In fact, in China, especially in big cities like Shanghai, many young people prefer to shop online. Because logistics and express delivery are very developed in China. You can only see very few young people shopping in supermarkets, while the majority are elderly people who enjoy using coupons. Unfortunately, you can't experience online shopping or Alipay in Shanghai, which is why China is more convenient now.
No, I think supermarkets are still quite popular even among young people, compared to online shopping, they are cheaper, fresher and more convenient, you don't always want to wait till the next day to get your groceries , especially foods.
@@joey3291 You see, what I said about "China" above is not rigorous because China is very large. I live in Shanghai, and the situation I mentioned above can only represent Shanghai. I would like to add my statement.

In fact, only elderly people nowadays prefer to buy groceries face-to-face, but compared to supermarkets, they are more willing to go to traditional vegetable markets distributed in cities. Young people tend to order takeout, while middle-aged people need to cook for themselves. They like to buy groceries through mobile apps (Meituan) and deliver them directly to their homes. Therefore, Chinese supermarkets tend to choose to build amusement parks to attract customers, and there are more snacks available. Almost no one buys clothes in the mall, and major brand clothing is purchased through apps.
It's fascinating to read insights like this. China is so technologically ahead than any other country you can think of, so i imagine their daily habit is also geared to anything that makes life more convenient, aka online-centric. I myself have multiple parcels arriving almost every day, and yes, most are from China, so sometimes i wonder what would their shopping be like since the convenient factor is multiplied for them to shop online. I don't even have appetite for retail shopping anymore despite formerly being somewhat a shopaholic, and the only times i do is when i view anything livestreamed (so, back to online it is, lol!).

