What are you watching tonight? Oh, Seinfeld and Cheers
2022:
What are you watching tonight? Some lady doing her grocery shopping in Sweden.
I used to think Sweden was expensive but when I went there earlier this year, it’s made me realise how much the price of everything has increased in the UK except for our salaries. The food there seems to be higher quality too.
Yup😂😂😂😂😢😢😮😮😅😅😅
Same for US, actually it was much cheaper than what I pay on my typical grocery bill in Texas
Absolutely do more videos like this! 😍It was very cool to see the all the products! It’s so fun to see what food items look like compared to here in the US. Thanks for putting up the graphics for the price of every product! 🙏👍🏼 💯
completely agree!
Yes more will come! Glad you liked it Yvette 🙂
@@NordinWalks I forgot to mention I really liked the commentary too! Thanks 😊
@@EveM9964 🙏😊
@@NordinWalks Hey Nordin, someone told me that at their grocery store in Sweden they have a special section up front with all the lost mittens, scarves, gloves, umbrellas so kind of like a Lost and Found It's also in a much smaller community. I wonder if it's a thing in other places in Sweden? Maybe not in big cities like Stockholm. But I'm sure many gloves and mittens get lost on a daily basis. Is there still a tradition of tying them (gloves are mittens) to a string and then putting it through your coat sleeves? It also makes it easier if you have to take them off that can just be hanging off your coat sleeves. My one pair of mittens also came with like little strings already attached so you can put them around your wrists so they don't get lost if you have to take them off
Prices are crazy good compared to the US !! Great store.... think I'll have some Marabou, to have with my kropkakkor tonight !! I live near Chicago, and in a town with a large Swedish history, with many people arriving in the 1920s. We have sill, pepparkakkor (including Anna's and Nyakers), potatiskorv, and many other Swedish foods in stores and one particular restaurant that has been a community staple for generations. I got some Julmust this year- I'd never had it before. It's kind of like non-alcoholic, fizzy glögg !!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been missing Sweden and ICA so much since I returned from my holiday! This has actually made my day 🥰
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Nordin thank you!! I enjoyed this immensely!!
I am glad you enjoyed it Steven!
i like how that mother is having her kids buy their own things. it's a great way to get them to learn by actually doing it in in order to sustain themselves. atleast through my experience i only started cooking for myself in college and by cooking im talking about ramen HAHAHA!! 🤭
My cat stopped licking his fur and looked up when you bought cat food. I think he sensed it. (He's very fat.)
Haha 😸
I would love to see more of this on your channel. I loved the experience of seeing how different your store is to the ones we have in the US, I was surprised that even our cereal doesn't look the same! Who knew!
Glad you enjoyed it. And yes more videos like this will come!
Thank you for guiding us around this supermarket and for showing us what you bought. A few people looked a bit surprised to see your camera. 🤗😎
You are welcome Dik! Haha yes I also noticed that 😆
A great video and I'm obsessed with supermarkets in other countries! I was surprised you can't buy beer or wine in your supermarkets!! It's readily available here in the UK. I spied Kellogg's Frosties and Rice Krispies that we have here in the UK, lol.
Thank you! Yeah thats the rules in Sweden, but I know a lot of other countries have that you can buy in every corner shop
You can buy non-alcoholic beverages and light beer at most supermarkets, but liquor, wine, champagne and other alcoholic beverages is sold only at Systembolaget.
It's fking annoying. I hate it. The only reason we have it this way, is because the state wants to milk us of more taxes. It's superannoying. And then they say "well durr look at the great selection we have" like there wouldn't be specilized stores without the government stores. The selection isn't even that great, tho, I guess I don't have much to compare with..
I like the mart tour. 😃 Enjoyed watching. Thank you. Have a wonderful day 😊
Thanks for showing the prices. This videoa is definitely my favorite swedish supermarket video thus far.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This video was so cool and interesting! Yes, Absolutely Nordin, I would love to see more of these kind of videos, my friend. Thank you lots and have a really nice week! ❤
Thanks Jack, glad you liked it! 🙂And yes more will come 👋
@@NordinWalks ❤️
Love seeing videos like this!
