I have to say if I was living in Russia at this time and converting US dollars to Rubles, I could live like a King!!!! 😊
that's black market money exchange....... it's for russians who wants to travel to THE WEST, russians who DO NOT want to travel to the west, the ruble to usd, or ruble to euro exchagne don't matter, life in russia remains the same.
But you would have to live in Russia 😞
Huh? Makes no sense. @@kaleeysmith8801

@@kaleeysmith8801 I was in no way referencing the black-market exchange. You can go to exchange places all over Moscow and exchange foreign monies, and those are not black market.
We have a thing they call 'shrinkflation' here in the US. Sometimes the maker doesn't increase the price of the package, they just put less product in. A package of cookies I purchase once per week was US$1.00 before the virus, now the same package is US$1.75. Some bread rolls I buy was US$1.00 before, now US$1.25. 32oz bag of whole bean coffee was US$14.95, now is US$19.75.
I've seen other Russian youtubers talk about Shrinkflation and mention how rampant it is in Russia these days. There are even pics online.
The same thing exists in the UK. It's deceptive.
It's the same here in Australia. Everything's getting smaller. For example, items which come in air-filled packages contain more air than product.
Look at a candy bar for example, 1/3 the size it was 20 years ago and double the price, even when adjusted for inflation. Pretty soon, regular candy bars will just be bite size.
Ok sure size or even quality so let expensive to use less of a ingredient but ok Russia it comes down to over time imports or exports so if you import everything and only export little your already way behind and ok things like government or weapons those are not free so basically it's all debt and sure Russia it's funny ruble thinking it can increase its value just by putting a higher number and that fails and fails the longer you hide it so telling propaganda while sure is useful over time those population actually believes it so ok they eat more and go on without worrying or doing more so things that can fix it you have people doing nothing and sure they will have food for a while but when you lose imports bc no money and for Russia it will take a while bc they produce some just not enough so take like repopulation so some but not enough and when I say not enough they should be like five births for one loss right now
Svetlana, I always enjoy your "grocery store" tours. I do understand that Russian wages are so much lower than those in the West. However, if I were able to travel right now to Saint Petersburg and exchange my U.S. $ for rubles I would be buying quite a lot of the smoked salmon, marinated seafood and even some "kielbasa". The prices compared to what we pay in the States are extraordinarily much lower. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding week.

Comparison: In Canada, the cheapest I can get eggs is $6 per dozen. You get 30 for one fifth the price. The world sucks
All over The world food prices are going up the cost of living in Australia is nearly three times as much❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

in which time range?
Very true unfortunately

Cool, what's your income. I guarantee it's higher than that of the average Russian.
With or without..."sanctions" we are ALL in the same boat, when it comes to prices out of control, and unjustified increases the world over, especially when it comes to groceries and other basic staples with prices artificially blown way out of anything remotely resembling normality...Thank you Svetlana for this brief look on how Russia is impacted and affected by it all, in the real world...
@@THOMASHeffernan-xn2kv Even when making allowances for income discrepancies around the world, the trip to the store is not getting any cheaper for any of us, no matter where we live...Now, if you are here to represent the multinational Super Market chains, or even their local versions, then we really have nothing to talk about...
Ну у меня карман чуток просядет. Переживём, потом нормуль будет 👍🇷🇺
Well, it's not completely "unjustified". This is what happens when governments order people to stay home (needlessly) and then print trillions of dollars to pay them unemployment. It's economics 101. More dollars (trillions payed in "unemployment" benefits) chasing fewer goods (economies shut down around the world producing nothing to very little) = hyper inflation. It's going to be at least 5+ years til the supplies are back to pre-virus levels, if they ever do. It's likely to get worse still before it gets better.
But you must factor in the Russian lower average wage....
the more hard sanctions the better, let Russians become poor than they will not support Putin ( in Ukraine named Putler) anymore, Russia must stop the war, they started it
The more the ruble collapses, the cheaper the prices are in dollars.
everything is far far cheaper than even Aldi in the UK, btw I bought one bag of basics in Aldi this week compared to last year, same things cost £8, now they cost £13, crazy.
Pricing is similar in the USA I think a lie better prices in Russia.
The true difference is based on your salary/income and how much money you bring home versus how much you have to pay for food, gas, rent etc.
I like to look at it as a percentage of income to determine the real cost or the true prices based on what percentage we pay. So if you normally pay 10% of your salary for necessary items and suddenly now it’s 20% of your salary then that’s a real problem.
I do like the fact that even with sanctions that the government is trying to place on other countries/governments that the people become very resourceful, and still have the things they need to survive. Hopefully this will all resolve soon.
The prices don't look that bad if you have dollars, but what is the average wage in Russia in Rubbles?
It's about 300 EUR! 😬😅😅
800-1200$ in moscow
It depends on the region in Russia. A lot of people still have unofficial salaries they get to avoid taxation.
minimum 182 dollars per month avrege in retaiment pension 236 dollarrs per month avrege majority are starving
I keep thinking if the US Federal government can't borrow. any more money will the US collapse too. Stay safe. Svetlana.
Some of those things cost the same in the US, that's nuts to me when you consider the income difference.
What things? This stuff is so cheap compared to the US.
@@navyvet05 you need to compare their wages, to understand the difference. their average salary is around 500$
@@navyvet05 are you kidding? there is a lot of stuff nearly same price level, but their salaries are much less...and furthermore as she said...she now divided by 100 actual rate

