Im 99.9% sure that you dont get taxed at all for things like bread, garlic, tomotoes, and ground beef. You only get taxed on non essentialls like chocolate, chips, pop, and cookies. Either way, prices in canada are riciculous. Not quite sure how an immigrant can afford to live here let alone a long time citizen.

[RealG-jq]

There is no tax on "natural foods" in Canada, like fruits or veggies, milk, only on "processed foods" like fresh squeezed juice or chocolate milk 😉

[seppokarjalainen]

Milk was sold in bags in Finland between 1967-1975.

[Busybeeee]

You are wrong. There is no 13% tax on food except if you’re buying chips, donuts pop, candy and junk food . No tax on bread, rice, meat, fruits and vegetables are dry goods at all. I am in Ottawa and so many people are boycotting Loblaws, superstore in your independent grocers due to the increase in prices. Most Canadians are now shopping at FreshCo, Food basics, and the Dollarama believe it or not. Toronto has become unaffordable.

9:10 Agreed about Lays Ketchup, but the best ever made were the Lays Barbecue Old Fashioned (sweet bbq) Discontinued I think 😭

[BeyfighterFaris]

oh wow! Congrats on the pregnancy guys!!! ❤❤❤

[firstlast-ptpp]

@8:45 - "ketchup" was originally a sauce from southeast Asia - "ketchup" sounds like Hokkien for a type of sauce ( southern Fujian dialect )

huge lover of relish from Tampere here. we really have lots of different relish in Finland. it's just not in the same aisle with ketchup and mustard. in supermarkets and hypermarkets it's usually in the same aisle with all the canned food like tuna and stuff like that.

"a milk holder, almost like a vase with a handle on it" -- We call it a pitcher.

[johansselgonzalezcid]

Clamato is a Mexican drink made of tomatoes. It is used to mix and create other drinks like Micheladas.

[pamelakilponen]

We have relish here in Finland, both the Finnish style and American style. I am surprised you did not notice at the sports events with the hot dog stands. Also our rye bread is sourdough rye and that rye was multi grain so that is why not as dark. We have extra dark rye bread too.

[tjmctube]

Old Dutch potato chips! I didn't know those were still around. Those were pretty much the go-to (not many other choices) back in the day growing up in northern Minnesota.

[jkinnear]

You don't pay tax for fruits and vegetables in Canada

[a.n.]

7:46 we had milk in bags in Bulgaria during communism and the first few years after that. It was horrendous smell in that aisle as almost always there was a broken one leaking and gone bad by the time they find it and cleanup. SO the smell was somewhat persistent in that area of the supermarket as a whole.

[BeyfighterFaris]

That Clamato sounds like a good ingredient for seafood pasta. Btw, you guys gotta start budgeting for diapers as well 😂

3:00 Natural food? - It means "they spray at night"!

[dzonikg]

I eat totaly same noodule with same flavor here in SErbia, i eat only that one (i add some fresh tomato, mayones and yogurt ).
HEre in my local store Trnava Promet that 5 pack cost 150 dinars or 1.38 USD so more then half then in Canada. But in IDea or Maxi they are more expensive like 200-220 din.
Edit : I also notice eggs are much more expensive :5.68 $ for 18 pack that is 615 dinar for 18, i just buyed yesterday 10 pack for 100 dinars, so you could buy 60 here for same price.
But there are stuff that are same price, like milk

[wizardsuth]

Ketchup also comes in 2.5 L bottles, and I've seen them marketed as twin packs.

[sildan]

You always have to compare the food prices with the wages. They go hand in hand.

Sorry But Old Dutch Ketchup 🍅 chips take the first place for me and they used to come packed in a box like cerial.
