Different Russia Hello great video again.. More christmas stuff in Russia than costco here.. Sorry alex had to leave in the rain. but hes nice to hangout , chow
Thank you for showing your beautiful country. I was in Russia in 1985 and it was of course very different then. I think you and your husband are a good happy family and I love Sheffield.
I am so amazed at what a consumer culture Moscow is today! Simply amazing! This is no different than I have seen in any upscale area of the USA. It is also rather a comedy that there are still some wooden headed people here who think that everything in Russia is long lines and empty shelves. 😃
I love your videos and every time I watch one I am amazed at how similar things are in Russia and here in the UK, and indeed, everywhere in the world. Cars, shops, houses, people, holidays, entertainment, cameras, hobbies and everything. It makes it so hard to understand how there is hate and conflict in the world when underneath it all we are all so alike. Merry Christmas to you, Alex and your family and friends.
Lol i am not used to seeing Russian smile. Whenever i am in Russian towns my wife tells me not to smile and be serious, i am Australian we are never serious. I enjoy watching all very interesting your english is very good.
I'm a new subscriber. Love your videos! I always hear that the sausage selection is awesome in Russia. Here in Texas we pride ourselves on great sausage too. Would love you to show a video about sausage and/or smoked meats. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful episode Valeria. I love those huge stores to wonder around. We do not have that much big stores here. I also like that you go from one side to the other. :) And i can see on his look that Alex het secretly a good time. I think in his heart h doesn't mind being there. (wink) Thank you for sharing.
Before Russia had the big box stores there were a few who would go to Alaska find someone with a card and stock up. We had a Russian employee and he loved Costco he even moved his parents into some apartments right next to the Costco. Big Box stores make a lot of sense if you live a ways from the stores and need to stock up on a weekly or monthly trip. In a large spread out country like Russia they make the most sense. I searched for this video because I knew how much they loved box stores and wanted to see if they had acquired any....Yep.
You are delightful. I love when you are amused. I am US citizen living as an Expat in Mexico. I follow many people who live and travel beyond their native countries. Thank you so much for sharing your life experience with us. Cheers.
Metro is specialized for people with businesses, it does not matter if you own a smal kiosk or a multy storey office building. Here you can buy things in masses you can't buy in normal stores like 10gallons of mustard, or 50kg meat or coffee powder and other work equipment or decoration. You can get multiple member cards as an owner and give them to your employees.
Thank you for the explanation of how membership for this store works. Do you know if any sort of (small, privately owned) business could qualify, and how do you prove your qualification when you apply for membership? Oh, and Merry Christmas! 🎄
@@hillsidedweller656 This was an explanation how the METRO store works in Germany. I later realized, that METRO works differently in different countries. Here in Germany only businneses can shop there. Their website says, that you need a proof that you are an entrepreneur, your passport and tax id, to get a membership card. But due to Corona, everyone is allowed to shop there now, because they lack customers.
Wow, I have never seen a Sam's Club like that one, huge and it has everything. The Christ,as displays are beautiful. I'm afraid I'd visit and never wish to leave the store
How nice, I lived in Moscow three months three years ago but it is still as if I left yesterday ❤️ Whenever I think about my time there I get moved. I loved your video about Perekrestok because I used to do my grocery shopping there most of the time
Wow its almost Christmas already!! I remember watching your video about Christmas last year. Where does time go? Thank you for all the videos. Love Russia
El Jimador Mexican tequila for 2300 rubles...ay caramba...wow, so expensive but there are shipping fees. Don Julio and 1800 are my favorites (I lived in Mexico for 2 years and learned to love good tequila there)...did see Jameson Irish whiskey but did not see the price...another great video Valeria...very intriguing...great job dear!!! I cannot drink too much these days but was just curious on the prices...wonderful video. :)
Hello from England. Very interesting, as always, in the UK we call such a store ... a Cash and Carry, it's for wholesale supply and is used mostly by small shops. They buy goods in bulk, such as 12 bottles of Scotch Whisky in one pack, the shop then sell it to their customers at a slightly higher price than they paid for it, this is the retail cost. My Brother used to own a small business and he would often take me with him to the Cash and Carry, so I bought food and supplies for my home at less than retail. Good to have a Brother in business.
I was in Harrods back in 2005 & sat in a massage chair well the woman approached & said I need an appointment to use the chair I nearly fell off the chair when she said that, well since she was going on vacation to Florida in a few weeks she thought I might be of help since I'm from the states so she relented & allowed me to continue massaging my derriere for the allowed 5 minutes lol..
We pay for all these "clubs" here in the US too.....Sams, Costco, BJ's.....lots of the same stuff around the same prices.......In the US each place gets involved with different employees.....so if you work for that place all you do is take a pay stub and pay the annual fee ( anywhere from $50-$100) and they take your picture and give you your card.......with the card you can go anyday you want as long as it's not expired.
You and your husband are a nice couple. That store is the same as a store called Costco, you have to have a membership card to shop there. Russia is a beautiful modern place.
Wonderful people in a great, simple video, just doing simple things with enough joy. Like you showing everyday life in Russia. The prices are not too different than here in the US so probably expensive for many Russians, just as for many people here. I have never been a member of these types of stores because I try not to be a big consumer and buy many things second hand, (used). I hope the Ruble gets stronger to lower your prices some.
Great video as always! I didn't understand the purpose of the triangular car sign...can you please explain? Last week I returned from a 3 week trip to Moscow. It was amazing. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Yes animals are quite expensive. We have large vet bills too as some of our pets are older now. This store is like our Sams Club which is owned by Wal-Mart.
Definitely looks like an American Sams club or Costco. Great store if you want to buy in bulk in America. Good food in the cafe too. Not as big of a food selection in cafe in American store unfortunately
I continue to love your videos of everyday life. It's interesting to see which brands I recognize and which ones I do not. The prices seem about the same as in the US.
SPASIBO I ENJOYED THAT AND LOOK FOR THE REST OF THE STORE TRIP :-) I WAS AT MY SAM'S TODAY BUYING A CASE OF MEXICAN COKE, THEY USE CANE SUGAR INSTEAD OF HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. HAPPY SHOPPING.
Great video of how people live in Russia. And why must people always have to try and compare Russia with the U.S.A. we Americans don't have anything against Russia or the Russian people.
Valeria, there is the same kind of METRO in Hungary, Budapest, but I was so suprised when you told that every products had been produced in Russia. Because we are so stupid, that we import all of them, and there is no production at Hungary, just very few regarding these articles. What a suprise :) Hello from Violet, Budapest.
Куртка определенно хороша на Алексе , и дешевая. Вы не купили ее Лера ? Алкоголь дорогой , ты правильно заметила - Алекс хорошо разбирается в недешевых напитках . Перед Новым Годом надо будет проконсультироваться у вас . Я видел вы проходили мимо стеллажей с кухонной техникой. Нет ли у тебя Лера суповарки с блендером дома типа MOULINEX или ZAUBER и не знаешь ли ты цены на них у вас ? У нас я в продаже не натыкался . В интернет магазинах может быть.Холосый магазинчик .Мне понлавился.😋 🌼
куртку купили, но сыну оказалась мала. Вобщем Алекс забрал ее себе (сказал, что это его награда за шатание по магазину:) Очень доволен. Сказал, что на таких условиях готов ходить хоть каждый день в магазин:) Блендер у меня погружной - Bosh кажется. мультиварка тоже есть - но фирму не помню. редко ей пользуюсь. Я посмотрю MOULINEX или ZAUBER в наших магазинах. Но я думаю что на их сайтах все цены есть.
What about Supplements? Where can someone purchase a high quality multi vitamin. I am guessing that it is difficult to get a membership card to shop here?
Waw, such a huge store, it's also neat and clean. the stabilizer of the camera is very good. please tell me what kind and model of camera that you typed this video with!
Thanks you very much for the videos, iam from Panamá and we are going to Russia for the wold cup, and your videos are very helping us, please if you can do some ones with tips for the first time travelers like hotels, restaurants ect, prices. thanks and keep the good work
Hi ! As an American tourist to Moscow how can I buy something in that wonderful store since you said you have to get a membership card to enter the premises ? Any suggestions?
Valeria...all I could add might be that you share the Russian name for things the way they do on some Polish sites...beer, or is it Piwo...rice, but in Warsaw its ryz. As an English teacher I remain fascinated by languages. Thanks
So I am learning. Maybe I will do so, I need the practice as I am writing a novel of the Second World War and Warsaw 1944, but I promise to avoid using you for my Polish practice. Thanks for your videos.
the super store in in video looks like Costco, Home Depot, and other superstores in America, with a car parking lot outside. Add to that the white teenage cashiers, manning cash-payment machines, and Russian superstores make it look like we are in America.
Make a gift to your friends or relatives, order a Sweet Box :)

