even oil and antifreeze for cars. I love your videos BTW
Nice Video im from the uk and your supermarkets look lovely ours are huge i saw you say in another comment you have some bigger ones also i love how you have a lot of temperature variations during they year our hottest ever temperature was 38.7 while our coldest was -27.2
If only I bought such healthy food- your cart is nothing but fruits and veggies, while my first thought is “Fire bird frozen pizza! Sweet.” Thanks again for all your videos!
I loved seeing your store. It is really quite lovely! It is much cleaner than my local store in a little town in NY. Also, we do not have good local products. We do not know where the meat comes from.
We have a large, local Ukraine community where I live and a few of the products I saw at 2:20 were familiar. I am a new subscriber..... Greetings from Massachusetts, USA! STAY WARM AND SAFE!
I have a local Eastern European store here in my small town in North Wales, UK that looks just like your local supermarket, only on a smaller scale. I even learned the Russian Cyrilic alphabet so I could read the labels of Russian and other Cyrillic text language products, although many products have small labels in English that list ingredients and nutritional information. There are many products I enjoy, like canned fish and charcuterie I can't get anywhere else.
Hi and thanks for your video. I'm from the USA where we have markets with similar items as you show here. I also lived in Uruguay for a while where we had no markets with lots of items in most cities. There the smaller cities had a small meat market that sold only meat, and a small bakery that might also sell milk. Most all other items were smuggled into the country from Brazil and sold from people's homes. Inside of one house in a neighborhood the smuggled items were sold. Things like cheese, beans, cornmeal, flour etc.
You're vlogs are mind blowing 👌👌... Sister plz give us a glimpse of daily routine of yakut people if it is possible for you... I really want to know how yakut people follow their daily routine in such heavy cold...
Hi Maria! Your supermarket seems to have a good sortiment compared to my supermarket in Stockholm, Sweden. I was surprised of the vegs and fruits. They seems all to meet the best requirement. Good luck and keep on with your channel.
That is really interesting to see how people live in other countries, especially in remote place like Siberia. I'm flabbergasted to see how you have quite a large variety of Fruits and Vegetables and Products we have here in North America, like Heinz Ketchup, Kellog's Cereals and Merci Chocolates. Your videos are really interesting!!
Your channel brings me a great feeling of comfort,and it is incredibly interesting to learn about Yakutia!What a great supermarket,it has just what you'd need.I live in Athens,Greece and I am very surprised to see some similar products in our markets!!Mainly cereals,coffee etc.
The variety of food in your supermarket is just like those in the United Kingdom, one thing that is better however, is that you appear to have more organic local foods which is something we don't have but wish we did.
heyy maria ...i m feom india . i love the ykutski village life ..i had ever seen in your and others video but the way you describe is wonderfull. once in a life i want to stay some day yakutki village. its my dream.
As someone who works at costco everything in that supermarket is sooooooooo small by comparison yet so cute!! Omg im obsessed haha. I could scour the isles for hours! And all those varieties of ketchups lolllll ❤❤❤❤👍👍
In Athens Georgia in America where I live we have many very larger supermarkets, you can find anything to eat and also our larger supermarkets are cheaper than our small grocery stores. A good video my friend all my best Ramon
The difference for me is that your supermarket is so well organized and everything is stacked so neatly. I enjoy your videos and think you have a perfect voice for reading stories and asmr. Have a great day and i look forward to more of your videos. :)
I live outside NYC and this store reminds me of the small grocery store I did most of my shopping at. It’s a small independent store. It cost more than the giant chain stores but it has everything I need and the quality tends to be better and it’s a quick in and out. There are lot of small stores like this in NYC and the area.
This was a great video, thank you! It's such an attractive shop! I'd love to shop there. You have Bounty ice creams - I love them! But they're not so easy to find here in England for some reason. The cucumbers looked very nice and fresh. The cakes section and prepared foods sections looked so appealing!
I'm quite surprised that in Yakutsk there are plenty of fruit supply. You even have avocado! I'm now in New Zealand but your supermarket looks like the one in my hometown in China.
In NYC groceries in supermarkets are very expensive-a quart of milk on average costs 1.80USD, 12 eggs 3.75USD and a loaf of bread 3.50USD. Love your channel.
I'm Israeli and unfortunately it's really expensive here as well. A liter of milk is about 2.2USD, 12 L eggs are 3.7 USD and simple white bread is 2.96 USD.
Groceries such as milk and eggs should probably be even more expensive in the USA but there are many government subsidies and other measures in place to regulate the price, so what a gallon of milk should cost without subsidies is much higher. But we have free market capitalism, right?! Lol hardly 😂
That's the same prices as here in Montréal. I used to live in Minnesota and worked in a dairy cooler at a grocery store, where a half gallon of milk(2L) is 94¢, a dozen(12) eggs is 79¢, and a loaf of bread is $1. And sometimes people would complain about how expensive the prices were.
