I'm in Britain and, yes, we do drink a great deal of tea. I have a cup right now :)
Tea 🍵 is consumed here in my country a lot, but I don't drink it at all
She ask about American's not Britains
In Rassia we love tea!
Love seeing the food prices videos. Thank you for sharing.
I’m from US and drink hot tea mainly in winter.
Really enjoy the vodka, coffee, chocolate, and tea prices.
Thought Americans only drank coffee and tea was looked down upon? ( Think Boston tea party)
I have to stop watching your videos. You are too beautiful for me to maintain my objectivity!😢
@stephenreese5921, now that's a comment!
My mum had tea time every day and there are tea houses that serve tea and high tea in Florida and the south. Medicinal teas are also extremely popular like Traditional Medicinals and Yogi Teas. Iced teas are popular in warm weather with Ice tea brands such as Red Rose, Lipton and Tetley.
British brands are also popular for morning and afternoon and high teas. So yes tea is extremely popular in the United States.
Love your videos and the person you appear to be. Keep up the good work and thank you.
This is perhaps the most useful channel/type on youtube. It is language and culture by design, and one day, I would like to be able to read and pronounce the words in my Russian dictionary, but I am a busy guy. Thank you
yes....sweetened iced tea for sure in the southern USA.....many people like it with lemon
Excellent clear presentation of prices as always from Svetlana. And even though food items are not subject to sanctions, the prices are really high for the average Russian consumer - and especially for pensioners, they are overwhelmingly expensive.
Yes! She didn’t anything wrong! Just the people here are insane, and russian trolls are laughing about their own people…harming, how expensive it is for pensioners or every regular Russian. It’s ugly from them to do like Russia would be so cheap…and nice and shining…
@@pat-2024 Russian trolls? Do you live in Ukraine and try to lie to Russian trolls?
Thats why the store are full of goods right?..".because nobody buy them"...or maybe high western salaries are spent on high housing prices beside Taxes and electricity?..
@@bazarkin-pubg Why so?
But if there is any account, subscribed 1 month on YT, user ID, telling only nonsense, lies and BS, for you it’s someone constructive and worth to communicate?
Я не хочу сказать что у нас очень низкие цены по нашим меркам, но никто здесь не умирает от голода, всё нормально. В конце концов у меня позиция такая: если не шевелишься, то не жалуйся на финансовые трудности.
Very interesting! I live in San Jose, California, USA, and you guys have alot of the same food choices that we do
That would be a new topic: You could convey dwellings or houses.
Showing infrastructure and amenities of a place or region.
Like your videos thanks
Yes tea is fairly popular in the USA
I need a bucket of honey to get a cup of tea down !
From the US, morning coffee every day 3 to 4 cups. Hot tea on winter evenings, one or two every couple of weeks. The grocery store coffee sections are large with great variety. Tea usually three or four brands in a very small area, compared to coffee section.
Thanks for this vlog. Very informative, as always!
(You look so cute all bundled up for the cold weather!)
we drink alot of tea in the uk and the ready to eat part looks very nice and beautiful as always 😍
Greetings from Melbourne Australia. Our weather the last 3 days is 38°- 40°Celsius. The majority of items you listed are half price to what we pay. Minimum wage $882.00 AUD per week or $23.23 per hour, and pension payments is $1,680 per month. CHEERS.
Yep a minimum wage worker in McDonald's in Australia earns more than 9 times the average salary of a russian in Siberia. And I am meant to be jealous of crab sticks at 3 bucks a kilo
We do drink tea in the USA. Thanks for the video. Hope you are doing well. Stay healthy and warm. Wondering when is the big trip?
I visited my relatives in southern Russia in 2004. The grocery stores lacked Western food items. But the local food was delicious. When I returned 4 years later, the grocery stores were stocked with Western food items, and the local people had gotten fatter, most likely from consuming the junk food imported from the West.
of course their stores lack Westen products. How many Yakutsk products do you find in London or Los Angeles?
Those dark Russian tomatoes had my mouth watering. There is an opportunity post-Putin
This is what I like with Russia a woman that feels real, kind and humble ...also there seems to be plenty to buy in Russia. Clean and mainly orderly streets...I like it..! Keep it up russians and Svetlana you are doing great in my mind greetings from Sweden..!
