Well, I certainly would not buy the cakes, lol. I would bake my own for those prices. Plus they did not look fresh or tasty. The cheese seems way overpriced. Cheese is usually six to thirteen dollars a pound depending on type. Brie is too fatty so I don't really know our prices offhand. Parmesan is about thirteen or fourteen dollars a pound, feta five dollars a half pound, swiss about eight a pound; same for Cheddar. Swiss and Cheddar often go on sale. And our salaries are a lot higher but housing is extremely expensive in my area.
Nice to see a French supermarket chain IN RUSSIA! ❤😊 If I ever go to Auchamp/Auchán here, Imma make sure I suport them! Have a nice day... AND GOD BLESS YOU!❤
It’s so funny talking about vegetarian, now more and more people becomes carnivore. I was 15 years vegetarian and became sick so now I am almost 2 years carnivore and I feel so much better.
If anyone says "This is cheap", just remind yourself that it's cheap with your WESTERN money, and Russians earn on average $400 USD a month. Now it's not so cheap anymore
I think a good comparison is how long an unskilled worker has to work for a certain product in the respective countries. In Russia, it's roughly one hour's work for a bar of chocolate for an unskilled low-wage worker. In Germany, it takes 8 minutes to make one bar of chocolate. The same applies to other products such as strawberries, butter and others
Not only that. Dollar is equal as euro as it grew in price. That means that importing things from US is more expensive for Russia. So growth of dollar grew while ruble worth declines, making things more expensive.
Russian state pension is 20,800 Rubles which is £167 per month. The UK state pension is 119,161 Rubles which is £957 per month. 5.7 times higher income.
Girl don't worry about how other people think. Please eat meat as you desire. be happy with yourself is more important in this world of uncertainty. live and be happy )))

*You have to bear in mind that the AVERAGE PENSION in Russia in 2024 is only € 240 = 258 US $ -- and the average SALARY is 670 € = 720 US $.* General inflation in Russia rose very significantly to around 9% in the second half of 2024. *The central bank has therefore raised the key interest rate to an incredible 21%!* This in turn is a disaster for investments, which are falling sharply. The decline in newly started construction projects is over 50%!
Russians are not suffering like the Ukrainians, but the war is affecting the citizens. I guess the West figured the people would rise up, but no one is going to rise up if the slightest protest lands you in the gulag for many years.
Agreed. A lot of Russian supermarket vloggers are talking about Western sanctions on food. There are no Western sanctions on food or animal feed. Some brands left because of the Russian governments invásion of a sourveign state but it wasn't inforced by international decree.
thanks for the upload. it is good to be able to compare prices and see what is available . i don`t understand why people criticize and leave rude comments. i think you have to be very thick skinned to operate a youtube channel. best wishes from the UK.
Hi Natasha! I love this type of content because it’s very informative and we can compare the differences and prices between our countries while under sanctions. Enjoyed the Auchan store tour and as always, you look wonderful! God bless you.🙏🏻
Yeah, come and see the prices we are now having to pay for the very basic everyday food price's, with six medium egg's costing £2.60. A branded loaf of white bread at £1.80; in Scotland a basic litre bottle of vodka is £25.00; four 500ml of lager is £6.50? Ain't nothing cheap anymore here, especially as you pay tax and Levys on everything you buy..
@michaelparkin6974 The average salary can be 20 x more than in Russia, with the basic cost of living 50 x more than Russia. We have has suffered the worse ever recorded, in fact the first ever recorded retraction of it's citizen's post war standard of living in 325 year's, under the Tories. With the standard of living having retracted by over 35%, from May, 2010 to May, 2024; and it isn't going to get any better soon..
Russian state pension is 20,800 Rubles which is £167 per month. The UK state pension is 119,161 Rubles which is £957 per month. Why did this kind of thing need to be explained to you? why did you not already grasp that pensions and average wages in the UK is 6 to 7 times higher than Russia? Go on, tell me why something this basic needed explaining cos it genuinely blows my flipping mind. Don't pretend to know facts and figures go and find them actually out, British prices are not higher than Russian, when you do the exchange rates and calculate average wage difference British food and other goods is astronomically cheaper. Don't guess stuff to suit your bias angry opinion, go and actually fact check and do the maths.