I live in southern U.S. need to cool air more than heat it. Have pineaples growing in pots. Local supermarkets are about same as this one,larger ones across town. Lots of fresh shrimp,crabs and fish. Getting cooler now 73 degrees f.daytime.
This is such a lovely video, thanks for showing it! American supermarkets are massive and have... too many choices for everything haha. Love that yours reminds me of the supermarkets that my grandmother has in the south of France with a lovely variety and good local foods as well as international foods. The smile sticker on the fruit was so cute! I'm so glad you're able to get those vegetables considering how hard it is to grow them there.
Hey everyone! Thank you very much for your resposes! After reading your comments I thought I need to give more information about our supermarkets.
1) Yakutsk is a small city (population is less than 300k people), we don't need huge supermarkets. But we have supermarkets bigger than one shown in the video, size is the same as Lidl, Tesco or Auchan. This supermarket in the video is the closest to my home, it's medium, not the biggerst or smallest.
2) Yakutsk is the coldest town in the world. It means no local fruits or fresh veggies all year long. We only have tomatoes and cucumbers, our government put a lot of money into this project - working-all-year-long-greenhouses. Greenhouse in Yakutia in our conditions needs a lot of electricity, it's very "bold" project. I am very happy that we have at least these veggies during winter :) 5 years ago there were no any fresh and local veggies all year long.
3) Our ancestors lived thousand years not eating any veggies or fruits:) Yakut diet is special and consists of mostly meat and dairy. We have plenty of local good quality meat and dairy instead.
I hope I made it more or less clear for you. Have a nice day! :)
There are no fruits even during the summer in yakutia? What about forrest berries? Stuff like blueberries or rasberries?
I'm a vegetarian, so this would be quite different from my current diet! Kudos to your ancestors for being innovative enough to survive with no year-round fruit or veg. 😊💕
More than 250k people is still a large city! That's as big as the city of Des Moines, IA where I'm from. : ) What about growing grains in Yakutia? Probably the same situation as vegetables? What kind of meat does your area specialize in?

I went to Kiruna summer last year, it was really nice, under the midnight sun. I'm from the south of Sweden though, but from a small town as well.
Similar to many supermarkets around the world. Milk, bread, cheese, rice, chocolates, meat, ketchup, fish,….If you can eat bread or rice you can survive in any major city in the world.
@JasonZ No. Indeed no. Don’t do that, don’t tarnish such a beautiful project that is designed to bring different cultures and different peoples together.

Wish you good luck with your channel.
Thank you 🙏😊
Yep, finally some channel with real content...better then randome youtube rants and letsplays.
Your cart was pure health! I would try everything in that market, sausages, dumplings, local bread and fish. Super cozy shop.

Impressed with the selection of produce available given it's the coldest place on Earth. Love to see what can grow with the planned Greenhouse
The variety of ketchups
I love that smiling mango! This was a nice video! That grocery store reminds me of what stores used to look like in Iceland when I was a kid.
Me: Grew up mere hours from Yakutsk.
TH-cam: Do you want to watch a tour of a Yakutsk supermarket?
Me: cLiCk

you are just snow queen
I wish I could be there next winter
And I want to cook various Indian dishes in this cold place
The coldest place on the planet
Everything looks very similar to the way things are set up in our supermarkets here in San Diego, California - well, even throughout the states that I have been to. Other than the name brands and something like caviar it is mostly the same. I am checking out your other videos slowly. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us.
Wow I'm so happy I found this channel today! Thank you for sharing your everyday life, it's so wonderful to see how even the most basic things like groceries can be so different. I'm excited to see more of your videos so I can learn even more :)
Дорообо from Australia!!
In Mexico we have many things and brands same as in your supermarket. If I travel to Yakutsk and go to the supermarket will feel as in home. Thanks for the video, very nice.
Hi Maria, an interesting super market tour I have just watched. It is always a wonderful experience to see life in Yakutia. I have seen the world from Australia to Europe but never had the experience to visit Yakutia like wonderland.
Honestly, I really like the way you describe the facts about this beautiful part of the world which has it's own beauty. God bless you and may God keep you always happy and healthy. Iqbal/Mr. Islamabad
Smilies on Mangos 😍😍 made my day.
Those were so cute! :D
Those were so cute! :D
Those were so cute! :D
Мария, отличные видео и хороший английский :) Мне, как fellow Yakutian , очень интересно наблюдать, как вы распространяете знания о родной Якутии по всему миру. Так держать!👏
Спасибо ☺️
I am mesmerised by beauty of your country.