Different Russia Hello great video again.. More christmas stuff in Russia than costco here.. Sorry alex had to leave in the rain. but hes nice to hangout , chow
Different Russia madam foreign people can go to metro even with their passport. Yes it's possible. I live in Russia but I am from India.
I love the way you two interact. Thanks for another great video. Can't wait for part 3.
Thank you for showing your beautiful country. I was in Russia in 1985 and it was of course very different then. I think you and your husband are a good happy family and I love Sheffield.
MARTHA CAREY so true, was there in 83 and 88, hopefully I will be returning 2019!
I am so amazed at what a consumer culture Moscow is today! Simply amazing! This is no different than I have seen in any upscale area of the USA. It is also rather a comedy that there are still some wooden headed people here who think that everything in Russia is long lines and empty shelves. 😃
Speaking Russian, Valeria did unlock another secret today. It turns out Alex is an expert on whiskey and other drinks )))
ImixSpb - Do you mean the Macallan whiskey? Scotch whiskey? Something to do with Scotland?
Logica Redux - There was a playfully ironic context ))) She was amused - How is this? Where'd you get this experience? Hmmm... It is not clear... )))
ImixSpb - Aah! The plot thickens! 😃
Logica Redux - Yes, Alex was caught )))
I love your videos and every time I watch one I am amazed at how similar things are in Russia and here in the UK, and indeed, everywhere in the world.