In the West we have been living under horrible sanctions for the better part of the last 40 years! And it's largely self-imposed by the average citizen, who is typically an ill-informed DUMMY🤪🤤🤤🤤 who is easily manipulated by those doing the sanctioning to them! Namely, the very rich along with large multinational WHOREpoRATions who donate $1 to a political party 🥳🎉 (A criminal gang of two-faced liars who've aced master-classes in acting🐂🤗💩😎) & in return get a MINIMUM of $1000 in WHOREpoRATe Welfare SCAM payouts, tax relief on what miniscule tax they have to pay despite their criminal accounting games of offshore tax haven headquarter relocations & using every loophole in tax law that their lobbyists in the halls of EVERY level of government have asked for. We're told BALD-FACED LIES about how this tax relief for the wealthy spurs our decaying economies by promoting business activities & investments. If by that you understand them to be talking in their code about unbridled residential real-estate speculation & forming ever-larger monopolies to further limit consumer choice & allow for rampant price gouging, then, YES.🤑👹🤥🤣🤣🤣😂 Then these same MAFIA GANGSTERS who start wars with other MAFIA GANGSTERS in turf wars fueled by their satanic greed & lust for TOTAL POWER, & expect the very people that they SCREW 🪛 every day as much as is (in)humanly possible to go & do the fighting, & especially the dying, FOR THEM!👹😙💰💰💰🤗😎 I am, OF COURSE, referring to Income Inequality & the way the Elites have doubled down on making it worse, instead of letting up a bit in the face of growing civilian anger. And THE DUMMIES & 🐑🐑🐑le eat up the 🐂💩 hatred & lies they feed us to keep us distracted & stupid, and they believe it!🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡🤤🤤🤤🤦
Except for alcoholl, pasta and maybe meat, these prices are comparable to Paris suburbs (avg monthly salary $3K). Brie cheese at $17/kg is just robbery.
Auchan is in France, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Portugal, Senegal, Ivory Coast, as Alcampo in Spain, as Aшан (Ashan) in Russia, Ukraine and Tajikistan !
At least your alcohol is cheap! A bottle of liquor in Canada will cost you 40$ min, and a 12 pack of beer anywhere from 25-40$ Depending what province you live in!
If food prices rise sharply, how can there be room to sell Christmas stuff? There must be things in Russia that are cheaper than they are in Sweden. In Sweden, 1 kg of butter costs 9 dollars, and 1 liter of vodka costs 40 dollars. I fill my car with butter and drive to the Finnish-Russian border. I throw packets of butter over the border. On the other side of the border, a Russian stands and throws things that are expensive in my country. It cannot be counted as illegal Export and Import, when the butter package left my hand it was still in Finland.
Natasha, interesting video on food stores. I heard Ashan might pull out of Russia because of money issues. Don't know if it's true. Eating meat is fine for protein and you are slim and active so you're fine. Take care and bless you.

@@АНДРЕЙ3500 You clearly don't know how things work, you can't just always step in and take over somewhere, there needs to be someone willing and able to purchase the stores and store contents, then they need to be able to keep the same suppliers or find new ones and also be able to retain the employees which would require enough capital in advance to pay their wages.

Hey, Soviet Champagne! I had that stuff when I was in Minsk. I'll have to try Russian mayonaise someday. I guess the Russian salad dressing they sell here is nothing like anything over there. I like Russian shopping prices videos. If you're taking requests, I like the cheap stores.
Thank you so much for posting another of your wonderful videos Natasha. I always love to hear from you. Maybe everything will change for the better soon, now there is a new President in the US. Putin and Trump seemed to get on well together the last time he was in. It didn't take long, after he left office, for East-West relations to break down and the world economy to be plunged into chaos, a matter of months.
I look at other vlogs from Russia and I see these prices that are super low from an EU perspective! I can’t get the big picture because I don’t know how much people make, I don’t know where they live (but you have told us!) Some things feel contradictory, a beautiful girl I follow she talks about how expensive things are, but now she will travel to Bali for two weeks. Most people where I live can’t make such a trip because of the high price of rent, food and other necessities. So I get more confused the more vids I look at. Maybe Russia is confusing like the doll that contains a doll that contains a doll…
Are you from Scandinavia? Prices there are very high comparing to other parts of EU. Russian prices are high comparing to salaries. But vodka is cheap. Which makes sense, because it's easier to govern drunk people.