Ah ! There's a lot of Korean food on display at the supermarket of Yakutsk. chocopie and buldak ramen etc.
It pretty much looks like a Grocery Store here in the States! Give or take a few varied selections.
TFS
I’m so glad I found this channel
It's surprising how fast your channel is growing - a couple weeks ago you had less than 1000 subscribers and now you're looking at 2k! Congrats again!
By the way, any plans to explore other cities in Yakutia? Those northern villages, in the polar circle, sound like an interesting adventure.
Your channel is so interesting! Thank you for sharing this with us!

It is quite similar to norwegian supermarkets, but most likely much cheaper there in Russia than here. Love your videos, you have a pleasant presentation and very to the point. You have a humble and smiling demeanour. I enjoy to watch what Yaktusk is like. Love from Norway.
Your supermarket looks real similar to some of the smaller ones that we have here. Totally decent for sure. So interesting to see how people live in a place that is so different from where I live (Honolulu HI). You got me hooked; I'm subscribing!!!!
Here in America, grocery stores are much like the one in your area. The supermarkets are pretty large and keep growing.
Your videos are really interesting.
Interesting to see another part of the world so far away . Very similar items to whats available in my local grocery store.
Aloha (hello) from Hawaii USA. Your market is very nice. Markets here can get too big and difficult to find items sometimes. The weather is 85° here.
Hello from Iowa, USA! This was a very enjoyable video, thank you for sharing! In the state I live in, the supermarkets are much bigger than this, but offer their products at cheaper prices, which often forces small family owned stores to close. I saw several other U.S. commenters saying that this reminded them of a convenience store at an American gas station. That is definitely true where I live. When I lived in Alaska, there was a store chain called IGA that was very much like this. Thanks again!
Hi, does products in Alaska costs higher than in mainland America?
@@alexandrvasilev2865 Hello! I lived in Alaska 17 years ago, so I don't know if this has changed. But back then, prices were definitely higher than in the mainland United States, largely because it was difficult and expensive to produce things like milk, meat, and eggs in the customary United States methods in the Alaskan climate with short its summers and long, cold winters. 🥶 Thank you for your curiosity, and now I too want to know if this is still an issue in Alaska 17 years later. 🙂
@@benturner6392 thank you for your reply.
Ben Turner....I live on Long Island in NY and we still have a few IGA supermarkets left here.( When I was growing up there were a lot more.)God Bless!
I live in the U.S. Our stores have a lot more pre-packaged Heat and serve meals. I'm sure yours is healthier. We also have a lot of non-food items like paper products, cleaning products, even oil and antifreeze for cars. I love your videos BTW
Nice Video im from the uk and your supermarkets look lovely ours are huge i saw you say in another comment you have some bigger ones also i love how you have a lot of temperature variations during they year our hottest ever temperature was 38.7 while our coldest was -27.2
If only I bought such healthy food- your cart is nothing but fruits and veggies, while my first thought is “Fire bird frozen pizza! Sweet.” Thanks again for all your videos!
I loved seeing your store. It is really quite lovely! It is much cleaner than my local store in a little town in NY. Also, we do not have good local products. We do not know where the meat comes from.
We have a large, local Ukraine community where I live and a few of the products I saw at 2:20 were familiar. I am a new subscriber..... Greetings from Massachusetts, USA! STAY WARM AND SAFE!
очень рада видеть такой формат о якутске! продолжай в том же духе, у тебя прекрасно получается !!🤩💞
Спасибо :)
I have a local Eastern European store here in my small town in North Wales, UK that looks just like your local supermarket, only on a smaller scale. I even learned the Russian Cyrilic alphabet so I could read the labels of Russian and other Cyrillic text language products, although many products have small labels in English that list ingredients and nutritional information. There are many products I enjoy, like canned fish and charcuterie I can't get anywhere else.
Omg жар-Пицца is my new favorite brand name. 😂
Hi and thanks for your video. I'm from the USA where we have markets with similar items as you show here. I also lived in Uruguay for a while where we had no markets with lots of items in most cities. There the smaller cities had a small meat market that sold only meat, and a small bakery that might also sell milk. Most all other items were smuggled into the country from Brazil and sold from people's homes. Inside of one house in a neighborhood the smuggled items were sold. Things like cheese, beans, cornmeal, flour etc.
Thanks for the video.
You're vlogs are mind blowing 👌👌... Sister plz give us a glimpse of daily routine of yakut people if it is possible for you... I really want to know how yakut people follow their daily routine in such heavy cold...
You have all things that you need in your local supermarket. 👍👏
Very good 👍 Maria ❤️your bloge is very interesting ❤️ from India 🙏
Hi Maria!