I am sorry that your beautiful country is going through these difficulties. I am not a fan of war, but I work for the United States government. We do not see your people as bad people. I’m sorry, but we do not like your leader ship. The reason why the United States is such a strong country is because we are a country of many nationalities overall get along. We do have some hate groups here, but overall we all get along. I wish you the best, and I hope the outcome of this war comes to a peaceful resolution. You are very beautiful and I enjoy your content. I love seeing how other countries and cultures are. God bless you and thank you.
So I suppose invading and claiming other independent countries hasn’t had any advantages for Russia??? Good to hear. Stop complaining; at least you don’t have to sleep in a bomb shelter or come home to find that your apartment is a pile or rubble.
Some of the prices are about the same as here in Texas. Some are higher there. The whole world is feeling the pain. Prayers to everyone struggling with this financial mess.
wages are not the same
@@philippem5695 True, seems like wages of average Russian is one third of average Texan. So a bottle of olive oil would be like me paying $33. Here it is around $6. Even with the conversation, some are close. Others like the olive oil are way higher.
Lucky you! Prices in EU are 2x or 3x higher.
@@danielspoerle9657 I bet your light bill is through the roof compared to Russian light bills. How do I know? I'm from Texas also.
I would gladly pay these prices thats how bad the prices are where i live
Prices seem cheap to an outsider but what locals can afford is a different matter. Great video. Can you compare restaurant menus for dining out prices? You don't have to eat there just show the prices.
Exactly! When you earn very little, and everything is more expensive, you just get less. I'm so glad I know how to cook for myself, or I'd be in trouble.
@@dsa2591cooking is very easy .I just watch some youtube video for a recepy .
Michael what you are asking is not an easy task and resraurants are not popular in Russia. its all depends if you want to eat or need a place to meet with someone. a cup of tea can start from 0.5$ to 2.50$+ in luxury places. salads 1$-5$, meat 2.5$-50$+ and so on. for me eating at restaurants is a waste of time AND its VERY, VERY pricey. for tourists not so much. I can buy a salmon meat 10$ for 1 kg, same money I would spend for 200-300g at a local restaurant, same goes with a beef meat its x4-5+ times the price I can buy it and cook it myself. if you want to visit Russia while staying in a hotel or rent an apartment (which is popular) prices to feed your self are fine. beware of girls that want to dine with you, that can take you to a certain place (they choose) and you may end up to pay a huge check at the end for nothnig
Outside the Moscow and a few big cities the average wage is about $250 at the rate of 100 rubles per $1. So you can understand the real shit that is happening. However there would not be a riot against shitty life because most of russians are used to be in this conditions.
@@mrbasfed1948in Russia you can afford a lot more things for 250 $ than in the US. It's always inetresting to see Americans commenting here about how bad life in Russia is while the majority of them don't even have heath insurance. Russia has better standards of living than the US now. It is just the oeculiar insular view of Russia hat the westerners are stuck in now that prevents them from seeing things clearly.
Greatings from Serbia. I can say, prices in Russia are simmilar to prices in Serbia, biger cities.
The Russian citizens need your president to fallback
it seems sanctions are not having much impact, I trust prices will increase much more...
We have high inflation here too in the USA . Oil and gas has doubled in the last year making our electricity prices very high. My electric bill was almost double from the same time last year. Petrol here is very high. Groceries for me are up by 30% to 50% in the last 18 months.
Petrol is not high. It was just too cheap previously 🤣. In provincial Russia people can work for about 200 euro (USD). How much fckn petrol can they buy even if it would cost 50 cents. I am not telling that they wouldnt afford a car.
Visit the small expensive little stores. The inflation doesn't hit there. If you going to pay more at least get better.
Как так вроде не давно Байден сказал что никакой инфляции там нету ,и он типа поднял Америку с колен!
В США очень высокая инфляция. Байден - нелепый бандит. Стоимость еды здесь выросла на 30%, жилья - на 150%, бензина - на 125%. @@iuramelinik3261 English: There is lots of inflation in the USA. Biden is a ridiculous thug. Cost of food here is up 30%, housing is up 150%, and gasoline is up 125%.
Compared with Canada some things are much cheaper, while other things are about the same. I think you are right that there will be massive price increases coming.
with current exchange rate, russian avg salary is somewhere round 400$ a month, outside of moscov and st pete there are many people living on 200$ a month
Yes but even with full time minimum wage in Canada you will receive at least $1,700 or more per month AFTER taxes, on minimum wage. And most people will have other benefits.
So if prices are mostly similar, than it means Russians cost of living is higher.
@@j2174 what about rent? rents are around $2500/month for a two bedroom? while most russians own their apartments.
@@connieb.6061 “The share of Russians who own an apartment or a house is relatively high and amounts to about 54 percent. About 11 percent reside in a rented apartment or house. The rest live with their relatives or friends.”
“As of 2021, approximately 63.6% of Canadian households own their homes.”
@@j2174 Because they included foreign ownership, which is high in Canada, the data is skewed. Additionally, home prices are at an all-time high.
Always fascinating to see prices. Similar or less than the UK. Be interesting to revisit the stores in a couple of months. Many thanks.
Not similar to the U.K. at all. The prices in this video are much lower
Okey for checking of rememberin it wright the united kingdom and great britane are not ivolving the same country parts.... And ireland is not part of great britan or the united kingdom ... Am i right ?
I'm in the UK and I think the prices for most of the items are pretty similar (in dollar terms)
Sure, you should compare those prices to the GROSS average income in Russia that is around 1000$ per month. In the UK is something 4000$.