@ Hi! Yes that is true, in Sweden we have a few big food chains that keep prices artificially high. On the other hand we have very high prices on alcohol that is what makes swedes so unruly!😄
I am from the UK and I eat meat every day, if I don't have a meal with meat in a day it feels like I haven't eat, its a free world and do what you like, don't let others tell you what to do
Thanks for posting your everyday life experiences from Russia. Don’t worry too much about people giving you advice on diet or data. There are other TH-cam channels for that 🤷🏻♂
That pasta is a lot cheaper than here. I remember paying those prices over 10 years ago. But yes, groceries must be very expensive on southern Russian salaries.
The average Russian income is a fraction of western incomes, so comparing Russian prices directly with western prices doesn't accurately reflect purchasing power. Russians in major cities don't have it so bad, but once you get out things can go downhill very quickly.
and the butter???..as an Italian, Barilla pasta is the poorest and drawn with Teflon and not bronze, it loses its hold during cooking.. and also the one that costs the least in our supermarkets
Hi Natasha, Nice to see you again, you are so pretty. And of course your voice is so very feminine. The prices you are showing are fairly close to the same as I see here in Michigan, U.S.A. We have discount stores who usually use the word Dollar or the symbol $1 in their name. E.g. Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Everything for $1.00, and even 99¢ Store. They used to sell almost everything they had for $1 or less. But now they charge more. Since the Brandon administration took over the Presidency in Jan 2021 we have been experiencing some very huge inflation and that has put pressure on all the stores to raise prices and the discount stores are not spared. Currently we are in the midst of an election and if the woman gets back in *(she was already in for the last 3-1/2yrs as VP) she will raise taxes and the the prices will have to follow, so most people will want to see discount store prices as you asked. For me: Please do another KGB meme. That was very entertaining albeit a bit risky for you, but don't put yourself into jeopardy just for entertainment. OK? Fine Business young lady, Thank you! ben/ michigan
Hello, Natasha TH-cam recommended you/your channel to me. I Subscribed, I'm looking forward to watch all your videos. P.s. you have such a smoothing voice. Take care.
it makes no sense to show prices in dollars. The purchasing power of countries that pay in dollars is completely different from the purchasing power of Russians. Looks like food is cheap in Russia. But for pensioners with a pension of 25,000 rubles, it's not so great. And enjoy shopping for now. Rubble will colapse soon. I have never wished for any other country to do badly for its people. But for the Russians, who mostly agree with the occupation of Ukraine and the murder of Ukrainians, I wish only the worst.
The rubles will not collapes .. dont you know that america has 5 trillion loan or debts in CHINA? If you have 25 thousand pension in rubles to be honest with you its not bAd.. here in our country philppines there are lots of squatters .coruptions . Homeless but not like america thats has 2 million honeless thats too large.. but did the Peso our currency collapse? My answer is NO... RUSSIAN major cities are so CLEAN architectural designs are so beautiful.. ITS CALLED RICHNESS OF THE COUNTRY.
@@AdelongloPrado SO, why you talking about america? Where is the relationship between the standard of living in the usa and the collapse of the russian economy? Go to wath in russia outside major cities. No water in house. no roads, no toalets, live in old wooden wooden house. Drive on sssr old car. Yes. This is richness :-D
@dracek772 perhaps your takling about remote area.. dude sir even if there still rusdian out there living in most reomote area in any parts of russia. But its just a few compare to entire russian population . As i told you america has 2 milliins homeless that us a legut hoeless people they dont have home they dont toilet they dont have Food.. i have filipino friends there in america they cokk food sometimes just tp give it the homeless.. im saying this coz you american are so arrogant and acting like above all..
I have been enjoying your style of video. Awkwardly fun lol. Your voice is kinda ASMR and your words you use sometimes just crack me up. lol. what is it with russians saying "you guys". lol. cringe. fun, chill video. russians are similar to Americans but how some can go along with the insanity confuses me. empathy is something talked about by russians but not a quality I see in them. ofc I am speaking mostly about the older russians. younger russians have internet. my friend in Yekaterinburg has an elderly neighbor. She never once thought of checking on her or to see if she needs any help. yes, I made fun of her. lol.
