Full Supermarket Tour in Georgia (expensive?) 🇬🇪
All right full tour of Georgian Supermarket let’s check it out oh and so I guess it’s actually half a story below us we got like a viewing balcony here when we walk in looks good that’s cool and
Naturally we start off at the fruit and veggie section and so first things first a lot of the signs in the fruit and veggie section are quite nice they’ve got English on them which is helpful
As well as the country of origin which is kind of fun to look at and the prices are pretty good and I guess just beside the fruit and veggie section is the bakery here even with some ketchup
Poy which we know is like cheese pizza but better fresh made ketchup puty too handmade here in the grocery store and yeah I tell you what the prices for fruit and veg are surprisingly good because we’ve been buying our fruit and veg at little roadside shops like an old lady with a bunch
Of baskets which have been really affordable but even in the supermarket comparable my assumption was it would be more expensive here but we see some good good value in uh fruit and veg in the supermarket not bad at all and wow check it out even uh handmade and homemade pizza station
Right here in the grocery store just nice and some sandwiches too not bad at all almost like a little Deli and bakery in the front just nice and wow look at this now this is almost like a tanduri
Sort of reminiscent to us but this is a uniquely Georgian thing I believe where they make Georgian bread inside it’s sort of like a tandur but bigger and concrete I guess we’ve seen it at some
Bakeries in the streets and they make good bread in here oh they like their bread look at how many selection you’re you’re right about that uh tons of selections typically we show the cheapest loaf but it seems like Georgian people are not eating cheap sliced bread they’re eating a full loaf of
Proper bread yes ex and some good prices for bread man wow this is a nice sort of loaf of bread here for 135 lri yeah put it in the basket man don’t be shy some goodl looking bread can you believe the
American sandwich bread is so much more expensive than a fresh one no one’s buying American Sandwich when the fresh bread is less than half the price I know it tastes better it tastes better I tell you what I am impressed by the Georgian Supermarket tons of different stalls here and people selling
Things and lots of people working selling entire chickens or bread or anything in between and if you guys can hear the music in the background it’s almost like a vlog music there’s no lyrics and it’s just kind of a simple beat I could imagine myself editing to this song so it’s sort
Of uh it’s sort of nice I want to buy everything same now in terms of beef and pork both sections look really beautiful and the prices are actually pretty good and if you can believe it right beside
The beef and pork has a huge Sushi section with a bunch of prepared sushi rolls very similar to what we saw in Japan actually maybe not as fresh or not as you know Japanese quality of sushi but
Still it’s uh fresh may even some eel over here in the Georgian Supermarket that was unexpected and of course the sausage section is massive 1 2 3 four Bays even five Bays all sausage I don’t even
Know where to start maybe I’ll try to find one of the cheaper ones it looks like uh four lari for 250 g and of course that comes in many different options so you have to know which one’s which and
You can get some more expensive ones that are probably really delicious to be honest uh we’ve had a good experience so far with Georgian sausage and typically the Georgian sausage very salty which I love now let’s check for the cheapest uh pack of eggs we tend to show that
In our Supermarket tours for comparison and so I guess it’s these eggs here 5 and 1 12 lari for a 10 pack which is pretty good price overall now one thing I’ve noticed about Georgia they seem to like
Their 100% juice stuff like this is really really common 100% PTO and you can see this one actually has some sediments in the bottom it’s like it’s separated you know uh they tend to drink real
Juice not not like uh sweet sugary drinks that’s my right fake stuff with that being said we have found the Coca-Cola and Pepsi so let’s check out that which is right beside the chip section and
So Pepsi and Coke are the same price I’m a bit disappointed I was hoping to find a cat can with the Georgian font on it or the Georgian alphabet so I could give it to my dad for his collection
But it’s the same can we have in Canada with the Georgian one oh there is that one which is a green can and has some Georgian beneath it maybe we’ll pick one of those up for my dad my dad’s got a
Pretty epic cat collection and we recently got him a Chinese can that has Chinese characters on it sort of nice now in terms of the beer section they do have some smaller bottles for about four lry or