It is hard for people in the West to relate . For instance the average household income in the Toronto region for a year is equivalent to 6,813,439 Rubles or 567,786 Rubles a month . We would all be rich .Looking at Canada's richest city Wood Buffalo the average household income would come to 12,513,667 Rubles or 1,042,805 Rubles per month .And in Toronto you can just get by on that much .
Toronto is a leftist s h I t h o l e that needs a wall to contain all the animals living in it.
For you, maybe, But for the poor here in the West, it's not that difficult.
That amount of money is just an illusion if you "just get by". I think the living standards in Moscow are higher, all things considered.
Just getting by for us would be luxury lifestyle for Russians. .@@loksterization 😀
The prices are crazy if you have only 100 $ a week!
Congratz for the Moon Landing ! USSR Powwaaa ! :D
Russia is not alone, when it comes to inflation.
Here in California, since the war, doubled or tripled, energy, food, rent etc..
In my area to rent a room cost $1000.
Government keep raising interest rates to curb inflation, but it effects home owners who pays mortgages, adds to cost of living big time.
Those Russian prices are cheap compared to the food prices we have here.
Hang on, it's tough all over.

kielbasa is usually called Polish sausage in the States, although I guess most people would know what kielbasa is, just like pierogies. I took a Med cruise in Europe this year just recently, and I saw kielbasa type sausages in many places in Italy, Greece, or Spain, so it seems to be popular in Europr too. I mean the whole kielbasa thing, not cold cuts. To me, as someone living in California, those prices are very low. I am also surprised at how nice most of your grocery products look like. The selection seems to be quite good as well. I just wonder what a "baked milk" is. 🙂
A dairy product that is made from whole milk by boiling it and then heating it evenly for a long time.
Russian Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian cuisine is a traditional dish that was cooked in a Russian oven. Among the Turkic peoples, katyk is made from an analogue of melted milk.
The product has a beige color, a characteristic smell and taste. Melted milk is well stored, it does not sour longer in comparison with whole or boiled milk. There is consumed mainly in the form of a drink. It is also used for making varenets, fermented baked goods and in cooking (cookies, pies, creams).
In Estonia the dewberries have gone cheaper, 3274 rubbles per 1 Kg. In winter they were 4265 rubbles, that's about 30 rubbles for 1 berry.

@@MrLelo80
When I visited Germany last year, I brought home a big bag of food, because Germany food was cheaper and of better quality than Hungarian food. In addition, the German minimum wage is four times the Hungarian minimum wage.
Yes because Victor Orban is a crazy person and refuses to follow EU guidelines so the central bank rates your country low. The lower rating means the people of Hungary pay higher interest on borrowed money.
we are being punished my friend for not taking the rainbow train...