Evangelical vegetarians? That is utterly crazy! What do they know about your dietary needs and the availability of good vegetarian options where you are. Natasha, just ignore these idiots. The processed meat looks questionable but you're not crazy.
С продавольствием связаны многие смежные производства! Но санкции всё равно не действуют потому что 90% продуктов питания производится в России из российского сырья!
@@АНДРЕЙ3500 That's fine but there were and never have been sanctions imposed on the Russian federation in regards to food of animal feeds. A lot of supermarket vloggers( and there are quite a few) suggest otherwise.
I know salaries are a lot lower in Russia. But it is hard to judge lifestyle unless we know the basic rent and the amount a person spends on food. Not inherited houses but if one had to rent an apartment, the basic rent. But the food seems to be high considering the salaries.
@@Oomph6006 insane prices. People cant afford basic food Just for survival. A peaceful genocide. Lula is The terrorist trying to fool everyone like he did again in Kazan
В России зарплаты меньше чем в Европе, но и уровень расходов тоже меньше чем в Европе, не забываем что базовая медицина, образование в России басплатные, 90% россиян имеют своё жилье в собственности !

Compared to other pro-Russia foreign vloggers stopped publishing videos about the price issues. At least you are still showing us the real situation in the markets.
You always have to put that into relation with income. People have to keep in mind (and you mentioned it) that the average monthly income in Russia is only a fraction from what it is in Western Europe or the US, while food is more expensive in the West, but that much more. The subsistence level / poverty line is about 15,000 rubles for one person (less than € 150). Btw about 10% of the Russian population have to live from that monthly budget or less. In Western Europe poverty line is about € 1200 to 1.500 per month and in the US it is about $ 15.000 / year (8-10 times higher).
Thank you for watching, my dears ❤️! What would you buy in a Russian supermarket?
Well, I certainly would not buy the cakes, lol. I would bake my own for those prices. Plus they did not look fresh or tasty. The cheese seems way overpriced. Cheese is usually six to thirteen dollars a pound depending on type. Brie is too fatty so I don't really know our prices offhand. Parmesan is about thirteen or fourteen dollars a pound, feta five dollars a half pound, swiss about eight a pound; same for Cheddar. Swiss and Cheddar often go on sale. And our salaries are a lot higher but housing is extremely expensive in my area.

Wow when you compare the Australian currency rate and pay comparison it makes that cake over $100 Australian dollars
@@natasha-rostova Thank you for showing us your face of a real ruzzian Нацист.
the ruble is plummeting to thy kingdom come. that's why.
Thank you so much for posting another of your wonderful videos Natasha. I always love to hear from you. Maybe everything will change for the better soon, now there is a new President in the US. Putin and Trump seemed to get on well together the last time he was in. It didn't take long, after he left office, for East-West relations to break down and the world economy to be plunged into chaos, a matter of months.

I look at other vlogs from Russia and I see these prices that are super low from an EU perspective! I can’t get the big picture because I don’t know how much people make, I don’t know where they live (but you have told us!) Some things feel contradictory, a beautiful girl I follow she talks about how expensive things are, but now she will travel to Bali for two weeks. Most people where I live can’t make such a trip because of the high price of rent, food and other necessities. So I get more confused the more vids I look at. Maybe Russia is confusing like the doll that contains a doll that contains a doll…
Many people are in debts here. Also typical Russian lifestyle is not about saving money but about wasting money. Of course, I don’t support it 🙏
Are you from Scandinavia? Prices there are very high comparing to other parts of EU. Russian prices are high comparing to salaries. But vodka is cheap. Which makes sense, because it's easier to govern drunk people.
@ Hi! Yes that is true, in Sweden we have a few big food chains that keep prices artificially high. On the other hand we have very high prices on alcohol that is what makes swedes so unruly!😄
I am from the UK and I eat meat every day, if I don't have a meal with meat in a day it feels like I haven't eat, its a free world and do what you like, don't let others tell you what to do
Thanks for posting your everyday life experiences from Russia. Don’t worry too much about people giving you advice on diet or data. There are other TH-cam channels for that 🤷🏻♂
Many stuffs are similar prices to Swedish grocery store, I live in Stockholm.
