Thanks for video. This brings back my wonderful memories in Bern, Switzerland. Been there for half years, Migros, Coop, Denner, Lidl my favorite store.
Thank you for the general feel of grocery prices. I really liked the chocolate and the cakes. Compared to the southern U.S., where I live, prices are about 50% higher in Switzerland. The average incomes here are about 50% lower, so I guess it evens out.
I love to shop at leCler in Saint Louis but in Germany we get the taxes back so I go there often however as I live in Switzerland I support the shops here and love to go to the farmers market
Love these supermarket videos. FYi Australian supermarkets are a bit cheaper (but still over priced) than Swiss...but New Zealand's are more expensive! This is due to a duopoly (only two supermaket chains) which overcharge by as much as 20%. people (on average) earn much less than the Swiss in Australia and New Zealand.
Thank you for this video. I would say that prices in Switzerland are in the same range as those in Canada. Meat seems to be more expensive, wine seems to be cheap. Cheese is about the same price, surprisingly. The problem in Canada is that only 3 companies control own almost all the supermarkets, so they can charge whatever they want. Prices keep increasing consistently, and our gouvernement is not doing much to regulate the prices. But there are some independent smaller supermarkets owned by less greedy people, I try to shop more and more often there. Like big pharma, the people in the food industry are evil.
Hmmmmmmm I am not sure which kind of price level of Canada you are comparing, but Mr. Moonshine shows are mostly budget stuff, normal price are higher and if go for bio products than at least 2 or 3 times more than which Mr. Moonshine showed in the video 👍
@@namgyel6447 Bio products? I am talking about grocery chains that most people go to. Also, I think that the video mentioned that there are two brands in Switzerland that dominate the market COOP and MIGRO(S). So....
Prices are similar to what we have here in California. But I'd say our overall cost of living is higher than Switzerland 🇨🇭 By the way, Roger Federer is quite friendly 😊
Hm, I used to live in California but that is a while ago, but I cannot believe that overall cost would be higher there than in Switzerland. Switzerland is the richest and most expensive place in the world, the only place that rival is Singapore and - now not so anymore - Norway. Roger Federer is very friendly, he is from very close to this Migros.
watching from Malaysia...most of the prices are around 3 to 4x of that in Malaysia but considering most Swiss earned 10k Frans a month (+-RM4k average Malaysian earned) is affordable for them...10:23 most supermarkets in Malaysia do have discounted price sales for products that are expiring soon.
Pre C-19, I would find the Swiss prices outrageous. But post C-19, with the exceptions of dairy, meat, and sefood, I find the prices similar, compared to Minneapolis. Its amazing how many things went up from 30 to 300% in price in the last few years.
Do you get some fiscal burn out of sorts when you put up there for the number of days for getting the country to country transit paper and visa formalities for the next country - for the upcoming episodes 14:13 the butter there is as costly as here
I live in the US Vermont and things are much cheaper at Aldi here than in Switzerland. I think if you go to one of the big fancy grocery stores here, it’s more expensive, but I don’t go there.
But I think since you are brought up there you are used to taking advantage to some extent. And we are also very lucky to have the experience from a local like you! Best wishes to you🧞💑
Yes, but I have not lived here in a long time. Big advantage are high wages, and people have a lot of extra things here and luxury, so if you work here and do not these things you can save up a lot when working. That is the biggest advantage.
Haha, saw your latest short video, why was the comment section turned off. Dylan was so cute, isn't that a child labor, hehe, but he seemed to be enjoying the sweeping on the street though.
When I was Swiss, I used to go grocery shopping at Mulhouse(France) next to Basel, especially for meat and dairy products. At that time, 100 Swiss Francs would fetch me 500 FF. Germany isn't cheaper than France. And just imagine here in New York City all the grocery items you mention are just the 1/2 price. You can still buy a Holland eggplant for 50 cents here.
Most people from Basel go to Germany, it is much cheaper than France, and it has been for a long time. Interesting to hear that in NY things are 1/2 cheaper, the USA has just had a 40 % inflation due to the democrats... NY I found very expensive.
@@yvesthesleeve Yes, but only in the housing sector otherwise no inflation. How about buying 3 Agurke for $1 & 2 kopfsalat for .99 - unbelievable. The price per gallon of Gas(petrol) in NYC ranges from $2.75 to 2.99.
Indeed Switzerland is very rich county food prices are somehow expensive than us in UK, because last few years sterling has lost his value rapidly and things looks expensive to us as well. Please will you mention do you have Lidl or Aldi Germen stores which are very famous in Europe UK as cheap stores.
I thought the U.S was expensive but comparing prices, things cost twice as much in Switzerland. Our imported cheese, chocolates are even cheaper and I am considering the brands and weight. I guess something else you don’t have are coupons. I can get things for very cheap and with that I mean almost for free by just couponing which isn’t a common practice in Europe. Die Eidgenossen werden richtig über den Tisch gezogen. Ich dachte Deutschland wäre schlimm aber die Schweiz schießt den Vogel ab. Ich bin doch nicht blöd und zahle 8 Franken für 15 Eier. Ich glaube mein Holzbein bekommt Äste. I pay $3.99 or 2.79 for 20. Although I have to admit that I would rather pay more for dairy products and make sure that our farmers get fair prices for their products. Milk should be more expensive than water or sodas but that’s just me. I don’t know how you guys do it but I am glad I live in the States.
There are some coupons but not like in the US and it is not used very much in Switzerland. And yes, I would not want to pay 8 francs for 15 eggs but here that is not so out of the ordinary as people earn a lot of money.
❤ self service we now have trollies in Australia that add up your groceries when you put them in,,and pay by card when finished no checkout it's disgusting plus trying to get rid of cash sales prices are about the same,as our dollar is only 65 US cents
Like us Canadians used to cross the border to buy stuff in USA but now we can't because the US dollar is worth much more than Canadian dollar so it's not worth it.
Rice cultivation is a very labour intensive (RICE PADDY SOWN BY HAND)and water consuming process hence the price.Water is an expensive natural resource.Hence the price, i feel it is still cheaper---farmers are not getting worth their hard work.
@@yvesthesleeve I’m from there with realy good salary but this much of average savings is impossible for average people. My huseband have average salary of 18’000 but we can never put aside so much.
@yvesthesleeve OK, why you don't go to Turkey the food their is delicious and their currency is cheap compared to Dollar currency so you can buy and live cheap there.
Les prix sont chers en suisse Moi j'achète à lidl et les viandes en France lol Vous avez déjà quitté le Maroc ? Vous êtes restés combien au Maroc ? Salam de lengnau suisse allemande
10 k a month is nothing special, but still more than average Joe

