In this video I take you on a tour of basic food items and their prices at the Metro store so that you can compare them to your prices in your country. Fruit, bread, meat, fish, butter, milk, cheese, toilet paper, dish washing liquid, peanut butter, coffee and tea, to mention a few.
Of the many reasons I love to visit this store, like their awesome self check out machines, the main reason would be because of the very friendly and helpful staff. I make special mention of the store managers, Donald, Peter and Brandon. Go and visit this store and see what I mean.
Today I visited the Metro store on Rebecca & Third Line, Oakville.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that this video was recorded before store hours, to avoid contact due to COVID-19. At 7 a.m., as the store opened, we wore masks and stuck to the guidelines as per the store and the general COVID-19 rules.

Hey I've lived in Canada my whole life but I love these videos and love seeing you showcase the country! Awesome! Also I used to work at Metro.
Thank you!!
Hi love one
@@AndreavanNiekerk hi
You did a good job 👏. Amazing tour in Canadian grocery store 🏬. I really enjoy it
Amazing video. Another tip: if you are looking for marmite or bovril look in the baking section- it is never in the spreads section of the shop
True!!! Thanks
For bakers: pay close attention to the flour section- many different kinds of flour available.
Absolutely loving your videos, thank you! We are in process of moving from South Africa to Toronto and these have been helpful
Here's a helpful tip from a Canadian for you when the two of you get to Canada; shop at the No Frills chain to save money, it has good food at low prices.
Because of the French Canadian connection we have some of the finest cheese in the world. Hence the quality which is what drives up the price.
Ah ha!!!!!!👍🏻⭐️⭐️
Canadian dairy prices are kept high due to our supply management system, which is designed to keep surpluses to a minimum. Great for the farmers, but bad for consumers.
Yea beautiful ur video always give me a peace of mind love it.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely loving it! Thank you for all of the valuable information and insight 💕
😊 thank you so much!
I like your video . i will be in Ottawa next year
Awesome !!!!
I love ur channel sis especially the grocery shoping has bn so therapeutic to watch. Pls upload more of that
Thank you and more power to your channel.
Aaaaaah thanks so much, means so much! Dying to get into the stores without a mask! I am waiting for approvals - not easy
The sweet kale shredded salad is amazing right! And on coffee, stay away from the Maxwell House coffee, it's awful! Next time when you're doing a shopping video again, spend some time at the cleaning products showing people the great availability of eco-friendly cleaning products that we get here!
Yes great idea!
Love these shopping videos💃 Pls make one on Costco shopping and clothes shopping too if you get time🙌
Yay, a whole 30 minutes kuier in Canada! My children arrived in Toronto end November and thankfully got jobs after me praying like crazy, at a vaccination clinic, nogal. Maybe soon there will be a kuier that's not digital.
Nice video Andrea! Keep it up! Love, from Brazil
Love your grocery tours! I do have to also give credit to the camerman who does an awesome job shooting these videos, stable hand, perfect lighting. 👍
As always great presentation and can't wait for another awesome tour. 👍
P. S. I'd love to know the different variety of condiments and their price points. thanks!
Thanks and you are right! The camera person in this video is a legend!
Really enjoyed your video, thanks! 👍
Great info for when we come visit 😉
I worked at Metro for many years and prior to that when it was A&P
Metro IS way too expensive, especially now.
If in Canada places to shop and save actual money is Walmart , NO Frills, Freshco, Food Basics.
Know your prices, check the unit price but Metro , Zehrs and Sobeys has always been a higher end store on the food chain.
Lady I loved ur nike jacket looks awsm on u
Your videos are so fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. You are encouraging us more....
Love you from Namibia 🇳🇦🇳🇦
Metro is the most expensive grocery store around. Have you tried Farm Boy? Best grocery store in Ontario.
I shop between Walmart grocery pick up and Freshco in Ontario, keeps my food bill down
Lekker video!! Thanks!
Thanks!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good quality cheese is very expensive in the USA too. I don't understand why Aldi doesn't open up in Canada and Trader Joe's too.
I'd say don't dismiss KD (Kraft Dinner macaroni and cheese) until you've tried the regular cheese (not the sharp cheddar). I grew up on the stuff as a child! I'm pretty sure Coke on sale (at IGA in Quebec) is usually 2 for $2.50 (so, 4 for $5.00) - actually, it's currently on sale this week at 99 cents each, so 4 for $3.96!
I still love KD!
Good store. Almost like Paknsave and Countdown in NZ. Prices in Metro, for some items are quite pricey! 😊. But then it's always the case. It was funny to see you muzzle up suddenly! 😂😂😂😂. But it's the wacky rules at present.
I know right!
Canada is getting to expensive and metro is very expensive for me I go to food basics or frescho and sometimes metro for meat
I also love to shoo around for certain items. I am desperate to do a video at Freshco and No Frills but because they are not “owner run” the corporate tape is crazy and I cannot get permission to shoot videos in store! I will keep trying!!
Exactly smart shoppers shop at the discount stores
Wow! This is absolutely awesome!
Love your videos soo much... Hello from Cuba
Thank you!
Hi Andea amazing videos another one
Regarding peanut butter, at 28:01 Adams Peanut Butter is on the screen by your hand. The list of ingredients: Peanuts, salt. The best peanut butter you will ever eat!
Ok that is SO next on my list Kenny.
Wow Canadians are so great lol 😆
Very good presentation, thank you for the video
Thank you darling!!!!!💕
Just saying that Italian pasta is great because it is largely made with Canadian hard wheat. Italy just doesn't grow enough wheat to furnish its own market and export to the world.
i love love love your videos!! wierdly i love grocery shopping its kinda a little disney land for me
I love Canada i wanna come to Canada 👌
Ontario lamb 1000x better than frozen NZ or Aus lamb.