That pasta is a lot cheaper than here. I remember paying those prices over 10 years ago. But yes, groceries must be very expensive on southern Russian salaries.
The average Russian income is a fraction of western incomes, so comparing Russian prices directly with western prices doesn't accurately reflect purchasing power. Russians in major cities don't have it so bad, but once you get out things can go downhill very quickly.
👍👍👍❤❤❤
If Russia just had democracy - then the world would be a safer and better place for human beings.

Stolitchnaya, the best vodka in the world. Greetings from Sweden.
Great content🎉🎉 u also post on Chinese version of tiktok?
I don’t post, only watch 😂
thanks from canada
I would love to see what you do, how you dress and travel as the Russian winter begins. What effect it has on how you live please Natasha.
and the butter???..as an Italian, Barilla pasta is the poorest and drawn with Teflon and not bronze, it loses its hold during cooking..
and also the one that costs the least in our supermarkets
In Brasil The elite buys Barilla and feel They are Hollywood stars while The rest of the people live in starvation for decades
lol ok nona
Hi Natasha, Nice to see you again, you are so pretty. And of course your voice is so very feminine. The prices you are showing are fairly close to the same as I see here in Michigan, U.S.A. We have discount stores who usually use the word Dollar or the symbol $1 in their name. E.g. Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Everything for $1.00, and even 99¢ Store. They used to sell almost everything they had for $1 or less. But now they charge more. Since the Brandon administration took over the Presidency in Jan 2021 we have been experiencing some very huge inflation and that has put pressure on all the stores to raise prices and the discount stores are not spared.
Currently we are in the midst of an election and if the woman gets back in *(she was already in for the last 3-1/2yrs as VP) she will raise taxes and the the prices will have to follow, so most people will want to see discount store prices as you asked. For me: Please do another KGB meme. That was very entertaining albeit a bit risky for you, but don't put yourself into jeopardy just for entertainment. OK? Fine Business young lady, Thank you! ben/ michigan
Hmm..your grocery prices are cheaper than ours.😅 What does that tell you? Wth!!
You show the real Russia so I think you are doing well
mayonnaise is simply egg yolks and oil and vinegar so i wonder why the Russian version tastes different 🤪
at least 20 types of mayonnaise here
sanctions are not for macaroni and calbasa , sanction are for banking system oil and gas exports and technologies imports , military
True ! Westerners have never wanted to harm the Russian people. That's why there are “no” sanctions in the food sector!
Barila in brasil is about 5 to 7 dollars. The cheapest brand we have here is 1 dollar, and is much worse than this one you showed for 0,2 dollars
Barilla pasta is made in italy. It's like €3-4 a kilo in Europe sometimes cheaper. .. Its import in Brazil thats why its more expensive..
@Oomph6006 it's not import in Rússia?
@@maloquerianordeste its russian barilla ))

Hi from Canada )
Well, I didn't see any prices that could be called "insane" as in the title. Actually, most looked quite reasonable and some were really inexpensive.
For my friend with 30k rubles in pension its insane now
🙏🏾🇷🇺🙏🏾😊
Please show the butter prices next time. Edit: I see in other video you gave butter prices on 17.10.2024. So nevermind.
Hello, Natasha
TH-cam recommended you/your channel to me.
I Subscribed, I'm looking forward to watch all your videos.
P.s. you have such a smoothing voice. Take care.
it makes no sense to show prices in dollars. The purchasing power of countries that pay in dollars is completely different from the purchasing power of Russians.
Looks like food is cheap in Russia. But for pensioners with a pension of 25,000 rubles, it's not so great.
And enjoy shopping for now. Rubble will colapse soon.
I have never wished for any other country to do badly for its people.
But for the Russians, who mostly agree with the occupation of Ukraine and the murder of Ukrainians, I wish only the worst.
The rubles will not collapes .. dont you know that america has 5 trillion loan or debts in CHINA? If you have 25 thousand pension in rubles to be honest with you its not bAd.. here in our country philppines there are lots of squatters .coruptions . Homeless but not like america thats has 2 million honeless thats too large.. but did the Peso our currency collapse? My answer is NO... RUSSIAN major cities are so CLEAN architectural designs are so beautiful.. ITS CALLED RICHNESS OF THE COUNTRY.
