I spent 5 years in Sweden before returning back to India and during my stay over there I felt that the vegetables in the supermarket were very expensive and had no taste. For an instance the tomatoes lacked the sour taste. Then lot of packaged or frozen vegetables. Whatever we took for granted here in India like vegetables and fruits like mangoes etc. were expensive. The only thing that I really enjoyed in Europe was the fresh bakery items.
Most European countries import Biologically modified food items from US companies like the Monsanto. The process results in food items being almost tasteless, with very less nutrition per ounce and in some cases.. even cancerous (Don't ask me if it is planned or not, the company swears that it is not planned and just happens sometimes "magically", and if you think of suing them legally, especially in the US, they have an army of lawyers who will counter sue you for defamation until you are bankrupt, anything more than this could be considered conspiracy theory, but it is up to you to research more). The few countries in Europe who are holding back against these massive corrupt companies are probably Spain, Italy or France.. since they have had a long traditional cuisine rich history of their own. If you can, try tasting fruits and food produce from these countries and then compare them to the food from the US or UK.

India has both abundant and affordable supplies. Food and fruits are super cheap if you have income above middle level. Yet the middle and lower class is finding it tough mainly because of cash crunch and income limitation and taxes. If you have more than 50k per month , everything is easy.

This video is a great illustration of the exact economic reason Britain wanted to colonize India. It got control over India’s near infinite labor force and arable land. Thus way it could maintain cheaper prices for the food and materials it imported from India.
That is the case for most of Asia and Africa. Europe and America still import cheap materials and cheap labour. Power is shifting to Asia. Asian countries need to increase the minimum wage down the line.🙏😊
1 was astonished to find that you can rent a good quality flat for 25000 INR (about £250) a month. One could live quite comfortably on a state pension, currently £740 a month.
So in inr it will be around 1,25,000 rupees.... My god thats too much. In 25-30 k you can easily get a decent flat.. may be you are living in a very posh area.

Thank you so much. 😊😊🙏🙏I was comparing it to what I paid in UK. In Europe things are cheap or expensive. We would say its cheap, cheaper then or cheapest. I am not from India.
Been living in India for 5 years, also originally from the UK (married to an Indian woman) and in general, junk food is cheaper in India, vegetables and spices tend to be cheaper in India, but a lot of the basic food stuff can actually be more expensive in India, different wage brackets also so even the stuff that are cheaper it actually works out that we gwt things far cheaper in the UK, for example average wage is considered £300 a month in India, compare that to our average wage in the UK definitely 4 or 5x the average wage in yhe UK most things arent 4 or 5x cheaper in India, but guess what is...? Soda, crisps etc... And yeah things like cabs, buses and trains are cheap here in India, why? Because the employees dont get a fair wage, the watchman of the apartment I live in actually told us his monthly pay is 10,000rs (£100), mine and my wifes mortgage on our apartment is £400 a month and its in a relatively cheap area of Mumbai, there's no chance half these people can afford a mortgage.
I agree and I should of been more clear. I was comparing to what I paid in UK. Property is overpriced in India. Imported products are also expensive. I will do another video on true comparison

Thank you so much. 😊😊🙏🙏I was comparing it to what I paid in UK. In Europe things are cheap or expensive. We would say its cheap, cheaper then or cheapest. I am not from India.
Well I think it really doesn’t matter !😅 Coz , the gdp per capita in india is merely 2500 $, whereas , in the UK , it is 47000$ 😅 So , on a short note , we earn less but we also spend less , whereas in the UK , people earn more but also spend more ! So it kinda neutralises the situation !😅
u have to take in purchasing power parity of rupees to $ ,its hovers around indian rupees25 to 1 USD. so a 10 USD priced shampoo bottle in the us would feel to an average indian consumer about Rs 250 (by the reductive method-exchange rate which is 82 rs to USD ,it would be 250/82 =3.04$ and 10 *82=Rs 820) and vice versa. by all these, I am trying to say that its not "cheap" for Indian consumers. exchange is about 82 rs to 1 USD ,but that does not say anything about the real situation, also nations in the 3rd world like India has to comply with these steeper rates bc of markets designed during colonialism and current day imperialism don the imperial peripheral nations(uneven trade between the imperial core and peripheral imperial nations through economic and sometimes direct military coercion as the imperial core nations had a headstart from colonialism and settler colonialism and chattle slavery) USA has a stronghold over global currency and trade relation by the help of the biggest leverage which is their gigantic genocidal imperial military industrial complex. for an extra context - 1 British pound sterling to IND rupees -Rs 102 1 British pound sterling to usd - 1.25 $
It has got nothing to do with cost of living UK doesn't produce a lot of agriculture and dairy goods like India. India is surplus state which is top producer in world for most dairy and agriculture products so prices are low

