@@Samuel10463 255 dollars. You've already lied. And this is without benefits and allowances. And it turns out more. For example, pensioners pay almost no utility bills. If you have a pension certificate, then you are required to make a discount in stores on all goods. Free medicine, free call of doctors at home (and pensioners often call doctors because of their age). In addition to discounts in stores, there is a separate network of stores for pensioners only "Social Stores". Free housemaid (social security). And how much would you pay a housemaid? And don't forget. In Russia, almost all housing is privately owned. Pensioners often rent housing to young families or students or migrants, on average it is another 350-380 dollars per month. Conclusion, on average, a pensioner, taking into account benefits and free services, definitely gets $ 1,000 per month. And besides, pensioners are working (there are not enough workers in Russia) they are also paid salaries and the state pays pensions and benefits. And how is it in your country?
Glad you're back with us. The value of the Rubhle are much better now. Prices for goods in my country also increased. I like Clover Apple juice. In about 8 months the prices increased little by little. I can't wait to see where you're going next!
Everywhere i've been in Europe eggs aren't refrigerated in the shops but in the US they are ...i believe it's because the in the US , eggs are washed more and this removes a protective layer from the shell......
In the US those eggs needs to be washed, because the hygiene standards are much lower than in Europe. For the same reason, in the US chicken is washed in chlorine (which is not allowed in the EU).
@@andrekoster9708 EU had much higher standers with food. if you want chickens washed in chlorine and all sorts of toxic hormone, pesticides and chemicals added then the Us is tops
That is because American food is full of poison. Best to go to local farmer markets for food, if that is possible. Otherwise, your life expectancy will be low.

Here in The Netherlands they also just sell uncooled eggs. You can hold your eggs for months if they are stored outside of the sun The shell is protecting the egg from intruding bacteria. Did you know that the glazy painted fully cooked easter eggs can be hold up to a year or more. Love all you Russian people ❤❤❤
In regard to the open refrigerator for dairy products, the stores in Russia, especially in winter are going to be pretty cool themselves. Even here in Houston they have open refrigerators to cool small dairy products at convenience stores. They have walk-in enclosed refrigerators for gallons of milk and six packs of beer. Beer singles are normally packed in ice.
I work and live in Asia. My water bill is just over 1 USD a month. My electric bill is around 25 usd a month. My rental of a 1 bedroom aparment is just over 500 USD a month includes the electric, water, laundry ,fitness centre and swimming pool. I spend 1000 USD a month on eating. Local food is cheap where one can have a decent meal for a couple of usd. Imported food is taxed where i might splash out but compared to UK/ European prices i am better off here. Good video giving insight to how the G7 sanctions are hurting Russia.
I really like pomegranate juice, but in the US, it has gotten very popular among the healthy foods people and the price has gone up dramatically. The price in the US is probably 4x the price in Russia. It is nice to see you back.
@@reperpeter You are strangely counting income, a simple calculation through dollar-ruble conversion, this is an inappropriate mistake of propagandists. You can't pay in dollars in Russia. They compare by purchasing power: for example, in 2022, the United States will receive 76 thousand dollars, in Russia 33 thousand dollars. Not for the 40th time as you say). At the same time, in Russia more than 80 percent of households are owned, in the USA the majority rents. In Russia, medicine and education are almost free, a doctor's call costs 0 rubles. Every American is in debt for several lifetimes ahead. Russia does not have such debts as the United States, you are almost bankrupt, the printing press should be taken away from you). Russia has all the natural resources, and they are becoming more expensive. You paid $30 for a haircut, I paid $6 for the same one. Both you and I received the same service) Internet I pay less than 10 dollars for TV and internet how much do you pay? Conclusion: never say anywhere that your income is 40 times higher than that of Russians, you look like an uneducated person)
thats not true. on the high end its about $1300 a month or about 700 on the lower end. which is about the same as someone making $5K a month on the average or $2500 on the lower end per month in the USA. Also you have to understand that the "minimum wage" in the USA in certain parts of the country is still $9.50 and hour.@@reperpeter

hello 🥰🥰 glad to see a new video from you 🤩 and yes in my country we also have eggs not in fridge too (some are in fridge and same not), they say that eggs don't have to be in fridge until you put them in fridge for the first time
and that was during the oil shock, during the inflation of the 1970's AND on the tail end of the decade which saw the dollar lose a lot of ground against everything!