The bigger ones for 4 and 1/2 so good value on the bigger one although I’m sure there’s going to be a bigger beer session that’s not in the fridge because the Georgian beer I’ve been drinking
Is called Argo so maybe we’ll hold off and we’ll look for the bigger beer section maybe on shelves and so the chip section is really small it’s like one half of one aisle and there are no unique or
Interesting lays flavors to report so it seems like Georgian people don’t eat too many potato chips or even processed food in general although it seems like they like drinking alcohol because this entire row is beer and the one behind and the one behind is all alcohol so let’s look for
Maybe some local Georgian beer and what it costs here is Argo quite good beer in my opinion it’s three lari on sale right now for 500 Ms it’s a pretty good price overall for beer also Herzog I
Think this one might actually be German but I’ve had this before in a restaurant also good beer and they have seemingly every selection Under the Sun and of course the huge uh what is that 2 and 1/2 lit bottles for 14 lry so it seems like Georgian people leg drinking alcohol it’s readily
Available in the grocery store oh oh oh I stand corrected the chip section has multiplied and it’s huge so they do have their own local brand I guess I’ve never seen this before it’s called
Caucuses chips Fricks uh four lari for 145 G fair and they do have a huge lay section let’s look for some unique laay flavors nothing really that uh that different we’ve seen this before this is
Like a it looks like pepper pepper and pepper corn yeah pepper corns and of course the paprika flavor we’ve seen before which is quite yummy but nothing too unique maybe this one is uh like a meat sort
Of flavor but I do stand corrected I thought the chip section was quite small they’ve got a full row of chips over here I think maybe every country in the world likes eating chips and so we’ve heard
That Georgia is the country that’s been making wine longer than any other country and so I would guess they like their wine and maybe this is the evidence I’ve never seen this much wine in
A plastic jug this is like the size of a jug you’d buy of water if you’re going camping and they got it full of wine wow almost look like oil you look like oil can I help you on okay just looking thank
You than you thank you and so just like that we are into the tea and coffee section which I guess is 50/50 this this side of the aisle is tea and that side is coffee so it’s a 50/50 split and I
Really don’t know why but it seems like georgean people love their instant coffee from the end of the aisle to like more than half like 2/3 of the coffee section is instant coffee which for me is like substantially worse than regular coffee but they seem to love it it’s everywhere now in terms
Of carbs it seems like Georgia is a bread country although they definitely have rice available and huge bags of pasta I mean the affordability is incredible I almost can’t believe my eyes this
Seems to be a 5 kilo bag of fusili and for 5 kilos it cost you 10 and a half lry doesn’t even make sense the affordability it’s like that PR good it’s blowing my mind um in Canada
You spend a lot more than that just on one box of spaghetti like this is unbelievable and sort of a similar story with rice this is a 5 kilo bag of long grain rice nice and heavy and Kia 14 lri I
Tell you what Georgia is an interesting country because if you look at the human development index it’s very high it’s uh like very developed in terms of education and Healthcare and yet the accommodation we’re staying in so affordable and food is quite affordable so it’s got good value in
Georgia now this stuff here Ivon and I have been buying it’s called Art food I guess it’s a l and it’s so good I would call it like Ivar kind of like Ivar something like Ivar it’s eggplant and
Peppers and tomatoes and carrots and it’s just like a delicious veggie paste that feels very healthy and real not processed no the ingredients in Georgia seem good overall I think so yeah good quality and fresh and not just covered in salt and and it’s just like a good good quality food
Yes it’s not overprocessed right and so next up we can do the oil section where it’s mostly in fact almost entirely sunflower oil of varying prices and some of it quite affordable I mean 4.29 lri
For one liter it’s good price for pretty good oil and I feel like sunflower oil is better quality than canola I guess so we tend to use canola in Canada but I feel like it’s better for sunflower
And one thing you’ll notice about Georgia which I kind of love they use a lot of glass bottles so even the ketchup I mean five lari for a nice glass bottle of ketchup it just feels better than even
