- I don't eat all of my meals at home!!! This is only for breakfast and occasional I'm too lazy to go outside meals. I thought I'd show you what I can get for under 100,000 won at a Korean Grocery store.

Everyone is saying that $100 a month is expensive...
In Canada, I spend about $75 every week and a half on groceries!
I mean...$3 for those eggs!!! Eggs here are about $5-7 for a dozen.
Amy Merritt I live in Vancouver and just wanted to mention that I believe she is American so her reference to $1 is in US funds which is $1.26CDN depending on how our money is trending. She mentions in her notes that she only eats at home occasionally. So her $85US doesn't go that far really. def not a month worth of groceries if you eat at home most of the time. Our food in Canada is roughly 35%cheaper on avg. based on price per item with exception of eggs which you mentioned.
Amy Merritt omg that's crazy! I just paid .79 a dozen last week in America and I live in one of the most expensive states.
Amy Merritt ehh where do you live? I live in Toronto and eggs are $2 a dozen at regular grocery stores
you need atleast $500 in Australia
Jane-Emi 2 hours North of you.
The farther up North you go, the more expensive it is! Like our friends up in Attawapiskat; they pay like $20 for a cabbage.
I spend $25 every month... Ya'll come to Sweden if you're poor istg $25 is enough for yourself. Buy clothes, buy snacks and gifts for your friends birthday for only 25 fkn $ ;-; + Free school, no tuition fees and Sweden have one of the best education. High school you're given around $200 sometimes + $300 if you're a good kid every month until you graduate. Like they're paying you to come to school and you choose to do nothing but just sit in class they still give your damn money. + You don't pay tuition fees in high school either. Oh god what i love Sweden :)
Ifi bruh 25$ ? I spend 25$ in a day lol
Otaku Mari Gurl, you need to calm down $25 IS MUCH FOR A DAY omg
Ifi 25$ is too little tbh like my dinner is 10$ coffee for 5$ a and 10$ for snacks and lunch !!
Otaku Mari Ok i understood the dinner for $10 but coffee for $5 and snack for $10. Gurl tell me where you live so i can avoid that country😂 Sweden is sooo cheap i can't...
Ifi I live in Middle East coffee can be 10$ too !! 5$ is a reasonable price and 10$ for snack not only one snack but like I grab 3-5 snacks and drinks and end up by 10$ lol
"they just get so excited when you buy their things" haha I smiled at that part. It shows that you really care about others, even when it's not that expected!! Oh btw, this is my first video I'm watching of yours. SUBBED!
+sammyiboi aww thank you :)
They are all called Bell Peppers. Paprika, in the states, is the spice made from peppers.
+Emma Ethan Potts ok that's what I thought! Also I always think of Blues Clues when I hear paprika
Really? Here in Germany we call it Paprika and the spice Paprikapulver
SorayaSun92 same but the paprikapoeder
Peanut butter and soy sauce makes a delicious marinade for tofu. Then I just cook it until it gets slightly crispy in a frying pan and use the marinade as a sauce.
+The G Family thanks for the tip! Ill try that sometime
No wonder korean people eat out so much. lol. It is so expensive to cook at home.
You can get more food for cheaper if you shop at a 시장(U.S. equivalent to a farmers market, but less expensive). Also, a lot of the foods she bought were prepackaged or need to be imported into Korea, which causes them to be more expensive. For example, the bananas are from South America so they will be more expensive because of import tax, however, if you buy bananas local to Asia, it will be cheaper.
YESSS these are the videos I would love to see to have a general idea about how much it costs to live there and get some basic stuff.. you may find it weird, but since I am obsessed with feminine hygiene and all that stuff I was wondering the other day about women pads and pantyliner brands do they have some good quality brands like carefree?
+YumonYee ok good I was thinking of making a vid on it but didn't know if people would think that was weird XD
I'm all for it..I was hesitating before asking you but glad I did :D
+Fancy Nancy TV its not weird at all!
Fancy Nancy TV it's maybe a little odd but I think it'd be really helpful! you'd be the first to do so without being ashamed or anything !
