The cherries where first season and a box is always expensive until supply ramps up and they drop in price - the bananas shown were organic and are double the price of ordinary bananas whch cost around $3 to$3.50 per kilo - Remember 2.2 lbs equals 1Kg - And yes Australian cities are very clean - Metro mini supermarkets are expensive in the city as the rents are very high and suburban supermarkets are much cheaper
Thanks, wages are high in Australia so it's understandable that things are more expensive
This is so amazing! One day I hope to visit!
You should!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👍
😌
To be fair, you were staying in the most touristy area of Sydney next to the CBD where everything is more expensive. If you went out of the CBD, prices are high but not insane.
Been suckered to the tourist places. Things are cheaper out West. Locals don’t go to the Harbourside or Rocks anymore because it is too expensive and overcrowded.
Thanks for the advice
@@feieverywhere Sydney is basically a bunch of cities joined together. You only saw the CBD where the tourists go, but Sydney has the northern beaches (beachy suburban vibes), lower north shore (chic and leafy) , inner west (hip/cool), eastern suburbs, west (suburban and diverse).
Loved the vlog and the prices, as a local, agree that sydney is expensive :D. Keep up the vlogging! :D
Thanks! My French content is now on my channel
The A2 milk is a special milk it has A2 protein, permeate and additive free. There’s much cheaper milk. Also the apples and other fruit can be cheaper too.
everything in Pyrmont is expensive imo. But as you go further out it gets cheaper
Yes, expensive here. But, it’s a nice place to live in.
We agree!
The prices of groceries in Sydney is due to a number of factors, these include massive and deadly floods in many areas growing food in NSW, higher transport fuel costs and shortage of some fertilisers due Ukraine war, after effects of Covid pandemic (less labour available for agriculture, disruption of multiple supply chains internationally, etc.). You're buying in a more expensive inner city area. As an example, I live in a typical Sydney suburb and bananas at my store are $4, not $7 a kilo. Plus you picked out things that are particularly expensive, because they are niche specialty products, like A2 milk. I felt the constant harping about prices, without giving any context, spoiled an otherwise excellent clip.
I'm just showing what I saw in pyrmont not a whole representation of Sydney
Also there is no mention of the conversion difference between $US and $AU. $7 for the expensive special bananas is about $4.60 US - and bought from a small CBD (central business district) branch of a supermarket. I wonder what the equivalent would cost in the middle of New York City.
Morton and Balmain bugs are my favourite, we eat them at Christmas!
cool i'm glad you like it
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
People are paid much higher wages in Australia than the US.
yes than some US states
@@feieverywhere Minimum hourly adult wage rate in Australia is AU$21.38 (indexed annually). In the US, the federal min. wage is US$7.25 per hour, which the majority of states use. Each state sets its own. min wage, the highest being California with $15.50 per hour. American workers are exploited.
that's a really good point, especially hospitality staff, who get paid properly so you don't need to tip (tipping is nice though).
Mate you were looking at the all the premium organic stuff and you are shopping in the tourist area which is always extra expensive but on the other hand we do sell a box of Mango's for $20,000 ok that's a bit of a joke every year the first box of mangoes is auctioned off to raise money for charity. more standard prices are.
Milk $3.10 2L
Apples $3.10 per kg (prices vary seasonally) roughly 2.2 pounds to a kilo
Bananas 63c each (prices vary seasonally)
The sushi looked really nice must try it if I get down that way
good to know! i'm sure if i dig deeper and shop in local suburbs i could find bargain items.
Grocery prices have gone through the roof post Covid, it almost costs the same to eat out than it does to cook at home.
yes i remember eating out everyday lol
That shirt 🔥
The fish market!!! It looks so big and clean and nice lol
Those bugs at the 7:00 look like giant isopods. I think in florida they eat them too. I would imagine their taste is similar to crustaceans if not sweeter 🤤
And the sushi taco!! Finally! They look way impressive here.
Wow $16 for chicken breast?!? I couldnt do that lol expertise budgetting needed😅
Now i really wonder how the cost of living really is sydney. What do people do for living? How are other expenses managed? Nice informative video!
