It's surprising how expensive those sports clothing items are. It's also amazing how quickly we are arriving at another winter season. Ofl the items that Valeria showed, I like the cap she was wearing the most of all. I like wearing caps also, but mine aren't that cute !
I didn’t think Alex was gonna let go of that very soft jacket, you should have gotten Valeria then he would be hugging you all the time!!! Nice video today. I think our shoe prices are about the same as yours. For some top brands which no one I know can afford here are $200 -500 that just crazy I would never pay that amount. Take care stay warm ! Love Lisa and David Give Sheffield a big hug and a kiss from me🥰💕💕💕💕💕
Hi Valeria & Alex - Just catching up on my UTube favourite channels videos. It’s always fun and interesting to see your shopping experiences. Everything is expensive over here right now including food - retail - and housing. Take care and Hi from 🇨🇦 Canada.
Prices seem about the same in my area of connecticut usa. Different brands, same or similar items. You have better selections locally than I do. Thankyou for the insight. Best wishes.
Salary? hehe How quaint a notion. You are in any case, correct. We have seemingly unlimited dollars. Its interesting that prices are only now reaching a parity.@@eqntdhjn
Love Alex’s attachment to that fleece jacket. Very surprised that prices are comparable to the UK but surprised there are so many ‘western’ brand names still available there. Guessing it’s sanctions for the smaller firms but the capitalist corporations get free rein 🤷🏼♀️
There are no sanctions for sportswear. If individual companies left the russian market, it was their decision. The same applies if some companies continue to have a presence in Russia.
6:30. Those combination fork knife spoon is amazing! We have trouble to find sneakers here in Morocco due to men's size 46 is not for sale. So only option is to buy in other country if we go or mail order! Also name brand sneakers are double price of Europe
It looked like you have nice selections for shoes. The price are very similar to what we pay here in the US, which I was surprised. The brand Columbia is a good brand. Their shoes/ boots are nice. I like their fleece jackets.
I tried to find uk prices for the things you looked at but a lot of them aren't available in the UK, the first boot Alex picked up is around the equivalent of 20 usd in the UK, I think most puma trainers would be around 40-50 usd in the UK. the orange fleece is equivalent to 35 usd in the UK. our coffee from a vending machine would be about 2 dollars equivalent in UK. so some things are cheaper and some more expensive. we have loads of strange sayings in England and when somethings are better and some are worse and they balance themselves out we'd say that it was swings and roundabouts. which is a bit of an odd saying really!
@sharonmaresh: I'm a Minnesotan and prices are irrelevant in comparison to income thus your income and economy dwarfs the average Russian by alot. Cheaper does not equal ability to purchase. Sanctions are actually working but because the average Russian is Stoic, they will suffer it without change sadly.
@@ImForwardlook Average salary in August 2023 in whole Russia is 69.439 rubles, that's $750, not $300. If average salary in Russia was so low, there wouldn't be any shopping mall or store opened.
I am glad she is using relatable American music for her UA-cam channel. It makes the videos easier to watch. Hope she keeps the music service she is paying for,
I know the blue small gas container. I use the big one for a one plate gas stove. Do you have socks for very cold conditions? I bought Mohair socks. It's very thick at the bottom and warm.
Valeria and Alex , Thank you for showing us your shops at the mall . I noticed you said Columbia , that is a sporting goods brand sold at sporting goods stores or online ., here in the USA. Good quality , not cheap prices ! Sporting goods are not cheap and last well ! If you ever visit the USA, let us know . Would be fun to meet up ❣️
Columbia Sportswear is based near Portland, Oregon, and is famous for ads with former board chair, Gert Boyle sending people to inhospitable environments to test the company's products. Besides Columbia, their brands include Sorel, Mountain Hardware, and Prana.
- Valerie, you should do a video on how you learned English and how you continue to improve on your English. Also, it would be interesting if you gave us one or two new Russian words in some of your videos.
I don't know if it's local taste or not, but the footwear looks like older models. It has an early to mid-2010s look to it. Also, you can probably save $15-20 by buying them online. I know Amazon doesn't do business in Russia, but there must be another such retailer by now. I recently watched a video about the income of the average Russian, and these prices seem to be inaccessible to large swathes of the public. This is disheartening on all accounts, the folly of ego!
Prices are pretty comparable to the prices here in the US. I do not see much difference. Now what I find interesting is most of those items are made in China not in the US, I thought you got them for way less.
I am soooo sorry ...very upswtcans angry that my ignorant barbaeic country does this to the wonderful, beautiful people of Russia. I wonder why our country, our peoole are not sanctioned. It is nit my fault, but PLEASE know many people in USA/Canada are WITH YOU....Sheffy and the beautiful people of Russia.
What is the average salary in Moscow/Russia ? Your prices are similar to Ireland but I imagine your average salary is less than us (€14.85 per hour /$16) 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
@@ImForwardlook The lowerest paid advertised job I saw was 63k rubles, that's Vkusno & Tochka. I literally haven't seen any other job ad lower than that.
@@annasawyer9433what are you talking about? In Moscow average salary is at least $1300. In whole Russia average salary in August was 69439RUB, that's $750.
Wow that was a big store with a lot of big prices. I am glad to live in Florida as it gets 50F and we are in a deep freeze 🥶 😂😂. Tomorrow will be 75F I’m still wearing flip flops 🩴 😂😂!
Your prices are much better than in Alberta , Canada . Good to see your both having a good life in Russia considering the situation . Stay Safe Always , God Bless you both !!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I was showing my nephew a DIFFERENT RUSSIA and found this vlog. I can’t believe I missed this shopping trip.❤
Alex has such a sweet smile
I was surprised to see the shoes cost about the same as they do in Arkansas, USA. Yet, the salaries in Russia are generally lower.
Multiply those prices by 10 and you get a realistic comparison
you can't really compare like that.. read ImForwardlook post..
Shopping is shopping. True words girl. Enjoy.