Had a great time watching your video! As a Chinese, it was eye-opening as well since I rarely visited a supermarket like you guys. I would like to point out some mistakes or offer some translations, hoping it can help with the understanding for the interested: 8:26 Those chips are respectively sea salt (yellow) and nori (blue) flavour. 8:54 The tag says buy 2 bags, you get a 5 yuan discount. 10:48 It's made of soybean (green package). 11:38 It's actually duck wings (similar hehe). 14:07 The tag says salted meat with skin, but it doesn’t specify which meat it is. 14:44 It's actually pork ^_^ 15:34 It is indeed a mushroom called snow fungus or snow ear (names found on wikipedia). 15:42 It's vermicelli which is made of sweet potatoes. 17:19 It is indeed pomelo. 19:16 It's a very popular Chinese snack called latiao (googleable) which means spicy bars. 22:01 Funny thing, because China has its own shoe size system, but I would say no one uses it. Instead, everyone uses the European system, hence the "EU 42/43".
In China, various types of supermarkets can be purchased online, and many people place orders online. After placing an order, it usually takes 10-30 minutes to deliver it to their home!
@@PVPmc121 These platforms provide same-day delivery services in any city in China. If it takes more than an hour and it's not delivered, I'll call and complain.
Twenty years ago, these foreign chain supermarkets were very popular. Due to the shift of all shopping environments in China to the internet, traditional supermarkets have declined, and many supermarkets and malls have started to integrate comprehensive leisure. These foreign chain supermarkets have conservative thinking and lack innovation, so few people go there. If you want to visit a supermarket, it's best to go to a local large supermarket, they are even better!
@serriajohn in China，supermarkets（such as Hema）are delivered to their homes in half an hour, and the starting price is less than 40 yuan. Wal Mart is not competitive
I believe that the models of these Chinese supermarkets and shopping malls have been explored through 20 years of internetization. After being fully internetized abroad, it is worth learning from.
Indeed, people under the age of 50 in China basically don’t go to supermarkets anymore. The transaction volume of e-commerce platforms is more than a hundred times higher than that of supermarkets.
Huangjiu (Yellow Rice Wine) is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world, (3000 years old). Yeast variety quality determines wine quality. Originated in China, and only in China, and beer, wine and the world's three major ancient wine. Rice wine in the south with glutinous rice, north to millet rice, millet and glutinous rice (north called Jiangrice) as raw materials, the general alcohol content of 14%-20%, belongs to low degree brewing wine.
When I visit US and Canada, Walmart is also one of my favorite places to go.... btw, the 5 yuan tip near the Lays chips means if you buy two packs the total price could be 5 yuan less as a kind of promotion.
I live in the US and Walmart is one of my least favorite places to go 😅 but they do have “unbeatable prices” (as their motto states), so I go maybe 2x a month for groceries and other necessities
@@abcdefg-oj5wn I have not gone to a Walmart for over 2 years, even though there's one Walmart a few miles from my house. It makes me angry to shop there because most of the things are locked up. You have to look for a salesperson to open the cabinets/cages for you to pick up a merchandise. I would rather shop online or Costco. There's no freedom to shop.
Usually we don't buy digital products, clothes, shoes etc. in a Chinese supermarket, products under those categories in supermarkets are usually cheap ones with unknown brands. Food and daily necessities would be fine though.
I am Chinese but only been to Shanghai once when I was young. This is very entertaining for me to watch. Feels like I'm travelling with 2 friends. Great videos❤
every time i see a foreigner coming to china for the first time, i always feel interesting since so many things are completely different. take an example, walmart is not competitive in china now, china’s oww store brand are doing much better in localization, and other industries too.
None of the western businesses in China are competitive enough, the only reason places like McDonald's and Starbucks can survive in China is because of it's novelty and bling appeal as place to be seen in.
@@etow8034 I feel like it’s more because Western fast food tastes different from Chinese fast food. Like take McDonald’s for an example. There’s no junk food item in China that will taste like a McDonald’s hamburger (except a McDonald’s hamburger). I feel like if they opened other junk food places like Taco Bell or Pizza Hut in China, it would be pretty successful (not sure if they already have those restaurants). Last time that I visited China, McD and Starbucks were pretty crowded (especially Starbucks).
@@abcdefg-oj5wn McDonald's, Starbucks and KFC have huge menus in China that cater to the Chinese consumers and palates, the menus there are nothing like the limited menu we have here in North America or Europe. These western fast food chains are still novelty places to be seen in for China's middle class and if you take 69% of 1.4 billion that is a humongous middle class that have yet to try these fast food chains. Believe it or not the next big thing in China is "Red Gold" or aka tomato sauce/paste, China currently produces over 70% of the global tomato paste beating out the US and Italy by a long mile and this is not even beginning to include internal consumption which will grow by leaps and bounds the next two decades as China's youth grow up with western fast foods like pizzas, hot dogs and hamburgers that use tomato paste and ketchup !
@@juzhao Very few western businesses succeed in China because the Chinese ones will always be an improvement and cost less. Stores like Walmart, Costco and Ikea are simply just novelty to Chinese consumers and once they visited they will never return !
Rather amazing to see you both browse from one aisle to another showing us stuff sold at that Walmart in China. It's indeed massive ! Thanks for sharing, Steve lvana. Great that your China series is doing very well. Bravo 👍💪
Westerners think that poor Chinese eat chicken feet and duck feet because they cannot afford meat. In fact, the price of chicken feet and duck feet in China is much higher than that of chicken.