True Indian Government is trying best to control inflation Further Indians are also very hard working Effect of collective efforts Jai Hind Bharat mara ki Jai
Indian government is putting its nationals first and I am so proud that India is standing up to USA. We will not be bullied any more. This is India 🇮🇳👊
Production of food is surplus in INDIA that is why edible items are available at low cost . For example .... Samosha cost hardly 8-10 rs in India with very good taste . But it cost in europe around 800 /- rs in europe recently I have seen in youtuber blog . Low income in India because of less industrial establishments ,on other hand europe are tottaly industrial hub so they have high per capita income . We are working on industries in coming decade our per capita will improve surely . INDIA = Land of dreams .... हिन्दुस्तान एक ख्वाब है । We Indian make our dreams come true someday , have patience । जय हिन्द 🙏
In general India is far more cheaper especially if you know where you can get the best bargain. We are spoilt for choices. Edible Oil is more or less same priced probably because of high consumption in India. Few modern or imported items like variety of cheeses, pasta etc are expensive due to lack of competition in the market I believe. Traditional items are good priced. If u compare the price back in UK in stores like Aldi, Savers, poundland, sometimes Tesco too, they are bit comparable.. but India is always cheaper than M&S, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose....😊 u should try local shops too sometimes.. They are cheaper..
Don't bargain with poor in market. Malls are fine. And prices are low in India coz India is largest producer of almost all agricultural goods. As for as imported goods costing more, it's coz it's imported so expensive. There is no local substitute yet for many type of cheeses, coz consumption is not much. Once local start producing varies varieties of it, even those prices will come down.
Im living in US , i am an OIC citizen when i come india i show and go because of price rise now in Seattle , the same DOVE / L'oreal is having different components in US & India ( i too compared it as per the FT REPORT ) so dont get fooled everything has a price
. India is top producer of all agricultural and dairy products. Almost 1st, 2nd, 3rd in all foods so prices are low. Even if India has higher standard of living prices won't match UK coz we are producers of goods. And u are comparing a nation that colonised India for 200 yrs and made poor from rich to India which was poor when it got independence and now growing?

Funny enough I know this now. I used it to make pancakes and it’s good. I must try to make sabudanna

This video is a great illustration of the exact economic reason Britain wanted to colonize India. It got control over India’s near infinite labor force and arable land. Thus way it could maintain cheaper prices for the food and materials it imported from India.
That is the case for most of Asia and Africa. Europe and America still import cheap materials and cheap labour. Power is shifting to Asia. Asian countries need to increase the minimum wage down the line.🙏😊
1 was astonished to find that you can rent a good quality flat for 25000 INR (about £250) a month.
One could live quite comfortably on a state pension, currently £740 a month.

@@AgnesMann what!! Where r u living !! It's definitely not a flat then 😂😂😂
U cn rather stay in 3-4 star hotel which will cost u same.. 4-5k per day 😂..
So in inr it will be around 1,25,000 rupees.... My god thats too much. In 25-30 k you can easily get a decent flat.. may be you are living in a very posh area.