The people seem to just be in their own little world, no one smiles, or says excuse me when moving the carts around and they don’t move out of the way. Very interesting
You get used to it, even blend in after a few years, then your Canadian sister criticizes your Swedishness when you visit her. You really do learn to live in your own little world.
I'd say it's the same here in the states.
This behaviour is the norm in Finland as well. I'm used to it, so it doesn't bother me, except for the moving out of the way part, which I hate. The spatial awareness of Finns in public places is about zero.
They do. Just in this particular store maybe they didn't. I saw one guy who did in this video tho. I've been to many countries, no different.
I usualy watch this type of video made by people living in Russia and I get to learn so words in Russian. This one is the first I see made in Sweden. Even some words look like in english "Ägg" and "glutenfritt". Very relaxing video. Thank you for posting it.
That's because English and Swedish are germanic languages and English came from England, which were invaded and taken over by Scandinavians so some words in english are loanwords from Scandinavian. For example Bread, which is Bröd in Swedish and Brot in Old norse. Then you have just pure Swedish words in english as well like "Smörgåsbord", which I find funny. I don't know why that is.
This will be fun! 😁
I agree!
I loved this one.. Just reminded me I am going to buy some pickled herring today..Thank you so much for this video. Merry Christmas🎄🎆🎅
Thank you 🙂 I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🎄
Wow
Thanks for this video. It was really helpful to get an idea on some of the prices when I come over to visit so really interesting. I love salt and vinegar chips too by the way, lol!!🙏😃
You are welcome Stuart, glad you liked it! Thats nice :D
Greetings from Nova Scotia!🇨🇦. I really enjoy learning about everyday life in other cultures - grocery shopping is something most humans do! Thank You ! Happy Holidays! 🌲
Thanks for watching! Greetings and Happy Holidays 👋🎄
That was interesting - some, items were much more expensive than in the UK and others I was surprised see were lower! All evens itself out.
Doesnt really even out for the people at the bottom tho, considering cost of living is very high and wealth gaps are big. Its basically how parts of the US are. I can't say much about the UK with their wealth gaps so.
You randomly shows up in my UA-cam suggestions, and guess the youtube are introducing other similar youtube channels!
Just wanted to wish you luck on your youtube journey and keep up the good work!
Thanks mate!
This was fun. That ice cream boat you showed sounded amazing. OMG. LOL I love seeing how other stores are in other places. Thank you.
Potatoes and a tube of Swedish caviar, please, and some rusks to go with it. Oh and a hunk of SkiQueen I think it is called, that cheese with the unusual sweet taste.
Thank you for taking us where tourists rarely tread.
Oh yeah the brown cheese? Its more like a Norwegian thing but we have it here as well :-) I like it a lot
Grocery Shopping with nordin :P
:D
Loved this, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm amazed by how stable the camera is riding on a shopping cart
Last year I bought Abba caviar here in Argentina, but I couldn't eat it because it had too much salt. Maybe it should be eaten accompanied with something else, but I don't know what. On the lid you can read: Abba Kungshamn caviar finkorning rom.
Mix it with some crème fraiche and fresh dill on top a cracker or darker type of soft rye bread
@@AmandaAllansson Thank you! Never could I have imagined to eat it that way. The glass jar is very nice. I keep it as a bittersweet memory. 😄😄😄
Great Video! The food prices seem the same to where I live, My Swedish vocabulary increased 10 fold. If I sent you the money could you send me a GLASSBAT. LOL Many Thanks JB
Thanks! Haha they are really good :D
Great video idea!!! Loved it!
Thnk you!
Keep on making shopping trips videos. I love them. Nice label on the hot dogs, and price is cheaper than in the states
Everyone seems so tall
Yes I was about to say the same thing especially the men seem really tall. I guess swedish people are generally tall.
Watching from Australia! Interested to see prices as I’m going to Sweden later this year and will need to do grocery shopping. Prices seem fairly similar to here in Melbourne.
Nordin, you and I shop similarly. I found it interesting that eggs aren’t refrigerated. They are here. My grocery store doesn’t sell beer. Really cool video!