I used to fall as a kid (in Singapore) n d traditional doctor prescribed chicken feet n peanut soup. It worked. But I'm reduced to buying pickled pork skin this 12.12; chicken claws too expensive. Just received today. The beef cubes n little crabs etc already arrived. For most groceries n even meat n vegetables I order from a local cooperative in Singapore weekly.
In China, most of the shopping in cities is online, and few people go to supermarkets like Wal Mart. Even vegetables are bought online and delivered within an hour
Chinese supermarkets are usually set up in this way where the groceries are right before the cashiers, because people usually visit supermarket for groceries, and if they put groceries at the entrance, people are more likely to get their groceries and skip everything else.
I’ve been to Walmart in the US, Canada, and Mexico. I’m amazed that English is used on a lot of the products etc in China. In Mexico English was rarely used on products. It was used on the aisle signs with Spanish in Walmart.
As a chinese who lives in Shenzhen, I really enjoy ur trip and daily videos in China to let more people know about it! And welcome u visit Shenzhen one day! Btw, I am gonna go to Canada to pursue my PhD next year fall, hope I will have a nice adventure in Canada!😀
Hope you enjoy your studies in Canada. Make sure to double check what you can and cannot bring into Canada, many people from Asia get busted for bringing in excessive amounts of cigarettes and prohibited foods.
My parents are 83 and 85 years old living in China. They do their shopping including grocery shopping online. The delivery service is cheap and convenient.
In Chinese supermarkets, it's common for prices to be calculated based on weight, with 500 grams as the standard unit. So, the prices you see on the labels of apples and oranges in the video are calculated per 500 grams.
Walmart is still expensive, we all buy online, such as the 6 cans of Coke, Sprite only cost 9.9 yuan, as long as the purchase of 39 yuan, free delivery within 30 minutes.😂
these overseas big chain groceries are not popular in china anymore, i remember that 25 years ago when Carrefour and METRO AG from france and Germany just entered china in 1998 , they were so popular , i almost did all my shopping in these groceries including even some of my clothing , they were always packed, i even remembered a french guy was helping refill the shelf there because it was too busy, they say he was the manager of the store, then around 5 years ago, I heard Carrefour were all closed in my city, and METOR AG quit my city more than 15 years ago .
Metro is under its Chinese partner WuMart. Carrefour is now under Suning Group. And there’s Auchan, Carrefour’s rival in their native France, is under Alibaba-backed RT Mart Group
As a Chinese, I am really amused, there are so many kinds of food you didn't recognized correctly, I don't know where to start but it's so funny. Those are not mushrooms, but noodles made by rice or sweet potato
Alien fingers?! 😂😅It's actually called Latiao (It's like noodles made from wheat flour, and it's usually spicy), which is a very popular snack in China
I am a bit jealous as an American. We do not have that type of selection (look at the lays for example), our prices are higher and there are rarely local alternative options. Clearly Walmart no longer cares about American shoppers.
The ketchup should be in the seasoning area, along with the salt and sugar. There are some Chinese products that are of good quality and expensive, and there are also cheap and poor quality products. In the United States, I see a lot of low-quality products because importers choose cheap and low-quality products in order to sell out all their products quickly. This does not mean that the goods produced in China are poor.
8:43 that tag is not the price, but the discount info, it reads if you buy a bag of lays chips and another bag of other chips(i think it's on the left of the lays), you can get 5 yuan off
This video reminded me of when I was studying for my MBA degree. So much focus was on China! In our studies, we had to learn about Walmart in China. We learned about how the Chinese didn't like Walmart's approach and how they wanted live frogs and turtles. Then, I had to learn about how American farmers were selling animals to China...for instance Louisiana and Florida farmers were raising turtles to sell to China. Ironically, around this time, the @MyFWCVideos confiscated all of the softshell turtles being raised by one farmer. The case went to court and the farmer found to be 100% legal and licensed. When he went to get his inventory, he was originally told they released the turtles only to find out they improperly stored them and all the turtles died by the hand of the very government agency meant to protect them. Later, the courts told the man he could not seek legal repayment for his lost inventory. Now the FWC has a order in place banning the possession, sale, and harvesting of any turtle...effectively stopping all turtle farming in the State of Florida...causing billions of dollars in loss. Later, after I was about to get my degree, I had to take a final class letting me know all of the American universities were operating overseas, American students were barred from getting an education in these schools, the cost was a 10th of what I was paying, the international corporations like Lay's were paying for their overseas employees (on an executive trek) to get their degrees in these schools, and that my American MBA was pretty much now useless.
There used to be three levels of Walmart in China. But now it is being squeezed out by Chinese brand supermarkets and e-commerce. Now people use their phones to get things delivered to their doorsteps.
Importing things like Lays chips from US to China is about 1/2 the cost of shipping China to US. Basically a lot of empty containers move from US back to China looking for freight. Sea shipping cost per bag is about 1 to 5 cents.
Those single serving snacks actually look like it could be side dish ingredients for when you make instant noodles or just cook some plain rice at home, or if you're making instant noodles or just pack some plain rice with you on the go, and need some food ingredients to eat with it, so that you're not just eating noodles or rice with nothing in it. In Singapore, you can find some of these kinds of single serving foods in convenience stores like 7-Eleven, so you can make some instant cup noodles or bowl noodles, and maybe add an egg or a piece of chicken into it to complete your meal. So it's not snacks or confectionaries like chocolates, candy or cookies, but rather savoury side dishes.