Your government is but Putin has minerals and oil and gas and grains and nuclear fuel and other resources given to China and North Africa and Latin American countries and India and European country but Putin selling to India and European countries buying India and Putin took the children out of the war zone
Remember though that we make about about 4X in salary compared to the same jobs in Russia. A teacher in Russia makes $250/Week compared to $1000/Week in Canada. So that little box of juice really cost about $7.
Wrong. A teacher does not need a car . We have wonderful transportation here . A teacher in Russia has a subsidized mortgage . In rural areas teachers have discounts on utilities . Etc.
Even if the rent was free you couldn't afford to live anywhere else in the world. $250/week - Americans spend more than that on pop and chips per week!@@junglesuperstar9270
@@junglesuperstar9270yes! Seems Russia has respect and caring figured out for all whereas Canada iam surprised if a teacher actually does a proper job due to overwork and nothing in return. Russia is a lovely country
You need to get out more than! The average school teacher salary in Canada is $49,961 per year or $25.62 per hour. Entry-level positions start at $39,000 per year, while most experienced workers make up to $82,875 per year.@@derekpam7149
In Sweden we have eggs either in the fridge or at room temperature, it doesn't seem to matter ( I mean in the stores ). And we also have these open fridges for milk etc. - at some places. In Sweden the tax is also always included in the price ( 12-25% tax I think ). It has become more expensive in Russia I see, especially Juice and some veggies, and some fruits.
@5:10 oh another thing is the crema. Ideally you would try to get the freshest roasted beans. They have the date 📅 on the pack. They should be just two weeks out from the roast date IIRC. After a month the carbon dioxide off gasses that's not ideal for crema. Crema is the golden foam above a double shot espresso. Do you have an espresso machine? If you get one get the Breville Espresso Pro. They're not as good as a good espresso machine in a shop but good enough for me.
I'm from the United States and some of those items are priced not too different from our prices after the recent inflation. As with our grocery prices I also find them to be quite high, though I'm blessed to be living alone and making about $75k a year. I sometimes feel guilty knowing that many others around me are struggling to make ends meet while I complain about the prices of things that I can easily afford.
@@DavidZinselmeier As compared to US prices they are way less so it appears , price is given for US dollars in white !!! I'm thinking you are the CRAZY one or a Bot - Shil !!!
Russians are taken care of in every way so the wage matters not when they have cheaper housing. But you make 20 but could end up in a tent. One must get to know other countries before assuming In Canada min wage is 17.00 but rent is 2000-2500 just for an apartment and my eggs yesterday were 5.00 for 12 the cheapest. So ya wage matters not when the government throws you to the side. I love Russia videos they certainly figured out how to do things the right way.
When comparing U.S. wages to Russian wages, the prices are generally pretty high at that store, especially for much of the fresh produce. But bread seems quite reasonable.
Hey Svetlana, First of all great video covering your shopping expense (Outside of your primary area, I'm sure the prices will be slightly more with less options)! Based on sanctions of winter products, that should explain a lot of the high prices. With the very cold temps, I'm sure the Chickens are not producing as expected either. Hopefully you will not starve, except in the pocket book! 😃😃
Bro see her lifestyle she obviously goes for high end products. There are lot of cheaper alternatives, my brother studies as an medicine student in Russia. We are from India. It is not that expensive
@@hustlersgame8759 Yes, I can see her lifestyle, but regardless of where you shop, your going to see prices go up. Based on what I see, it "looks like" normal economic price hikes, just like here in the US. But I think it is, Russian companies, taking advantage of the situation (sanctions), raising prices and create more Russian brands or bring other Russian brands in from other Russian states! One think I did noticed is the amount of Russian replacements to make up for the sanctioned foreign brands they can't get. I'm sure, for Svetlana, it is more of a convenience to shop there versus driving to a grocery chain store, where products could be much cheaper!
Wow, you do such a good job of really making this understandable. Thanks. This is great and the prices, compared to what we pay here in the US are very low. The prices here are just completely insane.
Some of the prices are approaching Dutch supermarkets. Though the basic basics like potatoes, flour and milk are at half the price or lower compared to my Netherlands.
In Europe (apparently including Russia) eggs are sold unrefrigerated, while in the US they have to be refrigerated. The reason for the difference is that eggs in the US are washed and lose their protective outer layer. This makes them more vulnerable for infection. In Europe, egg production is cleaner than in the US, and eggs need not be washed.
no eggs need to be washed they are washed needlessly and a non fertile egg cannot have infection its not alive. European production may be cleaner but only because its done on a smaller scale due to impoverishment of the citizens with lower GDP per capita by a lot.
