Vlog#7: Grocery in France | Student Life | Lille, France | Halal Food

Hello everyone I am back with another Vlog after a very long time and today I’m going for grocery so I just wanted to share the experience as a student doing grocery in France so let’s go the last few months have been very busy and tiing and stressful for me so I

Wasn’t able to make some Vlogs but yeah I’m back and I will be sharing some few more in the coming few days as well so it’s 28th of December and I’m in Le my classes are officially over and now I’m just here for a few more weeks until I get my

Residence permit so today I’m going to this mall uh there’s a store called uh LF so I will be doing some groceries and then I will be sharing my experience last last few months have been very tiring and amazing in a different way I did a lot of new things

I did uh travel to different countries and I will be sharing more of them in the upcoming videos but today I’m here to this mall called linium and I’m going to a grocery store in France there are a lot of grocery stores and the most common one

Is car for which is even in different countries all over the world and but I’m going to L because of their uh different offers and I just like the store and the thing in France is you can easily get Halal chicken meat any kind of uh meat you want uh obviously not

Pork uh that would be uh Halal and that’s because there’s a overwhelming uh population of Arabs especially in this northern region of France so it’s easy you can get even restaurants with Halal The Dominoes next to my residence is uh serves halal uh food so yeah it’s uh very convenient

And easy if you are looking for LW options I kind of regret not making a lot of videos of me going to University and attending the classes uh cuz it’s not easy to make Vlogs all the time and it’s also very diring so I kind of regret but nevertheless I still made a

Lot of spent and in the future I will aim to make more so this is the store which I was talking about it uh L and it’s a nice big store with everything you want here I am and I always start with the vegetables and fruit section so let’s go

There I usually don’t buy a lot of things because in the start I used to buy a lot of things and most of them used to get wasted so I just get the essential and bare minimum stuff so it doesn’t get wasted because uh it’s not

Easy to eat everything all the time so I will get some bananas some bell peppers as well because I like to add them in pastas green chilies are not read available in France I don’t know why but the store have it and I really like adding them in my omelet and sometimes

In my food as well so this is something I really like so I will be getting some of these the rest things I don’t think I will use so I won’t be buying anything else from here we get the stuff and we and we add it here just like any other

Supermarket New Year they have these special uh I don’t know what you would call some special packages for gri fruit so it’s nice of them to make some New Year stuff this is Sushi and stuff I don’t need them this is refrigerated vegetables not of my interest more seafood

Seafood but this is the Halal section which I was talking about you can see Halal on the top and all this entire section is for halal food and then that is different which is non Halal but yeah I can get something from here so this is promotion area and just like these

Sausages it says Halal yeah and I use them for pasta and um uh omelette so yeah I will get these then I need some chicken breast which I can maybe get it from this side so yeah uh this is too much for me I couldn’t find any better so this is it

This is 1 kg of breast pieces and it’s probably for 925 in France there are a lot of Turkish people as well and they have this iron thing which is just like leie uh in Pakistan or India and this is really like good uh it’s like milk

Yogurt milk and it’s called ly in m but turkey it’s iron so yeah I will get some of these just to test and it’s for 70 um cents I’m done with the meat section and now I will be going to the Breads and see what I need

So these are the traditional bagets uh and like a lot of locals like to have them and the sandwiches even in France are made on these breads uh baguettes and it’s very common and there’s different types of them some are hard some are soft and it depends on the

Bakery uh which is called Blondy here and you can enjoy one of these if you really like them but I’m not a big fan of them uh cuz sometimes they are too hard but if it’s made really well and warm then it can be really nice as well

Another thing I really like here is p o choca and it’s like a kind of a croome with chocolate filling but it’s not gross on it’s pretty different but yeah it’s one of my favorite these ones I I like are these because these are easy to

Like eat cuz all of them are separately packed so even if you open the hole you can still enjoy each of each of them fresh so I like these ones but the one there are fresh and but if you open the box then all of them will get you know

Dry in no in just couple of days so this one is is more suitable for me so I need this some buns cuz I already have some patties at home so I just want to use them and this one looks pretty nice and there are four of them so yeah I can get

These time to get some eggs and milk so the more eggs you buy the better price you get so I will be buying some eggs from the section so these are 20 eggs for $529 which is much cheaper if you buy 6 or 12 so yeah for egg it’s cheaper so

Yeah we got to save a bit with the bulk buying section is for milk and I would just buy one of them cuz I just use it for coffee and nothing else so yeah it’s not worth buying a lot of them done with my checklist but I will just see if I

Need something else maybe some snacks I used to buy these yogurts in the start but I stopped buying them cuz they are kind of expensive but I can maybe have them since I am leaving soon so yeah just before going I can have some more this is the darkg food section this

Is alcohol section I need to buy something related to cleaning let me find I want a lint remover uh the fire which comes on your uh floating after a wash or maybe just wearing them so I just need I ran out out of mine so I’m searching that for

Now this is the thing which I wanted but I already have the holder I just need the refill so I will buy these and I also bought uh this to clean it’s also a refill kind of thing I will just add it on my broomstick and use it

For cleaning the floor so yeah now I’m done but I will just go through some other sections just in case I need something this is the candy section which I don’t think I will buy anything today but I also have rice pasta and tomato and everything else oil

And stuff so I don’t need anything else for today but yes it was fun sharing with all of you I don’t need anything from this section they have all the masalas and everything one could need these are the sauces and different type of things which you can add in their pasta and

Food this is pesto pasta here to check out and I will just join a line and get done with it here in France you don’t get the shopping bag for for free you have to buy a big one like the one you can see in this trolley so I have mine

In my backpack so everyone brings it from their homes they buy it once and then reuse it every time and which is a very great initiative and should be followed everywhere now I’m done with my grocery and I must say it’s not easy to film in

A grocery store but I still did it and it was a new experience for me I hope you enjoyed the video and I will see you some other day in some other video thank you guys

Grocery is an essential part of student life in any European Country and France is one of the most expensive countries in the EU Region especially compared to Eastern and Central European Countries.

This video is made for all those who are coming to France for studies, that’s how it is to be in France. I must say it is not CHEAP at all.