I am sure the US dollar will be coming down soon as well. Food prices on average have increased at least 30%. I have noticed cooking oil has gone up in the US too. It was around $4.00, now it is $9.00 last time I bought it. It frustrates me how our governments like to play their games when the regular people like you and me are just trying to exist and be happy. Take care, I hope everything in Russia stabilizes, I'm sure the ruble will come back like it has in the past. Maybe put aside some rubles if you can and they might be worth more in the future.
Or they might be worth next to nothing! 😬
Acuually,, Russia is vey stable and the move by the Central bank lowered commodity prices paid in foreign currencies. As the world economy keeps slowing down, it allows Russia to lower commodity prices to gain market share. Russians still have the same buying power, prices only will increase on foreign luxury goods which are not allowed to be shipped to Russia anyway due to sanctions that are harming only the collective west. 100 rubles buys the same food and essentials regardless of the foreign value of the currency, due to Russia being the most insulated country from the western crash hat is expected Europe and North American have serious problems approaching. It is a smart move by the excellent head of the Central Bank and to freeze it they increased the interest rate 3.5%
We pay $10- Cdn for a flat of 30 eggs here, so even if the price goes up a lill, it's still much cheaper in Russia. Thanks for the update Svetlana..

Cheaper than US prices by a long shot. That's is compared to national average income.
The average hourly wage in Russia is 600 RUB or USD 7.15 (US Dollars), and the minimum wage is 16,242 RUB per month (USD 194). Russia has a median salary of 94,900 RUB per month (USD 1,130).

Hi Svetlana!
No, the prices in the store there are pretty equivalent to prices here. Our prices have been going up a lot ever since the pandemic hit and they seem to still be going up from month to month.
I think, logically, you will mainly see prices for imported goods are the ones that would mainly be affected by the change in the Ruble.
What may cause prices to go up on goods grown or made in Russia would be inflation.
If the Ruble continues to fall, that could contribute to higher food prices then.
Sorry to hear you are now living alone.
I and my ex split up a few years ago after almost 20 years. We had just grown apart and that happens.
I will write you about a young lady in Southern Russia that makes a living selling her own home made soaps and skin care products.
You two would benefit if you did wind up selling her products to people you know, much cheaper than imports, and splitting the profits.

Relative prices don't mean as much as the amount of time you need to work to afford similar things. Even here in the US there is a large difference in the cost of living in different areas not just in housing but also things like grocery prices or a fast foot burger.
Hello I’ve always enjoyed your videos it lets me see what’s happening around the world. Being an American when you say you spend $10 on groceries I’m like what?! I spend $125 every 2 weeks. The 1000 rubbles you said was $10 is crazy because that what I spend on lunch 3-4 times a week. Thank you for sharing.
I am pretty sure this whole Rubles dropping thing is more economic sabotage by globalists only not having effect they are hoping for.
you buy for the future, and we buy every day, after work.. We don't eat fast food mostly, but we cook food.