I agree Ben. The NZ lamb has quite a wild taste about it...
What taste does Canada lamb have?
First an foremost love the videos just wish u could do one like on all tin food and other stuff like BBQ sauce an ketchup soy sauce and other sauce pls.
You have to be so careful about the quality of the "cheaper cheese" here. If you spend a little more on the expensive cheese, the flavor and quality will usually go further and you won't use as much which will actually cut cost in the long run. I had to teach my husband this as well and now he understands completely what I mean.
You are so right!
Self checkout puts people out of work. They tried it at the Canadian Tire in Cobourg and most people simply refused to use it. Eventually they took them out. I will continue to refuse to use self checkout in hopes that a few cashiers can keep their jobs.
At 1:00. Cheese and yogurt are expensive in Canada compared to the EU countries.
WE FIND THAT "METRO" PRICES ARE QUITE HIGH COMPARED TO PROVIGO(LOBLAWS) OR SUPER C UNLESS ON SALE.
This is great content would you please cover where to buy appliances and their prices
Great idea! Thanks 🙏
Beautiful ❤️
Hey...pls cover more chocolates n Candy racks
When i retire in 4years i am moving to oakville canada ! Richard Jr.
At 26:17. You can find Coke cheaper than $2.50 a bottle.
Hello could I please give us advice .immigrate to usa or canada . I am new follower.
It's much harder to gain entry to the US, especially for people from the Middle East.
Next stop, Canadian Tire. Did you ever do the No Frills video?
Yessss love Canadian Tire! No - they won’t let me film without authorization… will keep trying!
Why nobody is there in metro? And which city is this??
It’s because we filmed at 6am - the store was not open yet!
@@AndreavanNiekerk ohhh nice, u got permission from them to film metro?
I wish Canada was my home and native land.
Love your videos ❤️😍
i wish i could live in canada i live in africa
So nice
Thanks!
I miss the fun of grocery shopping, Andie.
Metro have problems with fizzy drinks.They've extra up the price long time ago,before it was 2$ fo a 2L bottle.
I think Cola cola is bit mo expensive then Pepsi.
And 1$ in special.
Just like for the white Zig zag rolling paper was 85 cents now it's 2.25$.
Now some depanneurs are starting to low prices.
How come you sound kiwi? If you would not mention that you are from south Africa, I would be thinking for whole time that you are from New Zealand.
I miss those prices 😭
Wow, looking at the cleaning products and fresh food produce, Canada is way more expensive than some of the European countries. All depends on what you earn in Canada. I lived in Canada before, so there are also many downsides to this place. Glad we are back in Europe, because it is quite central. I visit Cape Town, South Africa once a year. Somehow, people always 'forget' to tell you how cold and miserable it is in Canada during Winter. Very unpleasant from my point of view. Depression, snow shovelling, black ice, treacherous driving conditions....slipping and sliding and temperatures can soar to -40 degrees Celsius. Very short Summers and mosquitos biting you in Summer. It is certainly not everyone's cup of tea to emigrate to Canada. But 'good luck' to you.
I hear you Walter! Also depends on where you live in Canada….. on the weather issue. Then some of us come over with not caring about weather when safety and security is your driving factor if you’ve experienced violence. It’s great that you have the option to live in a place you love- so so great! Some people actually love winter!!!! Weird to think I know!!! I appreciate your comments because they are honest. I like that.
You sound luke a real downer Walter.
vlog için teşekkürler 👍
Hi，Andrea，which airline you use from Cape Town to Toronto Better?
I think we’ve used both Delta (fly via the US) and it is the shortest amount of time in the air and KLM (via Amsterdam) are good!
Can one buy Rooibos tea there?
Oh wait - i just spotted it in your other video: South African food in Canada. Nevermind!
11:31 looks like canada dosent take care of their lights...
Hi, I m shocked to see the price of foods, it’s way cheaper than NZ. NZ is expensive for food wise
Oh wow really?
@@AndreavanNiekerk yeah all the prices you showed I compared with NZ prices
Thank you so much for your efforts you do, I really enjoy your vlogs
😊
It really depends on where you go; I live in Auckland and Pak N Save is very cheap when it comes to food. What I do like from Canadian supermarkets is that they have many more choices than we do in NZ... I am a bit jealous TBH.
Good Morning..Do they sell Jamaican food brand products like grace, lasco etc?
Is that a yes?
Hi Richard, I don’t think so. There is a store in Burlington that does sell all these things though called Joe’s African & Caribbean Market Inc.
@@AndreavanNiekerk Thank you Andrea for the update
I'm pretty sure No Frills and maybe even Sobeys both carry Grace brand products. Sometimes product selection is slightly different based on the demographics of the area.
I pay $44.00 in my country four 4 coka cola it goes at $11.oo for one.
Yikes that’s crazy!
Wonder if you could do a new grocery shop end 2022?
beautiful shopping mall I want job in shopping mall
Awesome 🍁🍁🍁
hello Andrea do you have Dutch roots
Awesome video 😊😉
Hello Anja - my husband last name is Dutch. My heritage is actually Danish!!!!
hello,
I'm watching your video always ,From Kurdistan region of Iraq
🥰
Thank you A!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good work 👍❤️😁
Canada has a lot of restrictions and rules around importing cheese
Am I correct in thinking that English and Dutch are the official languages in South Africa? Your last name sounds Dutch, yet you speak English fluently.
English and Afrikaans (comes from Dutch). I speak both but English is my first language!
Love you canda
So lekker Ands!
Groot Dankie!!⭐️

Jesus Christ saves come to him and repent and follow him today today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late heaven and hell is real
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
