How Much Russians Can Spend on Groceries in Cities in 2022

  • Together with ‪@INSIDERUSSIA‬ and ‪@NikiProshin‬ we decided to check how much money do you need in Russia to buy groceries in different circumstances, like being or not being a family man, etc.
    The estimation is rough and, of course, based on our personal experience, because various promo discounts can take place in different key accounts, or you can buy groceries in small shops, not in the shopping malls, or even in the farm markets, like many people in the provincial Russia often do.
    This I earlier covered in this video:

    The fellowship between these Russian guys and all us Western folk in the comments restores some of my faith in humanity. We’re all humans and are all in on this together. Never hate other people or another country just because our leaders have decided to fight each other

      Agreed 150%. I pray ? We can all come together on this planet to live as one... Not the stupid WEF outlook but that we all find really good ways and means .... One way to see how we all are really one? Is to view earth from space... We all here ? Live on one planet in a vast universe . We all should do more to preserve as we can to make it so. I wish all and many good people in Russia the best amid these political fat heads who think and feel way above the strength of the people of the world.

      Reasonable people can disagree on this, but to me videos like this are in tremendously poor taste, basically focusing on a gap in your nice normal grocery store shelf or increased prices while you support or at least ignore another persons city being bombed into rubble by your country, with true shortages of water, food and power, medical care, etc.
      It seems tremendously exploitative and tone deaf, like a German housewife hearing of the starvation of 100,000s of Russian POWs during the German invasion, and her only response being “it’s awful…our local tea shop only has half the cakes it used to due to sugar rations.”

    Note fellow Americans, their eggs are on the shelf, not in a fridge. They do not do the silly washing of the eggs out of the hen, their eggs (true of most of the world as well) are dirty, but retain the "protein bloom" or protein coating from the hen.

      Except everything in Russia is organic non-gmo,the vegetables they sell in supermarkets is basically what you will find in farmers market in west,what they sell in farmers market in Russia doesn't exist in the west due to pesticide/gmo use.
      So it's not fair to compare low quality western food that was raised on literal toxins,you should compare best quality you can find,there's no way you buy organic non-gmo no pesticide tomatoes per kilo for 200 rubles,I grew tomatoes on my own,they never grow big without massive amount of good quality fertilizer,to grow just 1 kg of tasty tomatoes costs a lot because bugs love to eat them,they leave these scars on them which means they were grown naturally,but it also means 1/4 of the yeld was destroyed to bugs,your milk also tastes very bad as if watered down,in Russia they don't pasteurize like in the west,even pasteurized milk in Russia goes bad in a week because they use different technology that doesn't kill nutrients. In west basic milk stays good for 2 weeks which is not normal.Only powdered milk in Russia can have a long expiration date,you don't even need to refrigerate it. Bread in Russia molds in 5 days too.

      No need to compare with Canadian products. Russians are better. And in the village a liter of milk costs 35 rubles, and a dozen eggs - 80 p, and this is directly from the cow. And about Canadian medicine, I’d better shut up. After a three-year life in Vancouver, I know everything about Canadian medicine. I sincerely feel sorry for you, without sarcasm

I was looking forward to going again, but then the pandemic, and now traveling there, is not recommended. I found out, that it was good, to go to the outdoor markets, which had a lot of fresh produce, especially. It was better and cheaper to buy groceries there, than in the U.S. I would say, by about 15%.

    Sometimes I compare the food and meals in my parents' and my childhood with food and meals today. My parents grew up after WWII on countryside and were happy when they had something to eat. They had meat rarely.. I am end of 40 now... In early years we were more frugal, we did not have such a huge variety of food, but we had good and warm meals every day, often one pot dishes, soups, stuffed potatoes with carrots or sauerkraut, noodles with fruits (apple, pear, peaches) or pancakes e.g. In summer we usually had fresh vegetables and fruits sometimes from own garden, in winter we usually had storable vegetables and fruits. Meat was expensive, higher quality meat was more expensive and we had it on special occasions. The younger people here are often spoiled, the best is not good enough, they need something special, they cannot eat normal food, but if you sell them the same products as "super food" for a high price, then they eat it, super food is o.k. for them. Food became cheaper, the quality became sometimes worse.... In the last years much food had been produced just for economical reasons (more production -less prices), the food what was/is not sold will be disposed. Sometimes food (especially fruits and vegetables) is even disposed before it comes on the market (the wholesale decides that the products are "not good enough": too small, too big, a bit crooked..)... Maybe we should create low price meals with less ingredients, I try to do my best everyday .... Greetings from 🇩🇪

    • @oliviao3686
      @oliviao3686 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I'm from Russia, I agree with you. I'm 34 and in the past couple of decades we also got spoilt whereas our parents (after WWII) and also ourselves back in the 90s were just trying to survive. My mom, 1951, says in the spring they'd go to the nearby forest to get some herbs to eat, they are them raw, their mother made soups of that... Already for me it sounds crazy, our children wouldn't even believe it.
      But we still have it in our blood- do not throw away bread and children brought up by such parent are much more careful about the food waste. Although I do love delicacies, with unusual tastes, like Asian cuisine etc. After such meals I do not want to eat boiled potatoes any more...

      It is here, for home cooking but there are a lot of Italian restaurants here opened by Italians who migrated to Russia in a big wave about 14 years ago. The first public restaurants in St Petersburg when it was founded were Italian after 1703 or so because so many designers and artisans came to build the new capital city for Russia when much of the city was designed by Italians who were not used to traditional Russian food and public restaurants did not exist. Russians travel internationally a lot for vacations and the foods they try in other countries often become additions to the Russian restaurant experience. Food options are VERY diverse here.