Thank you for another great video Valeria!
Another great video! I love your videos because I'm fascinated to see how other people live (sounds silly I know). See you in part 3 💜
PS I'm in Seattle, WA, USA
thank you Mary :)
Lol i am not used to seeing Russian smile. Whenever i am in Russian towns my wife tells me not to smile and be serious, i am Australian we are never serious. I enjoy watching all very interesting your english is very good.
Colin Jones
I am Russian and I smile whenever I want. It is not prohibited to smile in Russia. Just try.)))
Colin Jones Australian are never serious??? Hahahahahahaha that is good to have sometimes.

I know it takes longer to get things done when you are filming and Alex seems to be very patient. Really enjoy watching! 👏🏼👍🏼
Aww I feel for your husband I bet he wishes he was with Sheffield hehe 🎅Thank you for making the video both of you . Alex looks good!
Your video's are great. I am fascinated with Russia and all the things you do not normally see. Keep them coming your doing a great job.
Christmas Sales in Canada started three weeks ago. I don't really spend any money on stuff I don't need and it's hard to shop with kids.
Before Russia had the big box stores there were a few who would go to Alaska find someone with a card and stock up. We had a Russian employee and he loved Costco he even moved his parents into some apartments right next to the Costco. Big Box stores make a lot of sense if you live a ways from the stores and need to stock up on a weekly or monthly trip. In a large spread out country like Russia they make the most sense. I searched for this video because I knew how much they loved box stores and wanted to see if they had acquired any....Yep.
life looks good in Russia, your channel is the best and really enjoy this side of normal. daily existence.
You are delightful. I love when you are amused. I am US citizen living as an Expat in Mexico. I follow many people who live and travel beyond their native countries. Thank you so much for sharing your life experience with us. Cheers.
thank you Alice
Metro is specialized for people with businesses, it does not matter if you own a smal kiosk or a multy storey office building.

Had a great time shopping with you and Alex great video as always until the next part stay warm and safe
Очень очень круто :) Спасибо, что поделился
The Russian Costco shopping club.
How nice, I lived in Moscow three months three years ago but it is still as if I left yesterday ❤️ Whenever I think about my time there I get moved. I loved your video about Perekrestok because I used to do my grocery shopping there most of the time
Wow its almost Christmas already!! I remember watching your video about Christmas last year. Where does time go? Thank you for all the videos. Love Russia

Great to watch 👌👌👌
I made a Halloween outfit for my son that I’m sure a wedding dress would not have been that hard. Lol 😂
Russia's come a long way. When I was a kid in the 80's we visited as tourists. I had nearly 20 offers from locals wanting to buy my blue jeans!
Yes, times have changed since then...
So if he gets lost, you go to the tool department and drag him out.
We pay for all these "clubs" here in the US too.....Sams, Costco, BJ's.....lots of the same stuff around the same prices.......In the US each place gets involved with different employees.....so if you work for that place all you do is take a pay stub and pay the annual fee ( anywhere from $50-$100) and they take your picture and give you your card.......with the card you can go anyday you want as long as it's not expired.

Great video as always! I didn't understand the purpose of the triangular car sign...can you please explain? Last week I returned from a 3 week trip to Moscow. It was amazing. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
That warning sign tells us your car has studded tires.
Ahhhh...thanks!
Yes animals are quite expensive. We have large vet bills too as some of our pets are older now.
This store is like our Sams Club which is owned by Wal-Mart.
Your english is really good but I keep listening to what that E sign for your car is for and can't make it out. something about tires?
This is set up like a Walmart but stocked up in the steel like a sams club. This place is pretty huge.
I am liking this store. It is huge and has many things.
The prices seem similar to the United States. Love the channel!
Not that long ago, there were no stores like this one, or any grocery in the stores either!
Metro is an European chain of stores for enterprises. For wholesale mostly. But not in large quantities.
Definitely looks like an American Sams club or Costco. Great store if you want to buy in bulk in America. Good food in the cafe too. Not as big of a food selection in cafe in American store unfortunately
LOL.....the store looks like America......
VALERIA , ANOTHER GOOOOOD PROGRAM NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN
You have to pay for a card in metro, mine was free in South Asia. I paid for my Costco and Sam's club cards as a business member though.
Nice video. Thanks. Love seeing other countries way of life. It's a lot like here in the USA.
Not really anyone can buy a club membership in the USA, from what she was saying you have to be someone to get a membership to this place.
mike johnson like a rich person?
At 6:15 what is that sign for. Your car? Does everyone have to have one?
I continue to love your videos of everyday life. It's interesting to see which brands I recognize and which ones I do not. The prices seem about the same as in the US.

