When you refer to costs in Rubles, please also provide a reference price in USD. For instance, a salary of 75,000 Rubles is approximately USD 850 (maybe be different next week). But I noticed you gave some of the prices in USD.
Team Russell I work in a big grocery store and our sauce is with the dry pasta and we only sale beer by the 6pk 12pk or 24pk and we can only sale it at 7am tell 230am and on Sundays 12pm to 7pm here in Greenwood ind usa
Stores MUST sell the product at the price indicated on the price tag. Even if the promotion has ended, the product is already more expensive, an error has occurred. There is a high fine for refusal.
@@霧の中のハリネズミ There is no Sales Tax in Russia. We have VAT (10% or 20%) and it is included in goods price. So you always pay amount indicated on the tag.
'Pyaterochka' is a typical budget store in Russia, it literally means 'Lil Five' and they are literally everywhere. I live in a small town of 15k people and we have three of those here.
Спасибо. Моей целью всегда было документировать каждую марку супермаркета в России. Я медленно добираюсь туда. Мне пока удалось заполнить ими целый плейлист.
In Scotland, this type of supermarket size and range would probably come under a Metro format, bigger than convenience but not quite Supermarket. Very clean store with a great range of products for the size of the store. I Like the small seating area next to the coffee maker, you can sit and have a cuppa when waiting for the train.
Same in Canada. This type of supermarket is like "Rabba Fine Foods" stores in Canada. Somewhere between a typical grocery store and a local convenience store. Rabba stores operate 24/7 and never close, but also demand premium convenience pricing. Large grocery "SuperStores" in Canada would hold 20 or more of this typical Russian grocery store.
@@tiltgameover800 А зачем вам скучать? В России есть всё, что вам нужно и даже больше!☝ У нас очень много различных магазинов на каждом (!!!) шагу - от обычных маленьких продуктовых, до мини-, супер- и мега- маркетов.

Dear friends! We have beer in Russia that costs 0.4$ :) if you buy in bottles of 2 litres, the price will be about 0.3$ Move to Russia, do not delay :) I came across this video by chance, I live in Moscow, we have a selection of products about the same.
Кстати насчёт малого количества людей в магазинах. Во первых их(магазинов) очень много и они как правило работают до полуночи или вообще круглосуточно. Так что не обязательно бежать в магазин что бы что то купить. В Европе многие магазины не работают в выходные дни и время работы заметно меньше чем в России. Это мне напоминает годы СССР когда магазин закрывался примерно в 7 вечера. У меня около дома магазин "Пятёрочка" работает круглосуточно и без выходных и праздников.
@@ИгорьА-ъ9ф лет двадцать назад в Европе было спокойно, магазины объясняли, что у сотрудников права отстаивает профсоюз, и тоже закрылись рано по будням и не работали один а то и оба выходных
@@ИгорьА-ъ9ф нет, просто европейские страны куда более социальные, чем Россия. Тут человеческий труд это второе на чём экономят. И российские розницы это очень хороший пример - заслуга относительно доступных цен в сетях в первую очередь в том, что на персонале экономят, на персонал спихивают недостачу, перечень обязанностей у работников обычно больше, чем упоминается при устройстве, а ещё они раз в 3 - 4 месяца все дружно должны бесплатно остаться сверхурочно для проведения инвентаризации.
@@ИгорьА-ъ9фНет, дело в оплате труда. В Европе относительно высокая планка минимальной зарплаты, держать несколько смен продавцов там просто невыгодно. А у нас много людей, готовых работать 12-ти часовые ночные смены за 300-400 евро в месяц. Вот и секрет круглосуточного сервиса (с курьерами та же история).
У нас даже в областях такие магазины есть, со свежей выпечкой и кофе, лет 5 назад конечно, не особо это было, но сейчас сложно такими магазинами удивить. (живу на Урале)
Я знаю, что эта сеть постепенно строит новые заведения или со временем улучшает старые. Чтобы предоставить местным покупателям больше возможностей. Мой местный магазин Five не похож на этот.
Сети сейчас повсюду. У меня в новгородской области дача, посёлок на 2 тысячи человек. Там и магнит и пятерочка, по ассортименту ничем от городских магазинов не отличаются. Хоть и удобно, но малый бизнес жалко. До прихода сетей все всё покупали в местных магазинчиках, теперь же почти весь траффик идёт через два сетевых супермаркета.
Это устройство называется овоскоп , по санитарным нормам России он должен находиться в каждом магазине где продаются яйца. Чтобы покупатель при желании лично убедился в качестве яиц.
A few years ago, such devices became mandatory in Russia in all stores where eggs are sold. If there is no such device, then this is a violation of the licensing conditions.
This company will literally have tens of thousands of trucks bringing goods to and from their distribution centers. This would not be possible in a troubled country. This activity alone is amazing in such a vast country.
Very true, the way the supply chain works so efficiently in Russia is amazing. And to see it in person blows your mind. I was even lucky enough to see a dark store in operation, where they deliver the food to homes from online orders. ua-cam.com/video/X9GYNUAdnwA/v-deo.html
I have never seen an egg candleing machine anywhere in the United States. I had to make one using a coffee can and a lightbulb when we were incubating our own chicken eggs. I sure would have liked to use one like that. As always, I enjoy all of your videos and a peek into life on a different continent.
@@vladimirpvm128well... yes I have never seen a machine in the US like that in a store. They check at a factory that puts the eggs in the cartons. On a wierd tangent note a lot of the quail eggs here sold in stores are fertilized and you can hatch a bird if you put them in a warm place.
Enjoyed the video. Yes, pasta should be next to the sauce, as it is in most stores in America. Also, I've never seen an egg quality check machine. Looks interesting. Love all your grocery store videos
В России по санитарным правилам овоскоп должен находиться в каждом магазине где продаются яйца. Это сделано для того чтобы покупатель в случае необходимости мог лично убедиться в качестве яиц.
It blows me away everytime... how clean everything is!!! Stores in my area are NOT that clean. I dont shop at stores that often. We grow alot, eat whats in season & buy from local farmers.
In Russia there are a lot of farmers type markets as well. Especially in Summertime, when more things are in season. ua-cam.com/video/vCATlKMHXBc/v-deo.html
Easy to keep clean when hardly anyone comes to the store. Employees typically appear to outnumber the shoppers in these videos. And tiny amounts of items being bought by sparse purchaser.
@@AnglerfishDeepcuts 1. Shopping during working hours. 2. The location is not yet the most attractive. 3. Competition with other supermarket chains keeps them relaxed, so clean. 4. Despite Pyaterochka's mass appeal, it is a medium segment; there are supermarkets like ALDI, where, of course, everything looks simpler, but on the whole it is also clean. 5. Of course, purchasing power also plays a role, but the product line allows all segments of the population to shop in this supermarket
@@TravellingwithRussell добрый день! Видел вас несколько раз с камерой) Иностранцам будет интересно как устроена в России медицинская система, по запросам это один из лидеров. Ещё популярная тема про образование, школы, цены на всё это! Рекомендую подумать. До СВО были очень популярные стоматологические и медицинские туры из Европы в Россию. Иностранцы ходили на лечение и путешествовали по основным достопримечательностям и это вместе с перелётом, проживанием и сопровождением дешевле чем за границей полечиться.
As a moscovite I must say that pyatyorochka has almost the same prices as magnit. I even have to say that very often prices in pyaterochka are lower than in magnit. I have 2 magnit and 3 pyaterochka in my area, one magnit is 3 min from my home. but in general their price category is the same. Just marketing battle between two retail giants
@@RussianTravels yeah I agree, but there's one exception: there are some magnit that are big and new, they are very clean with vast assortment. Same stands for new pyaterochkas as in this video. But magnit near my house is very little and dirty sometimes. Anyways, I've never experienced such an abundance of food and shops 😂 especially after living in Italy half my life (except that the quality of some products there is much higher).
Yes I agree again there is such an abundance of food in the supermarkets. I can’t quite believe it and also how many stores there are. They seem to be everywhere and more are opening all of the time. It is such convenient living here in Russia.
Hi Russell, really appreciate your videos but I think we had enough of the supermarkets. Please show us more of apartment tours, malls, restaurants etc. that would be awesome!
Когда людям надоест смотреть супермаркеты, они просто перестанут смотреть и комментировать его видео. Спрос рождает предложение. P.s. Очевидно, Рассел будет выкладывать свои видео из супермаркетов до тех пор, пока все жители Запада не убедятся, что русские не голодают, полки заполнены товарами и глупые санкции и пропаганда дурака Байдена не работают. 😂
Ещё как работают! Вся авто индустрия, уехала в свою родную гавань, а русские АЛЕНИ покупают авто шмурдяк из Китая, устаревшие модели по цене в 2-2,5 раза выше, чем граждане Поднебесной! также немыслимые цены на брендовые спорт товары, одежду про кожаную обувь, лучше промолчать!

