I just compared your prices with those of my local grocery store here in Canada. The average person in Moscow would pay around double of what the average Canadian would pay for 1kg of tomatoes and about 3X more for 1kg of beef... calculated on an average monthly salary of 125,000 rubles in Moscow.
Most things were much less expensive apart from the cheeses, which is odd because the milk was considerably cheaper. I haven't been shopping regularly but that is my general take from your shopping visit, it was well done and spent the right amount of time on each item. I have noticed that wheat and other cereal products are now quite expensive.
@@Edelwulf These Russian food prices are incredibly low compared to what we are paying here in Mississippi for these same foods! I am amazed at how low these Russian food prices are! I knew they were lower, but these prices in the video are incredibly low! Wow! Great video!
Yes, we have a lot of supermarkets in Moscow, so there are not so many people inside. And plus I have made this video in working hours (day time), means most of people are working now.
@@annaglobaltravel Ok, Maybe I am not lucky. All the videos I saw lately are the same, lots of goods, few customers and empty trolleys.

One thing that i cant stand is the low quality beef sold in Russian chain supermarkets, its terrible and overpriced. This isnt a problem when you live somewhere with a lot of "home meat" markets in Russia. But desirable locations to live in Moscow all are just filled with chain supermarkets and its quite a hassle to find good beef. Restaurants in Moscow are some kind of horror show(yes im talking about some of the most premium locations), zero quality control and overpriced compared to EU countries which have much higher quality restaurants. Most westerners who say on youtube the restaurants are good in Moscow are simply lying for the camera or are so unhealthy and fat they wouldnt even know what "quality" food is in the first place.
@@annaglobaltravel High quality red meat doesnt cause weight gain and is actually one of the healthiest most nutritious foods in the world. But i noticed a big trend in Russia a lot of people stop eating red meat for weight loss reasons and i thought this was very interesting until i saw how poor the quality of the red meat was in most cities, it causes bloating, very hard to digest and doesnt provide the energy boost that high quality read meat provides from home meat markets or the red meats in other countries. I think Russia should try to bring more attention to this as red meat is a vital food especially for men.

Compared prices to Latvia. Expected a bigger difference. Some products like meat and some vegetables are sligtly cheaper in russia. Cheese however is a bit more expensive. Milk, beer, potatoes, tomatoes, sausages are about the same price. Keeping in mind that the average salary and pension in Latvia is twice as big, that's not cheap.
Prices are similar to those in Poland, with the average Polish salary being around 7000 [PLN] = 1750 [USD] = 175000 [RUB] which is 3 times more than the average Russian salary of 50000 - 6000 [RUB] so not cheap, and the prices are from September, wait until the new year because now the Russian government is doing everything to maintain prices, but from the new year it will no longer be able to maintain prices and inflation (inflation is not slowing down, it is accelerating even after raising interest rates) at the current level