Thanks
Thank you!😊
I’m very impressed with the verity of food choices and quality you have. Considering you are under restrictions. Thanks for sharing. Here in Canada prices are also higher. Thanks for sharing.
You have a lot of different foods! Looks great
Great Video! Very Informative!
Your videos are a pleasure to watch! And you "went the extra mile" to show us prices in Siberia -- in Surgut. Many people commenting now want to use a comparison of food prices with average incomes to "prove" that "Russia is Suffering" and being "Punished" for disobeying the U.S.. They forget that health care is free in Russia, and rents are a quarter what they are in the U.S., or maybe even less, and taxes are low. And all of the food produced in Russia is GMO-free -- though I don't know about imported food.
Do you have Triscuits in Russia? -- my favorite food! They are woven square crackers. Do you have instant coffee? Do you have olive oil? It is very good for health, but it has suddenly become very expensive here: I wonder why.
Of course, we have instant coffee and olive oil. Olive oil is really expensive, yes.
Very interesting comparisons. As it happens, I have the opportunity right now to compare prices in a few EU countries (NL, IT, BE) and in the US (San Francisco, which I know very well). It's very interesting to see what sort of products cost the same, more or less. For example, I found that pretty much everything you showed costs either the same or less (sometimes significantly less) in the European countries I've recently spent significant time in. The very cheapest of those was Italy (particularly in the South). But even the Netherlands does fairly well on most food prices. The US, and particularly San Francisco, is much more expensive in most food items, between 50% to 100% more than in European stores, which makes some of the prices (e.g. coffee) the same as in Siberia. A notable exception to all of this were the Vodka and Bread prices you showed. Vodka was all-around cheaper. Bread was either the same or about 60% of what I would pay in the Netherlands. This brings back a lot of memories. I've been to Russia a number of times, and even the very first time, in 1996, Vodka and Bread were so cheap that we - as traveling students - were basically only eating bread and drinking vodka. I distinctly remember buying both vodka and bottled water at kiosks in Moscow and St.Petersburg, and was surprised at the time that Vodka was cheaper than Water!
Fascinating.....thank you.
Eggs are cheaper there than in Wisconsin i just paid $2.99 for 12 eggs.
And what is the average wage in Wisconsin? I bet it is more than 400 usd a month
On salary equivalent to 400 to 700 dollars a month in Siberia those prices are very high
Siberia wages starts from 180 dollars medium is 300
@@longjohnny009 minimum wage in Russia is 19 242 рубля в месяц = $200+ per month, in Krasnoyarsk region(the biggest region of Siberia) is 25 016,6 r t0 34 635,6 ₽. = from $270 to $380 per month - it is ninimum. It is illigal to pay less.
Dirt cheap energy and utilities, GMO-free food and woke-free minds, not to mention that throughout her 7m sq miles Mother Russia features wall-to-wall drop-dead gorgeous ladies guarded by the world's best nukes. Game, set, match Vlad.
@@longjohnny009 in Krasnoyarsk region $370 is a minimal wage.
She said a few times this is out of season. They don’t have California, Florida or next door Mexico where you can grow stuff all year round.
Your Supermarket looks packed with product, more so than here in Oldham UK
Thank you, Svetlana, for another wonderful grocery store tours.
Thanks beautiful Svetlana.
you mean vulgar Z make up
get an eye doctor control
Even by American standards, those are really high prices.
When you take into account the differential between prices for consumer goods and wages, you get a better understanding of what living standards are like.
Btw: Although sanctions by other countries can affect the economy and living standards in the short and medium term, what will determine the long-term economic situation is how much the free market is allowed to work.
American living standards are based on:
1) US military bases in 100 countries over the world and
2) on completely fake AAA US economy ratings
3) on completely fake interchange course of dollar, that inflation "green toilet paper" is absolutely tot worth of 100 rubles, 80 rupees, od 600 WA francs
4) on fact that all central banks in world are controlled from Wallstreet
5) on US puppet governments in more that 100 countries
5) fake inflated value of US companies stock
While russians are on their own, no economic colonialism, only 3 foreign military bases, no pupet regimes in foreign countries.