Мы живем в России и привыкли к нашим магазинам. увидев все это глазами иностранца понимаешь - как в России хорошо. Вижу,здесь удивляются чистоте и порядку , а мы удивляемся, что где-то в цивилизованнй стране может быть по другому. В самом маленьком магазине чистота обязательна.

Where do you shop? The Market Basket and Hannafords near me are always very clean and much larger. They remove the snow and slush from the entrance too.
Actually this Russian Store is not that Clean and tidy in my opinion . Stores here in Ontario Canada are much bigger and nicer . Loblaws and Metro and Shoppers Drug Mart are Much bigger and cleaner and better here ! even the 7/11 here in Canada is nicer ! @@TravellingwithRussell
Of course, they are part of a chain with Chizhik ua-cam.com/video/kKBTS1K367s/v-deo.html and Perekrestok ua-cam.com/video/4vpHIuyrg98/v-deo.html Which think gives everyone a choice of where to shop.
@@ghos7bear если я не ошиблась, то вы русскоговорящий (по нескольким видео с русским названием); так что проясню ситуацию: я часто хожу в пятерочку и другие магазины, просто хотела сказать именно то, что лет 10 назад у многих людей были предрассудки, мол в этих новых супермаркетах все некачественное и мало выбора; да и я раньше так же думала, отдавая предпочтение обычным продуктовым магазинам у дома; сейчас супермаркетов стало намного больше, следовательно, и выбора больше, и обстановка в них располагающая - все изменилось в лучшую сторону :)

I have four supermarkets in my little town and a super Wal-Mart. Pricrs are a lot higher in my area of East Tennessee than in Russis. I was surprised. I am so glad to learn the people of that area have the availability of so much. God bless them.
As an American having lived in various locations over my lifetime, it would be pointless for me to try to compare past with present, but, having said that, it is astonishing to me the variety of items and varying choices within those categories as displayed in your Russian supermarket tours. Until recently I resided in New York City and the markets there were frustratingly small and cramped - probably because of excessively high rents in the City. In other areas of the country I didn't experience that same space problem, but nevertheless the variation in choices did not match what I've observed in your video tours. I am surprised and astonished - would have never expected it. And No, I've never seen an egg-checker as shown toward the end of your video - of any type. The only check I've known of is physically opening an egg carton and checking for cracked eggs.
Yes of course and you don't see that everything costing more than $3 is locked up or with just a picture that you have to go tell someone behind bullet proof glass to go get for you. You also don't see the cultural enrichment running up and down the aisles stuffing items into pillow cases then running out the store. How backward Russia must look to you enlightened American senses.
Most countries you know? Sure, there are plenty of countries in the world, such as Somalia, Syria and the North Korea. Russia is better than all of those! Hip Hooray! Whether people can afford to buy anything is another question. The average babushka makes something like $150 a month. And by the way: SLAVA UKRAINI!
That device for eggs checking names an ovoscope - овоскоп in Russian. I remember such devices in our stores from my childhood. It was always difficult to remember the name of the device, but I did. 😊
The dollar general by my house, here in the fantastic mid west is always out of different items, the roof is leaking, they keep replacing the ceiling tiles, puddles of water on the floor and the homeless people around the neighborhood keep stealing the shopping carts. Love those Russian supermarkets!
@@americanmade6996 No, it isn't. There are nice ones as well. But there are nothing (including major supermarkets) to the Russians markets. Kroger in Texas and Publix in Florida are very well equipped but extremely crowded and expensive