We don't sell eggs from the fridge in the UK either...they're on shelves and, we have beer and wine galore in our supermarkets, lol (over 18's only) :))
@Jeffrey Lemos Aparently the US, I'm guessing you're from there, wash their eggs to get rid of salmonella and in the process a protective layer on the egg is removed and they then have to be refrigerated not to spoil.
In Sweden the risk of salmonella is very low partly because it is tested for regularily and partly because of other measures.
Most of the world doesn't have as tight control over food production as in Sweden, but still most don't refrigerate their eggs, from what I have seen.
:D Thanks Jeffrey! Hmm yeah I always put the eggs in the refrigerator when I come home
Enjoyed shopping walk
Love your beautiful grocery store wish I was there from Canada!
Små förpackningar Uncle Bens är ett rån FYI. Brukade också köpa sånna tills jag såg att kilopriset är typ 2x mot andra större förpackningar.
Fascinating. Firstly, as an American, I tend to move like a racecar driver through the store, although in my vehicle on the street I'm very crash prevention-oriented. So the slower pace of shopping was ASMR for me.
Second, I noticed this store's shopping carts look smaller in capacity, as well as not having the trays on bottom (which my shins always strike, bc of my long legged stride) for larger items, such as American carts usually have for carrying big bags of dog kibble, cat litter or flats of water, paper towels and toilet paper. Are the smaller carts w/o lower trays typical of Swedish stores or just this one?
Third, the camera's point of view being focused on the front edge of the cart, combined with the slow pace, was kind of spooky for me (not complaining, I'm into spooky), like a self-driven car (which I've not yet experienced, but have seen on YT).
Also, thanks for showing the products' appearance and pricing. It looks like another old brand is changing its name to get past a formerly racist image (Uncle Ben's = Ben's, like Aunt Jemima = Pearl Milling Co.). The prices on the whole seem reasonable for the times, though not as inexpensive as they used to be. But that's the way of capitalism.
Thanks for the stroll. Happy holidays!
🎄🎄🎄💙💛💙💛💙💛
Thanks for the comment Belinda! And glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 The bottom trays are usually there as far as I know. A bit different from store to store I guess
Wow the men there are very tall
Here is a video with complete and interesting informations, thanks for your work and please keep going 👍👍👍 I am a fan of no talking shopping videos.
Glad you liked it! :-)
I ❤️ shopping
Fabulous video! THANK YOU!!! I enjoyed so much. I felt the prices weren't so different from the supermarkets where I live in Northern California. The store is gorgeous with good lighting and wide aisles. The other sections I would have loved to have seen are: dried spices/herbs, dog food/treats, detergent/soaps, Asian food ingredients, Hispanic food ingredients (I heard that tacos are popular in Sweden), and tea. I absolutely loved my business trips to Sweden and want to go back. Also would love to see some home goods (kitchen items, interior items, dishware, etc.) shops, plant nurseries, drug shops and do-it-yourself (for the home) shops. I subscribed today! Warm wishes to you and MERRY CHRISTMAS! :) ❤🐕❤🎄❤
That was so nice & super interesting video 😱🔥 At 10:00 I had the same exact reaction 😂 Here in Italy, 1kg of pasta Barilla at the moment is 1.99 euro / 21,70sek 🤔
Thank you Manu! Haha yes 🤌
Love salt and vinegar chips!🤍
This is so interesting! And what a humongous store!
Thanks!
I love salt & vinegar chips and i coming to Stockholm this Monday I definitely need to try Swedish
😘😘😘😘 SALT 🧂VINEGAR CHIPS MY FAVORITE 🤩I will try hummus on my sandwich 🥪
I miss ICA!
Very interesting video.
And shocking for me, living in Portugal, comparing the prices here now. Apart from the meat, which here it's still less expensive, almost all the items have the same prices, some of them are even less expensive there...thinking about that here the avarage salary is 950 euros! Very shocking.
Thank you! Oh yeah and I thought Sweden was expensive. Maybe not then compared to other European countries :-)
That is odd indeed. Average salary here is 3000 Euros. Though, not all earn that much of course. In the US it's like 5000 and they have lower food prices than us. Minimum wage is like 2000 Euros. But then we are also taxed superhigh. Our taxes are insane. Like 50% tax. You pay tax on everything you buy + 30% tax on your salary even higher if you earn a lot of money.