Btw, in most of central european and eastern european countries is ratio of incomes to food prices practically same as in Russia. There are mostly double incomes, but also double prices in supermarket, 3x prices of living and 5x prices of energies.
Russia the World’s 5th Largest Economy in GDP, PPP. USA is 2nd.
Population below poverty line: Russia 12.7%, USA 15.1%
Public debt (% of GDP): Russia 7.7%, USA 70%
@@Wirmish It's not clear what your point is, but if you are trying to say that the Russian economy is comparable to the US.economy, the economic data show otherwise. In short, living standards are far higher in the U.S.and GDP of the state of California is about double that of Russia's. Purchasing power in the U.S is also much higher than it is in Russia..
@@patricksachs3655 the american economy is only good for millionaires, so why boast? inflation is out of control, M3 money supply went parabolic in 2021, if trump wins in november , larry finklestein of blackrock will pull the plug on the the real estate market hes been keeping on life support for the last 5 years. its over for us, the egg is on our face, sanctions didnt work, we lost in afganistan, we support a ukrainian dictator, and allow israelis to genocide a people, we're the bad guys.
We South African 🇿🇦 also like tea 🍵, it doesn't matter if it is summer or winter, we love tea. I bet that every African country loves tea, that is how we socialize
It would be nice to see videos from supermarkets in Poland and France, where you visited recently.
Coffee is consumed way more in the US then tea, but we do like both even the hot kind along with the iced.
In USA we do drink lots of tea, hot or cold (sweetened). Tea bags are nothing new and are quite cheap. Artisan tea and coffee is expensive. Mostly though we drink coffee. Tea is the cheapest drink in the world next to fresh water. PASTA: Rummo is one of the best pastas you can buy. Soooooooooooooo what is the average take home salary in that area?
Mangoes and avocados …at Costco or Sam’s you will see maybe 10 boxes full stacked up…all year…tomatoes today at Publix was $2.99 a pound..
I like tea. However, I am mainly a black coffee drinker. We revolted against the British Monarchy and Americans dumped British Tea into the bay--called the Boston Tea Party. I think we became coffee drinkers because of this. ;) Love your channel and this was fun thank you. 10-dollar Peanut Butter was a rip off. :) Much love.🥰
That was a revolt against taxes on tea. Not tea itself. Do they teach anything in school today? Coffee is much more expensive and had it's peak during the Barnies and that other overpriced yuppy brand Starbucks started by the fellow on cheesy show Battlestar Galactical. Tip Necafe instant with cocoa and rediwhip cream cheaper and better. WW2 brought in perk coffee and donuts. Folgers, Maxwell House, Choc full of nuts, A&P store Brand came along. Freeze Dried brought instant coffee and instant Sanka decaff in hotel rooms. Barnies brought flavored coffees. Home machines brought expresso and other cooking methods.
I know not tea. I didn’t want to get technical 😉. Anyway thanks 😊
Espresso is really just the machine version of Turkish coffee. The Italians thought they could do better with their intense coffees. There are different acidity and variety in coffees, Guatemalan Antigua, Ethiopian Harrar, Kona, and French roast/lighter roasts. *Much* better than Starbucks, who even when they sell varieties, does something to kill all the variety of flavor. I am older, I saw the rise of Starbucks and even the demise of much better chains that they even bought out. Maybe their coffee was an improvement in rural Montana.
One of the guys knew his Moby Dick. "Starbucks" was from that book, and is a name that Melville picked up from an actual family, so I read.
Starbucks is not the peak of anything. But the Great Majority drank Dunkin' Donuts and such, and Brazil and local to this hemisphere countries grew coffee. Wealthy Americans partook of tea, but India was not our colony, and the India Tea Company wasn't our company. In fact, Cornwallis became India Governor after his big surrender in the American Revolution, so tea really was not as accessible to Americans.
For such remote area...prity good🙂👍
You rock. Thank you!
Now I have a craving for pelmeni, tomato salad, and black bread 😊
I love the grocery store videos🤗
Why? 😁
Thanks Svetlana from 🇨🇦 🙂
Thanks for this good video.