In Russia they usualy stil standard big shoping carts. You can find couple of that carts in every car repair shop or every metal scrap junk yard. And no they dont by this carts
Моя мама каждый год выезжает с тележкой из магазина)) осенью, когда солит капусту)) хотя у нас есть машина) но от дома 5 минут до магазина и ей лень перекладывать и лифт грузовой вмешает тележку 😂😂😂 поэтому она прямо в квартиру заезжает с ней))) но она всегда везёт её обратно!

A typical supermarket in Russia has a huge selection of goods available only in a small number of supermarkets in Poland (e.g. Kaufland, Spar, Chata) or only in hypermarkets. Most supermarkets in Poland are discount stores (Lidl, Biedronka) where there is not a large selection of goods.
There is a chain of Russian supermarkets in the US. It is called NetCost. I'm not sure if the stores are available in all regions. I know they are in the "Tri-State" area and in Pennsylvania...
@@Sergey_Bezhentsevинтересная информация. Только вот на западном побережье увы нет этих магазинов. И доставки тоже нет туда. Помню была такая сеть из Англии Fresh and Easy, хотели войти на американский рынок. Ничего у них не получилось. Загнулись их магазины.
Спасибо, обожаю такие комментарии. Как мы все ходим в такие магазины каждый день недели. Но увидеть это глазами другого человека поучительно и интересно.

Fair enough. For my wife and I we literally only have Pelmeni in the freezer and sometimes some ice cream. If we buy vegetables, its normal for the day or two when we are going to cook them.
@@GoodFella-wi7gw It depends on what you cook. Frozen veggies go well into all kinds of soups and pastry. Аnd soups are a very popular meal in Russia. There's quite a variety of them. They are definitely a no-no for the salads :) Same with fruits. If you bake pies, make jellies or compotes - frozen and dried ones are good enough. If you want a crunchy apple you get a fresh one :) The most popular veggies and fruits never go frozen though. I've never seen frozen apples, grapes or oranges and well as frozen cucumbers or tomatoes. But plenty of frozen haricots, sprouts, spinach, diced pumpkin, veg mixes for different soups and stews, diced pinapple, sour cherries, raspberry, strawberries, buckthorn berries etc

These Russian supermarkets put most of the UK ones to shame with stock levels that we only see first thing in the morning, by the afternoon the popular items have gone. So much for thinking that life in Russia is very basic.
I live in Russia in a medium-sized city. Not far from my house (the farthest is within 600-700 meters) there are 4 supermarkets of three different chains (Spar, Pyaterochka, Victoria) which are a little larger than the one in the roller and the products never run out there. It’s honestly strange for me to read that in Britain you may not be able to find some product in a store. Well, as for simple life here, like everywhere else, it all depends on the person.
Good to see and hear what life and food shopping is like in Russia. It almost makes me want to move there, the UK is in a real mess at the moment and certainly not the country that i was born in.@@ПавелПлавский-ы5щ
In UK all supermarkets have more variety of products and far better quality than in Russia ! And surprisingly for any Brit that prices in Russia are actually mostly higher than in UK
@@abdulmazari9885 when I look at the prices, they are lower than in the Czech Republic, for example the mentioned beer is 50% more expensive here. A shot of sweet pastries in Russia, the pie in the upper right corner costs 35 rubles, in the Czech Republic it comes out to 136 rubles after conversion. We have bread very similar here 145 rubles in Russia 65 rubles. They have butter for 160 rubles, here it is 160-200 rubles. Overall, their prices are much lower. They have fish products at really ridiculous prices. I didn't compare the meat, I couldn't see the weight, the type of meat. the chocolates from the beginning of the video were also about 50-70% cheaper.
@@KorbenDalasCZ you see cheap food products in Russia like bread, meat pastes , sausages, e t c are made out of low quality wheat that is only used as animal feed in EU and meat products are made of chemical and additives tat are not allowed for consumption for humans and that’s why even life expectancy in Russia is on average 20 years shorter than in Europe ! It’s easy to understand that it is impossible to make 100 g meat pastry 10 times cheaper than actual cost of 100 g of meat ! It’s made out of crap with no meat in it at all ! So as any other products in Russia !
Upstate NY here. I am impressed by the selection and surprised to see many brands I am familiar with. And the prices are a fraction of what they are here. Paper towels he said were 2.00 here are 8-10.00. Bread was 1/4 price.
This is one of the best videos you’ve done I’ve really enjoyed it gave me a good perspective. Have to say there is definitely more selection than it ever thought it would be in Russia. Thanks I live in USA.
Wow, thanks Robert. This store is about 30 minutes' walk from my house as well. The manager of the store I know from the more local store by this name. She was transferred over to this store when it recently opened.

