Svetlana, I always enjoy your "grocery store" tours. I do understand that Russian wages are so much lower than those in the West. However, if I were able to travel right now to Saint Petersburg and exchange my U.S. $ for rubles I would be buying quite a lot of the smoked salmon, marinated seafood and even some "kielbasa". The prices compared to what we pay in the States are extraordinarily much lower. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding week.

We have a thing they call 'shrinkflation' here in the US. Sometimes the maker doesn't increase the price of the package, they just put less product in. A package of cookies I purchase once per week was US$1.00 before the virus, now the same package is US$1.75. Some bread rolls I buy was US$1.00 before, now US$1.25. 32oz bag of whole bean coffee was US$14.95, now is US$19.75.

I have to say if I was living in Russia at this time and converting US dollars to Rubles, I could live like a King!!!! 😊

Pricing is similar in the USA I think a lie better prices in Russia.

The true difference is based on your salary/income and how much money you bring home versus how much you have to pay for food, gas, rent etc.

I like to look at it as a percentage of income to determine the real cost or the true prices based on what percentage we pay. So if you normally pay 10% of your salary for necessary items and suddenly now it’s 20% of your salary then that’s a real problem.

I do like the fact that even with sanctions that the government is trying to place on other countries/governments that the people become very resourceful, and still have the things they need to survive. Hopefully this will all resolve soon.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video with all the interesting pricing facts.

With or without..."sanctions" we are ALL in the same boat, when it comes to prices out of control, and unjustified increases the world over, especially when it comes to groceries and other basic staples with prices artificially blown way out of anything remotely resembling normality...Thank you Svetlana for this brief look on how Russia is impacted and affected by it all, in the real world...

[johnthomas]

Thank you very much for all the prices you mentioned & showed to your viewers, I appreciate what you showed us all.

[gentlemane]

Thanks for the video. It was very informative. Just in time as I should be arriving in Moscow in a few weeks time.

[danielspoerle]

Some of the prices are about the same as here in Texas. Some are higher there. The whole world is feeling the pain. Prayers to everyone struggling with this financial mess.

We pay $10- Cdn for a flat of 30 eggs here, so even if the price goes up a lill, it's still much cheaper in Russia. Thanks for the update Svetlana..

[michaelstock]

Prices seem cheap to an outsider but what locals can afford is a different matter. Great video. Can you compare restaurant menus for dining out prices? You don't have to eat there just show the prices.

We have high inflation here too in the USA . Oil and gas has doubled in the last year making our electricity prices very high. My electric bill was almost double from the same time last year. Petrol here is very high. Groceries for me are up by 30% to 50% in the last 18 months.

[randompizza]

Compared with Canada some things are much cheaper, while other things are about the same. I think you are right that there will be massive price increases coming.

Thank you Svetlana for your very informative video; that package of Salami is about the same size as what I bought at Aldi here in the States which is about .45 kilograms. The price was 6.59. Over 6 thousand Rubles. It's incredible that it would have cost me 70 cents! Your Coffee low end brand is even cheaper. The average cost for Coffee here is about 6 dollars for even lower end brands. But I have noticed there are just some things I can't get anymore.

You look lovely with your hair returning to its natural blonde: Hair Goddess! ❤ Its always a pleasure to hear from you.
I understand that there was likely some inventory and retailers are not automatically pushing up prices but are selling fairly based on what the inventory costs were. That is surprisingly honest of them. I'd like to see prices after the currency devaluation has been factored in. Maybe comparing the same items in a month or two?
