@@user-ou2jd3gq7u You are welcome. Hope to visit your country again.
@@user-ou2jd3gq7u i'm currently in Batumi and will be traveling to Tbilisi in a few days. Georgia has been amazing!
Travelled to Batumi, Kutaisi & Tbilisi last year. Fantastic place 👍
I’ve been there too except Kutaisi, Georgia is a charming country i wont get tired going there again and again
Im from georgia kutaisi,ive been at qobuleti,batumi,tbilisi
Fun fact: Most cheese stores allow you to try it so you can decide if you wanna buy it or not! Nice lil trick for buying stuff
I am georgian and I agree it
Boring fact
@@kippsguitar6539 a real fun fact: you can ignore something if you dont like it
Georgia is lovely and beautiful country
that’s true
i am Georgian❤thank you for coming to our country❤❤

As a tipical Georgian watching this video i am enjoying watching this video love that fact that u guys are super positive and didn't said anything bad about our store haha.. and i wanted to say that for u guys as a tourists its good price but as a georgian with normal job who is getting 700 - 900 lari a month ( i am not saying that i have that no but 50% of georgians has that kind of salary) its not good price there its middle almost too much but i am happy that u enjoyed shopping
They have a low income in Georgia, so the prices are more acceptable for foreigners. As for alcohol, they drink too much wine here, many families have a private cellar where they strain the wine. Personally, I prefer beer.
true, many people leave Georgia because of the low income.
Always heartwarming when a foreigner talks with appreciation about your country, ty so much. To my knowledge, salty cheese is more like yellow(ish)
I'm Georgian 🇬🇪 and thank you so so much to came our country❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
For Georgian people it’s expensive because we don’t get enough money from working
yes me as georgian
Awesome supermarket tour in Georgia. Thanks for sharing, Steve lvana.
It is affordable for you, but you should remember people don’t get the canadian salaries in Georgia
Food looks delicious!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Bro thank you for coming to tbilisi❤🇬🇪! I live in tbilisi❤❤ ბიჭო მადლობა თვილისში რომ მოხვედი❤😁👍!!
მგონი მოეწონათ საქართველო 🇬🇪
I liked it too based on their videos. Greetings from 🇫🇮.
Love the tour, as usual! What fun! I love visiting foreign supermarket and markets anywhere. 😁 Thank you!!! Love you two together! 🤗
Good to see you in our country 🇬🇪❤️❤️
Amazing monuments in that country
That food looks delicious ❤🎉
im from georgia and thank you for all of these 😀
Prices of goods may be affordable for tourists, but for an average Georgian It's actually WAYYYY overpriced
Ohh, i just realized you guys left the Georgia already. thats sad. Hope you had a lots of fun. Please visit us again ♥♥
Similar prices as in Romania, or even higher, except those 5kg rice and pasta, they are really cheap. I expected some lower prices though.
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 🇮🇪🇨🇦
The central Baku is definitely a beautiful place. If you go towards out of the centre it is a bit dull and you feel like you are in Soviet country. For regions, Sheki, Gabala and Ganja is fascinating.
Food looks amazing and I like the price
Actually, the prices for rice and pasta in big packages are quite high... Here in Belgium, you would get good quality rice for 1 euro per kilo, and no need to buy a huge pack. The same goes for fusilli... So it is more or less the same, or even a bit more expensive, than in Belgium, and that's crazy, cause the salaries in Georgia are much lower...
Locals buy pasta and rice per kilo as well! Not usually packaged ones. Kilo rice costs less than 1 euro here, around 2-2,50 lari
@@maritacherry6871 well it’s still 85 cents, and in Belgium it’s 1 euro and it will be packed already, so you can buy several packs and have “portions”, instead of buying a huge bag of it…
Visited this supermarket in Tbilisi, Carrefour is common in some parts of Europe and Middle East
The bread is actually expensive to Georgian citizens 😅not only bread everything else, we also have our own Georgian soda
Kvass?
I love your videos i am georgian მადლობა რომ საქართველოში მოხვედით!❤️
10:25 thats cheese sauce lol
Lovely
Carrefour is the Walmart of much of the world. We have two here in Yaounde, Cameroon, central Africa, and they are fantastic!
agreed！30years ago ,being the first foreign supermarket in my city (small one in China), it was way more diverse than Walmart (who came there couple of years later)then!
It's french silly Billy
I used to visit this Carrefour almost every day when I lived in Georgia for a year. Everything still looks same.