Grocery prices don't seem too bad but mortgage prices with average interest rates around 22% that's a different matter! And property prices are going through the roof. Russian real estate crisis incoming.
Those prices in rusia are almost there are 30 to 50% less than in americas. For example your coffee 1498 ki we pay 700 for 14 oz Our meat is by lb. So prices here are the same. Vegetables are double here, in america tomatos about the same. Abovcado the same.. Fish about the same
It is quite stupid to compare prices between countries. The relation is what matters, not the price alone. The price itself actually says nothing about the actual value. It should actually be completely obvious to everyone that citizens in Russia can afford less and less.
now that the value of the ruble has halved against the euro , to us Europeans the prices seem low , but to a Russian employed or retired person they are high .
Looks expensive if I compare to european prices at 1 EUR = 100 RUB and take into account the average russian salary of ~50k. Vegetables are cheap but everything else you can get at that conversion rate for the same or even cheaper, especially during price cuts. I wonder whats going to happen if taxes, interest rates and inflation grow even more.. And shortages of certain products hit the shelves. Also next year oil prices might dump to a new low. I wonder if vegetable, egg prices are controlled by the government?
The government forced price cuts (blackmailing suppliers) on yaks, bread, potatoes, chicken. P.S. The West has not imposed any sanctions on food, and Western companies that have moved out of Russia have done so out of fear of nationalization (Russia is stealing their property) and pressure from Western societies that do not like how Russia has attacked its neighbor and is killing people.
Prices in Russia are deceptively cheaper. But cheaper for whom? If you are holding US Dollars or Euros then you're going to have a party. But is that the case for ordinary Russians? I believe not.
It's all fine, nothing going on, the usual. We hear a very different story from Russians outside Russia who talk to their families inside Russia reporting the situation.................. You cannot have a positive and negative story about the same products.
No need to fool people. Why lie and write this BS? The avg salary in June 2024 acc. to Rosstat 156'427 Rub ~ $1750. The avg salary in Russia is 89'145 ~$1000, but prices in small towns are also less.
@@Alx_T. What are you talking about, fast food workers earn $3200.00 per month, teachers can make $100,000.00 per year or over $8000.00 per month and we are talking elementary school.

Anna, this is a great video! I am amazed! Even with all these sanctions imposed against Russia, the food prices in Russia are far less expensive than in the USA! Far less!!!! I noticed that the food prices for Russian dairy products, vegetables and fruits, meats, and sweets are much better than anything we can find in the USA right now! It appears that the sanctions have hurt the countries that were issuing the sanctions much more than they have Russia! The grocery store looks amazing too! It appears to be similar to a chain of stores called "WalMart" here in the USA! But, these food prices in Russia are far better than they are here right now in almost very category! If Teresa and me were paying these lower prices for food, we could afford many things that we cannot right now! Thank you for this video! We can't wait to go there next Summer! Save us some of that great Russian food! 😍😍😍😍
Cullan, if we compare prices for food, we should mention the salary. Average salary in Russia 400 USD per month, in USA it is much high, right? So for you food is not expensive, but for us it is expensive.
@@annaglobaltravel Anna, I see that part of it too, but you wouldn't believe the food prices here right now! The food prices have absolutely gotten to the point that when I go grocery shopping with Teresa I have to close my eyes!!!! I think the USA government is doing this on purpose to make people more and more dependent on the government! We need an entirely new government! The monthly salary of 400 USD might be 5 times lower than in Mississippi, but these food prices are almost 10 times lower if I am calculating correctly!
Another thing is that this film shows prices in a large supermarket in Moscow and not in a smaller store in a small town 100-200 km away from Moscow or another large city where the goods have to be delivered, which is associated with an additional cost (there the prices are about 20% higher, and the choice of goods was limited and now it is even more so, I know because I know people there). Putin will never allow the effects of Russia's unlawful attack on its neighbors to be seen in Moscow or other large cities. He will import eggs, butter (now they import butter in Russia even from Arab countries and New Zealand just to avoid showing empty shelves, so what if the price is twice as high, the important thing is that it is on the shelf) and potatoes just to avoid showing how bad it is. It is different in small towns where there are fewer people and they can shout that it is bad and no one will hear it anyway (at most they will get a club in the head and go to prison and then to the trenches somewhere in Ukraine).