From what I've seen prices in Russia are about 1/5 of the USA, but incomes are 1/10. So, in effect, everything is twice as expensive for Russians versus for Americans.
We do have a lot of different sausage names or brands..possibly because sausages are a lot like bratwurst..and a lot f Germans came to the USA a hundred years ago.. most of the jars of mayonnaise are about 32 ounces..candy bars like snickers.. are about 59 cents to 89 cents..you should take a trip to the United States..to experience a different lifestyle..when fruit is out of season..fruit comes from Costa Rica..but usually Florida and California are usually always warm enough to grow anything..
Overall Russian prices are about 3-7 times less expensive then California, depending on the product especially the kielbasas price difference is huge. On average comparing income in California 3-7 times larger after you could federal income tax and California tax that about 25% so overall living in Russia is easer. After you include all other California expenses like gas prices, our public transportation system is horrible sidewalk are not even considered in many places or just don't exist you have to own a car, property tax or overpriced rent cost plus all the bs tax like pollution tax and fees and taxes that they pull out of mid-air like fees for sewage maintenance and electrical transmission and environmental fees. Everything adds up to about 10 more percent of your paycheck. And nds purchase tax 10% , so realistically after considering holder BS expenses from California Living in Russia now is about 30-40% easier. To be about equal someone in California needs to make at least $8500 to live like a Russian that makes $1000.
Just consider to go to work and get around I spend about $1000 a month just to work.
Getting closer to the prices I pay in Minnesota. I'm very curious to see if those prices will increase dramatically in the next 2-4 weeks. thanks and hugs and kisses from Minnesota :-)
Of course what is imported.
Prices of made in ru may not rise up so much
They will not even rise dude. Russia don't care much of dollar, you will be laughing but even contact lenses I buy from Ireland are the same with 50 or 100 roubles per dollar. Ruble didn't even collapse, its a plan of central bank lol. Now they will kick out ukranian grain and take all markets. Ruble is based on huge resourses, USD on air carries which can sunk quickly once those assholes will start a war with China.
You look lovely with your hair returning to its natural blonde: Hair Goddess! ❤ Its always a pleasure to hear from you.
I understand that there was likely some inventory and retailers are not automatically pushing up prices but are selling fairly based on what the inventory costs were. That is surprisingly honest of them. I'd like to see prices after the currency devaluation has been factored in. Maybe comparing the same items in a month or two?

High inflation is around the world…wait till you get to Turkey.
Olive oil prices up due to drought (eg Spain).
Russia’s high inflation more to do with the invasion of Ukraine, otherwise probably around 10% annual inflation.
Anything imported, will be very expensive. The value of the ruble was about 38 to one dollar before 2014, Ordinary Russians are paying a high price for one mans descissions.
Thank you Svetlana for your very informative video; that package of Salami is about the same size as what I bought at Aldi here in the States which is about .45 kilograms. The price was 6.59. Over 6 thousand Rubles. It's incredible that it would have cost me 70 cents! Your Coffee low end brand is even cheaper. The average cost for Coffee here is about 6 dollars for even lower end brands. But I have noticed there are just some things I can't get anymore.
Your earning would also be much different in Russia. 6 dollar is 600 , not 6000 rubles
Who is complete God?
Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok.
God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊

The food prices in the United States I can tell you are still at an all-time high, as a benchmark $100 at a similar store in the United States will only get you a few cans a few box food items that aren’t great in terms of flavor or taste, but literally won’t last but three or four days for maybe one or two people let alone a family
What are you talking about? In Russia, people don't even have money enough for food, because the salary is 150-200$, because despite the rich resources, all this belongs to a handful of people. But keep believing in Putin's fairy tales
It’s definitely cheaper than the U.K. but then again I’m a working class guy who does a basic job and I take home about 2500 USD a month
In america we pay $25 for formula, $6-$20 for coffee, considering Russia at war and under sanctions, doing better than us!
Thanks for the update. I am glad that your food has not increased much. In the USA the food is constantly going up. 10 to 20 % per year maybe more....its noticeable
Most food in Russia is not imported, so the conversion rate will have little effect. Here in the US, there are a lot of problems with food factories (like fires and explosions - a LOT) so even domestic food prices have risen a lot. Manufactured scarcity.

