Cost of Living USA vs Morocco, How Much Does Souk Cost? MorAcro, Schaumburg, Illinois
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- Mor Acro is back from Morocco, we investigate the cost of living USA and we have sticker shock as we check the cost of vegetables and fruit at our local farmers market in Schaumburg Illinois. Considered a bit pricier than local grocery stores, the Schaumburg farmers market serves the Schaumburg area. connecting producers to consumers. Nestled in the heart of Schaumburg Illinois, the weekly farmers market sells more than fruit and vegetables, but also meats and dairy as well, something for every taste. The variety of products really surprised me, it was cool to see the flavors and diversity of what farmers are producing. We try our 200 Dh challenge to see what $20 would get us at the Illinois farmers market vs the souk. If you have been following Moracro since Agadir Morocco, you know he loves his fruits and veggies to fuel a healthy body with a yoga lifestyle.
Todays products include: Sunchokes, Hair of the Ferret, Pineapple peach mango salsa, Popcorn, Birch Sap, Baby garlic, Hibiscus tea, Beef for tajine, Dog treat, Walleye freshwater fish.
Thanks for tuning in as we move with our UA-cam channel and vlogs to a new life chapter.

Actually I like your mom she is a such a good person... I hope you can bring her to morocco someday!!!
One day, inshallah, we all come together to Morocco 🇲🇦
I'm an American who moved to Morocco from Manhattan, New York City. Everything here is much cheaper but some imported items could be more than in the States. I get one lemon for 1 Dirham which is less than 10 cents. My brother just saw a bag of five lemons at a Walmart for $4.99. Beautiful red ripe tomatoes are 4 Dirhams a kilo which is less than 40 cents for 2.2 pounds. Once in New York I needed one tomato and Gristedes wanted $1.75 ten years ago for one tomato. A major savings on food alone.
Yes. If you like REAL food, Morocco is your place.
Welcome to Morocco.
Yeah its cheap but compare the salaries as well.. its nothing to your monthly pay.
Produce is much cheaper here in Texas. Lemons are 4 for $1. Limes are 6 for $1. Chicken thighs and drumsticks are 99 cents a pound. Tomatoes are 80 cents a pound. Still very expensive to Moroccan souks.
Living expenses in New York, California and Tokyo are outrageous.
John.. did you marry a Moroccan woman so you can get away from the hustle and bustle of city life? Morocco is nice and peaceful compared to any big cities here in the US.
@@khalidnaitelmouddene3279 Even for the difference between salaries , organic food is too expensive in US !
Moroccan women, symbol of elegance and beauty We are funny Family is sacred . We are gourmets We accept diversity We are educated We keep our traditions and values We are welcoming We are generous
Honorable values.
That was a fun but very different souk (farmers market) that we are used to see in Morocco! Would you like to see more farmers markets from the USA? Do you like farmers markets like we do? Share your opinion in the comments below!
obviously Morocco is more expensive😜😜
Slovenian farmers market!
The Moroccan is highly organic.the ones here are more scammer like , pricey and they resell stores items as farmers...i stopped going there
@@adameinstein7324 not all produce in Morocco is oragnic, sometimes quite opposite: www.moroccoworldnews.com/2020/09/318277/morocco-among-top-importers-of-toxic-pesticides-banned-in-eu
@@MorAcro soon 😄
ناوي ترجع تزور المغرب؟ مرحبا بيك. جيب معاك الوليدة المرة الجاية ان شاء ألله. تحية طيبة
Chokran!
@@MorAcro afouan 👍
مرحبا بيك أخي mor
ابتسامتك وابتسامة والدتك اجبرتني على مشاهدة الفيديو
انت رائع صديقي 🇲🇦❤️💚💙🇺🇲
توحشناكم في المغرب
Chokran!
People of Morocco were so hospitable and welcoming with you ,so we hope you make a good ambassador of Morocco and grateful. Thank you .we are always watching your videos.
Thank you! 😃 I want to sell argan and amlou here :P
@@MorAcro this great idea, and amlo you can make it
@@MorAcro no dont do it, because that would cause a vicious war between Nutella and Amlou :)))
I live in Manhattan, sometimes I go to the Union Square Farmers Market to shop. the produce there is fresh and more tasty, but what people should know , especially Moroccans, is that Farmers Markets in the USA are, most of the time, more expensive than the regular super markets due to the quality of their products, whereas in Morocco is the other way around !! :)
That's a very good point! :) I still don't get why it's the case though, I never buy vegetables or fruits from the supermarket as they look absolutely unnatural haha.
. Marhaba tahiya lilom
Chokran kholla Ben!
My brother, your vacation is long, Morocco misses you. Greetings to you and everyone in the family
Thank you, we are having a great time here!
نحن نقيم عظيم وقت ممتع هنا
Nice to see you again Mr Moe Acro and your mum's
Thanks for watching!
I live by there and visit that market every Friday. The vendors are the most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. Everyone knows eachother by name or sight. America is the only place that costs more to eat healthy. You get what you pay for. LOVE that place! :')
Thanks for watching!
Take care of your mom plz and big hello from Moroccans fans
Will do!
What I like about your markets is that clean and orgnized.
true!
Good salem alaikom mon ami send my hello for your gentille mother Allah yhfadhalik thala fiha
Thank you, I will Welcome!
Lovely Farmer's market👌. Nice to compare it to the souks. Your Mom would LOVE the souks ( definitely something to plan)👍. Thanks for bringing me along.☘🤗.
Thanks 👍 we will see if she makes it one day...would love to see an Irish souk one day!
Use the garlic stems to make beef/vegetable soup. Normally, I would use leeks but garlic stems should be great also.
Sounds good to me...some goulash coming up!
Fantastic choice of foods and great variety.
Change from Souk but each country has it's own charm.
Be happy.
I agree, I enjoyed my local souk a lot!
Yes very different to Morocco. So much more choice and value for your buck there in Agadir. I live in England but love the natural quality of food in Morocco. What do you think,having lived there for so long? Would you go back to live there again or will you be settling in America now? I loved your time in Morocco and it felt like I was there with you. Take mama with you next time, perhaps?
Yes would love to return, there are reasons I left America, and though my life has changed, I still feel the same.
WELCOME TO MOROCCO 🇲🇦 🤝 🇱🇷 🤳
Shukran bzaff!
all your products are in a box in Morocco the freshness of the products is everywhere
Abundance in Morocco!
your voice is not the same as usual, so take honey to relieve your voice. I like the miele with the cannel. Long live the bees!
Thank you, I will!
It really is a super farmer's market. It's always good to encourage local products.
It really is. Think global, act local!
very nice Schaumburg, Illinois market for vegetables, cakes, meat and convenient take out.
Yes indeed! We were surprised what we found!
Nice
Very nice
We love you so much from moroccan living in qgermany