I like the 'basket holding carts'. Here in a typical store with baskets you are forced to carry your baskets around the store, which is very inconvenient if you are buying a couple of baskets worth of items. I think the reason they don't have them here, is because carts are stolen quite often, even the larger ones are removed from the parking lot (they have security locks on them some places). I think the store looks very clean and utilitarian, reminds me a bit of a Save-A-Lot store here in the states. I remember when I was young a pair of missionaries came to my local church with images of grocery stores during Gorbachev's time as leader and the shelves were bare and there were long lines for basic items. I am happy to see the country having more prosperity that benefits the citizens of Russia, I am quite fascinated by all of the similarities between our two cultures as well as the differences.
Thanks for the video! Whether you know about grocery chain called "Red caviar" in Moscow and Moscow region? One shop is even in your town. Probably you would be interested for filming it because of the name😃👍

Unfortunately in Finland we don’t have so modern and developed food quality control equipment like you have in Russia…And the choice of the products not so wide in here, and nowadays Finland is crazy expensive country.! About 20 years ago russians came to Finland to buy everything , but I see now they dont need our products anymore cause they live much better then before., and our media doesn’t really recognise it🙈
очень люблю Финляндию. Много раз приезжала на отдых. К сожалению, сейчас у финнов плохое отношение к России. Надеюсь, что мы снова будем хорошими соседями.
I lived in Russia 10 years ago. I worked for a company that produced commercial equipment for stores. Pyaterochka/Perekrestok were our clients. All their stores are made according to European standards, even the baskets.
Need to convert prices to kilos vs pounds. Kilo is 2.2 lbs. Another thing is prices as marked and there’s no extra tax charge at checkout like here in USA.
Some of the foreign viewers may be missing the point of the store name. Russian education system has 5 numerical grades with "5" being the highest. It's the equivalent of A in US. So Pyaterochka means something like "exemplary" (but the chain itself is very budget-y)
I do, I was actually working in Coles as a merchandiser during cov*d. I actually loved that job. But keeping the store up to scratch was an impossible task.
@@TravellingwithRussell I worked for awhile at Meijers and then Walmart. SO I know what it is like. Live in the US for 17 years. Have dual citizenship.
Hello Rasel, have you visited the Chizhik metro traffic light skidkino chain of stores in Russia And there are many economy class chain stores chizhik, traffic light, coin, skidkino, fixed price, or have you already been there? Good luck
Always find it funny seeing Whiskas and Dreamies in places like this. Live UK and while the prices (6 dollars for Stoli) sound amazing wonder what general cost of living is - after bills go out I have to economise big time.
The cost of living is peanuts compared to the UK. My monthly utlities bill in Moscow is typically under £20 (this includes, heating, water bill, broadband internet, and 100 TV channel package). I would stress that heating and hot water are on 24/7 for most months of the year as well - due to the cold winters. Also the quality of the internet and reliability of most services is way better (in Moscow) than in the UK. In 9 years I've only lost internet access for about 20 minutes (due to some minor electricity maintenance being performed in my building - which residents were given advanced warning about). Running a car is far cheaper in Russia (than in the UK) and you'd struggle to find any measure by which the Moscow Metro is not better than the equivalent in London. If you'd have asked me 10 years ago, I would have said typical grocery prices in Russia and the UK were about the same, but these days (after the events of the last 2 years), I would say that your weekly shopping bill would be quite a bit less in Russia now, than in the UK.

Every American should be questioning and upset at what is going on here in the USA - there's no real reason why we are seeing prices for food at double, triple or even 4 times the price of what we're being shown here today - this could be propaganda but I really do not think so. Thank you Russell for sharing. Eggs for example for a dozen are at least $3 USD and those are the Grade A medium ones - a very good egg but if you want the "cage free" or want other stamps on the carton they can easily be $5-$6 a dozen. Again, thank you for sharing! I'd love to sample some of the sardines especially ;-)
> prices for food at double, triple or even 4 times the price of what we're being shown here today - this could be propaganda but... No, it is not propaganda. As to the huge price differences ... you should compare them to the respective income.
Магазинов в каждом районе настолько много, что это неудивительно. В моём районе (можайский) в 10 минутной доступности: 2 магнита, 3 пятерочки, 2 КБ, 1 Ярче, 1 БиМ, несколько продуктовых без названия и огромный Ашан. // 8 продуктовых в 10 мин доступности 😂 + помимо двух КБ еще что то есть но я нечасто по ним хожу. UPD: я пересчитал, оказывается у нас ещё вкусвилл открылся и дикси есть. Получается 10 продуктовых в пределах 10 мин от дома 😁
напишут, конечно. Может додумаются до того, что продукты специально завезли перед визитом Рассела в магазин. А сзади, за ним по пятам шли сотрудники жуткого КГБ с автоматами в руках.
Hi Russell! I know that is not your type of content. But what do you think about make some hobby (like painting or flowers stuff), sport/gym, camping or toys shops videos?
? you know that salaries and pensions are much lower in Russia? it is very reasonable...I always compare to Germany where I live and I am surprised how expensive it is in Russia considering the incomes. How do think a babushka with 200 USD pension or a teacher with 800 USD salary can afford these prices...even with lower costs of living. People who say "look Russia how cheap" are living in denial or they are troll bots
@@jerrylee4485 Canada has horrible wages and taxes are insanely high, cost of living is unaffordable. So when comparing Canada 🇨🇦 to Russia 🇷🇺 Russia is winning.
The utility bills are actually much lower too. You have to mention that when talking about the price of living in Russia. I pay 90e for a 86m2 flat in Moscow. That's maintenance, water and unlimited heating included (average temperature in the flat in winter/autumn/spring is 23-25c). My electricity bill is about 7,5e a month. My house has gas but I installed an electric cooker and an electric oven. So 7,5e is for all the electricity consumption a month (lights, computer, cooking, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge etc). And I work from home so I spend a lot of time there so the light is mostly on. If I use aircon in summer the bill is about 10-15e per month. Petrol is 0,55e. The public transport is 0,6e per one go independent of the milage. It's free for the pensioners. I spend about 200e on grocery a month and don't actually limit myself. 100mb internet is 9,5e per month. Mobile phone is 10e per month. So yeah, a teacher with 800e salary can pretty much afford these prices. And the babushkas mostly do too. Don't forget that many people including babushkas actually own their real estate.