The harder it is - the saltier it is , that’s how you know which one is salty just looking at it ❤ enjoy 😊
kinda true if u talking about sheep cheese
Thank you for the video. Where in Tbilisi is this supermarket you went to?
Interesting.
I love tourists that says good stuff about my home land Georgia
Thanks for toutching all the food and not buying it.🙏
Aqui no Brasil também tem garrafas grande de vinho(5L), mas elas normalmente são de vidro e não plástico
hello from Tbilisi 😘
just to know prices you see now is almost tripled than it was years ago :). back than it was really really cheap. 12:03 this i guess is cornbread in round shape to eat with walnut stuff
how Georgians drink wine beautifully, and their toasts are simply works of art ❤
I’m from Georgian there’s so nice things u guys should love and love it :)
same
That "colourful" Balls are actually called - Pkhali. spinach-for green, beetroot leaves-red, carrot-orange. They are basically poached Veggies with spices and walnuts eaten with corn-bread as a starter..
The beef looks fresh and so appealing! Not sure if I want to eat sushi in Georgia 😄 not expected at all!
I'm not an expert, as I don't like sushi at all, but according to foreigners who tasted and who I asked, not much different from sushi anywhere else in Europe I guess... probably not as good as some you find in Japan
I am Georgian! I never tasted japanese made sushi but I liked them in Georgia more than in Italy.
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.
the artfood thig you liked is called russian/ukranian eggplant caviar
over 10 years ago prices were the half of what you see in markets lol, and that pack of mayo you see thats not a mayo its a cheese sauce its just melted cheese or the one you have in burgers and other food... carefour is mix of imported and Georgian produced products, we have lots of beer and we love it coz beer is one of the traditional drinks from our mountains, and about wine its more than 6k yo tradition as i remember, and bresd is like 10k yo tradition in Georgia, which makes my country the origin of wheat and grape, bread and wine... tnx for showing everybody how unic and beautiful my country is, for further questions text me and we can plan ur next trip in Georgia better next time ill help u with that
Nah, it’s cheese flavored mayo and it’s disgusting. Also oldest Kvevri is 8000 years old.
🎉🎉🎉 8:45
U shld drink greogian organic wines. yummy
btw, if youre going to tbilisi, go to the east point supermarket, the same company you went to, youll get lost, people call eachother to ask where they are
I am from different city in georgia once for school event visited tbilisi and we went in that same store you were at start nothing else
I LIVE IN GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!! THX U FOR COMING
try black lion beer, id say best craft beer from georgian market.
❤❤❤
#Jetfam. Which cheese did you like better? One was more expensive?
Im Georgian ❤️☺️ thank you 😊
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.
average salary in georgia is 4,600 dollar per year
I was surprised by the South Korean supermarket, how expensive things are there. Georgia's price level is quite high, especially compare their salary to the West. the beer is the same price as Germany.
High for locals, affordable for tourists
ჩემი საქართველოოო❤ გმადლობთ რომ დაამთვარიელეთ❤❤❤❤
Its "adjika". It's like an ketchup but more spicer.
Im from georgian i hope u like tbilisi❤
Looks like 35% of the products are imported from Turkey, according to the packages, another 35% are from Russia, and the last 30% are purely Georgian products. And on those local Georgian products, the labels are in 4 languages - Georgian, English, Russian and Turkish. And really nice prices for most things, although Carrefour was never known for being a discounter or a cheap chain.
You are wrong, Local georgian food are available in two languages, georgian and english. There is no turkish and especially not russian language. Btw, i am georgian.
@@giampaolopazini1074 you may want to rewatch the episode, pay attention to the locally produced mustard. The writings on the tube are in Georgian, English and Russian. Alright, Turkish is missing in this case.
The Russian writings for some products are not always linked to Russia in any way. Some products are from Belorus (which uses same font) and Ukraine (pretty similar font), also, some European companies that distribute products in Georgia use different packages for different global regions and they (unfortunately) use Russian language for post-soviet countries to make it less costly for themselves... so you might find russian-font packaging in McDonalds boxes for example, even though these boxes doesn't come from Russia.