Your supermarket seems to have a good sortiment compared to my supermarket in Stockholm, Sweden. I was surprised of the vegs and fruits. They seems all to meet the best requirement. Good luck and keep on with your channel.
That is really interesting to see how people live in other countries, especially in remote place like Siberia. I'm flabbergasted to see how you have quite a large variety of Fruits and Vegetables and Products we have here in North America, like Heinz Ketchup, Kellog's Cereals and Merci Chocolates. Your videos are really interesting!!
Thank you again Maria
Your channel brings me a great feeling of comfort,and it is incredibly interesting to learn about Yakutia!What a great supermarket,it has just what you'd need.I live in Athens,Greece and I am very surprised to see some similar products in our markets!!Mainly cereals,coffee etc.
The variety of food in your supermarket is just like those in the United Kingdom, one thing that is better however, is that you appear to have more organic local foods which is something we don't have but wish we did.
Awesome that your able to buy delicious Mango in your grocery stores there!🤗
heyy maria ...i m feom india . i love the ykutski village life ..i had ever seen in your and others video but the way you describe is wonderfull. once in a life i want to stay some day yakutki village. its my dream.
As someone who works at costco everything in that supermarket is sooooooooo small by comparison yet so cute!! Omg im obsessed haha. I could scour the isles for hours! And all those varieties of ketchups lolllll ❤❤❤❤👍👍
thanks our grocery is very large with many products
In Athens Georgia in America where I live we have many very larger supermarkets, you can find anything to eat and also our larger supermarkets are cheaper than our small grocery stores. A good video my friend all my best Ramon
The difference for me is that your supermarket is so well organized and everything is stacked so neatly. I enjoy your videos and think you have a perfect voice for reading stories and asmr. Have a great day and i look forward to more of your videos. :)
Hi Maria! I am from italy. I love tour country especially during winter. I hope i will come once in life!
I live outside NYC and this store reminds me of the small grocery store I did most of my shopping at. It’s a small independent store. It cost more than the giant chain stores but it has everything I need and the quality tends to be better and it’s a quick in and out. There are lot of small stores like this in NYC and the area.
This was a great video, thank you! It's such an attractive shop! I'd love to shop there. You have Bounty ice creams - I love them! But they're not so easy to find here in England for some reason. The cucumbers looked very nice and fresh. The cakes section and prepared foods sections looked so appealing!
I'm quite surprised that in Yakutsk there are plenty of fruit supply. You even have avocado! I'm now in New Zealand but your supermarket looks like the one in my hometown in China.
When I lived in a small province here in Canada, some small grocery stores are actually expensive.
I’m curious about the noodles made in Russia.😄
They are not good
@@B1sher 😆
They are all made in Russia, including "Korean" one.
@@cianakril Really? Wow! That’s interesting.
@@B1sher some of Russian noodles are really good actually.
Hello from Turkey 👋👋👍☺☺🇹🇷❤❤❤
In NYC groceries in supermarkets are very expensive-a quart of milk on average costs 1.80USD, 12 eggs 3.75USD and a loaf of bread 3.50USD. Love your channel.
Wow that’s so much, a litre of milk here is 0.50€, 12 eggs is 2€ and a loaf of bread is between 0.90€ and 1.20€
I'm Israeli and unfortunately it's really expensive here as well. A liter of milk is about 2.2USD, 12 L eggs are 3.7 USD and simple white bread is 2.96 USD.
Groceries such as milk and eggs should probably be even more expensive in the USA but there are many government subsidies and other measures in place to regulate the price, so what a gallon of milk should cost without subsidies is much higher.
But we have free market capitalism, right?! Lol hardly 😂
average yakutian earns 650 US dollars a month. so i mean you still can't afford much
That's the same prices as here in Montréal. I used to live in Minnesota and worked in a dairy cooler at a grocery store, where a half gallon of milk(2L) is 94¢, a dozen(12) eggs is 79¢, and a loaf of bread is $1. And sometimes people would complain about how expensive the prices were.
Hello, we have supermarkets in Australia including IGA and Woolworths.
I live in southern U.S. need to cool air more than heat it. Have pineaples growing in pots. Local supermarkets are about same as this one,larger ones across town. Lots of fresh shrimp,crabs and fish. Getting cooler now 73 degrees f.daytime.
I really like your videos... it is so amazing to be able to see very different life and different place
...please continue making them:)
This is such a lovely video, thanks for showing it! American supermarkets are massive and have... too many choices for everything haha. Love that yours reminds me of the supermarkets that my grandmother has in the south of France with a lovely variety and good local foods as well as international foods. The smile sticker on the fruit was so cute! I'm so glad you're able to get those vegetables considering how hard it is to grow them there.