I love your videos 🎉🎉🎉
I live in Austin and the prices here are insane. It's sooo expensive I would love to pay your prices. Yes people earn well but the inflation is off the charts. Hopefully after November we can bring some normalcy back. That might be good for both of us.
When Putin stop…then you can hope…if not, my guesses are, you need to pay even more, but in Russia people will have really big problems and instantly, because they do not have savings or a big scope
I drink Hot tea, earl grey usually or Turkish black, but Coffee in the morning.
Svetlana try to cook in a slow cooker. High temp various hours of cooking, but taste is better.....
5:48 Belvita is a really popular brand in the UK. Fun fact, I also came up with the name Belvita for an old business I had but because I didn't trademark it I lost out on $$
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
One thing that stands out is that your bread is way cheaper than in California. A loaf of bread here cost 5 usd and up.
Thank you Svetlana x
Yes I drink tea here in america; sun tea is the best, You take about a gallon of water into a glass jar. Sit it out with 15 bags of tea inside. Let sit for for a couple hours until it looks brewed. Cool it; then drink it. You will notice the difference in taste of tea brew like that. I also drink coffee hot or cold.
It was interesting to see products we use in the Caribbean like some of the boxed milk, drinks, candy, etc
I'm from Maryland U.S.A. And those prices aren't that bad especially for the vodka. And I love just as much as my Joe (Coffee). I just got a 1 pound 🌴 n of Earl Grey loose tea for under 10 dollars. Yummy .
I drink hot tea in America its not popular but can be found.
I’ve met a wonderful person from Siberia here . Such lovely people
My in-laws are in 30min outside st-petersburgh, prices are higher than a few years ago but that's likely not related in many ways to sanctions since prices are astronomical here in Canada too. You really have to shop around and buy things on special. I just bought just under 500g of avocados and it was $6. The organic ones were $1.10/100g so a Kilo would be $11. One hugely important variable is season. Buying produce that is not local to us in Canada during a time of year when it's not in season in many places makes it super expensive. But buying oranges in February is not an issue as most come from Florida and are plentiful from nov-may. Everything is relative. My wife is visiting family as we speak and she got a huge cheese and blood sausage for the equivalent of $4CAD which is a joke. Her folks are pensioners and they are not struggling to get by, most Russians have seen worse (I have heard the stories of empty shelves in the early 90s, so much so that my wife is still sick of pasta to this day when it was difficult to find much due to sanctions)
I'm from Chile and I can speak on the fruits/vegetable front because i know first hand that Russia and Chile have a huge trade agreement since 2005. I'm told that it lead to innovation in the agricultural front in Russia and they have since diversified a great deal. Naturally, some things just won't grow in certain climates but you get the point.
Anyway, my point is that there are tons of videos on youtube that show that sanctions really didn't do much of anything and prices have gone up in Russia just like everywhere else worldwide but wages here in Canada have not kept up nowhere near the level of inflation with food nor with fuel.
the variety here is tremendous. Better than my local Metro Market, lol!
This video 📹 blew my mind...😊
I'm Italian, the cost of vegetables here has increased. Extra virgin olive oil has increased significantly even though the olives are Italian. on average the cost per liter is around €12 more or less $13 throughout Europe petrol has risen a lot on average €1.8 per liter $1.96 I believe that the sanctions have currently affected Europe more than the Russia
How come there's French 🇫🇷 vodka in Russia 🇷🇺 despite France 🇫🇷 being the most vocal against Russia 🇷🇺?!
Незнала что физалис это экзотика ,у меня в огрроде валом растет ,мы варенье с него делаем😂и еще его брат фиолетовый паслен тоже радует урожаем,сам по себе он не очень вкусный,но варенье с него оболденное .Башкирия.
I thought they were some dark Russian tomato varieties I gardened
today i buy a pack of gretschka here in switzerland. it is 1 kg for 5.95 chf this is on actual exchange rate 6.73 usd. it is selled under the turkish brand "duru" and at the backside it is written "origin: russia" . so stay happy and enjoy your local supermarket.
Your stores r so clean, neat, and in order. When u did there McDonalds video I had never seen such a clean and gleaming McDonald’s in my life.
❤ your videos.