But yes, some products are imported from Russia as well, just not THAT much
@@LadoTsulukidzethere are more russian products than Ukrainian and Belorussian
YOU SHOULD TRY TKHEMALI ITS THE BEST SAUCE
in next video visit moder side of tbilisi and if u want to see real magic visit batumi
Unfortunately, due to the low income and small salaries, the majority of prices shown in this video are above average or high, at least for locals. There are many other places Tbilisi where you can get the same or better products for way cheaper prices. As for the tourists though, Georgia is a very cheap country and probably a must see destination, especially if you consider how much of different stuff you can see, do and experience there. And I'm not even talking about food or hospitality yet, which are beyond great of course.
Edit: Also majority, about 80% of the products shown in this video are imported from different countries since Georgia produce very small variety of things. Well of course I don't mean wine, cheese, bread and some other stuff. There is no problem with that there.
Heyyy man! Thanks for info. I was thinking about the same thing when I was watching. They are cheap for ppl who earn dollars 😢 As a Turkish traveler I am planning to come to Georgia this month. Can you recommend some markets which are cheaper? Especially in Tbilisi. Thanks for your help from noww!
@@enessarkaya6688 In most cases, all markets have generally the same prices across all products. If you are on a budget, just stay away from Goodwill, Smart and shops next to the gas stations. Don't get me wrong, those are good groceries with quality products but not for a budget traveler.
True. When we go shopping and buy like.. 50ish things then the total comes out as 800 lari.. close to 1k baha
@@enessarkaya6688but carrefour is good. The one next to dighomi where goodwill is too. Either goodwill or carrefour
CANS....COOL!!
yea it might be affordable for toursits with some bucks but not for locals because wages are low :dd
+1 Follower :D i love positive tourists ❤
every chips is delicious. in chips section we cant decide which one to get so we are getting nothing 😂 kids buying chips most.
frixx is georgian chips brand and its so delicious i like it with meat flavor
How does the soft cheese taste? Hope you will tell us in the following video?
The soft cheese is SO GOOD! We will talk about it in today's livestream
that soft chease is named Feta chease and its not georgian sort. its origin is greece and isnt often consumed by georgians
Average salary in Georgia is 671$US per month
before tax
U should go to batumi it is super good I live in Georgia it is like a beach but better
1:42-1:48 As A Georgian Myself, IT DOES NOT MATTER!
I'm curious does Georgia have a type dish?
Good question... I will investigate this
@@JetLagWarriors average wage €613 before tax, €490 after tax... so like 531.87 United States Dollar a month net.

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
Wow, prices are actually high. Literally Latvian-level prices and Latvia is more expensive than, for example, Poland. Inflation and the war really fucked Georgia up economically : (
Oldest wine in the world is found in geirgia it is MORE than 8000 year old and that wine is older than 99.99% of countrys suprising right?
good job yall have pretty good georgia and im georgian try saying this word i love chips if you cant heres the translate.
მე მიყვარს ჩიფსი
I live in Georgia that’s my boy
Was Georgia affected by the inflation? Because those prices are quite affordable! Especially that 5kg rice!!
We are always affected by inflation 😂 prices are at least doubled compared to 2-3 years ago. It seems cheep only for people who get income from developed countries, for locals most of the things they showed are considered expensive. If you live here and work remotely and get payed in $ for example than it will be affordable.
@@annats4439 I remember the good old days in the 90's when my father, with what it was considered a good wage (officer in the army) was making like $50 a month... 🙃
@@morganangel340 yeh but prices are like 10x more now than in 90s, and 90s were the hardest period for the country anyways.
@annats4439 price of lari is increasing after 2022 actually
看上去世界各国的超市在货架分布上都是差不多的
Other than bananas, the other prices are very good 👍
average wage €613 before tax, €490 after tax... so like 531.87 United States Dollar a month net.
I am georgian ❤we love you❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so confused? Everyone is saying how expensive stuff is getting, people move to Turkey just for better prices. Surprise to see you gushing about the prices here!
The prices are too much for Georgians. The incomes are too low. 1 lari equals 2.7 bucks or something so it makes sense why prices seem too low for foreigners. Not everything is as nice as it seems. And about moving to Türkiye for shopping, yes that's true. Türkiye's prices are lower than ours ( from our point of view, and from salary), so that's another way of saving money when shopping in Türkiye stuff for the whole month, in just some hundreds of laris. (Barely reachs 500l per month shopping there)
@@_Salome. Well I've been living here my whole life so makes sense, nice to see another Georgian I guess!
French supermarket in Georgia
7:45 cz you went to the worst supermarket duude, I wish I could host u to show you around a little :((