Wow, grocery shopping is just so expensive in Korea ! With 85 won converted in euros in France you could have buy the double amount of food... plus veggies and fruits are very expensive, for those bananas I would pay 1,50 euros max in France ^^ However peanut butter is hella expensive too here, like 5 euros. It seems like it would be cheaper to eat outside than buying food to cook at home. Thank you for the video, it was really interesting !
+Aucun Aucun yeah peanut butter was never this expensive in America lol
Aucun Aucun I am not sure about what u say . I live in France and France is one of the most expensive in Europe! I spend on grocery 90 euros for each week!
Tu fais tes courses où ? Car franchement 100 euros par mois c'est vraiment pas cher je trouve
faryad rahaee OMG 90€ par mois impossible .... mes courses sont beaucoup moin chers
To cook the tofu, first cut 2" cubes and then cut diagonally to make a triangle. Deep fry in oil till the skin is crisp. Use the hot sauce or soya sauce as a dip.
+3nien ok totally going to do that! Thank you!!
Please do more grocery hauls nancy!! ❤️ This is so unique i love it. Would love to watch more of these from youu 😊
I just recently stumbled across your videos and i find it very entertaining! Keep up the good work!!
+tai tran thanks so much :D
YES I'M SO ENJOYED WATCHING THIS VIDEO
I've enjoyed this video!! Great job! c:
finally realistic videos😍😍moving there in 2 months
Enjoyed this !
Hi Nancy! Yes, I would love it if you make this a regular feature as I am thinking about visiting Korea hopefully this year. At least I can get an idea of food costs! Love your presentation, too! You have a bubbly personality! Keep it up!!
Thanks for the helpful video! Will fly and stay there start from next month :)
Keep doing videos like this! Amazing work!
I love your videos! You're awesome!
Thanks for giving us valuable information Nancy💓
In the Uk we just call them peppers. In Australia (where I now live) they're capsicum. I also only learnt about a year ago that red, green & yellow peppers are all the same pepper just at different stages of ripeness (which gives them their difference in sweetness!)
great video! yes, please do these monthly! subscribed!! :)
Yes please make every month one of these videos it's very interessting ~
the carrot 😂 i thought they were sweet potato haha. also, i am the same with you when it comes to groceries shopping. i always look for the cheaper price and not really care that much about the brand.
Super scrimping! Also the best way to try new foods and not burn a hole in your purse! LMAO
9:15 we call these capsicums in australia HAHAHA
Maria Zhong Us Aussies call everything differently 😂
Same lol. We call cilantro coriander too haha.
In England it’s literally just peppers or sweet peppers
In france we call it 'poivron'
wooow very amazing videos i loved it sooooo much
I like these videos, u should make MORE!!
Great video! Subbed 👍🏽
Fresh shrimp, fish , soak in a bowl of warn water add 1 cup half of vinegar, apple cider vinegar or white grape wine, soak for 30 minutes or 1hour if perfered.
Same as for any store bought frozen meat Chicken, Beef or pork I soak my frozen store purchased meat. Warm water with a 1 cup of apple cider, grape wine or vinegar.
I like this type of videos. So it would be great if you continued ^^
I recommend that you go the nearest wet and dry market for your fruits, veggies and meat. It is so much cheaper plus guaranteed that it is fresh and you're actually helping farmers/butchers in your purchase instead of owners of big conglomerates like Lotte who I think doesn't really help their workers considering the amount of pay they give to their employees.
I love your personality haha! you just got a new subbie :)
Ahh these videos are so fun~ XD I heard like farmer market like places ( Like they have baskets of fruit/potatoe hanging out) have cheaper produce
the beginning about the girl & the "speaking of tomatos, i have some potatos" has me dead...idk 😂 great video!!
super helpful!!!
i like grocery hauls now . please do more
put the tofu in a veggie stir fry! make sure to add soy sauce or sesame oil. I love these food hauls!