More expensive for the plastic bottle a sorry uh sort of nice to have a glass bottle in your hand and let’s check the mustard section not bad we’ve got some helmond which is a prepared sort of mustard eight Larry and even some good ones up here spreadable glass jar mustard and even some
Mustard that looks like baby food know with the top on it you can slurp it oh and I guess ketchup was in a glass bottle but mayonnaise is in a bag or in a packet at the very least okay not bad and
Pretty good price 3 and half L and I guess Georgia is a carton of milk country not a bag or not a bottle and it looks like it’s about four lari for a liter which again is a fair price oh and check
It out this is the cheese section or at least part of it so far in our experience Georgia has some really really good cheese for me the best ones are the saltier the better and the prices
Here are are pretty good usually how do you tell how salty it is I have no idea just by looking at it hard to say but it is looking like it’s fresh made there’s people chopping it and
Kind of preparing it so in true Georgian fashion it seems like it’s farm fresh or not processed at the least this one incredible price I mean try it but it might be no flavor but try it I
Mean is it cheese I think so oh yeah it’s cheese okay well you press it now we have to now we got to buy it just squeeze it but it’s so affordable it’s almost like it’s something else let’s try it
Oh this one looks good right you can see that sort of flavor right in it oh that one’s got some bite to it I bet you now this is something that is at least for me uniquely Georgian this
Is Walnut paste yes with some sort of fruit right uh I think fages oh veggies beets or spinach to make it colored yeah uh stay tuned for a video where we try one from a restaurant something something unique there’s actually more than a few unique Georgian food with walnuts right we
Can try some stay tuned for that all right final review of Georgian Supermarket first of all they played a dirty trick on us and we fell for it when you walk in the front door you go right through the bakery section with the ketchup POI smells in the air and people
Making garlic bread and it makes you hungry and it makes you buy more things so we bought a lot especially cheese and bread because uh really good prices on cheese and bread oh the price is so good too much information but I’m not going to go to the bathroom for 10 days
Over here cheese and bread all day in Georgia all right thanks for watching Everybody later

Great bargains. I am heading to Azerbaijan in April, close to Georgia, and just got my visa approval for Pakistan in September. One day I will be able to travel like you guys, 😄 keep it up 🇮🇪🇨🇦
U shld drink greogian organic wines. yummy
Prices are almost like in Serbia ❤
Love the tour, as usual! What fun! I love visiting foreign supermarket and markets anywhere. 😁 Thank you!!! Love you two together! 🤗
Carrefour is the Walmart of much of the world. We have two here in Yaounde, Cameroon, central Africa, and they are fantastic!
Food looks amazing and I like the price
Food looks delicious!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Interesting.
#Jetfam. Which cheese did you like better? One was more expensive?
French supermarket in Georgia
I used to visit this Carrefour almost every day when I lived in Georgia for a year. Everything still looks same.
That food looks delicious ❤🎉
The beef looks fresh and so appealing! Not sure if I want to eat sushi in Georgia 😄 not expected at all!
Average salary in Georgia is 671$US per month
Travelled to Batumi, Kutaisi & Tbilisi last year. Fantastic place 👍
Food prices are about half what they are on the West coast of the US. 50 cents for a full loaf of fresh bakery bread.
Other than bananas, the other prices are very good 👍
has anyone ever said..your so bald i can see what you are thinking…hahaha…im just bsn…keep up the good vids and info
That supermarket looks realy good and the prices are good for western salaries. I am curious how do the locals find the prices.
General food prices are really cheap
It seems Georgia is not in the same bracket as many EU countries which are suffering from high inflation and strikes .
Thank you for the tour.
Georgia has a population of less than 5 mio while occupying an area of about 70k sq km. So they can have large farmlands that can grow many agricultural products. I guess Georgians are more than sufficiently fed.
Similar prices as in Romania, or even higher, except those 5kg rice and pasta, they are really cheap. I expected some lower prices though.
I really wish you guys come to India just to try foods in here nothing else, every state in India has at least 20+ foods of its own, with each state having a different cuisine.