Great video as always! What a really nice store, one of the cleanest and neatest I've ever seen and the prices are really really good too. I shop at Walmart, a one stop shop! Oh yeah enjoyed looking at the snow too! I live in Tampa Florida no snow here. Also I'M TEAM RUSSELL! 😊
Today the Ruble to USD is 89.99 to $1 USD - prices look to be very nice. The size of this store seems to be about twice the size of an Aldi or about 2/3rds the size of most US supermarkets. Interesting to see the varied selection of foods both preserved and fresh - I have no doubt that there are wide differences in quality of the different brands....
I live in a small mid-west US city (population 40,000). We have an Aldi's similar in size to this store, two Walmart's, two Kroger's, and a regional store called Meijer's that are all multiple times bigger. I'm 66 and have never know a time that you could not go to a supermarket or neighborhood market for food.
Beautiful super market, nice neat and well stocked. I'm in Utah, a state America. I like your size store there, many here are much larger, I'd say by x3 I try to stay away from those super sized spots love the home town feel of Smith's(Kroger) store but it's still huge to me
И на США, должно быть, наложено десяток другой тысяч санкций, чтобы этого изобилия в магазинах не было. Не наложено? Тогда чем ты тут хвастаешься?

Hello Putin-fanboy. Shame on you!
I have never seen an egg checker. Different.
In Russian stores I was surprised that on the price tags you see the real price you will pay at the checkout. They will also give you a discount
Stores MUST sell the product at the price indicated on the price tag. Even if the promotion has ended, the product is already more expensive, an error has occurred. There is a high fine for refusal.
@@GeorgeDurua Sales Tax is not included in the price tag everywhere, for example in the states
@@霧の中のハリネズミ There is no Sales Tax in Russia. We have VAT (10% or 20%) and it is included in goods price. So you always pay amount indicated on the tag.

In Scotland, this type of supermarket size and range would probably come under a Metro format, bigger than convenience but not quite Supermarket. Very clean store with a great range of products for the size of the store. I Like the small seating area next to the coffee maker, you can sit and have a cuppa when waiting for the train.

There are 22 grocery stores near my house, 15 minutes walk away, including 4 stores such as in this video. I've met Russell with a camera a few times)
Same in Canada. This type of supermarket is like "Rabba Fine Foods" stores in Canada. Somewhere between a typical grocery store and a local convenience store. Rabba stores operate 24/7 and never close, but also demand premium convenience pricing. Large grocery "SuperStores" in Canada would hold 20 or more of this typical Russian grocery store.

Кстати насчёт малого количества людей в магазинах. Во первых их(магазинов) очень много и они как правило работают до полуночи или вообще круглосуточно. Так что не обязательно бежать в магазин что бы что то купить. В Европе многие магазины не работают в выходные дни и время работы заметно меньше чем в России. Это мне напоминает годы СССР когда магазин закрывался примерно в 7 вечера. У меня около дома магазин "Пятёрочка" работает круглосуточно и без выходных и праздников.
там "свободная" Европа, там круглосуточный магазин бомбануть могут, вот и закрывают рано
@@ИгорьА-ъ9ф лет двадцать назад в Европе было спокойно, магазины объясняли, что у сотрудников права отстаивает профсоюз, и тоже закрылись рано по будням и не работали один а то и оба выходных
@@ИгорьА-ъ9ф нет, просто европейские страны куда более социальные, чем Россия. Тут человеческий труд это второе на чём экономят. И российские розницы это очень хороший пример - заслуга относительно доступных цен в сетях в первую очередь в том, что на персонале экономят, на персонал спихивают недостачу, перечень обязанностей у работников обычно больше, чем упоминается при устройстве, а ещё они раз в 3 - 4 месяца все дружно должны бесплатно остаться сверхурочно для проведения инвентаризации.
@@ИгорьА-ъ9фНет, дело в оплате труда. В Европе относительно высокая планка минимальной зарплаты, держать несколько смен продавцов там просто невыгодно. А у нас много людей, готовых работать 12-ти часовые ночные смены за 300-400 евро в месяц. Вот и секрет круглосуточного сервиса

These machines are in the shop according to the standards. I've never seen anyone use it in my life
Enjoyed the video. Yes, pasta should be next to the sauce, as it is in most stores in America. Also, I've never seen an egg quality check machine. Looks interesting. Love all your grocery store videos
Яйца незачем проверять. Яйца не хранятся неделями,а раскупаются быстро и заменяются на свежие. Так что проверять яйца незачем.
This is not a new device. I remember it since childhood in the USSR.

I like this supermarket but I also like magnit. They are everywhere and so convenient
As a moscovite I must say that pyatyorochka has almost the same prices as magnit. I even have to say that very often prices in pyaterochka are lower than in magnit. I have 2 magnit and 3 pyaterochka in my area, one magnit is 3 min from my home.
but in general their price category is the same. Just marketing battle between two retail giants
Yes I agree but for some reason I can always find what I want in magnit in my region. I do think pyat stores look more clean and fresh though.
@@RussianTravels yeah I agree, but there's one exception: there are some magnit that are big and new, they are very clean with vast assortment. Same stands for new pyaterochkas as in this video.
But magnit near my house is very little and dirty sometimes.
Anyways, I've never experienced such an abundance of food and shops 😂 especially after living in Italy half my life (except that the quality of some products there is much higher).

I have four supermarkets in my little town and a super Wal-Mart. Pricrs are a lot higher in my area of East Tennessee than in Russis. I was surprised. I am so glad to learn the people of that area have the availability of so much. God bless them.
Not only prices, but also the average income of residents is lower than in the USA. So I suppose the purchasing power is comparable
As an American having lived in various locations over my lifetime, it would be pointless for me to try to compare past with present, but, having said that, it is astonishing to me the variety of items and varying choices within those categories as displayed in your Russian supermarket tours. Until recently I resided in New York City and the markets there were frustratingly small and cramped - probably because of excessively high rents in the City. In other areas of the country I didn't experience that same space problem, but nevertheless the variation in choices did not match what I've observed in your video tours. I am surprised and astonished - would have never expected it. And No, I've never seen an egg-checker as shown toward the end of your video - of any type. The only check I've known of is physically opening an egg carton and checking for cracked eggs.
Most modern egg producers have machinery that do that light test before packaging
Yes of course and you don't see that everything costing more than $3 is locked up or with just a picture that you have to go tell someone behind bullet proof glass to go get for you. You also don't see the cultural enrichment running up and down the aisles stuffing items into pillow cases then running out the store. How backward Russia must look to you enlightened American senses.
@@eastender74 Plus expiration dating of checked products adds to consumer safety.