The OLW green onion and dill crisps are among the best crisps in the world!
I love your "supermarket series"
I want you to do it regularly
Thank you! More will come
That was really interesting!
Glad you liked it!
Many products less expensive than in the US, at least the products that I buy. In North Georgia, US
In my experience Dubai and London both are pricey. Although with no taxes and plenty of discounts Dubai softens the blow. Your grocery prices are quite comparable to what we have here in the state's.
Nice tour btw 👍
Tack 💖
Reminds me a bit of Walmart over in the states i guess
Kul att du filmat runt i en ICA-butik. 🙂
Nice to see such videos. Can’t you write the sum at the end of the video or in the description?
Thanks! Yes in the next one I will
I live in Hawaii ( the Big Island specifically) and everyone is always amazed when I say I walk to our strip mall area 2 miles away which has a grocery store and a Walmart and a Target and I get my groceries from all 3 sometimes..downtown area which I go to a few times a week is also only a mile and a half away...my work is a mile away...really don't see the point in driving to these places when they are low in distance...
People like the guy at 2:50 grinds my gears. Either zero awareness of the surroundings or too arrogant or selfish to move his cart to the side. Same sort of people who continues to walk in the middle of a footpath instead of moving to the side when there's a bicycle or similar passing them. For some reason it's seems to happen more when the person is tall.
Prices in canada are out of control 1kg of margerine is 17.99 my fish fillets I like for 7 were 10.99 today 14.99 in one week they went up
Wow. Where I live in Colorado USA prices are triple if not more than what you're showing
this was fun. I would love to see another food shopping trip where you buy what is traditionally swedish.. (none of this cheerios and potato chip junk lol)
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I have one traditional Swedish Christmas video up on my channel
@@NordinWalks cool. i will go look it up!
Good video! it's pretty expensive than Korea. I need bring many food when I visit in Sweden.
Прогулялись по магазину вместе. Спасибо за цены. Но в России в три раза дешевле продукты. Сыр 1 кг.= $10,0, молоко 1л = $ 1,0 , яйца =$1,0 Оу,теперь мы знаем,что у тебя есть кошечка 🐈
12:17 🧔♂️😂 мужчина задумался
У всех очень много продуктов в тележке.В Швеции закупаются на неделю?
The weather is so cold 🥶 in the swede .
That was interesting. Tea - do you drink tea or is it all coffee? I must goggle Swedish cheese - I have no idea what cheeses you have. Very intereting. Don' t know why this popped up for me to watch, but glad I did. Cheers
Yes both tea and coffee :-) Greetings
Most common Swedish cheese is: Hushållsost (a mild cheese that everyone likes), Västerbottenost (for pies and stuff), Prästost (a cheese with more taste, it's very good imo). Then we have a lot of cheeses which are popular but not Swedish, tho sometimes made here, like: Feta, Gouda, Cheddar and such..
None of the grocery stores that I went to when I was in Sweden was that big. Wow this one is like the ones here in the US.
Really? This one isn't that big either. Go to Ica Maxi. That's even bigger. But they are usually in a shopping area outside of the city centre. This is like the medium size. They have 3 sizes. Small, Medium, Big.
Amazing Video.. Thank You
Thanks!
What a lovely video! Also, I have almost the same camera; could you please share how you film? What is the settings you use(like ISO, shutter speed, white balance etc.) and also is it edited/color corrected? Much appreciation
Thank you
It’s odd that people don’t say things like “excuse me”, “thank you”, etc.
Why ?
They do.. but there is no reason to if nobody is in the way. I do it all the time.. if I need to. Some people prefer to be more polite I guess and wait or they are shy
Awesome video Nordin! How long will these groceries last you, on average?
Thank you Michael! Maybe around 1 week
Our cereal is so expensive in the USA now 😢
Salt and vinegar chips are my favorite
Wow prices are sooo cheap compared to US. .. I thought Sweden was one of the most expensive European countries
Cheap? No way. I've seen shopping videos from US and it was much cheaper. Maybe it depends on where you live.
do swedes still use their krone (SEK) as currency?