Don't be worried about the crap food that left- they did you all a favor. You all don't need High Fructose Corn Syrup or GMO's.
I think the sanctions have hurt the countries that imposed the sanctions far worse than they have hurt Russia in any way! I am amazed by these prices!
@@cullancrothers isn't that the truth, Cullan -- our Anna is not convinced, but maybe we can convince her. keep those prices coming! Not to mention gas, housing, all of it-- even insurance rates, house and auto -- we could go on and on -- i think we might be near the same age? I am 61.
@@Edelwulf Yes! I am 64 and Teresa just turned 60, so we are feeling the effects of the high prices in a huge way right now! Our incomes are way lower than what they once were and the prices on everything are way higher! Not a good combination of things! I wish there was a simple way to move us, our pets, and all of our belongings to Russia, but we have accumulated so many things over the years that I don't know how to do it!
@@cullancrothers Do an Estate Sale- Pass on large family heirlooms to other family members- keep photos and small things. Put your house up for sale. Sounds like your wife is open to the idea? Mine is not, and I won't divorce her over her decision on it. Don't take heavy things, and nothing electronic. The power is different there. I believe their cycles is 60, or it may be 50, as Germany was.
@@Edelwulf Thanks! We are going to find a way to get to Moscow next Summer and maybe we can find out about a lot of things!The sanctions have made the flight paths kind of ridiculous, but we have spoken with a Russian girl in the New York consulate that can help us find an acceptable route! You did great on the show today! Everyone had fun learning! I was in an old storage room at my job...my secret lunch office! I will watch the rest of the show tonight! It was fun meeting you today! Anna is a great host!
Love ya
You are a beautiful my dream woman
You most visit my country anna
You must visit my Country 😊
@@danikhan662 welcome to Russia
Grocery prices don't seem too bad but mortgage prices with average interest rates around 22% that's a different matter! And property prices are going through the roof. Russian real estate crisis incoming.
Those prices in rusia are almost there are 30 to 50% less than in americas. For example your coffee 1498 ki we pay 700 for 14 oz
Our meat is by lb. So prices here are the same. Vegetables are double here, in america tomatos about the same. Abovcado the same.. Fish about the same
It is quite stupid to compare prices between countries. The relation is what matters, not the price alone. The price itself actually says nothing about the actual value. It should actually be completely obvious to everyone that citizens in Russia can afford less and less.
So is it more expensive?
yes
now that the value of the ruble has halved against the euro , to us Europeans the prices seem low , but to a Russian employed or retired person they are high .
right
Looks expensive if I compare to european prices at 1 EUR = 100 RUB and take into account the average russian salary of ~50k.
Vegetables are cheap but everything else you can get at that conversion rate for the same or even cheaper, especially during price cuts.
I wonder whats going to happen if taxes, interest rates and inflation grow even more.. And shortages of certain products hit the shelves. Also next year oil prices might dump to a new low.
I wonder if vegetable, egg prices are controlled by the government?
@@mnla1978 I don't know what kind of products goverment control. But yes, all became expensive.
Average salary of 50K? It was 1.2 million Rubles in 2023. I'm guessing you mean in euros but that would be only 11,400 euros, a lot lower than 50K.
The government forced price cuts (blackmailing suppliers) on yaks, bread, potatoes, chicken. P.S. The West has not imposed any sanctions on food, and Western companies that have moved out of Russia have done so out of fear of nationalization (Russia is stealing their property) and pressure from Western societies that do not like how Russia has attacked its neighbor and is killing people.
@@aries6776cashier in such supermarket earns 500euros per month
Yes that equates to around 4 dollars for 1 can. A pint in a bar must be around 10 bucks.
I love russia 🇷🇺 from India 🇮🇳 ♥️ ❤️
Prices in Russia are deceptively cheaper. But cheaper for whom? If you are holding US Dollars or Euros then you're going to have a party.
But is that the case for ordinary Russians? I believe not.
@@4rct1c9Ic3m4n right
It's all fine, nothing going on, the usual.
We hear a very different story from Russians outside Russia who talk to their families inside Russia reporting the situation..................
You cannot have a positive and negative story about the same products.
Prices seem cheap to US but then your average wage is 1/10 of ours.
No need to fool people.
Why lie and write this BS?
The avg salary in June 2024 acc. to Rosstat 156'427 Rub ~ $1750.
The avg salary in Russia is 89'145 ~$1000, but prices in small towns are also less.
@@Alx_T. What are you talking about, fast food workers earn $3200.00 per month, teachers can make $100,000.00 per year or over $8000.00 per month and we are talking elementary school. Sure their are places that pay less but the average min. wage in Russia is $1.23 per hour, US is 11.80, most states require at least $15.
@@lastmanlost Only the "alternatively gifted" talks about income all the time, completely "forgetting" to mention expenses, prices, taxes, PPP, etc.
A year ago Forbes stated the average salary in Moscow in July 2023 141.900 rubles.
This year according to Rosstat, the average salary in Moscow for June 2024 is 156,427 rubles (~$1,750 at the rate 1$=90₽), while taxes are only 13%, the total net salary after taxes is $1,520.
The average salary in Russia in June was 89,145 rubles (~$1,000), but prices are also lower in smaller towns.
And this is while utility bills for a 2-3 room apartment are ~ $100 per month (percentage of property owners is very high ~85%), mobile phone with unlimited Internet is $8 per month, unlimited home Internet is $6 per month, subway or bus fare is $0.6 regardless of the length of the route, cheap taxi, car sharing, services etc., and this is while education and health care are free. No one in Russia is afraid of losing their job, becoming bankrupt and destitute, if they suddenly get seriously ill.
The purchasing power of the ruble in Russia is very high and much higher than the dollar in the US. According to the IMF, the coefficient is about 3.5, i.e. for $1,000 in Russia you will receive goods and services, as for $3,500 in the US.
The average Muscovite has *net income after paying all taxes* - $1'520 per month on food, on utility bills ($100), on entertainment etc. So net income after taxes is: $1'520 x 3.5 = $5'320, as if he lived in the US.
In terms of PPP, Russia has become the fourth economy in the world since 2021, overtaking Japan, and became the first economy in Europe.
The World Bank has transferred the Russian Federation to the category of high-income countries.
And there are no beggars, tents and human sh** on the streets, like in... well, you know where.🙂