@@Dulc3B00kbyBrant0n In the US eggs HAVE TO be washed, because there's much more salmonella going around. Although the bacteria are not present inside the egg, they can sit on the surface. European production is cleaner because food regulations are at a much higher standard than in the US. For the same reason, chickens in the EU are not washed with chlorine like in the US. (Those chickens are not allowed to be imported from the US.) I'll take a little less GDP per capita any time in exchange for better, cleaner and healthier food.
I'm guessing you're going to your family home in Siberia ))) Honestly the prices are fine, so long as you steer clear of imported and out of season produce. For instance Champagne and Camembert are ludicrously expensive. So when I visited Russia, I got Russian sparkling wine and native cheese. I loved the price of vodka BTW 😁
The most beautiful woman on the planet! I live in a cold snowy place in the US. Planning to sail around the world in a couple years. Then I can avoid the cold for good. The Caribbean and Hawaii are in the swimsuit zone. It's 28C and sunny in the Virgin Islands daily, with a very cold 28C at night. I have spent enough time freezing. Nothing can beat living on a boat! I hope things get better soon. It's always us common folks, who pay the price in times like this.
I was in St Petersburg last summer (2023). The price level I guess was about 2.5 times less than in Norway. But comparing prices like this does not make much sense. A much better comparison is: how many minutes do you have to work to buy a bread. In my case, it's about 10 minutes depending on which bread.
Inflation I think is high in almost every country. I know where I live everything has gone up in price and they have also raised the interest rates which makes it tough for everybody to make ends meet.
Here in western Canada many food sources have gone up 20-25% in the past 3 months, these include: Peanut butter, mayonnaise, olive oil(up 30%), eggs, and chocolate/chocolate bars. In the past year many other food sources have gone up 20-30%. CDN gov't did ask grocers to participate in a parliamentary question session but that is all it was, Gov't asked questions business answered them and nothing changed.
$2-3 Dollars is normal for a soda in America, unless you buy bulk , or know where to buy it like a Dollar store. Even then its at least $1.30 for a 16 oz Coke.

Remember though that we make about about 4X in salary compared to the same jobs in Russia. A teacher in Russia makes $250/Week compared to $1000/Week in Canada. So that little box of juice really cost about $7.
Wrong. A teacher does not need a car . We have wonderful transportation here . A teacher in Russia has a subsidized mortgage . In rural areas teachers have discounts on utilities . Etc.
Even if the rent was free you couldn't afford to live anywhere else in the world. $250/week - Americans spend more than that on pop and chips per week!@@junglesuperstar9270
Iam from Canada and have never met a teacher that makes 4000 a month ha ha is that what they are striking about a 1000 extra a month? lol
@@junglesuperstar9270yes! Seems Russia has respect and caring figured out for all whereas Canada iam surprised if a teacher actually does a proper job due to overwork and nothing in return. Russia is a lovely country
You need to get out more than! The average school teacher salary in Canada is $49,961 per year or $25.62 per hour. Entry-level positions start at $39,000 per year, while most experienced workers make up to $82,875 per year.@@derekpam7149
In Sweden we have eggs either in the fridge or at room temperature, it doesn't seem to matter ( I mean in the stores ). And we also have these open fridges for milk etc. - at some places. In Sweden the tax is also always included in the price ( 12-25% tax I think ). It has become more expensive in Russia I see, especially Juice and some veggies, and some fruits.
@5:10 oh another thing is the crema. Ideally you would try to get the freshest roasted beans. They have the date 📅 on the pack. They should be just two weeks out from the roast date IIRC. After a month the carbon dioxide off gasses that's not ideal for crema.
Crema is the golden foam above a double shot espresso.
Do you have an espresso machine?
If you get one get the Breville Espresso Pro. They're not as good as a good espresso machine in a shop but good enough for me.
I'm from the United States and some of those items are priced not too different from our prices after the recent inflation. As with our grocery prices I also find them to be quite high, though I'm blessed to be living alone and making about $75k a year. I sometimes feel guilty knowing that many others around me are struggling to make ends meet while I complain about the prices of things that I can easily afford.
So glad you are back!
Love it thank you! Greetings from Canada
Thing's are definitely better price in Russia , good to see you again , thanks for sharing !
no they are not. are you crazy????
@@DavidZinselmeier As compared to US prices they are way less so it appears , price is given for US dollars in white !!! I'm thinking you are the CRAZY one or a Bot - Shil !!!
realize people also make a lot less money then people in the west
@@DavidZinselmeier She's not crazy, she's correct. But. if the minimum pay wage is bad in Russia, then yes, they would be expansive.