Indeed.
Yes
It's interesting how the entire video, there was only one attractive woman and she had two kids. People say that Americans are fat, but if you were to go into grocery store in America, you'd see at least 20 to 30 attractive women and maybe 50.
Similiar prices are in my country , some prices are cheaper at you... Would like to try that swedish beer 😁 thanks for the info dude 👍
Its really nice! Thanks for watching Vladimir :-)
Try the Gotlands Bryggeri brand, they make good beer. I saw one here in this vid shelf
better then before, yay... good.... more.... it was cheap to shop 1 year aog now not so cheap...
I fine the price is a little higher than US. Especially dairy products. Is this the cheapest store chaib
i think Ica is one of the more expensive, if you dont buy their own ICA products.
Meh it's not more expensive or cheaper, however this is in a very expensive area in Stockholm
Great video!
Thank you!
Thanks, Nordin. I found many things to be either about the same price as what I would expect in the US or a bit more expensive. I thought that butter was more expensive. The eggs were expensive as well. I would expect to pay $4 here for a 24 pack not a 12 pack. But I just buy the normal ones not the organic, you know, top of the range
Is inflation slowing down in Sweden finally? Is everything about 10 to 15% more expensive than a year ago? Inflation I think is stabilizing here in the US, I haven't seen any huge increases since about September or October
Yeah organic is always a bit more expensive. Unfortunately I dont see any decreasing on the inflation, rather the opposite. Every time I shop I see small price increases
@@NordinWalks if it's any consolation, I think it started in the US earlier than in other countries. Our price increases started probably around March or April of this year, and in the summer the increases were very substantial. But since about September or October they have slowed down a lot and I haven't really seen any jumps since then. Hopefully, it will slow down everywhere else in the world soon.
The prices specifically on stuff like butter and eggs went up like crazy. It's still to this day. Has gone down a tiny bit I think since this video was filmed, but not a lot
is it more budget friendly and cheaper to go from Oslo to buy groceries in Sweden or maybe even Denmark? Thanks.
Ein sehr gutes Video. Es interessiert mich wie die Preise bei den europäischen Nachbarn sind. Danke fürs mitnehmen. 🙂
Greetings from hot, sunny Australia.😊
Merry Christmas to all Swedes.
In our super markets we have only just banned the use of plastic bags.
Our government needs to step up issues around climate change.
We export a lot of coal from south and west coasts of Australia.
Our new government is more focused on energy policy and environmental concerns.
Is everything organic and non gmo? And how long does that haul of food usually last you
Video is very nice and sweet.
How much was the 1 apple?
Everything is so cheap compared to here in Israel. And I was shook to read your remark regarding the Cheerious (that it's expensive). In Israel, cereal box can be as expensive as 30 NIS which is 8.66 dollars! And it's a common price, not something rare.
I don't understand when I saw the prices of grocery food. Is it expensive to buy grocery food like 28,90? What 29,90 means? I am living in America and it is easy for me to buy with America money and I understand about prices in America. 😮
I believe in Europe the comma is used instead of a period as in USA
Why the aisle is so narrow?
😎😀

Has there been conflict between the store owners and a labor union about having self-checkout?
Not big ones, maybe the unions got a good deal out of it, but there are alot of very young people working in grocery stores and they tend not to be unionised.
There is also more of a focus on workers rights, fair wage, overtime pay and what constitutes full time in Sweden in my opinion, and less of a disruptive union practice.
The goal should be a smooth transition into robotisation as opposed to trying to hinder the technological advancements.
If the approach is working at the moment though, I'm not so sure about. Partly because the unions are very weak right if compared historically. But that can change again as long as the politicians stay out of it.
Jag gillar se hur det är i Sth nu för tiden men tänk på att det inte är okej att filma folk utan deras tillstånd. Jag skulle bli jättearg eftersom jag inte vill ha någon film eller bild på mig ute.

I see you love chocolate, as do I. 👍
People like to walk in front of you and block your path.
