Only in the Bay Area would Trader Joe’s be considered a “cheap” grocery store.
It’s not that bad They have some great stuff and fresh produce Good salmon imo
I'm getting all my groceries myself, and I've only been ordering pizza & sushi deliveries, which is a treat for my family (trying to keep off fastfood, and doing a great job out of it - we only eat pizzas/sushi about once a month, sometimes even once in like 6 weeks, e.g. when we're fasting). I wouldn't say we're much affected in my home city of 1.2 mln people, so life seems almost normal here, except that everything is closed and I have to bear my husband sharing my home office, and my kids demanding even more attention with homeschooling 😬
Hi Marina your videos bring immense joy for we. Thank you.
I live in San Francisco and my grocery store is the farmers market.
About 6 years ago at Safeway I got two 16 oz organic strawberries 2 for $4 with the Just 4 You. When I lived in the Bay Area I shopped mostly at Safeway and I sometimes Lucky. I used to work for Lucky/Save Mart. Here in Southern California I shop mostly at Ralphs especially since it's closest to me. They have great prices on organic products. Organic bananas at Ralphs are usually .69 per pound. I always do my shopping myself. I get frozen organic berries usually at Costo since I use them for smoothies.
I do my shopping mostly at Whole Foods and fruit & vegetable shop next door. Both shops are moments away from home and I made friends with staff. These things definitely add to the experience. Last time I went shopping the social distancing was introduced and people did stand 2 metres away from each other and the queue was about 10 people long.
I do understand the price tag at Whole Foods is higher than at other supermarkets in London but I highly value the quality and freshness of produce so I am happy to pay extra in order to get the best I can.
Great idea for the video! I showed prices in Trader Joe’s in one of mine )) Because before I moved to US I really wanted to know how much grocery cost here )
Your videos are very interesting. Thank you. You are the best English teacher.
Finally! Marina, I've started to watch your videos without subtitles! YEAH!
Hi marina! i love the content, thanks for sharing this video👍
your videos are very good and have a wide message thank you
Her smile its so good....🙈😇
Your video is amazing. My family have stocks of food and water for the long term. My family would sometimes go out to get groceries. Stay safe and stay home unless go out for essential business.
*In my country it is forbidden to go outside with somebody. I have stock of products at home so no need to go outside 🙂*
This is a cool video! You need to make one how many people lost jobs.
Here in Peru I go shopping (grocery store) once a week. I buy all that I will need for the complete week since we are not allowed to go out too much here.
You are so smart I love your channel. ciao from Italy 😘
Thanks for everything
Good job Marina you groceries shopping it’s healthy. You bought the same products I get and yes it’s better to get organic products where I live I go to Natural Grocers and HEB in Texas..
I do shipping by myself from nearest grocery store..!
Btw like your video..!
There is a small Q to get into my nearest grocer in Bangalore (called Namdhari). We wear masks and maintain social distancing. Since it is a small grocery store, only 5 customers are allowed inside at a time. Fresh produce comes into the store twice a day, so there is no shortage of veggies and fruits where I live.
interesting! thank you!
I'd say this is accurate. Trader Joe's does have lousy produce.
Great ideea of the video. I'm surprised that there are so many products in your grocery list which are more expensive in Romania even if they are not bio, beside the fact that that the wages are so different in my country vs. US.
Love you Marina ❤️

Unrelated: Emily has her father's eyes :)
Related: I MISS those times when we could go outside 😑 How easy it is to keep us all at home. 😒
A minute of pessimism here: this situation only proves our insecurity and vulnerability before anything global. Even those less affected, still have to abide.
A note of optimism: online businesses, such as mine, were only slightly affected, which almost makes zero difference (for the time being).
Hi!, nice channel Marina :) my channel is about news and my robotics projects. I live in Peru and I remember that the first day they quarantined the toilet paper ran out, but then it was normalized lol. Regarding food, they sell it normally. The problem of quarantine is that it has harmed animal producers, since sales have decreased tremendously as there are no restaurants. I hope after the quarantine you can visit Peru, it is a beautiful country with ancient constructions of the Inca empire and its various pre-Inca cultures. I would guide you: P
*Ur baby is adorable. She's very similar to dimitry's image indeed.*
Woodlands used to be my store 🙈
I don't know why, may be cos I live in Ukraine and my whole family tell me everytime that if fruits or some greens look good in stores likely there were used lots of supplements to make that look better and taste. In video that all looks so good and tasty but at the same time i have some disgust. Huh, this thought never leaves me alone
Марина, прикольней было бы если ты пробовала продукты не зная где дешевый а где более дорогой продукт, и по своим ощущениям пыталась бы угадать какой продукт дороже или дешевле :)
What is weight of strawberry and other.where are you from place.
How much would you estimate for a student in San Francisco? Just groceries, transportation, insurance?
As a student living inside the campus and not allowed to go out , I am buying my groceries from the only store we have inside and ordering for pizza
I would love to go shopping 🛍 with you marina.
I am not interested in grosery shopping but i watch full video i don't know why.
Hi Maria. I am big fan of yours. Please make video on British accent vs American accent for your linguamarina channel. By the way you are doing great job and i am inspired by you very much. please keep it up.
Do you know hindi language ??
I’ve been shopping at Kroger my whole life I want to try Whole Foods and start eating better
So Close!
Hi marina your city is lockdown ?
Me : trying to look for Noodles price so i can survive here
You : showing berries prices
And... how much are steaks?
your child seems like his father lol
U said grocery shopping in the bay area not trader Joe's and whole foods .. What there's no walmart or Sam's Club in the bay area??
Omg, so many unnecessary plastic packaging :( I think it's better to buy groceries from farmers
I’m obsessed with the farmers market I love buying food from the people that grew it Cheaper too
All these berries look absolutely not "organic", they are gigantic! and those cucumbers🙄
Sorry, but don’t use Trader Joe’s as your “cheap alternative” lmao use Wal-Mart
There are no Walmart's in SF.
Title is a little confusing but obviously shes comparing places in SF.
That being said, there are plenty of cheaper places than whole foods. And there are walmarts in silicon valley.
No walmart in SF but there is a Food Co and it is usually cheaper than Trader Joes but this is more accurate of a person living in SF that isn't necessarily worried about money who shops organic so it would be comparable!
Trader Joe's in my opinion is much better and a lot cheaper too. Especially milk products.
Why would you go to whole foods for the same groceries you can get much cheaper at trader Joe's I don't understand.
video eating food plz
Как много пластика... Марина, вы не задумывались об экологии?
Wrong sign.. those are conventional strawberries..