+sugartub thanks for the tip :)
yes!!! please make these monthly (:
You should check out mommytangs channel here on CZcams. She make a lot of simple Korean dishes you could make easily in your apt and probably healthier. She doesn't own a microwave either.
yeah I'll try it
thanx 4 the super haul/ I like your jacket
Also ur I dunno bomber jacket(u know wat I mean ) is SO CUTE
u tell thing in a very sarcastic way lol i love it !
so helpful thank you .. I'm trying to go back to Korea... this is very useful thank you
nancyyy I think you're really funny hahahah and I really enjoyed your video! so interesting cuz I'm addicted to grocery shopping!!! hope you remember to buy cilantro next time & I loved all your buys =3=
@9:48 soft tofu is for "soon dubu soup" 순두부찌게 and usually packaged in a plastic tube. Hard tofu is for frying (부침용) and there is a medium kind.... and it's for any kind of soup(찌게용). the one you are holding, you can use it for both frying and soup......without any label, you can just assume that it's for both frying and soup. search the word "dubu jorim recipes" on youtube. it's delicious
Hahaha you're so sweet to the sampling lady! Annnd being thrifty is not at all bad ❣
For the Tofu just cut it into slices and fry it in a pan, it's so good!
My favorite part was the egg segment! haha
In germany they are also called Paprikas. Just to throw it in there =p
In Belgium also haha
Same in the Netherlands, guess it’s a thing for non-English speaking countries 😂
Same goes for Czechia xp
Wait isnt dutch en vlaams the same
I really like the way you go for the cheapest option.
Aw I miss my country. Your channel gives me a huge nostalgia haha :)
+Minnie Linke 미니 린크 awww :) I felt the same way about China when I was in America
The large yellow and red "paprikas" are called "bell peppers."
You can use "raw" tofu mashed with avocadoes and flavored as you like. Spread on a sandwich. You can slice into cubes and fry, add to rice w/ veggies.
Thumbs up for the covered in dirt carrots! Korean grocery seems really expensive :X
Ooh, I just got rice paper wrappers today, too! I need to get some avocado to go inside, though.
You are great.
Love you style, your smile, and wit.
Clint.
YES! Sriracha! I love that stuff! Unfortunately the American version(28oz/793g/740ml different values for the same bottle) does not have that saying... "I put my Sriracha on my Sriracha". But lots of people put it on just about everything and is the leading cause of "Burning Ring of Fire".
cool vid brah
Idk why but ur vid is very hilarious😂
you should do more grocery haul videos :)
I need to do one again soon! but I haven't been cooking lately
Basil, adding Italian herbs to Korean food . Interesting fusion idea.
You say sriracha like me!! Suddenly, I feel less alone
I love this video and I would like to see more of this, and think it would be a great idea to do reman taste test video, that is something that I would like to watch😄🍜👌🏻
+Crystal Nmoh thank you :)
I don't know how I ended up watching/subscribing to your channel. I'm not Korean. I never plan on going to Korea. I know no one in Korea. But I find you funny and easy to watch. Interesting to see things in places I'll never visit. Peanut butter is really expensive. Just sayin.
"and speaking of tomatoes, I have some potatoes... sorry that wasn't very funny" - I THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY 😆
You can fry tofu, it tastes great! I had a Korean roommate who made a homemade dish for us before and she fried some tofu and we had kimchi with it.
Deff do a few more. I live in korea and everything is crappin expensive. Id love more vids on this.
Paprika is Hungarian for peppers, but they are Bell Peppers, green is early and it changes color as they mature!
When she said sauces I saw green and red and I was like omo I love sriracha before she mentioned sriracha because I love it so much.
Kang Sora on the cereal 😍
First of all, great video ! It gives such a clear idea about the cost of living. Thank you ! & OMG!!! Does Korea import all its food ?
$100 for 1 person.
In India $100 could feed a family of 6, 3 square meals a day and more.
Taylor Bro ! All of it
Except meat and seafood, the non vegetarian stuff those $100 are INCLUSIVE of fruits, a variety of vegetables, milk, juice... everything. A bundle of spinach costs only $0.23- $0.39 & a kg of potatoes would be for a maximum of $0.60
Nidhi K I agree the abundant sunshine and climate makes a vegetarian home cooked diet not way too expensive in India. and it is all very easily available.