Today i was shoping in a mid price chain store in Norway. I notice how much of the groceries is simular. The fish section is very simular. I noticed the varity of tomatos you have in your store. Many countrys in the vest have not so many types of tomatos too choose from. Moust of the tomatoes we use come from Spain and Italy. They have had a lot of problems with weather. Egg prices is not so big diffrent. Witch is crazy! And the chiken price is way too high.
Choice in Russian stores today is huuuuge compared to the West. They try to compensate for the Soviet days I guess, when you had to stand in the row for 1 type of article or brand, if it was in stock, that is...
Definitely not the case in Australia....just about any tomato variety you can think of all locally grown. 👍

Brilliant video. The prices are unbelievably low, and I don't think that they will go much higher in coming days and months simply because most of the food has been produced in Russia. Russia is self-sufficient in about all of the home consumption, so no worries there 😉 👍

The wages are also unbelievably low..
cheap low prices go with low wages. What appears expensive to your eyes seems inexpensive from my perspective. Comparing two similar oranges after economics is like comparing lemons and limes. None of the data points aligned with each other, your milk is white but our milk is white, but the life story of the cows are in stark contrast to one another and looking similar what's in the glass, not the same thing at all. Russian soldiers on the Frontline reportedly have nothing to eat, the world is desperate for the wheat Supply, critical shortages and none, have Nations starving, Reliant upon the Imports. Note the many restrictions the state of India has placed upon exports of wheat, rice, and now onions. The price you pay at the store and what it's worth seemingly is not based on anything in reality, for what is money really worth if your rent doubles overnight with people clamoring to rent it, seemingly you're paying twice as much as what you think it is worth, and no pay raise. It's time to move on. Economic prophets of money recommend investing in gold and silver, 10 X the actual available, traded daily between speculators, won't buy a slice of bread if the bakery is closed. The empty Vault where they store the faux gold doesn't exist either, plus monthly fees for storage and management, golden paper is merely management fees buying someone else a yacht. The zaporizhzhya power plant is packed with Russian trucks filled with explosives, no Liquidators like Chernobyl will come. So many special operatives dug trenches at Chernobyl, now abandoned by the Russians, the red Forest an ignored warning sign. Ukrainian cities turned into Rubble, how many rubles is that worth? After WWII the West re-educated the Germans and the Japanese with peace and prosperity that followed. Russians were not exposed to that, and with the corruption that follows Russians cannot express their true feelings any longer, their words prescribed by the state, and any protest can take you to the front where the meat grinder continues the horrific cast of War upon the entire world that is hungry and cut off from food, innocent any crime but hunger. Both sides still winning battles of attrition, no compromise or ending in the forecast. And the Chinese floods and Locust add to the misery heaped upon the world 8 billion Souls and all that God created, men have plans. The unforgivable sin it's the extinction of the planet, no matter how wonderful your underground Paradise to hunker down for the next 1000 years. Stock up your pantry while the expensive prices re-main cheap because when the store is empty you'll be eating gold and silver bars instead of Hershey bars, no longer available at any price.

What about rent? Has it spiked or remained the same? And employee pay? It would be interesting to see all of that because those are all factors too.
Wow I’m surprised you actually said war instead of special military operation. Hope nothing happens to your channel. It’s very informative
Rent will be increasing in line with interest rates.
nothing happens to people in russia dude. Stop watching western news. You can openly say war and no one cares. This also isn't that bad of a hit. Ruble was 85 before sanctions and SMO.
Don't worry here in the US we have the same problems, with Joe biden in charge everything on the shelves in the supermarket have skyrocketed.
Even with the excavnge rates its super cheap there. Bacon is like $7 a pound of you're lucky.
The Ruble will drop by half for each year this war with Ukraine continues. So if this war continues for another 10 years, that means that the cost of food will be 2^10 = 1024 times what it costs now.
The so-called "budget" supermarkets in Russia have almost identical products like here in your everyday European supermarket. The eggs and bread are surrealistically low in price (don't know how the chickens make a profit out of it), but here we prefer bread that is freshly baked and not some spongy thing wrapped in a plastic bag. Prices for bread here have gone up 50% since the "Covid" & "SMO" from around 2 euro to 3 euro.
Freshly baked bakery bread is about 68 rubles in Russia, or about 68 cents US. In the US, a loaf of bakery bread is around $5.00 and up.
And u are where?