Thank you so much!
That farmer market is very clean and organized, I hope one day the Moroccan souks will be like that too.
Ne compare pas des souks traditionnels à l'ancienne et à la marocaine avec des farmers markets à l'américaine qui sont bien organisés à l'avance et bien encadrés 😉
So clean.
أنت طيب ذكرياتك في قولوب المغاريبا
Shukran!

A beautiful market and we add not like us in Morocco Haha, but the prices are high, I love these comparisons❤️👍🏻
Shukran bro!
In Latvia we make birch water champagne! Sparkling and refreshing tho. And u can add some lemon zest and cinnamon to your birch water, it gives more flavour.
Hi Aiwa, nice to hear from you! We are just discovering birch sap and we love it. Thanks for the tips. I hope everything is good with you!
@@MorAcro guys, all the best to you. Enjoying every video from Schaumurg! Hopefully to see u once again in Morocco.

Salam aleykoum rahmatoullah mashallah ta maman
Shukran!
Hey Moracro fam! Yea, farmer's markets are always the best & freshest. Connecting with the ppl who grow your food is always very special. Mom's so cool. I love Sorrel, aka Jamaica (Agua Fresca de Jamaica), aka Hibiscus tea. The Caribbean version, Sorrel, is so full of exotic flavors, it almost tastes medicinal (& probably is) - Mmmmmm! Unfortunately, we dont get much for our $ here compared to Maroc 🤨
It's all relative✌🏽
Hey there, Hibiscus tea sounds tasty, all we drink in Morocco is mint tea haha, about the prices being different i think that it's exactly like you mentioned, it's all relative as I honestly wouldn't mind paying more if that means having the organization that Farmers Markets in the USA have... ours are a bit too messy 😶
@@L3ZAWI You're right about the organization aspect. They also have much more strict guidelines about organic certification as well, which is particularly important to me
Salam mor acro 👍👍👍
Salam!
Hi, Kiven can you take a meal at Englewood ? For instance a dinner.
Don't be scared!
We will see if mom approves.
Nice people
Thanks Fouad
kevin u have to bring ur family in a tour here in morocco especially ur mom

Shukran!
Hello everyone
I like the americain souk , so nice :)
It was a nice experience, just different.
so inspiring as always bro, carry on!
Thank you! Will do!
There is a huge difference in price
The only deferent is in table and looks
True, we will have a Slovenian version soon.
Good salam acro🇲🇦🤝🇺🇸 the souk in America is a beautiful and the harrisa is good for tajjin.. bassaha
Ciao a la mamma
Ciao Mo!
ماشاء الله تبارك الله 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️
Chokran Fatima!
Super 👍 👍👍👍🇲🇦
Thank you! Cheers!
0:40 , you mean you could buy 20 kg of tomatoes not 2 . ( at 2.5 DH/kg)
I meant 2 kilos would blow our 200 dh budget here. which is craaaazy.
I didn't see tomato and others vegetables but the sook seems good. Clean little bit expensive :) but very original product
Yes, thanks, it is ok.
Hii we miss you 😟come again to morocco, but other city to see more beautiful things in morocco ❤️🇲🇦
Very soon!
Kevin, I am sure, that makes you feel in Morocco 😁
Not the same, but still nice!
Hi bro ✌️❤️ how are you doing
All good
Ciao bello
Ciao ciao!
I like it
The glass containers cost more than the product itself
Of course, birch sap is free If you have a birch…
