Comparing Grocery store shopping in Brazil with the USA.

- Today I will take you on a journey with me to the Grocery store Zona Sul in Leme Rio de Janeiro Brazil. There are also some located in Copacabana and other places. It took me a couple trips to finally get a membership card with them. The membership card allowed me to get huge savings.

In the United States, it’s more than a food safety recommendation that eggs be refrigerated - it’s the law. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) determined that the best way to fight Salmonella contamination is by sanitizing the eggs before they reach the consumer. The washing process removes contaminants, but it also removes the natural coating of the egg, leaving the shell porous. On U.S. commercial egg farms, it is required that eggs are thoroughly washed and immediately refrigerated before they leave the farm and during transportation to the grocery store.
In other parts of the world, such as Europe, authorities approach the threat of Salmonella quite differently. Eggs there are not required to go through extensive washing, which leaves the protective coating on the egg. Because this coating remains on the eggs, authorities feel it is safe for them to be sold at room temperature. In some European countries, vaccines are used to prevent Salmonella in laying hens.
In America, food safety officials emphasize that once eggs have been refrigerated, it is critical they remain that way. A cool egg at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria that could enter the egg through its porous shell.
It makes sense, since Brazil is too hot, they can't cool it in the market
Very interesting
I always keep eggs in the refrigerator.
When I'm at home I do also
_sharing your video to bro's I don't like that coconut water I tried it not my cup of tea. lol. 18 Eggs for .97_
Thanks I appreciate that. I'm always buying coconut water either from street vendors bottling it straight out the coconut or I get this version from the grocery store.
@@PassportAction _that is cool bro keep on dropping gems for the bros._
yeah you should Invite some chics to come over and cook for you... cool video though my dude.
Thanks I appreciate it.
You under paid that shampoo in the States would cost half of your bill you plaid.
Hard to say because where I live the dollar stores and Walmart be selling stuff like that cheap. I'm going to check next time I go to Walmart. Its not the type of shampoo and conditioner I usually use but I needed something
Facts I live in Connecticut which is not a cheap state. I was at Walmart yesterday and with tax that small mouth wash was about 4$. The shampoo and conditioner would be easily 10$. Bananas 3$. The only thing you can get cheap here is water if you buy in bulk. I guess it also depends on what part of the US you're in. Things in the south tend to be cheaper.
@@jscott7432 yea I live in the south, but inflation here is starting to get crazy. The prices of everything have been going up
Don't forget the tortillas, you could have yourself some breakfast burritos.
I'm not sure If they sell them there or not
How you doing brother? Hope all is well. I enjoyed your Brazil videos. Any more suggestions of eating places in copa?
Beautiful! Peace!
Definitely 🍻
Eggs are processed differently in the US requiring refrigerating. Eggs do not require refrigeration in other countries.
This sure doesn't look like some poor third world country to be and isn't this one of the most expensive sections of Rio de Janeiro? Yes I find cooking for yourself is much cheaper but that just my experience. Maybe you could find a Brazilian to show the ropes?
Brazil is definitely not on par with America on things such as infrastructure, economy etc but I definitely would not call it a poor country at all. This area is Leme so yes it would cost alot more then staying near the airport or more north.
Brazil is a poor third world country but even poor third world countries have middle class areas nowadays.
@@FOLIPE I'm wondering have you ever been to Brazil. The United States is supposed to be one of the most wealthy countries in the world you have probably never been to the United States either but that is poverty, homelessness hunger and out of control violent in America and you have the nerve to call Brazil a poor violent third world country, you are a typical hypocritical clown.
@@PassportActioncalifonia id poor lol
I buy all my fruit from the street vendors which comes out much cheaper. I then use Rappi and have the groceries delivered to my apartment.
To use rappi there I believe you need a Brazilian like social security number same as ifood. Also I do always see alot of street vendors on the back streets in copa
@@PassportAction You only need to link rappi to a debit card. I use it for everything from ordering food, alcohol and groceries to getting items delivered from the mall. It works in Colombia as well.
@@Christopher0632 I knew it works in Colombia but for some reason I thought I tried it in Brazil also. I will definitely give it another try
@@PassportAction next time you are in Brazil go to “Receita Federal” Brazilian IRS and they will give you a tax number “CPF” and you will be all set!
If you don't know the items name in Portuguese you have Google lens on your phone that can translate hopefully it can also translate the expiration date on items bought. It's also best to refrigerate eggs and similar dairy products. You can keep things like fruit out on the counter.
You sure it's best to keep the eggs in the refrigerator?