Bird flu really affected egg prices last year....
I'm shocked how cheap your eggs are! 😱 I remember that during winter period (from November to February), a 10 pack of eggs used to cost 2.89 euros or a 30 pack, a staggering 7.59 euros or roughly 8.40 USD. That's almost 5 times more expensive than Russian eggs. By the way, I'm from Slovakia.
Here in Iowa I pay less for eggs than in Russia...just bought a dozen for $1.49 and 18 go for about $1.89...
Welcome to Russia, mate!
you didnt watch the video did you @@lornewazny7152
And you probably make 10 times as much as the average russian...
I see comments like this and think, "Don't folks know Russians make 1/5 of the American salary?" To get a real cost, multiply by 5. It's why you never see people buy huge shopping carts of food - only a few items,
I saw another video from Russia explaining cost at groceries after crash and it didn’t look too bad. I mean it’s bad, but the cost is pretty much the same in North America. I guess like what you said, when the old inventory runs out and the store needs to restock.
Difference is, that average monthly income in North America is 3-5 times higher than in russia...
@@r4dio4ctiv3man9Difference is everything is Russia is much cheaper .Food , energy and housing . American wages are poor . Most people need two or three jobs to survive
Poverty in Russia 15% . Poverty in America 14%. 39% in some states. Household debt in America is 17.3 trillion dollars . 78% of gdp
Credit card debt one trillion student debt one trillion. You are bankrupt . If the wages are so high why the need for such debt

Russia is still cheap in comparison with the Netherlands which is at least 20 to 30% higher , people close to the border regions do their shopping in Germany because it's way cheaper out there! And even the media is admitting that the supermarkets and the food
manufacturers are making big profits. And they blame the high prices on Russia and the war in Ukraine!
Still, everything is cheaper than in the US.( but I don’t know the prices now)
Thanks for the info. Just be glad you’re in Russia. Our disposable income has been falling for many decades. Prices are out of control in the U.S. Our government doesn’t care.
Most of our money is created out of thin air by local banks, and the 2.3 trillion that is created by the government is taxed by the banks because it is they who buy all the government treasuries. Of all the 4000 universities and colleges in the USA not one will teach you how the actually create this money. You have to read the actual research on money creation
The prices seem to be pretty reasonable right now. It would nice to see what they are like in a month or two. Take Care!
WRONG. TO RUSSIANS IT IS VERY EXSPENSIVE AS THEIR INCOME IS WAY DOWN.
Still so much cheaper than my country Greece where prices have almost doubled. Feta cheese used to be about 8€ per kilo. Now it is about 12€ or 13€ or even 16 € per kilo when it is on sale ! Chocolate bars are around 1,60€ here. Our PM is killing us...with his "love"... !😢
Yes but in Greece we have freedom and democracy. We have fair elections. Very different than Russia!