This has been kinda fun! I feel like I’ve been on a shopping spree while I’m laying on my sofa trying to recuperate from a bad case of bronchitis! It’s taken me away from my misery for a bit and it’s been very interesting! Thx!
Walmart also has online sales channels/in WeChat, home near (0-5km or something?) a Walmart store can place an order online, soon after will be delivered to the my home for free, the price is the same, and sometimes there is a coupon online. So I usually don't go to Walmart, and I just can open my phone in home and buy the thing online in the Walmart.
Shanghai consumption is the highest in China. If you see the prices in other cities you will be shocked again. And almost all cities in China have equally good infrastructure and security.
the coconut with the straw, i bought that here in Canada at a Chinese supermarket in Pickering😊. They don't waste any part of the chicken and not only. Anything can be a snack 😮
watched Korea super market video today, come back to watch this video again, so cheap! minute16.24 apple price is 6Yuan/0.85USD per 500g, orange is 5Yuan/0/7USD per 500g. Normally we use 斤=500g in China for vegetable, meat, fruit
The cheese latte ,not a literal like cheddar cheese flavor it’s more like mascarpone cheese(the one they use to make tiramisu dessert) ,like thick sweet cream
12:19 for the fresh milk price, Walmart is way more expensive than other local markets even on the same brand, 1L milk usually take 7 to 13 rmb, milk above 14 rmb are usually higher level brands for higher price.
I just watched your video on a platform in China. First, welcome to China. Then I will explain it to you. Why is China's Wal-Mart supermarket so special, because we usually buy food, vegetables or meat, usually in the local market, Because the food there will be relatively fresh, and relatively cheaper than the supermarket, Wal-Mart inside the things are still expensive, There are also many supermarkets in Shanghai. Although you see a lot of people in Wal-Mart, most people still don't go there to buy things. As for the layout why so strange, because are in accordance with the Chinese living habits, like you say those coffee or ketchup and so on, We use less, so the area is relatively small, in China, there are many kinds of goods, such as meat, wine, The prices are different, so we usually buy things cheaper than the ones shown in the video
Consumers in North America think one day shipping is fast, In China is same day shipping and you usually get your merchandise 3-4 hours after you ordered it online. The west is so behind in e-commerce you have no idea !
I don't understand this thought because it is also just as quick in most typical cities in the US. If you are in a suburban area outside of a city, of course that would be different. I live in Atlanta and I can order groceries from any grocery store and have it delivered within 30 minutes. This is not anything new. Lol.
oh, and an add on.... Most any city also has same day delivery with most Amazon products as well. Usually, the longest you would ever wait for an Amazon order would be the next day, and that is only for certain products. If you order something at night, oftentimes products will have overnight delivery so that you have your order delivered before 8 or 9am.
@@TylerMosesUSA Looks like you haven't traveled much ! Can you get take out while on the subway two stations down to the train car you are sitting at ? The US is a 3rd world country stop being ignorant ! ...LoL
@@etow8034 I travel plenty. Traveled China more than most any of my Chinese friends. I lived in Guangdong for over 8 years, throughout South America for a couple of years. I have family in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and the US. The US is nowhere near a 3rd world country. 😂
Walmart in China 100x better than US. Walmart is everywhere in China. Local grocery or farm markets are even way way cheaper & fresher aince it is directly comes off the farm every day
The Shanghai "Whiskey" there is a locally brewed liquor maded from rice and wheat. The first 288RMB one is actually for the whole case which includes 6 bottles displayed on the shelf.
This was the best of the supermarket tours you’ve done because there were so many unusual products. It would have been interesting to see what those snacks were like.
@ndukasmith Well…yes. The point of comparison I have is the places I’ve gone to, mostly in the west although I’ve been in supermarkets in the far east as well so it’s not the first time I’m seeing squid as a snack for example. What I found amazing was vast variety and the single amounts in a lot of packaging. Then it was amazing to see the “do it yourself” loose noodles and chicken and pork. I thought was unusual and unsanitary just because people can’t be trusted to keep clean and treat things properly. And then that Walmart looked enormous compared to the ones I’ve been to.
@ndukasmithWhy so defensive. Unusual is not necessarily weird or negative. I myself love snacks variety from China and Taiwan, reason being it is so diverse and "unusual" from my place, so i love a supermarket tour like this just for chance of seeing others' snacking habits. Maybe you'd prefer the word "refreshing" but that's like policing one's tone, isn't it.
@@cp1236 What you think is unhygienic does not exist in front of Chinese cooking methods. Chinese people do not eat raw food and there is no way to eat it like steak, which is slightly cooked. People buy it and wash it clean before cooking it at high temperature
@@user-ic3qk5qx2d I already know about Chinese food handling and cooking habits and I don’t agree with them because they’re very unsanitary. It’s disgusting when people pick food up with their hands and hair and other body parts falling into the food. In all the butchers I’ve ever been to, it’s only the staff who handle the meat, they wear hats to prevent their hair falling into the meat, they wash their hands and wear gloves and they wear aprons to keep their clothes clean.
@@cp1236 Chinese people can also make chicken feet, pig trotters, pig intestines, and pig kidneys... You think making dirty things into earthly delicacies is not a blessing for you