I always tend to support the smaller mom n pop shops vs the big marts.
We do too get our daily fruit and veg from the small shops down the street
Half of the price
When India is able produce almost everything in the country.... 😅 Obviously you will get affordable prices
YES i agree
It’s not what price the items are, its how much does a rupee buys compared to English pound. Rupees are a better value in India right now but this will change as India becomes more economically stronger.
Thank you so much. 😊😊🙏🙏I was comparing it to what I paid in UK. In Europe things are cheap or expensive. We would say its cheap, cheaper then or cheapest. I am not from India.
Sabudana is a tapioca which has been reshaped into little pearls. A lot of fun to eat especially in sweet syrups like payasam or faloodha.
Sounds great. I will give it a go when I see these dishes
Been living in India for 5 years, also originally from the UK (married to an Indian woman) and in general, junk food is cheaper in India, vegetables and spices tend to be cheaper in India, but a lot of the basic food stuff can actually be more expensive in India, different wage brackets also so even the stuff that are cheaper it actually works out that we gwt things far cheaper in the UK, for example average wage is considered £300 a month in India, compare that to our average wage in the UK definitely 4 or 5x the average wage in yhe UK most things arent 4 or 5x cheaper in India, but guess what is...? Soda, crisps etc... And yeah things like cabs, buses and trains are cheap here in India, why? Because the employees dont get a fair wage, the watchman of the apartment I live in actually told us his monthly pay is 10,000rs (£100), mine and my wifes mortgage on our apartment is £400 a month and its in a relatively cheap area of Mumbai, there's no chance half these people can afford a mortgage.
I agree and I should of been more clear. I was comparing to what I paid in UK.
Property is overpriced in India. Imported products are also expensive. I will do another video on true comparison
😢 UK has no more British people anymore
@@iesroo they do have majority of British people. Many people have British passports despite being born in none British families which makes the British no matter of their roots
@@iesroo 74.4% of everyone in Britain are White British if that's what you mean, If you count non whites aswell then 91% of everyone in the UK is British, yeah only 9% have immigrated or seeked asylum etc... quite a small number, don't worry were not even close to being overrun by non Brits even if you consider the current PM to be Non British, I mean the man's a complete douche and shouldn't be elected again, but he is technically British also since he was born in the UK.
Local grocery shops are much cheaper than the Indian super market. But a little bit hassle.But you are an Accountant so you must care each Indian rupees...
no. dmart is cheaper.
We went to smart bazar as well and kraftcart as well and prices are similar if not cheaper as you can larger packs so better value for money. Thanks
@@AgnesMann Life in UK getting worst due to cost of living
Nice to see you shopping and comparing prices; this is what we do in foreign countries during our visits
Thank you. Yes it’s always the case that when we go to foreign country we go to compare the prices. It’s only natural human behaviour
Everything is produced here, wheat is from punjab and my state andhra pradesh produces large amount of spices, so spices are available for rupees 10 in the local shop, in the super market costs more than 100 and you cant buy mutiple spice in small quantity.
Most of the stuff we get is very fresh as it’s locally sourced
Inspite of shopping apps like Swiggy , buying from a store is so much fun . !!!!
Yes I much prefer going for stroll down the aisles of shop thank online shopping especially when it comes to groceries

Some people have little time to roam from one shop to another for small items. Mall is the best option for them. Flipkart grocery is also providing most of the items used on a daily basis at comparatively lesser prices.
Otherwise local grocery shops will make you pay according to MRP.

Standards need to be compared based on PPP (Purchasing Power Parity).
India is ranked 3rd in PPP
I don't think that's the reason. India is top producer of all agricultural and dairy products. Almost 1st, 2nd, 3rd in all foods so prices are low.
👍

Welcome to India.
i hope you have great experience in India 😅..i have seen many white people(speacially amerians , i mean european americans,they are not natives for sure) criticizing India for poverty , dirt , pollution..may be beacuse they're not used to it..they have living in some high class luxury life..having proper meal.
whereas almost 60% Indians are still under poverty line and many are struggling to even have a meal of two times a day.
also for the dirt , indians are responsible themselves they clean their house but throw anything outside as if it's just government responsibility to clean it..but me as a indian i always try to not throw anything outside but only in dustbin.
Hope my generation will bring India fully out of poverty.♥