Since Putin came to power the value of the Ruble has fallen 400%. One thing about Communism is that everyone gets to be miserable together.
No matter if products are made in Russia if you have one stock with a value of 100 rubles, and before selling it stock the ruble lost value, you will not recover your investment if the price is kept. If stores start losing money they will go to bankruptcy. If the prices rise and the government does not start raising salaries, people lose the amount of goods they can get. Has been raised pension in Russia? Has Putin raised the salary of the soldiers in Russia?
Hi Svetlana, 👋 Question for you or anyone else what do the stores do with expired food? Here in the US, they donate it to food banks. In some cities, the restaurants donate to soup kitchens. On average our grocery prices are double or more on most products maybe more on some items.
That is a good question. I am in California. Food bank is true also there is this: a lot of expired food gets thrown a way although that is happening less and less because there are some stores that specialized in discontented items, overstocked and near or expired food items that they sell at a bargain.
They dump them. That's what Russia did when they banned certain foods from Europe (in 2018). Even filmed it and aired it on TV. No donations, no food banks, just a landfill.
In the UK recently it’s food banks but they still dump more than they give to food banks…
Hi, last week I bought sausages with a 40% discount. There was one week left before the expiration date.
Be Holy as God is Holy everyone.Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God. Everyone have an expiration date and this world have an expiration date.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for, depart from worldliness everyone. It's NOT about religion/denomination, it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ by praying everyday, reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel, While you are still alive repent of all of your sins and be born again. Rapture is imminent, do not be left behind. Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, get yourselves ready. This WORLD is TEMPORARY and HEAVEN is PERMANENT, Choose wisely everyone.,
I like how health conscious you are with food.
The warning we are hearing, is that food shortages are on the way. For example, you can expect rice to be much higher in the near future.
In my country, we make a tremendous amount of food, but it is sold to the highest bidder. This makes them rich both ways, by selling to foreign countries and shorting our supply at home, which guarantees prices stay higher than they should be.
You should buy extra food and supplies if you have the money to do so. I reside in a food secure country and I still have a year's worth of food, vitamins, toilet paper and lots of camping gear. The economies around the world are slowing down and a very painful recession is forecasted. I think it will metastisize into a full depression.
Big 🤠🤗
In the Ukraine families are sleeping in subways on the floor. Scared for their lives. They don’t care about your grocery price changes.
Back then people in Western and Central Ukraine were cheering when the "president" said about us (people of Donetsk and Lugansk) "their children will sit in basements" just because we haven't approved of the coup, happening in Kiev. So... now it's their turn, and why should anyone care about their feelings?
Shes got nothing to do with that! Shes doing her thing get a life and find something to do besides harrasing innocent people
Prices to me look rediculous cheap in comparison to our NZ prices for groceries. However incomes, salaries are much lower in Russia. On the other hand in Russia schools, medical care, rents etc are free. At the end of the day probably the east and west the same, I guess.
Overall Russians are in for some inflation shocks later this year as the stock of these items are sold out and they have to be replaced with much higher priced items. Eggs are now cheaper here in Iowa but most other items are slightly lower in price than in the US. However, cheeses are about the same as are fruit and vegetables. The largest difference is that the average (median) salary in the US is eight to ten times more in the US than Russia. An Russian Agricultural Minister that was facing conscription recently defected to the US and is now making as much or more than as a US truck driver as he did as a high level government official in Russia.
Welcome to India.
Actually prices seem reasonable when compared to the USA, BUT retired pay in the USA is 4 to 5 times higher than a Russian pension SO in that case prices are quite high, and will go much higher as the ruble devalues. Thanks for the grocery tour and will be looking forward to the update.
the dude ran out of his reserve fund with expensive event so he is printing money why the currency weakening so fast. only gonna get worse as he has to print money cuz the dude cant get loans and the budget deficit growing each month. he could raise interest rates like they have in a month like from 4 to 12 percent but all that is gonna do is kill off the rest of the economy causing more of a deficit.

That’s what happens when your country illegally invades a independent that shows no threat which exports food all over the world, so Russia has a large blame for all the food increases. Also one of the largest producer of cooking oils in Ukraine.
Prices are not that much different from USA, some are lower, some higher. But not too much difference. What is the Russian Central Bank current Prime Interest Rate? Is their discussion to raise the Interest Rate to strengthen the Ruble?
I was in Moscow in July when 1 dollar was about 90 Rubles and the prices were almost similar to that of India in a couple of Magnit stores.
However alcohol and cigarettes and cab fares are much cheaper in Russia than in India
Vodka used to be a currency over the past centuries, to keep the plebs complying with whatever the rulers threw at them. Search for the info. That is mostly the reason why alcoholism is so rampant in RuSSia nowadays. Drunken nation is an obedient nation.