Is that shopping exclusively at a supermarket? I can't imagine those prices at a supermarket in my country, even in season. You'd have to go to the local markets to get it that cheap here. Not potatoes. Those things cost half a soul.
I totally agree....
You can easily buy 1kg of carrot 50 rupees which is not even one us dollar..... isn't that great???
yes do it every month, I like your video's. I found you from Been Dean.😃
+Jessica Wood thanks! :)
This was interesting&helpful and I really like your jacket~ are the tomatoes+potatoes enough for one month? :O I'm just wondering because I need so more , I also have to go buying bananas and paprikas(we say that in Germany xD) more often because they are never enough for more than a few days and I want them fresh :( but when I will (hopefully) return to Korea in the future I have already a good list of things to buy ~
+Jockeymahorn I only eat bananas for the first week and then they are gone hahah I just never have time to go to the grocery market because I'm always traveling on the weekends :P
I call them bell peppers. Great video!!
Super interesting
ok, you have my subscription
I can relate so much to this hahaha
@6:04 yeah that's a new packaging label for all srirancha lol
they are all considered bell peppers-tofu can be fried in small slaps or strips and they are good over rice with lots of soy and hot sauce
Can u make a video of the bakery? Paris Baguette was my favorite bakery when I lived there.
So lovely
Btw, I liked the video. You are very funny. :-)
"And now moving on to PRODUCE" I love your delivery. lol. We have the self weigh for produce in Germany, too. I found out the embarrassing way. As in I took my stuff up to the cashier and expected her to weigh it. Yeah, that didn't happen.
damn so cheap, my family used to spend $200 per week on groceries (Australia)
11:20 that's honestly too cute😂
ooooh, jjambbong ramyeon! yes, please tell us how that is!
Bell Peppers, a real fresh Paprika is heart shaped with a very pointed bottom. I cook so everything would be for 'scratch cooking'.
haha good video! i love 3 분 카레!
+Simply SSOL accidentally bought it hahaha it's pretty good :) I saw they have Jjajang rice too
+Fancy Nancy TV by the way i would love to watch the diff ramyun review!
Campari tomatoes are always really good and never refrigerate them.
The dirt on the vegetables are an indication that it's organic farmer vegetables.
At 7:36 I was like "Ayye, that's my BORNDAY!!!"
I live in Boston and we have those same tomatoes (the brand...) here. They get around....lol
Need an egg, lol!! tofu can be used in soups or stir fried with stuff, it needs seasoning or sauce with it. sort of a "filler" in recipes & stuff. can even be made as a pudding with flavoring and sugar.
Hahahahaha watching this right now cause I’m 1 month away from moving to Seoul. Very funny video. Did you only ate the food showed in this video for the entire month? You must of ate out also.
A lot of dry seaweeds and you get in the hot side on the food balance :P You bought a lot of pantry food, only the milk was a fresh perishable item. $100 only last me as much as 5 days here in NY, and that is because I don't cook and only go for take outs :( If you want to keep the potatoes and carrots nice and fresh, take them out of the plastic bag and put them in a paper bag and at the bottom of your fridge. Is nice that you bought a big box of eggs but remember those have to stay inside the fridge to stay fresh longer.
I live in Los Angeles so $100 a month on groceries is a dream come true for me lol.
Ever since I seen bts I'm obsessed with ur vids
We share the same living alone cooking dilemmas! :))))))))
+eriann20 yeshhh cooking for one is so hard
+Fancy Nancy TV so is shopping for 1 I lived with my family for my college years then moved out and for 2 years after I was buying food for 2 and cooking for 2
You remind me of a temporary worker that use to work at my job. Just a similar personality and how you talk. It isn't a bad thing. Just something I noticed.
oh my gosh, everything is so expensive!
she literally got a months worth of food for $100...
girl what? that’s so cheap.
In U.S.A ,you can get the Peanut Butter ranging from 1.99 to 4.99 depending on the brand you buy...