@@PassportAction That's how it's done in the west. I have no idea why Brazilians keep eggs out, maybe because of the cost to refrigerate idk
@@ApolloLeRoux North Americans and Australia and Japan refrigerate eggs. Europe and majority if not all other countries do not. It's interesting. Made me read 📚
PA $20 US dollars sound like gringo pricing it's just too expensive,The 5 bananas should've cost you $1.00, water 8 bottles of water $4.00 they probably got on the sausage then you got them extra thick in which you pay double.10 Eggs should only cost you $1.79 you got the jumble size. A small loaf of bread should've cost you $0.89 cents
Yeah it seems kinda more expensive but I don't know how much the shampoo and conditioner and mouth wash added on
Great videos,how long you intend staying in Rio?
I appreciate that. 🙏🏾
Maybe this has been answered, or if don’t mind sharing What’s Brazil entry requirements? I know for Carnaval
Next month they’re doing the Big parade but not the smaller ones. I wasn’t sure on the latest updates of entry, will they allow unvaccinated with a covid test?
I'm not sure the entry requirements. That all depends on you nationality etc. Right now stuff changes alot so if you are American check out the state department website
Hey Passport Action here is some advice buy a water distiller from amazon and make your own drinking water for free and never buy bottle water again, it's free so as long you have electricity were ever you are at the time. I've been doing this for 3 years now and have not bought a single bottle water since. I even use salt water from the ocean and it comes out clean. Learn about water distillers it will save you money and drinking water is free.
Thanks u will look into it
$20 is a steal in New York, one coconut water would probably be like $3.99
Them coconut waters was expensive though. I think 14 or 15R. I could buy a coconut on the boardwalk for 5R less than 1 dollar
Let’s gooo
💯
@@PassportAction olives and vodka let’s go
Rum
@@PassportAction check me out I’m in Medellin
@@dyblifestyle that's what's up
You definitely saved bro! You would of needed another 19 trying to get all that at Walmart in the States!
I think that depends on where you live in the USA. I live in the south so alot of stuff here is around the same price
PA put the eggs inside the refrigerator to avoid salmonella poisoning as the warm temperature increased the chances of contamination and avoid altogether getting diarrhea and hugging the toilet.
You sure?
It's always seeing how things like Grocery store are different in other countries
For the most part Brazil reminds me of back home alot. Basically same setup just a different language and some different foods such as fruits and vegetables we don't have here
@@PassportAction How long have you been in Brazil now?
Whoa.
Check out the affordable prices.
Are they affordable compared to where you live? I know in Brazil that is a more expensive store
That's a lot of items. Listening, the eggs and bananas gonna run you 10-15 bucks. Sausage is gonna run you 3-5 bucks. That's a good deal.
Eggs and bananas is cheap where I live in the USA. A carton of 12 eggs can be bought less than $1 lol
@@PassportAction yeah that's true, bananas aren't that expensive. But eggs for less than $1, I wouldn't trust them 🤣
@@restlesman where do you live?
That red snapper less then seven dollars! what! The prices in Sosua didn't seem this good. Still ended up spending real money in the markets.
That is probably per lb. I need to go back and watch to see what you are seeing.
@@PassportAction It's at 2:10 for "34.90 Reais"
Converting to USA is the same as $3.17 a pound!
If you are not intending to eat it in a couple of days, it's better cool it.
How long do they last out the refrigerator?
@@PassportAction I guess 2-3 weeks. The worst can happen is it get rotten
Do you need vaccine get to rio??
I would consider being fully vaccinated before going
Completely skipped that ladies story on line 😂
Nah she was trying to explain to me why she got out of line.
Yeah that's why I was cracking up; she tried to give you a long-winded story when you already gave her a spot in line.
Wat up fam I heard the country is 70% closed and there will be no carnival in Feb is that cap bro bro
I dont know about Brazil as a whole but Rio de Janeiro is open. But No carnival in February
Interesting, and informative video man. BUT are there ANY American brands in Brazilian grocery stores? Besides Pepsi and Coke. Talking Kraft Mac and Cheese, Ragu pasta sauce etc?
Not that I've seen
@@PassportAction Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in retiring there. Guess I'll just have to adapt. 🙂
Brazilian here. There are some, you can find them mostly in supermarkets like Sam's Club or St Marche.
Kraft Foods is present in most supermarkets in Brazil, mayonnaise, philadelphia, also kellogs corn flakes, oreo cookies, milka, and many other brands, but also many national brands:
Garoto, Lacta, Nescau, ClubSocial, Trakinas, Passatempo, Bauducco, Neugebauer, Itubaina, Guaraná antartida, I recommend trying these brands too.