Russell, have you been to the most visited these days place in Moscow - RUSSIA EXPO in the VDNH park? Do you have a video on that? If not, do you plan to go there? I think your subscribers will be really interested to see this incredible EXPO. 😊
I'm not gonna lie. This is the exact opposite of how I imagined a Russian grocery store would look. Very cool!
you lie in your first sentence...this a supermarkets like you can millions all over the world...not more not less
Это всего лишь небольшой мини-маркет возле дома☝ В России их очень много... разных... и маленьких, и больших, и огромных!
@@__NataliaG__ Спасибо! Мне понравилась экскурсия по магазину! Кроме того, я использую Google для перевода этого, поэтому я надеюсь, что его легко читать.
@royhandy8365 да легко читается
Пятёрочка, как большой и красивий супермаркет.
Эти магазины действительно есть. Всего у меня их 6 в городе, в нескольких минутах от моей квартиры.
у меня прям рядом с домом стоит пятерочка, каждый день туда хожу, покупаю выпечку. Все очень радует, супермаркет огонь!@@TravellingwithRussell
Я хочу идти в этот супермаркет в будущем.
@@TravellingwithRussell они повсюду, очень удобно расположены.

Often frozen veggies can be of better quality than fresh as they are picked and packed at their peak instead of early to allow for shipping.
Fair enough. For my wife and I we literally only have Pelmeni in the freezer and sometimes some ice cream. If we buy vegetables, its normal for the day or two when we are going to cook them.
What??😀Keep eating frozen stuff but i’d rather have fresh veggies and fruits!
@@GoodFella-wi7gw It depends on what you cook. Frozen veggies go well into all kinds of soups and pastry. Аnd soups are a very popular meal in Russia. There's quite a variety of them. They are definitely a no-no for the salads :) Same with fruits. If you bake pies, make jellies or compotes - frozen and dried ones are good enough. If you want a crunchy apple you get a fresh one :) The most popular veggies and fruits never go frozen though. I've never seen frozen apples, grapes or oranges and well as frozen cucumbers or tomatoes. But plenty of frozen haricots, sprouts, spinach, diced pumpkin, veg mixes for different soups and stews, diced pinapple, sour cherries, raspberry, strawberries, buckthorn berries etc
very much alike the supermarkets in Sweden, I an impressed ! Thank you för the tour
Why are there no bears in this supermarket who buy water and sing songs? tell me, does this supermarket sell pickled hedgehogs🦔🦔🦔?😂
With the number of pickled items in Russia, i am quite sure I can find them somewhere)))))
Yet.
Зима, медведи спят в берлоге.
Летом приходите.
Мариновановых ежиков нет. Они вкусны только свежими из леса. Но лесники вас оштрафуют если поймают с пойманым ежом😂
Not hedhehogs, the moles! it's just a funny meme that is going around local russian chans)
Yeah, and strange but I don’t see the section with balalaikas and matreshka dolls. Also it would be nice to have food for bears in big pack sizes 😂
50 cent beers!! 👍
Thanks for the tour.
Any time!
Better selection than most supermarkets, RUSSIA TUMBS UP
Thanks. ))
Уже давно поднялись. Мы на коленях только когда шнуруем берцы
Thanks for what?
These Russian supermarkets put most of the UK ones to shame
with stock levels that we only see first thing in the morning, by the afternoon
the popular items have gone.
So much for thinking that life in Russia is very basic.
I live in Russia in a medium-sized city. Not far from my house (the farthest is within 600-700 meters) there are 4 supermarkets of three different chains (Spar, Pyaterochka, Victoria) which are a little larger than the one in the roller and the products never run out there. It’s honestly strange for me to read that in Britain you may not be able to find some product in a store.
Well, as for simple life here, like everywhere else, it all depends on the person.
Good to see and hear what life and food shopping is like in Russia.
It almost makes me want to move there, the UK is in a real mess at the moment
and certainly not the country that i was born in.@@ПавелПлавский-ы5щ
In UK all supermarkets have more variety of products and far better quality than in Russia ! And surprisingly for any Brit that prices in Russia are actually mostly higher than in UK
@@abdulmazari9885 when I look at the prices, they are lower than in the Czech Republic, for example the mentioned beer is 50% more expensive here. A shot of sweet pastries in Russia, the pie in the upper right corner costs 35 rubles, in the Czech Republic it comes out to 136 rubles after conversion. We have bread very similar here 145 rubles in Russia 65 rubles. They have butter for 160 rubles, here it is 160-200 rubles. Overall, their prices are much lower. They have fish products at really ridiculous prices. I didn't compare the meat, I couldn't see the weight, the type of meat. the chocolates from the beginning of the video were also about 50-70% cheaper.
@@KorbenDalasCZ you see cheap food products in Russia like bread, meat pastes , sausages, e t c are made out of low quality wheat that is only used as animal feed in EU and meat products are made of chemical and additives tat are not allowed for consumption for humans and that’s why even life expectancy in Russia is on average 20 years shorter than in Europe ! It’s easy to understand that it is impossible to make 100 g meat pastry 10 times cheaper than actual cost of 100 g of meat ! It’s made out of crap with no meat in it at all ! So as any other products in Russia !