@@AgnesMann that's rude statement i think.
@@grudgex. why do you find this rude?
Dmart is one of the store chains where we can get a discount on products from MRP. All other super markets or shops sell them at MRP.
True we found the same
Well I think it really doesn’t matter !😅
Coz , the gdp per capita in india is merely 2500 $, whereas , in the UK , it is 47000$ 😅
So , on a short note , we earn less but we also spend less , whereas in the UK , people earn more but also spend more ! So it kinda neutralises the situation !😅
I was comparing from my point of view. It's cheaper for people moving from Europe. Now we also starting to find things here being expensive.
@@AgnesMann 👍🏻
Even if u go for local shopes.....definitely u will be 10 to 20 rupees less price...... for me dnart is also expensive compare to local...😀
Thank you so much. I will keep that in mind
We farmers produce everything you need
Respect to all farmers 😊🙏
u have to take in purchasing power parity of rupees to $ ,its hovers around indian rupees25 to 1 USD.
so a 10 USD priced shampoo bottle in the us would feel to an average indian consumer about Rs 250
(by the reductive method-exchange rate which is 82 rs to USD ,it would be 250/82 =3.04$ and 10 *82=Rs 820) and vice versa.
by all these, I am trying to say that its not "cheap" for Indian consumers.
exchange is about 82 rs to 1 USD ,but that does not say anything about the real situation,
also nations in the 3rd world like India has to comply with these steeper rates bc of markets designed during colonialism and current day imperialism don the imperial peripheral nations(uneven trade between the imperial core and peripheral imperial nations through economic and sometimes direct military coercion as the imperial core nations had a headstart from colonialism and settler colonialism and chattle slavery) USA has a stronghold over global currency and trade relation by the help of the biggest leverage which is their gigantic genocidal imperial military industrial complex.
for an extra context -
1 British pound sterling to IND rupees -Rs 102
1 British pound sterling to usd - 1.25 $
You are right. I was comparing to what I paid i UK 😊🙏
Can you please stop calling India pejoratively as third world? Are you even an Indian?
cost of living in India is also 200% cheaper than Dubai...
It has got nothing to do with cost of living UK doesn't produce a lot of agriculture and dairy goods like India. India is surplus state which is top producer in world for most dairy and agriculture products so prices are low
UK is suffering to feed its citizens at this point. Supermarkets running out of food
Affordable is the Most Suitable word

Hello.. lots of love from india.❤
Hey there! Thank you
@@AgnesMann well come.
Production of food is surplus in INDIA that is why edible items are available at low cost .
For example .... Samosha cost hardly 8-10 rs in India with very good taste .
But it cost in europe around 800 /- rs in europe recently I have seen in youtuber blog .
Low income in India because of less industrial establishments ,on other hand europe are tottaly industrial hub so they have high per capita income .
We are working on industries in coming decade our per capita will improve surely .
INDIA = Land of dreams ....
हिन्दुस्तान एक ख्वाब है ।
We Indian make our dreams come true someday , have patience ।
जय हिन्द 🙏
you are right. however many products here are of low quality
You should keep in mind avg family income of Indian and UK people before comparing price.
I agree, In UK there is higher wages at the same time every thing cost a lot . Our money goes long way in India.
In general India is far more cheaper especially if you know where you can get the best bargain. We are spoilt for choices. Edible Oil is more or less same priced probably because of high consumption in India. Few modern or imported items like variety of cheeses, pasta etc are expensive due to lack of competition in the market I believe. Traditional items are good priced. If u compare the price back in UK in stores like Aldi, Savers, poundland, sometimes Tesco too, they are bit comparable.. but India is always cheaper than M&S, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose....😊 u should try local shops too sometimes.. They are cheaper..
Don't bargain with poor in market. Malls are fine. And prices are low in India coz India is largest producer of almost all agricultural goods. As for as imported goods costing more, it's coz it's imported so expensive. There is no local substitute yet for many type of cheeses, coz consumption is not much. Once local start producing varies varieties of it, even those prices will come down.
Thank you so much 😊

Very informative analysis. Things may get still better in future.
thank you, for sure.
Now visit cooperative mart
😊👍
Let's compare stamdard of living on average and then see where the prices stand
. India is top producer of all agricultural and dairy products. Almost 1st, 2nd, 3rd in all foods so prices are low. Even if India has higher standard of living prices won't match UK coz we are producers of goods. And u are comparing a nation that colonised India for 200 yrs and made poor from rich to India which was poor when it got independence and now growing?
Standard of living in India is very High for many who have income over 1 lakh