I prefer to go to US supermarkets like Metro, Sam's and Costco in Shanghai, because the shopping experience is better than Chinese supermarkets or other traditional supermarkets like Walmart. The space is huge, the quality is also much better. The shopping carts are large enough to put 2 adults in.
Spicy and exotic flavors of Lay's potato chips are very common in parts of New York City that have Chinese-American communities. I had Spicy Duck Tongue and it was spicy but very nice. The only issue is that they are expensive. The small bags are as much as $2.50.
You really need to go visit an actual chinese wet market.... early in the morning.... huge varieties of fresh fruits and veggies... fruits and veggies you probably wont even recognize.... fresh meats and seafood.... the prices actually gets cheaper as the day goes on because they want to sell everything before the close up. everything is brought in that day... so if you go in late you can get some good deals. 😊
They've always been referred to as wet markets in english even before covid (I live in Hong Kong by the way).... and they pretty much are the same in every district, you got stalls selling fruits and veg, then you got some meat stalls, and fresh seafood stalls.... Not sure what you mean by stereotyping....
@@crimson0119 No, in mainland China, they are just famers' market or morning market or evening/night market. We know the nuances of some of the English words.
@@susan56566 Cool, nice to know. In Hong Kong (I'm Chinese by the way so I do know the nuances of chinese words) we don't refer to them as farmers market or day market, usually the english reference is wet market. I guess some people are sensitive to the term wet market since it has gotten such a bad connotation since covid, where western media has made wet market being synonymous with being dirty and unsanitary.
That’s crazy when they are paying less for food over there than we are in the United States for it’s a shame that we really can’t afford to live and feed our own family here! Thanks Biden!
Chinese are shopping over mobile app and delivery service. My elderly Mom orders fresh groceries and food twice a day they all be delivered in 20 minutes. It's good for people are over 80 years and live alone.
I live in California, although shopping grocery online is expensive here, I've been doing it for three years and rarely visit physical stores. It's just not worth it to spent 2 hours in a store every week when you can click a few buttons on your phone in 15 minutes.
Rice is 32 cents/lb in China, 50 cents/lb at Food City today in Phoenix. 22:54 Basically the same Slip On Athletic Shoes $14 in China are $14.98 today at Phoenix AZ Walmart. I hear Tubers say how cheap it is in other countries but I don't see it. Some things are a lot cheaper, like labor. But basic things like food and energy related are pretty much the same. It's pretty amazing that I can often buy bananas for the same or less in Phoenix than in SE Asia a mile from where they were grown. The transportation systems to the US are so good we get top quality at such a low cost. When I cross on foot to Mexico I see many Mexicans waiting to cross into or coming back from the US to shop for food in the Walmart on the US side. I hear Americans endlessly complain about the cost of food even though we we have it very good here.
For those that don't know. Yes, there's a fully black chicken, including its feathers. It's called a Ayam Cemani chicken. It's no different than any other chicken other then it's black. And I mean the entire body. That includes their eyes, beak and feet. And their feathers are so pretty. They are black, but they do have like an oil spill look to them. So when the sun shines on them you can see like hints of green and blue. It's so cool looking. I know because a friend has a few that we incubated for him.
WALMART IN CHINA ?? THATS CRAZY...BUT GOTTA LUV THOSE PRICES!! WALMART IN USA IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE BY THE DAY AND THEY ARE FULL OF WEIRDOS WONDERING AROUND AIMLESSLY..
If you haven't seen the Costco in Shanghai, you have to at least see the UA-cam video blog! It's crazy busy... Shanghai had the first Costco in China, and the popularity and demand was so big, Costco built the second warehouse in Shanghai. It was reported that Costco sold out their membership in less than a day! That's 80,000 memberships. People lined up the day before.
You can find a young Chinese person who can speak English as your guide in Shanghai, and your experience will be much better.😂😂😂😂 Hope you have fun in Shanghai
Walmart placements are according to sites plans. Basement, 1st, and 2nd floors. Chinese stores are extremely clean with wide walkways! During the holidays it gets crowded and you must have patience! Foods are great and tasty! Open foods allow simular niche to a wet market. Locals want everything to their own tastes. foods are fresher and plentiful from around the world! We use all types of markets since 2004! Snacks and candies boomed during 2006. Transparency Transparency seeing freshness. If a product is available and good it sells quickly. Clothes are a small area for the choosing... we get a lot through taobao , online marketing; 50 + boxes per month. When I married my wife in 2004 her clothes were 10 years old and looked new. We buy from Africa, Korea and other countries. Now I've reduced my belly size to pre usmc days and can buy new clothes this summertime. We both will have a shopping spree!! Walmart is unique and a lot of great items! Logistics would be interesting in any area to supply such amounts needed in China. Have fun ... as I've learned~20 years ago China demands open minds! Enjoy yourself!
As the review said, we usually some Department Store snacks, clothes and the like can be bought online, because online cheaper, and more variety, But some of the food you eat is still bought in the market, but usually at the local market or the local supermarket. Will not go to foreign large supermarket chains, because it is too expensive, like the price of meat has been changing, pork is about 15 yuan per 500g, Sometimes it's more expensive, sometimes it's cheaper.
Actually Walmart is offering plenty of coffee beans and bread also much more imported goods at their membership brand Sam‘s Club in Shanghai，it's kind of different marketing strategies.And membership supermarket like Sam’s Club and Costco is getting more and more popular in Shanghai these days.