hello Violet :)
How do the prices at that store compare to "open to the public" stores for identical items?
More like Cosco cause Kirkland brand is Cosco's. Kirkland is a city in Washington State where it is headquarters
I am enjoying these videos.
Nice video. It shows how many brands are shared in Costco stores in US. But you may have wider selection. Costco is not open 24/7.

all about my camera th-cam.com/video/pwynD8ZJFlE/w-d-xo.html
This series really does give an insight into what life in Russia really 'feels' like.
Which camera did you use? and are the security of the supermarket not against you filming?
In Russia, I can shoot in public places. Even the policeman who stopped me.
Exactly like Macro shops ,only for those who have some company or shop or some kind of business
My grandparends took me to Metro as a kid. It was hell for me. My grandma wanted to go through every line, every time! It took hours...
you are like Alex :))) You both like shopping in Metro :) LOL Have a good day
Why are there so many products with English language labels? Is that normal or is it just because of that particular store you're in?
many products with English language labels in any store
Cell plan in Moscow for example: $7.50 for 500 minutes and unlim 4G internet. Balances minutes added to the next month.
Love your videos
Thanks you very much for the videos, iam from Panamá and we are going to Russia for the wold cup, and your videos are very helping us, please if you can do some ones with tips for the first time travelers like hotels, restaurants ect, prices. thanks and keep the good work
Very odd membership requirements to shop at that store. Too bad....
Wonderful to see Moscow
Hi ! As an American tourist to Moscow how can I buy something in that wonderful store since you said you have to get a membership card to enter the premises ? Any suggestions?
only if you go with the person with a card.
Do they verify your membership when you enter the store or when you check out?
yes. it was in part 1
How much is a carton of Coke & how many is in it🎈
Valeria...all I could add might be that you share the Russian name for things the way they do on some Polish sites...beer, or is it Piwo...rice, but in Warsaw its ryz. As an English teacher I remain fascinated by languages. Thanks
Slavic languages have common ground. I think If you write here something in Polish, we can understand half your lines without translation ))
So I am learning. Maybe I will do so, I need the practice as I am writing a novel of the Second World War and Warsaw 1944, but I promise to avoid using you for my Polish practice. Thanks for your videos.
I love those winter jackets!!
Do you have taxes on items purchased?
Cool!
Very similar to our USA stores, I have been to metro in Pakistan
Where do you get computer games and how much do they cost.
the super store in in video looks like Costco, Home Depot, and other superstores in America, with a car parking lot outside. Add to that the white teenage cashiers, manning cash-payment machines, and Russian superstores make it look like we are in America.
We love Alex too! You guys are such a cute couple.
When do Christmas sales start in Russia? Our sales in the US start in July. 😃
mid- or end of October
How much does a cell phone plan cost in Russia?
John Smith oh I see. спасибо большое for the reply!
How do you have a Sam's club but no walmart.
Costco in the US is open for anyone to join. Annual membership is $55 and you get cards for your entire family.
here membership is free but only organizations can get cards
DDD BBB here in Pennsylvania besides Costco, there's BJ'S and Sam's Club
Sheffield likes people food.
Is that a Sam's club? Do you have Walmart also?
no Sam's club and no Walmart
Good video! Personally will not shop at a store that is part of the Walmart group.
Thanks my sister
I'm in the Wine & Spirits Business, so I always want to see the alcohol haha
I can see why they say everything is bigger in Russia.
Красиво Магазин!
You speak better English than most Americans !
thank you
Is most of your items manufactured in Russia, or is it like the USA where about 85% of our items are manufactured in other countries.
“Beer is not popular in Russia“. Course it isn't. We were not talking about vodka,duh...
🎄☃️🎄👍
This Xmas day in Moscow
Metro - Russian Costco shopping club
Phillip Mulligan
Actually, it is not Russian. Many stores in Europe.
30 years ago nobody bought water. Isn’t the city water good enough?
some people drink city water
America loves russia.
Sheffield Rocks