I would shop there! Although I would suggest that they extend the "porch" area a bit so shoppers do not come inside covered in snow or rain. 😉

При входе, есть тамбур примерно 3×3 метра, с тёплым воздухом, что бы снег таял.
Upstate NY here. I am impressed by the selection and surprised to see many brands I am familiar with. And the prices are a fraction of what they are here. Paper towels he said were 2.00 here are 8-10.00. Bread was 1/4 price.
Санкции России на пользу.
That's a very nice store. This is so interesting. I'm in Indiana USA. This is my first video of yours, and I'm excited to see more. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ))
Great job Russell keep those groceries and dept store videos coming. 😊
Thanks. More on the way.
Thank you Rassell😊 I have good day😊
Thank you, Will do!
I don't go to Pyaterochka very often. More often Magnet, Myasnov, Ribbon, Red and White (for alcohol), or Bristol
This is one of the best videos you’ve done I’ve really enjoyed it gave me a good perspective. Have to say there is definitely more selection than it ever thought it would be in Russia. Thanks I live in USA.
Wow, thanks Robert. This store is about 30 minutes' walk from my house as well. The manager of the store I know from the more local store by this name. She was transferred over to this store when it recently opened.
That was fun. Very interesting how many snicker candy bars and lay potato chips there were!!
I enjoyed it. Hello from Tennessee USA!!

An interesting fact is the products at 28:05 are not 'pasta sauces' :) Those are minced tomatoes.
The 'pasta sauces' were at 14:30 on the left
Right, they were in two places. Where I did point them out though, there was the Barilla one.
Fascinating! I have subscribed to your channel. Watching in Canada. 🇨🇦 ❤

Great Stores! They look an aweful lot like Lidl or ALDI stores here in Germany. Perfect size and you will find most products quite easily.

Hallo aus St. Petersburg!
I like the 'basket holding carts'. Here in a typical store with baskets you are forced to carry your baskets around the store, which is very inconvenient if you are buying a couple of baskets worth of items. I think the reason they don't have them here, is because carts are stolen quite often, even the larger ones are removed from the parking lot (they have security locks on them some places). I think the store looks very clean and utilitarian, reminds me a bit of a Save-A-Lot store here in the states. I remember when I was young a pair of missionaries came to my local church with images of grocery stores during Gorbachev's time as leader and the shelves were bare and there were long lines for basic items. I am happy to see the country having more prosperity that benefits the citizens of Russia, I am quite fascinated by all of the similarities between our two cultures as well as the differences.
Ты бы еще времена Ивана Грозного вспомнил.
Straight forward and honest presentation, focused on food choices - not prices. This is well done. Im subscribing based solely on this video.
Thank you Russell for sharing this information about Russian Supermarkets... Happy New Year January 27 2024
Thanks for the video! Whether you know about grocery chain called "Red caviar" in Moscow and Moscow region? One shop is even in your town. Probably you would be interested for filming it because of the name😃👍
*There is no network of such stores in Russia!*
@@FCSMHooliganwrong, it does exist. You can use Google, I presume?

Unfortunately in Finland we don’t have so modern and developed food quality control equipment like you have in Russia…And the choice of the products not so wide in here, and nowadays Finland is crazy expensive country.!
About 20 years ago russians came to Finland to buy everything , but I see now they dont need our products anymore cause they live much better then before., and our media doesn’t really recognise it🙈

Рассел, здравствуйте! Ваши любимые пирожные, которых вы называете кружочками, на самом деле - колечки с творогом.
I lived in Russia 10 years ago. I worked for a company that produced commercial equipment for stores. Pyaterochka/Perekrestok were our clients. All their stores are made according to European standards, even the baskets.
Такого уровня магазины этой сети даже в маленьких районных центрах в 500 км от Москвы. И этого в советское время не было. Это классно.
Need to convert prices to kilos vs pounds. Kilo is 2.2 lbs. Another thing is prices as marked and there’s no extra tax charge at checkout like here in USA.
If you put the pasta sauce next to the pasta, just think of how many things the customer misses looking at while going to get the pasta or the sauce.
Just in time for dinner 🍽️ as usual 🤌🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎬 you're the man Russell!
Thanks Russell, I enjoyed the video. I'm new to your channel. It will be interesting to watch your various tours.
Some of the foreign viewers may be missing the point of the store name. Russian education system has 5 numerical grades with "5" being the highest. It's the equivalent of A in US. So Pyaterochka means something like "exemplary" (but the chain itself is very budget-y)
You know what our Aussie supermarkets are like Russell👍
I do, I was actually working in Coles as a merchandiser during cov*d. I actually loved that job. But keeping the store up to scratch was an impossible task.
@@TravellingwithRussell I worked for awhile at Meijers and then Walmart. SO I know what it is like. Live in the US for 17 years. Have dual citizenship.

Hello Rasel, have you visited the Chizhik metro traffic light skidkino chain of stores in Russia And there are many economy class chain stores chizhik, traffic light, coin, skidkino, fixed price, or have you already been there? Good luck
Always find it funny seeing Whiskas and Dreamies in places like this.
Live UK and while the prices (6 dollars for Stoli) sound amazing wonder what general cost of living is - after bills go out I have to economise big time.
The cost of living is peanuts compared to the UK. My monthly utlities bill in Moscow is typically under £20 (this includes, heating, water bill, broadband internet, and 100 TV channel package). I would stress that heating and hot water are on 24/7 for most months of the year as well - due to the cold winters.
Also the quality of the internet and reliability of most services is way better (in Moscow) than in the UK. In 9 years I've only lost internet access for about 20 minutes (due to some minor electricity maintenance being performed in my building - which residents were given advanced warning about).
Running a car is far cheaper in Russia (than in the UK) and you'd struggle to find any measure by which the Moscow Metro is not better than the equivalent in London.
If you'd have asked me 10 years ago, I would have said typical grocery prices in Russia and the UK were about the same, but these days (after the events of the last 2 years), I would say that your weekly shopping bill would be quite a bit less in Russia now, than in the UK.
General cost of living is low in Russia. An average monthly bill across the country is $60.