Twenty years ago, these foreign chain supermarkets were very popular. Due to the shift of all shopping environments in China to the internet, traditional supermarkets have declined, and many supermarkets and malls have started to integrate comprehensive leisure. These foreign chain supermarkets have conservative thinking and lack innovation, so few people go there. If you want to visit a supermarket, it's best to go to a local large supermarket, they are even better!
I think these foreign chains have adopted to these changes now as they have tie ups with e-commerce platforms and Tencent-owned WeChat (mini program)

I believe that the models of these Chinese supermarkets and shopping malls have been explored through 20 years of internetization. After being fully internetized abroad, it is worth learning from.
I have been following your journey in China. As an American living here, you are just touching the outer fringes.

Indeed, people under the age of 50 in China basically don’t go to supermarkets anymore. The transaction volume of e-commerce platforms is more than a hundred times higher than that of supermarkets.

None of the western businesses in China are competitive enough, the only reason places like McDonald's and Starbucks can survive in China is because of it's novelty and bling appeal as place to be seen in.
@@etow8034 I feel like it’s more because Western fast food tastes different from Chinese fast food. Like take McDonald’s for an example. There’s no junk food item in China that will taste like a McDonald’s hamburger (except a McDonald’s hamburger). I feel like if they opened other junk food places like Taco Bell or Pizza Hut in China, it would be pretty successful (not sure if they already have those restaurants).
Last time that I visited China, McD and Starbucks were pretty crowded (especially Starbucks).

@@abcdefg-oj5wn McDonald's, Starbucks and KFC have huge menus in China that cater to the Chinese consumers and palates, the menus there are nothing like the limited menu we have here in North America or Europe. These western fast food chains are still novelty places to be seen in for China's middle class and if you take 69% of 1.4 billion that is a humongous middle class that have yet to try these fast food chains. Believe it or not the next big thing in China is "Red Gold" or aka tomato sauce/paste, China currently produces over 70% of the global tomato paste beating out the US and Italy by a long mile and this is not even beginning to include internal consumption which will grow by leaps and bounds the next two decades as China's youth grow up with western fast foods like pizzas, hot dogs and hamburgers that use tomato paste and ketchup !
@@juzhao Very few western businesses succeed in China because the Chinese ones will always be an improvement and cost less. Stores like Walmart, Costco and Ikea are simply just novelty to Chinese consumers and once they visited they will never return !

Chinese supermarkets are usually set up in this way where the groceries are right before the cashiers, because people usually visit supermarket for groceries, and if they put groceries at the entrance, people are more likely to get their groceries and skip everything else.
You're genius to find it out!
That sign in the Lay's chips section means buy 2 bags and get 5 Yuan off, not 2bags for 5 yuan unfortunately mate :(
I’ve been to Walmart in the US, Canada, and Mexico. I’m amazed that English is used on a lot of the products etc in China. In Mexico English was rarely used on products. It was used on the aisle signs with Spanish in Walmart.

1 That's not beef, it's pork
2 All of the fruits price are per 500g
In Chinese supermarkets, it's common for prices to be calculated based on weight, with 500 grams as the standard unit. So, the prices you see on the labels of apples and oranges in the video are calculated per 500 grams.
500 grams in China call ‘’yi jin ( 一 斤）‘’
Walmart is still expensive, we all buy online, such as the 6 cans of Coke, Sprite only cost 9.9 yuan, as long as the purchase of 39 yuan, free delivery within 30 minutes.😂
these overseas big chain groceries are not popular in china anymore, i remember that 25 years ago when Carrefour and METRO AG from france and Germany just entered china in 1998 , they were so popular , i almost did all my shopping in these groceries including even some of my clothing , they were always packed, i even remembered a french guy was helping refill the shelf there because it was too busy, they say he was the manager of the store, then around 5 years ago, I heard Carrefour were all closed in my city, and METOR AG quit my city more than 15 years ago .

That's one 斤, the most commonly used Chinese weight unit. 1000 grams is 公斤.
I am a bit jealous as an American. We do not have that type of selection (look at the lays for example), our prices are higher and there are rarely local alternative options. Clearly Walmart no longer cares about American shoppers.