I looked up Moreton bay bugs, it's available in the Asian pacific region unless exported. It doesn't taste like lobster, it doesn't have that chewy taste, it's more like a crayfish. I tried one in a restaurant it will be in my future videos lol. There was barely any meat in it, it's mostly shell.
Sydney minimum wage is $21.38 per hour and increasing. The cheapest meal I saw around CBD was $13 for a kebab roll lol
Your looking at the highest price item in the store instead of a bargain item.
not looking or bargain shopping to begin with
At least you dont get shot in a car park.
lol 😎
@fei everywhere not funny mate!
Australians are very against littering
I like that
You must know you were cherry picking some of the most expensive items on the supermarket shelves - not cool
🤷♂️
Sydney is too expensive 😬
You can lower the expenses by staying in a hostel. I did that when I visited Sydney for the first time! It was clean and safe! You also get to meet people there! It'll save you so much money! Most Sydney attractions are free. I actually don't think I paid any entry fees for all of the places that I've been to.
Wages are high
You're comparing apples and oranges - the quality here is far superior to the US. Our food is regulated, yours isn't. Maybe do some research before you make a vlog complaining about our prices.
no thanks 😂 if i did what was the point of this video?
Rubbish ! Quality! Go to Europe you will see Quality ! The fruit here don’t have any test ? Te berry is like water ? The apple have no favour ! New Zealand fruit is much better ! All Australian cheese test the same ! Also choice of food in Supermarkets is very limited ? The supermarkets in Australia looks like 7/11 in Europe ! Biscuit in Australia is only Tim Tam ? And five different very limited ? Choice of bread is horrible ! No one in Europe will eat this sort of bead ? You go to coffee shop the cake available is most of the time tiramisu or Black Forest or something what you call chocolate cake and brownies what no one eat ! You pay lots money but everything is old ! You are very far from Quality and food Choice ! Australia is very backwards if comes to food choice and quality
@@EA00000 I buy beautiful fruit and vegetables from local farmers and Flemington markets . So where do you buy your fruit and vegetables? Most likely a supermarket .
I tried to watch your vlog but your fallling into the same rhetoric a lot of you travel channels do , your comparing Aussie prices to American without taking into account a lot of varying factors first of all there's the exchange rate which at the moment $1 us is worth 67c Australian, your shopping in tourist areas where you always pay a premium , the overheads are different because our workers are paidat least $ 21-30 hr and aren't exploited like they are in the US a lot of the items you are comparing were organic ,always sold at a premium ,we don't normally import our fresh fruit and vegetables and a lot are seasonal, and are grown by farmers who have to pay the workers proper wages and also expect to make a living , we don't have a vast pool of illegal immigrants who we can pay peanuts and can't complain . You mentioned that Sydney was very clean , it is , generally speaking all our cities towns and villages are not only because we take pride innot littering but also because our city councils have workers whose job is clean the streets , parks , beaches and open spaces ,the cost is passed on to the taxpayer who pass it on tothe general public . The last time I was in LA before I'd enen left the airport there was a shooting in the street a car chase passed the tour bus on the way into the city and the streets were lined with homless people and all their detritus, Where's your police and street cleaners , my hotel in downtown LA was the same price as the one your staying in and it was clean and efficient with super freindly staff but it wasn't a patch on the luxury your enjoying . I wouldn't have been able to shop for groceries close to the hotel because the owners of the minimart on the same block as the hotel had boarded it up , the owners had left for Florida as a result of 3 holdups and systematic shop lifting with no police protection , the streets smelled of urine and i was constantly accosted by panhandlers who got abusive and aggressive at my refusal to give them money I didn't see LA by night as we were discouraged from walking the streets after dark something I have done in all the countries ive visited without fear and especially in Australian cities . Sorry for the rant , but I don't like to see my country misrepresented and i wouldn't like to think that a potential visitor be put of coming because of something that should be viewed in context . Every one should come visit they'll find a clean safe place populated by a warm freindly multicultural people who are all proud to be Australians and who like to show off this amazing country, don't get me wrong we have our faults like every other country but no one is queueing up to leave