Always loving your interesting videos on youtube 🥰 Hugs from your neigbour in Finland❣️😃
By the way, we don’t have vodka or even normal strong wine here in our Super markets. Only Alko, restaurants and tax free shops can sell them here 😅
Это ужасно😢
LAY'S FRITO CHIPS!!!! And you are in Siberia one the most remote places on earth!? Wow!!! I am so impressed in the happiest of way to see the availability of products we so much take for granted here in the US. I think I am packing my suitcase 😁
looking gorgeous as always. Prices in Canada are much higher -
So, comparing with the same job and salary in Russia, the prices of groceries are mostly 10-15x higher in Russia than here in Germany! Fact!
Because of that evil dictator Justin Trudeau who tortures and hates the Canadian citizens.
Especially in the more remote, northern communities.
Very interesting to see the variety and pricing! Until the coffee culture started to get big in Australia, tea was highly consumed. I believe it still is, its just coffee has grown in popularity, although both are popular side by side.
I alternate between Coffee, Jasmine Tea, Chocolate, sometimes all 3 mixed...
Grind my own beans
Only buy jasmine green tea
Organic Cocoa powder, hot water, vanilla, honey, heavy cream...usually half coffee in the morning. no coffee after noon or no sleepy.
Thank you mucho for sharing the price comparisons.. totally cheaper there, so the next question, what is pay or salary say for
Gas station attendent
Grocery store clerk
Waitress waiter cook
Insurance agent and staff
Military pay
Professor
Doctor dentist vetranarian nurse
Manufacturing line and management
Government bureaucracy jobs
Truck Driver taxi driver
Construction Carpenters, Electricians, Plumbers, Concrete, brick layers
Musicians Ballerinas and whatever Man Dancers are called.
Another great video.
In 2022 the average Russian wage was $708.00 a month. In the US it was $4164.00 a month, so the Russian Ruble's purchasing power is 5.88 times less. I think 150 rubles x .92 (US exchange rate)= $138.00 X 5.88= $811 US equivalent.
Taxes- and other deductions including healthcare- are outrageously high here and not in Russia.
Cost of living in Russia is, on average, 59.5% lower than in United States.
Rent in Russia is, on average, 78.1% lower than in United States.
Average Monthly Net Salary (After Tax) 50,387.67руб $551.74
And about those taxes here...
The median income in the U.S. is $44,225. In 2023.
From this:
Real median household income after taxes fell 8.8% to $64,240 from 2021 to 2022 and the poverty rate after taxes as measured by the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) increased 59% to 12.4%.
These significant changes in after-tax income and poverty rates of U.S. households were much larger than the annual changes in before-tax income and poverty, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released today.
We are in freefall

Welcome home lady.
My all time favorite thing is shopping with Svetlana.
СВЕТЛАНА МЫ ЛЮБИМ ВАС ЛЮБИМ ОБЛОЖКУ ВАШЕГО ВИДЕО СТОЛИЧНАЯ ВОДКА!!!!!
I’ll break down the tea in the US. The Southern states drink a lot of cold sweet tea. Every where else, everyone drinks regular hot tea. Tea is uncommonly drunk outside of the Southern states.
Thank for the great video. Yes, we like tea in America, iced or hot. Wishing you all the best in life in the future. Success and good health.
From the US with love.
Sending love from America... Sheesh Jam made out of pinecomb.. hmm
Fist of all, thank you for sharing. What surprises me is that you have such high prices (Similar to what I, a central European, would pay at the shops I visit) considering the situation in Russia (Different wage system and economy structure).
As I previously wrote, Russia will not experience any primary goods price surges since it is a net exporter of many goods. Energy prices will always be cheap, so the food staples - Russia has its own production and those are always readily available and accessible.
Coffee is the big hot drink in the US. We do drink a lot of tea however. Your prices are much better than ours on most things. You pay for a kilo what we pay for a pound. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you Svetlana for going through this store and checking out the prices. I drink coffee. Haven't had a cup if tea for years not.
Watched many of your vids lately . Just made notice of how incredibly flexible your thumb joint is . Almost 90 degrees straight up .
Variety actually looks way better than I would have expected... and the prices seem to be pretty similar to the ones here in Babruysk, Belarus.
I am from South Africa. It's just sad that I don't see any of our products on your shelves.