Моя семья платит две ипотеки, но это скорее вложение средств, потому что на жизнь уходит меньше половины заработка. Обычно у русских квартиры в городе и домик за городом, дача называется у нас, 87% имеют своё жильё, но многие по 2-3. Квартплата 40-50$, но многие считают что государство должно платить, как-то было у родителей))) при коммунистах)) и моя подруга совсем не платит)) и есть целые объединения людей, кто не платит квартплату, выселить не имеют право.
по сравнению с Великобританией в России цены на все ниже, но надо учитывать, что и зарплаты россиян ниже.
Every American should be questioning and upset at what is going on here in the USA - there's no real reason why we are seeing prices for food at double, triple or even 4 times the price of what we're being shown here today - this could be propaganda but I really do not think so. Thank you Russell for sharing. Eggs for example for a dozen are at least $3 USD and those are the Grade A medium ones - a very good egg but if you want the "cage free" or want other stamps on the carton they can easily be $5-$6 a dozen.
Again, thank you for sharing! I'd love to sample some of the sardines especially ;-)
> prices for food at double, triple or even 4 times the price of what we're being shown here today - this could be propaganda but...
No, it is not propaganda.
As to the huge price differences ... you should compare them to the respective income.
Сейчас начнется что нет людей в магазине. :D
100%🤦🏼♂️😂🤣😂🤣
@alex-hk5wq 16:00 в рабочий день, конечно все в это время там за покупками ))

Магазинов в каждом районе настолько много, что это неудивительно.
В моём районе (можайский) в 10 минутной доступности: 2 магнита, 3 пятерочки, 2 КБ, 1 Ярче, 1 БиМ, несколько продуктовых без названия и огромный Ашан. // 8 продуктовых в 10 мин доступности 😂
+ помимо двух КБ еще что то есть но я нечасто по ним хожу.
UPD: я пересчитал, оказывается у нас ещё вкусвилл открылся и дикси есть. Получается 10 продуктовых в пределах 10 мин от дома 😁
напишут, конечно. Может додумаются до того, что продукты специально завезли перед визитом Рассела в магазин. А сзади, за ним по пятам шли сотрудники жуткого КГБ с автоматами в руках.
Loving this tour of a Russian grocery store thanks for doing this I really enjoyed learning something new
How much cost the popular Novitjok?
Hi Russell! I know that is not your type of content. But what do you think about make some hobby (like painting or flowers stuff), sport/gym, camping or toys shops videos?
Кстати Рассел не хотели бы вы заценить Ребрендинг другой крупной сети под названием Магнит?
Prices in Russia compared to here in British Columbia Canada is about 50%-70% cheaper in Russia 🇷🇺 incredible.
? you know that salaries and pensions are much lower in Russia?
it is very reasonable...I always compare to Germany where I live and I am surprised how expensive it is in Russia considering the incomes. How do think a babushka with 200 USD pension or a teacher with 800 USD salary can afford these prices...even with lower costs of living. People who say "look Russia how cheap" are living in denial or they are troll bots
@jerrylee4485 yes they can.
@@jerrylee4485 Canada has horrible wages and taxes are insanely high, cost of living is unaffordable. So when comparing Canada 🇨🇦 to Russia 🇷🇺 Russia is winning.
The utility bills are actually much lower too. You have to mention that when talking about the price of living in Russia. I pay 90e for a 86m2 flat in Moscow. That's maintenance, water and unlimited heating included (average temperature in the flat in winter/autumn/spring is 23-25c). My electricity bill is about 7,5e a month. My house has gas but I installed an electric cooker and an electric oven. So 7,5e is for all the electricity consumption a month (lights, computer, cooking, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge etc). And I work from home so I spend a lot of time there so the light is mostly on. If I use aircon in summer the bill is about 10-15e per month. Petrol is 0,55e. The public transport is 0,6e per one go independent of the milage. It's free for the pensioners. I spend about 200e on grocery a month and don't actually limit myself. 100mb internet is 9,5e per month. Mobile phone is 10e per month. So yeah, a teacher with 800e salary can pretty much afford these prices. And the babushkas mostly do too. Don't forget that many people including babushkas actually own their real estate. So they don't have to pay rent or mortgage.
@@kloukva A babushka with 200e pension is done after doing the grocery (according to your figures), then she is done for the month
@TravelingwithRussell : Thanks Russell for showing us the rual areas. Much appreciated.
Great video as always! What a really nice store, one of the cleanest and neatest I've ever seen and the prices are really really good too. I shop at Walmart, a one stop shop! Oh yeah enjoyed looking at the snow too! I live in Tampa Florida no snow here. Also I'M TEAM RUSSELL! 😊
Today the Ruble to USD is 89.99 to $1 USD - prices look to be very nice. The size of this store seems to be about twice the size of an Aldi or about 2/3rds the size of most US supermarkets. Interesting to see the varied selection of foods both preserved and fresh - I have no doubt that there are wide differences in quality of the different brands....
I live in a small mid-west US city (population 40,000). We have an Aldi's similar in size to this store, two Walmart's, two Kroger's, and a regional store called Meijer's that are all multiple times bigger. I'm 66 and have never know a time that you could not go to a supermarket or neighborhood market for food.
Beautiful super market, nice neat and well stocked. I'm in Utah, a state America. I like your size store there, many here are much larger, I'd say by x3 I try to stay away from those super sized spots love the home town feel of Smith's(Kroger) store but it's still huge to me
И на США, должно быть, наложено десяток другой тысяч санкций, чтобы этого изобилия в магазинах не было. Не наложено? Тогда чем ты тут хвастаешься? А вот на Россию наложено - твоей страной и её сателлитами, и, тем не менее, вопреки вашим усилиям, народ там не голодает. Но с СССР у вас получилось, а на России зубы обломаете!