Russians are taken care of in every way so the wage matters not when they have cheaper housing. But you make 20 but could end up in a tent. One must get to know other countries before assuming
In Canada min wage is 17.00 but rent is 2000-2500 just for an apartment and my eggs yesterday were 5.00 for 12 the cheapest. So ya wage matters not when the government throws you to the side.
I love Russia videos they certainly figured out how to do things the right way.
Thank you for this beautiful video!
When comparing U.S. wages to Russian wages, the prices are generally pretty high at that store, especially for much of the fresh produce. But bread seems quite reasonable.
You don’t compare wages . You compare expenses
@@junglesuperstar9270expenses differ from where you live. In city center its expensive, outside a house can cost amost nothing
@@Randomdude21-e almost nothing in the USA ? Hahahahahahaha
@@junglesuperstar9270 yes just live outside cities and buy olderhomes
@@Randomdude21-e yep, sure, bro. Hahahagaga
Welcome back 😊
Hey Svetlana, First of all great video covering your shopping expense (Outside of your primary area, I'm sure the prices will be slightly more with less options)! Based on sanctions of winter products, that should explain a lot of the high prices. With the very cold temps, I'm sure the Chickens are not producing as expected either. Hopefully you will not starve, except in the pocket book! 😃😃
Bro see her lifestyle she obviously goes for high end products. There are lot of cheaper alternatives, my brother studies as an medicine student in Russia. We are from India. It is not that expensive
@@hustlersgame8759 Yes, I can see her lifestyle, but regardless of where you shop, your going to see prices go up. Based on what I see, it "looks like" normal economic price hikes, just like here in the US. But I think it is, Russian companies, taking advantage of the situation (sanctions), raising prices and create more Russian brands or bring other Russian brands in from other Russian states! One think I did noticed is the amount of Russian replacements to make up for the sanctioned foreign brands they can't get. I'm sure, for Svetlana, it is more of a convenience to shop there versus driving to a grocery chain store, where products could be much cheaper!
Charming presentation, happy valentine day. Super lady, super interested. Shamim 👏🤝🕊⚘✔🧜♀️👫💑🎎⭐💅
Wow, you do such a good job of really making this understandable. Thanks. This is great and the prices, compared to what we pay here in the US are very low. The prices here are just completely insane.
Depends on how the ratio is to what you earn net per month
@@gerardoostindie6491still very expensive for the average American
The average Russian spends 30% of income on groceries while the average American spends 10%. Russians are poor as fk. There economy is garbage.
@@johnnyvorhees4140 In this link you can see the prices in the Netherlands Link: ua-cam.com/video/E8lJs2Jfduk/v-deo.html
Prices compare to Czech rep. are basicly same .
I was thinking groceries in russia are cheaper but it is not!
Yahoooo you are back. Cool
ВОТ НАША МИЛАЯ СВЕТЛАНА!!!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘
Good overview, thank you.🤗🍀🌹
Great to know you are ok. I thought maybe you made your big trip to you know where. Please stay safe and warm. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for showing the USD comparison.
Some of the prices are approaching Dutch supermarkets.
Though the basic basics like potatoes, flour and milk are at half the price or lower compared to my Netherlands.
And the salary is 1/5.
Thanks a lot!
Oi. Those prices are cheaper than America… cheers:))
I was thinking the same
When you make 500 dollar pr month you cant compare🤷🏻♂️
Russian grocery price is comparable with us in lots of the categories.
@@cindylin335 sure but when they make 5-10 times less money then a avrage American you cant say its same😏
@@Viking-rp7oc didn't even think of that. Very true
New to channel and I likey!!!
Everything you showed is basically cheaper there than it is here in UK. Some things by double.
Thanks for showing the reality 🙏
You have to remember that the average salary in western Russia is less than half the average salary in the UK
Love ur videos💖💖💖 it would be great if u also tell like which oil , flour brand etc is good quality so it will be easy for international students
We get ripped off in Canada on dairy..our prices are easily 4 -5x highter..because two companies own everything and work to keep prices high.
Salaries are much higher, too.
Canada puts high tariffs on imports to protect local inefficient producers. No wonder you pay so much.
But how much do you make a year? What about public amenities that you enjoy? Healthcare? Subsidized services?
@@iiyyxxnn not to mention as a canadian they don't have to worry about getting drafted to be killed for a power hungry dictator...