Anna, this is a great video! I am amazed! Even with all these sanctions imposed against Russia, the food prices in Russia are far less expensive than in the USA! Far less!!!! I noticed that the food prices for Russian dairy products, vegetables and fruits, meats, and sweets are much better than anything we can find in the USA right now! It appears that the sanctions have hurt the countries that were issuing the sanctions much more than they have Russia! The grocery store looks amazing too! It appears to be similar to a chain of stores called "WalMart" here in the USA! But, these food prices in Russia are far better than they are here right now in almost very category! If Teresa and me were paying these lower prices for food, we could afford many things that we cannot right now! Thank you for this video! We can't wait to go there next Summer! Save us some of that great Russian food! 😍😍😍😍
Cullan, if we compare prices for food, we should mention the salary. Average salary in Russia 400 USD per month, in USA it is much high, right? So for you food is not expensive, but for us it is expensive.
@@annaglobaltravel Anna, I see that part of it too, but you wouldn't believe the food prices here right now! The food prices have absolutely gotten to the point that when I go grocery shopping with Teresa I have to close my eyes!!!! I think the USA government is doing this on purpose to make people more and more dependent on the government! We need an entirely new government! The monthly salary of 400 USD might be 5 times lower than in Mississippi, but these food prices are almost 10 times lower if I am calculating correctly!
@@cullancrothers ok, I got it.
You may have healthy food but you life expectancy is very low

Another thing is that this film shows prices in a large supermarket in Moscow and not in a smaller store in a small town 100-200 km away from Moscow or another large city where the goods have to be delivered, which is associated with an additional cost (there the prices are about 20% higher, and the choice of goods was limited and now it is even more so, I know because I know people there). Putin will never allow the effects of Russia's unlawful attack on its neighbors to be seen in Moscow or other large cities. He will import eggs, butter (now they import butter in Russia even from Arab countries and New Zealand just to avoid showing empty shelves, so what if the price is twice as high, the important thing is that it is on the shelf) and potatoes just to avoid showing how bad it is. It is different in small towns where there are fewer people and they can shout that it is bad and no one will hear it anyway (at most they will get a club in the head and go to prison and then to the trenches somewhere in Ukraine).