many thanks, I am glad

Thank you very much for showing us the goods/stuff sold from aisle to aisle at this big supermarket. I would love that chocolate section 😂😀😁
that chocolate section is a good one...
Loved the video. Please show us a few more home food recipes that you eat in Swizerland.
Let´s see, unfortunately only a few people are watching....
Thank you, remarkable video 👍
I am glad you liked it
This is very interesting
I a glad
Well, most of stuff is cheaper than our grocery here in Canada.
That's incredible, Canadians make less money, but that Trudeau has truly screwed that country over.
I love to shop at leCler in Saint Louis but in Germany we get the taxes back so I go there often however as I live in Switzerland I support the shops here and love to go to the farmers market
It´s a good thing you support your local shops, then again it all also works against you in many ways... it is a broken world.
Good video
Thanks

Well, those big supermarkets in Switzerland are actually cheaper than little shops here
❤ moonshines greetings from Australia visited a Migros in Brig and we saw a whole aisle of chocolate only!!!!😅
lots of chocolate 😀
But I think since you are brought up there you are used to taking advantage to some extent. And we are also very lucky to have the experience from a local like you! Best wishes to you🧞💑

We were shocked with food prices when visited Basel few years. We had to cross to the French side to get cheaper options.
Yes, understandibly, Germany is even cheaper
I think with a little more discount around Christmas, New Years or Easter the place could become popular with everyone😎
Oh this is the most popular supermarket chain in all of Switzerland. Except for Coop, it has also alcohol.
Just came home from Black Friday shopping 😂😂😂😂😂 more the discount, more we spend 😂😂😂
Wow. Things are so expensive in the Western world. How do average people survive with the outrageous high cost of living, ridiculous.
It's time for you guys to come back to Malaysia, spend 90 days, do visa run, and come back again for 90 days, at least you can save some expenses.
Haha, saw your latest short video, why was the comment section turned off. Dylan was so cute, isn't that a child labor, hehe, but he seemed to be enjoying the sweeping on the street though.
Didn't know the comments were off...
We wish but we have to survive somehow....

Thank you for this vlog👍. Eat real food...its cheaper in the long run (?). I don't trust much 0rganikc stuff. .its juz me🥰🙃
Exactly my thoughts
I found out that there 50,000 srilankans settled in Switzerland
Yes, lots of Sri Lankans here
I don’t think that an average swiss have 500’000 on their bank acount!
That is the average, but of course some have much more and some have little. But the 500 k is definitely a fact
@@yvesthesleeve

Yes morroko expensive
Pretty much, but not like Switzerland
Morocco very expensive in some places and dirt cheap in most other places.
@@hanichair9001 yes
Mr Moonshine if u could shorten yr video. I find it a bit long. Is only a suggestion. Tq.
I know what you mean.
Migros is huge so long video understandable and he really skipped many more shelf.
Where are you now exactly..... you uploaded videos from Morocco, India, Switzerland .... you confused us about your place now.
We are in Switzerland on a visit but I published some videos I wanted to share

pretty much yes

Me? What makes you think that?
10k? 😂 Most make 6-7
It is nothing special to make 10 k, I said, I did not say everybody makes that

Middle class citizens are screwed 😅😢😂
Being the richest country in the world, the middle class or the poor are almost non-existent or don't want to live there.
Yes you could say that
Exactly
Middle class in Switzerland is High class in most other countries. I'm middle class and have not any problems. Not even near.
@@sagittariusa9012That means the middle class also exists there. This is at least a good sign.