The ketchup should be in the seasoning area, along with the salt and sugar. There are some Chinese products that are of good quality and expensive, and there are also cheap and poor quality products. In the United States, I see a lot of low-quality products because importers choose cheap and low-quality products in order to sell out all their products quickly. This does not mean that the goods produced in China are poor.
yes
true！
8:43 that tag is not the price, but the discount info, it reads if you buy a bag of lays chips and another bag of other chips(i think it's on the left of the lays), you can get 5 yuan off
In China, goods that need to be weighed are priced per 500g. 500g = 1jin or 斤，it's the most common unit of weight in China.
This video reminded me of when I was studying for my MBA degree. So much focus was on China! In our studies, we had to learn about Walmart in China. We learned about how the Chinese didn't like Walmart's approach and how they wanted live frogs and turtles. Then, I had to learn about how American farmers were selling animals to China...for instance Louisiana and Florida farmers were raising turtles to sell to China. Ironically, around this time, the @MyFWCVideos confiscated all of the softshell turtles being raised by one farmer. The case went to court and the farmer found to be 100% legal and licensed. When he went to get his inventory, he was originally told they released the turtles only to find out they improperly stored them and all the turtles died by the hand of the very government agency meant to protect them. Later, the courts told the man he could not seek legal repayment for his lost inventory. Now the FWC has a order in place banning the possession, sale, and harvesting of any turtle...effectively stopping all turtle farming in the State of Florida...causing billions of dollars in loss. Later, after I was about to get my degree, I had to take a final class letting me know all of the American universities were operating overseas, American students were barred from getting an education in these schools, the cost was a 10th of what I was paying, the international corporations like Lay's were paying for their overseas employees (on an executive trek) to get their degrees in these schools, and that my American MBA was pretty much now useless.
We chinese like Fresh foods 😂
There used to be three levels of Walmart in China. But now it is being squeezed out by Chinese brand supermarkets and e-commerce. Now people use their phones to get things delivered to their doorsteps.
I love this couple. They are so kind, open, friendly, understanding and cute !!!!
You keep saying Won, that's Korean. Chinese currency is RMB, or Yuan.
Meanwhile, back in the states a big bag of Lay's is like five bucks....insane.
Importing things like Lays chips from US to China is about 1/2 the cost of shipping China to US. Basically a lot of empty containers move from US back to China looking for freight. Sea shipping cost per bag is about 1 to 5 cents.
Those single serving snacks actually look like it could be side dish ingredients for when you make instant noodles or just cook some plain rice at home, or if you're making instant noodles or just pack some plain rice with you on the go, and need some food ingredients to eat with it, so that you're not just eating noodles or rice with nothing in it. In Singapore, you can find some of these kinds of single serving foods in convenience stores like 7-Eleven, so you can make some instant cup noodles or bowl noodles, and maybe add an egg or a piece of chicken into it to complete your meal. So it's not snacks or confectionaries like chocolates, candy or cookies, but rather savoury side dishes.

Walmart also has online sales channels/in WeChat, home near (0-5km or something?) a Walmart store can place an order online, soon after will be delivered to the my home for free, the price is the same, and sometimes there is a coupon online.

经过我对视频的研究和街景比对, 这是在上海徐汇区桂林路的一家沃尔玛, 周边有很多小吃, 和一个小购物广场, 边上是桂林公园和12号线15号线地铁. 沃尔玛1楼是休闲区,有tims咖啡 小食店和面馆,餐馆, 视频里他们直接扶梯去了沃尔玛2楼和3楼, 3楼靠近结账区域才有水果和生鲜, 是因为沃尔玛太大了, 如果一开始就买生鲜食物,等人逛完去结账, 手里拿的生鲜可能就不新鲜了.所以2楼先是工业产品生活产品, 等你逛到3楼才是生鲜产品 , 肉,鱼,蛋,奶, 面包, 海鲜, 然后结账,从3楼扶梯去1楼休闲区,再离开.很合理的设计.

watched Korea super market video today, come back to watch this video again, so cheap! minute16.24 apple price is 6Yuan/0.85USD per 500g, orange is 5Yuan/0/7USD per 500g. Normally we use 斤=500g in China for vegetable, meat, fruit
The cheese latte ,not a literal like cheddar cheese flavor it’s more like mascarpone cheese(the one they use to make tiramisu dessert) ,like thick sweet cream
We even have it here in every bubble tea shop here in US but not In Starbucks cheese flavor latte ( more like sweet thick cream latte)
12:19 for the fresh milk price, Walmart is way more expensive than other local markets even on the same brand, 1L milk usually take 7 to 13 rmb, milk above 14 rmb are usually higher level brands for higher price.
I just watched your video on a platform in China. First, welcome to China. Then I will explain it to you. Why is China's Wal-Mart supermarket so special, because we usually buy food, vegetables or meat, usually in the local market, Because the food there will be relatively fresh, and relatively cheaper than the supermarket, Wal-Mart inside the things are still expensive, There are also many supermarkets in Shanghai. Although you see a lot of people in Wal-Mart, most people still don't go there to buy things. As for the layout why so strange, because are in accordance with the Chinese living habits, like you say those coffee or ketchup and so on, We use less, so the area is relatively small, in China, there are many kinds of goods, such as meat, wine, The prices are different, so we usually buy things cheaper than the ones shown in the video
In another city in China I saw two large Walmarts across the street from each other! Have lots of fun in HK!