@@AdelongloPrado SO, why you talking about america? Where is the relationship between the standard of living in the usa and the collapse of the russian economy? Go to wath in russia outside major cities. No water in house. no roads, no toalets, live in old wooden wooden house. Drive on sssr old car. Yes. This is richness :-D
@dracek772 perhaps your takling about remote area.. dude sir even if there still rusdian out there living in most reomote area in any parts of russia. But its just a few compare to entire russian population . As i told you america has 2 milliins homeless that us a legut hoeless people they dont have home they dont toilet they dont have Food.. i have filipino friends there in america they cokk food sometimes just tp give it the homeless.. im saying this coz you american are so arrogant and acting like above all..
Poor Russians empty carts.

I have been enjoying your style of video. Awkwardly fun lol. Your voice is kinda ASMR and your words you use sometimes just crack me up. lol. what is it with russians saying "you guys". lol. cringe. fun, chill video. russians are similar to Americans but how some can go along with the insanity confuses me. empathy is something talked about by russians but not a quality I see in them. ofc I am speaking mostly about the older russians. younger russians have internet. my friend in Yekaterinburg has an elderly neighbor. She never once thought of checking on her or to see if she needs any help. yes, I made fun of her. lol.
Evangelical vegetarians? That is utterly crazy! What do they know about your dietary needs and the availability of good vegetarian options where you are. Natasha, just ignore these idiots. The processed meat looks questionable but you're not crazy.
so how's the theft-proof butter that's getting viral these days?
Food er not sanctioned. I hope one day Russians understand that..
С продавольствием связаны многие смежные производства!
Но санкции всё равно не действуют потому что 90% продуктов питания производится в России из российского сырья!
@@АНДРЕЙ3500 That's fine but there were and never have been sanctions imposed on the Russian federation in regards to food of animal feeds. A lot of supermarket vloggers( and there are quite a few) suggest otherwise.
@littleowlbooks8514 🤣🤣🤣 как можно ввести санкции на продукты питания в аграрной стране? Да и выглядеть это будет как геноцид населения!
Omg… Sanctions affected swift, as a result import and export of all the products. This process influences economy in general
Prices are better than New Jersey 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Hi H, thanks, - does it really say "crap beer" on the CCCP beer bottle ?
Кроп is in Cyrillic. Кроп is the first four letters from Кропоткин, a town where this beer is produced
@natasha-rostova Thanks Hatasha, - толкьо шутка - I'm sure it's very good beer, and not крап !
I know salaries are a lot lower in Russia. But it is hard to judge lifestyle unless we know the basic rent and the amount a person spends on food. Not inherited houses but if one had to rent an apartment, the basic rent. But the food seems to be high considering the salaries.
What do you know about high prices. Have you ever been in Brasil?
@@maloquerianordeste Why the Brasil thing?
@@Oomph6006 insane prices. People cant afford basic food Just for survival. A peaceful genocide. Lula is The terrorist trying to fool everyone like he did again in Kazan
В России зарплаты меньше чем в Европе, но и уровень расходов тоже меньше чем в Европе, не забываем что базовая медицина, образование в России басплатные, 90% россиян имеют своё жилье в собственности !
@@АНДРЕЙ3500 Non sono più bassi , sono molto più bassi. Tranne qualche eccezzione come la svizzera e qualche altro paese più piccolo e ricchissimo in tutta Europa c'è la sanità e scuola pubblica, pensi di avere l'esclusività? Spegni quella televisione di merda e... vivi!
Very interesting. You are doing a great job.
Why would anybody tell anybody else how to eat?
Compared to other pro-Russia foreign vloggers stopped publishing videos about the price issues. At least you are still showing us the real situation in the markets.
You always have to put that into relation with income.
People have to keep in mind (and you mentioned it) that the average monthly income in Russia is only a fraction from what it is in Western Europe or the US, while food is more expensive in the West, but that much more.
The subsistence level / poverty line is about 15,000 rubles for one person (less than € 150). Btw about 10% of the Russian population have to live from that monthly budget or less.
In Western Europe poverty line is about € 1200 to 1.500 per month and in the US it is about $ 15.000 / year (8-10 times higher).