Sports clothing is always expensive wherever you go.. the only shop i know that is reasonably cheap is French Decathlon.😅
Alex looks very happy with the soft fuzzy material ❤❤

Your shopping center looks lovely and thank you for showing us round your sporting goods stores, I hope Alex found a pare of trainers😊😊
Thank's for your Videos
I enjoy watching them
Love those display tents. They would be perfect for Barbie dolls.
It’s always nice to see you out and about.

I always dreamed of visiting, especially Moscow. I am for3ver fan of the CSKA Red Army Hockey club

@jsmythib: Prices the same means you are paying alot less in comparison to U.S. salaries to Russias.
But your net salary is about $2500 per month, and average salary in Russia is about $400.

Interesting
Over here in USA some sneakers ..like Air Jordan's are $250 and higher

The full saying was "What you win on the roundabouts you lose on the swings" so, over time that got shirtened to "swings and roundabouts "!
So what sneakers did he get? I liked the first brown ones. 🙋🏼♀️
last time got 8inch steal toe boots was wall Mart about $60.00 cheep ones, but go as high $300.00.I say shoes are way over pierced.

If you'd make 300 bucks per month your opinion might be different.

I thought Alex was getting emotionally attached to the gray, furry jacket.
I think your prices are comparable to ours here in Kansas
Sauf que le salaire n'est pas équivalent....😢
Hi. 🤗!
Hi Tabu 😊
I thought there was sanctions on , in that store does not look it
Tents for Teddy's :)
It's fun going shopping with you. 😊 God bless!

Valeria not Valerie
What time of day did you go and on what day of the week? There is no people in the store?
November 10. There were people. Not many. but some people were in the shop. I tried not to film them

Similar to UK prices, but think.our wages and pensions are higher than in Russia.
Prices for shoes are not very different here.
Your husband is so cute
Are the clothing items in those stores made in China just like ours are? Thank you. ❤
Usually yes
C'est dommage
Northland , American
Canadian prices will be almost 2x more than your prices on all items. The tents would be closer to 4x more
Ooph, those shoes are unaffordable for russians with an average wage 😨
Then why they are sold there?