Consumers in North America think one day shipping is fast, In China is same day shipping and you usually get your merchandise 3-4 hours after you ordered it online. The west is so behind in e-commerce you have no idea !

I don't understand this thought because it is also just as quick in most typical cities in the US. If you are in a suburban area outside of a city, of course that would be different. I live in Atlanta and I can order groceries from any grocery store and have it delivered within 30 minutes. This is not anything new. Lol.
oh, and an add on.... Most any city also has same day delivery with most Amazon products as well. Usually, the longest you would ever wait for an Amazon order would be the next day, and that is only for certain products. If you order something at night, oftentimes products will have overnight delivery so that you have your order delivered before 8 or 9am.

This was the best of the supermarket tours you’ve done because there were so many unusual products. It would have been interesting to see what those snacks were like.
@ndukasmith Well…yes. The point of comparison I have is the places I’ve gone to, mostly in the west although I’ve been in supermarkets in the far east as well so it’s not the first time I’m seeing squid as a snack for example. What I found amazing was vast variety and the single amounts in a lot of packaging. Then it was amazing to see the “do it yourself” loose noodles and chicken and pork. I thought was unusual and unsanitary just because people can’t be trusted to keep clean and treat things properly. And then that Walmart looked enormous compared to the ones I’ve been to.
@ndukasmithWhy so defensive. Unusual is not necessarily weird or negative. I myself love snacks variety from China and Taiwan, reason being it is so diverse and "unusual" from my place, so i love a supermarket tour like this just for chance of seeing others' snacking habits. Maybe you'd prefer the word "refreshing" but that's like policing one's tone, isn't it.

It's pretty amazing that I can often buy bananas for the same or less in Phoenix than in SE Asia a mile from where they were grown. The transportation systems to the US are so good we get top quality at such a low cost. When I cross on foot to Mexico I see many Mexicans waiting to cross into or coming back from the US to shop for food in the Walmart on the US side.

If you haven't seen the Costco in Shanghai, you have to at least see the UA-cam video blog! It's crazy busy...
Shanghai had the first Costco in China, and the popularity and demand was so big, Costco built the second warehouse in Shanghai.
It was reported that Costco sold out their membership in less than a day!
That's 80,000 memberships. People lined up the day before.
Price in Walmart is more expensive than local market
没有吧，我家隔壁就有一家沃尔玛，价格基本要比别的超市便宜
@@juzhao 我没有说清楚，我的意思是比农贸市场贵。
还是网上买便宜又快哈哈

Most people in China don't make coffee at home. The 5 yuan sign in the potato chips section is: buy two get 5 yuan off.
You can find a young Chinese person who can speak English as your guide in Shanghai, and your experience will be much better.😂😂😂😂
Hope you have fun in Shanghai

Walmart placements are according to sites plans. Basement, 1st, and 2nd floors.
Chinese stores are extremely clean with wide walkways! During the holidays it gets crowded and you must have patience!
Foods are great and tasty!
Open foods allow simular niche to a wet market. Locals want everything to their own tastes.
foods are fresher and plentiful from around the world!
We use all types of markets since 2004!
Snacks and candies boomed during 2006.
Transparency Transparency seeing freshness.
If a product is available and good it sells quickly.
Clothes are a small area for the choosing... we get a lot through taobao , online marketing; 50 + boxes per month.
When I married my wife in 2004 her clothes were 10 years old and looked new.
We buy from Africa, Korea and other countries. Now I've reduced my belly size to pre usmc days and can buy new clothes this summertime. We both will have a shopping spree!!
Walmart is unique and a lot of great items!
Logistics would be interesting in any area to supply such amounts needed in China.
Have fun ... as I've learned~20 years ago China demands open minds!
Enjoy yourself!
As the review said, we usually some Department Store snacks, clothes and the like can be bought online, because online cheaper, and more variety, But some of the food you eat is still bought in the market, but usually at the local market or the local supermarket. Will not go to foreign large supermarket chains, because it is too expensive, like the price of meat has been changing, pork is about 15 yuan per 500g, Sometimes it's more expensive, sometimes it's cheaper.
8:43 The sign shows that you can get a 5 yuan cut-off for 2 bags.
16:00 sweet potato noodles actually
The Walmart brand for clothes in America is "By George" not just "George"
Actually Walmart is offering plenty of coffee beans and bread also much more imported goods at their membership brand Sam‘s Club in Shanghai，it's kind of different marketing strategies.And membership supermarket like Sam’s Club and Costco is getting more and more popular in Shanghai these days.
On 8:40, the Chinese actually means " 5 Chinese Yuan off when you buy 2" .