In Europe (apparently including Russia) eggs are sold unrefrigerated, while in the US they have to be refrigerated. The reason for the difference is that eggs in the US are washed and lose their protective outer layer. This makes them more vulnerable for infection. In Europe, egg production is cleaner than in the US, and eggs need not be washed.
no eggs need to be washed they are washed needlessly and a non fertile egg cannot have infection its not alive. European production may be cleaner but only because its done on a smaller scale due to impoverishment of the citizens with lower GDP per capita by a lot.
@@Dulc3B00kbyBrant0n In the US eggs HAVE TO be washed, because there's much more salmonella going around. Although the bacteria are not present inside the egg, they can sit on the surface. European production is cleaner because food regulations are at a much higher standard than in the US. For the same reason, chickens in the EU are not washed with chlorine like in the US. (Those chickens are not allowed to be imported from the US.)
I'll take a little less GDP per capita any time in exchange for better, cleaner and healthier food.
I think the prices and the selection are amazing when compared with North America!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos!❤
Slava ukraini
Wow. Great prices.
I love this thanks for doing it, inflation in the nation, also nice fingers
Thanks for taking us shopping. The prices are reasonable compared to what we experience in the U.S.
Average hourly wage 600 Rubles an hour in Moscow region. Average American hourly wage 2860 Rubles or $26.00.
Could you upload a video about oil change (vehicle maintenance) prices, utilities (electric bill, water bill, internet bill) please?
I have not seen a video of yours in a while. Last I saw you were engaged & moving to a warmer climate. Glad you are a live and well
You look amazing! ❤🎉 Thats all matter! 😊
I'm guessing you're going to your family home in Siberia ))) Honestly the prices are fine, so long as you steer clear of imported and out of season produce. For instance Champagne and Camembert are ludicrously expensive. So when I visited Russia, I got Russian sparkling wine and native cheese. I loved the price of vodka BTW 😁
The most beautiful woman on the planet! I live in a cold snowy place in the US. Planning to sail around the world in a couple years. Then I can avoid the cold for good. The Caribbean and Hawaii are in the swimsuit zone. It's 28C and sunny in the Virgin Islands daily, with a very cold 28C at night. I have spent enough time freezing. Nothing can beat living on a boat! I hope things get better soon. It's always us common folks, who pay the price in times like this.
17c here in Winnipeg MB Canada today and not bad for feb
Good to see you again 🌷
I was in St Petersburg last summer (2023). The price level I guess was about 2.5 times less than in Norway. But comparing prices like this does not make much sense. A much better comparison is: how many minutes do you have to work to buy a bread. In my case, it's about 10 minutes depending on which bread.
Thank you .
Svetlana is 😍
Svetlana, I was worried you wound not come back. Thank God you are here. 😁
🤗
Your local store seems similar to USA version of Aldi's food chain. Aldi appears cheaper on prices but portions are small.
Inflation I think is high in almost every country. I know where I live everything has gone up in price and they have also raised the interest rates which makes it tough for everybody to make ends meet.
Here in western Canada many food sources have gone up 20-25% in the past 3 months, these include: Peanut butter, mayonnaise, olive oil(up 30%), eggs, and chocolate/chocolate bars. In the past year many other food sources have gone up 20-30%. CDN gov't did ask grocers to participate in a parliamentary question session but that is all it was, Gov't asked questions business answered them and nothing changed.
Welcome back!
68 degrees Central Texas sunny warm Nice
$2-3 Dollars is normal for a soda in America, unless you buy bulk , or know where to buy it like a Dollar store. Even then its at least $1.30 for a 16 oz Coke.
Wages are alot higher too. Russian shop workers earn liken 500$ a month
$8.50 for 12 pack of Coke products in Colorado
Japanese cucumber in kuala lumpur malaysia.... Around usd1.00 per kg
Thanks from 🇨🇦 😉
Fantastic video svetlana 😊 blimey -16 🥶 we moan about -1 here in England lol 😂 we also display our eggs out on the shelves I think it’s because we don’t wash off the protective coat or something! Stay warm and safe with love from the Uk 🇬🇧 💚🫶💚
Greeting from Helsinki, Finland. This shop prices is about 1/3-1/2 my neighborhood chain shop. Also here in Finland eggs is room temperature.
Thx. That was a good video....funny how we see things in prices.....from here in western Canada those prices are really cheap
Very good report. Bottle of beer is cheaper than a bottle of cola
I can actually see the anxiety build as you talk about too many people in the store. You’re cute! lol