Your videos, no matter the subject matter, are always interesting, informative and mesmerising .. plus your English is superb .. thank you Svetlana !
If a person bought 1 week of groceries at a US Walmart it would cost the same as it does in Siberia. The difference is people in the US make 7 or 8 times more. How much is gasoline?
Being from the Midwest I've myself haven't seen a person that drinks tea on the regular. People here prefer coffee
Excellent working dear
McDonald's worker in Australia earns 20 usd an hour plus 2.60 into their pension, and 4 weeks paid vacation time if they work 36 hours a week. Olive oil is similar price, the rice, pasta, oatmeal... was half the price as here. But that McDonald's worker is earning 9 times an average worker in Siberia would be getting. Land of plenty
Like your red lipstick
That grocery store is better than anything I've seen here in Ottawa w mostly better prices.
Prices are per Kilo, you will need to divide by 2 to get the price for a pound.. Fruits and Vegetables in Siberia frankly are 5 to 10 times cheaper than in Canada.. Avocadoes here that come from Mexico are 1.5$ Cad or 1.2 USD per small one.. and up to 4USD for the large one, Vodka bad Polish or Baltic ones sell for 20 USD per 0.7 l, and a pack of cigarettes not Carton 20 cigarettes are for around 10$ each, Fuel/Gas here is ~1.6Cad or 1.3USD per liter.. or 120 Rubles per liter and if you want to hire an electrician or plumber you pay minimum 300$ even for a small task as fixing a light bulb or a leaking valve.. while in Russia you can hire a handy man for a whole month for that price..
Seeing the selections of Coffee and everything, I wonder who is under Sanctions.. Canada or Russia
На месяц это вы конечно преувеличили 😊
Svet….just stop listening to what people say…you have a heart…listen to your heart…you know more than anyone else…what is and what is not relavent or important…You are being considerate like a tour guide, but family comes first…love, safety, health, happiness…you sure don’t need to listen to anything but you..and maybe family, your sister…so…just a quick question..if that’s OK…when are you coming to the good old United States of America…?..Didn’t you say that you graduated from college over here?..Or I could have hallucinated and dreamed you did…our loss…I…or we…need to cheer you up…self confidence…beautiful words to start your day…and your smile from across any table in the morning is the perfect start to any day…and a nice hot cup of coffee…or for those that prefer it….Tea..all I’m saying is…a day can be great if it starts that way…and anything that happens that day…is easier to deal with…that is my opinion…and we all have opinions ..
Looking at you in that snow covered street….just telling you…that you are a breath of fresh air…sounds insane…even if it is true…
This isn’t you…not by a long shot…and I am not complaining…or saying something bad…it just seems to be an American thing…most American women…going back many years…spend a lot of time getting ready to go somewhere…maybe spend more than half an hour in the bathroom…putting on makeup..or whatever…and when someone says we are leaving at two o’clock…it will probably be 2:30 or later…and I understand it probably took you 5 minutes to put your lipstick and foundation on…but it looks like it was done by a professional…and for all I know, it could have been, because you look flawless…like a picture in a magazine..
The average Canadian earns more than 6000 dollars a year.
In America Cold Sweet Tea is very popular. Most Americans drink coffee.
You’re so beautiful
Your make up looks amazing!
Some Americans drink tea but mostly as you suggested Iced tea.
I drink at least 8 teas a day! I don’t drink coffee anymore! Lipton brand tea bags! About 5.00 for probably 50 yea bags in a box! We drink a lot of black, green, and berry teas!
great vid. the grocery story is quite nice. your home grown vodka is super affordable!
Keep Growing all
Love your video. I am in san antonio, texas. Looks like where you're living, You love vodka. Here we love tequila. In the past 8 months I've bought 2 different tequila brands. One was Kendall Jenner 818 brand. The other was Eva Longoria Casa DEL Sol brand. I gave both away as gifts. 😅I also see in Siberia. You also love your sweets. Here we used to sell Thalia sodi the children's candy from Mexico. Keep up the good work.
All the best from New Zealand , we pay more of majority of the items you listed , only a few are slightly cheaper . Would be interested how expensive is real estate , apartments , running cost , heating , and what do the people in Surgut do for living .
Excellent 😊
