  • Thanks for watching this video. Hope you enjoyed it! I'm Viki, a Hungarian making videos about Hungary in English.
    Come grocery shopping with me in a central Budapest supermarket. I’ll show you around the supermarket and then I take my grocery haul home and show you all the prices and the grand total.

    The loose goods are comparable in price to the UK, but the non-perishables were very expensive. I don't pay more than £1 for a jar of pasta sauce (same size). You can get more expensive ones, but £4 would be considered a very luxury price. The bread was also expensive. I pay £1.15 for an up-market loaf. You could get cheap bread for 50p.
    I suppose a lot depends on where you shop, but overall it seems that Hungary is expensive, which is surprising given the lower average salary there.
    By the way, I enjoy your channel and hope that you continue making videos.

      Yeah, one of the big issues here is that the food also has the full VAT price of 27% added on to almost all food products.

    • @ChefEarthenware
      @ChefEarthenware Před rokem +1

      @@creativestudios3d Apart from the VAT, do you know why food is so expensive? Is it simply that labour costs are now a small part of food production so low salaries don't have much effect?

      @ChefEarthenware I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
      Yes, it's quite sad really how expensive some things are when you look at the salaries. That pasta sauce is definitely not a luxury item, maybe mid-range, if that. I've seen it sold for £2.50 at the Co-op in the UK, but I think it's closer to €1 in Italy.

    Love your videos. Yes leave a video on your cooking. My parents were born hungarians. Both born in Cegled. They both left in 1956 both ended up living in London. They met there. I was born in London. I was brought up eating hungarian food. To me its the best cuisine I ever tasted. I dont have my parents anymore. Their cooking was amazing. I went to Budapest in April 2023 for 6 days. I wish I stayed another week. Budapest is so beautiful. I want to go back again next April. Thank you for your videos

    Not expensive as such, but considering Hungarian wages, it's extremely expensive.

      Well that’s why expats move to Hungary, Hungarians can move to the USA or another other country if they want to make more money. Everyone is exploiting something no matter who you are. If you’re poor you will exploit another country for their jobs and if you’re an expat you will exploit a country because it’s cheaper for you to live in. That’s just the world we live in it’s not changing anytime soon

    Nagyon tetszett és szórakoztató volt . Az árakról , a Spar a legdrágább , a Lidl és Aldi kedvezőbb úgy kb.20 % -al .Zöldség, gyümölcs ,irány a piac ,ha van időd . Az ár is jobb és a minőség ,ha közvetlenül a termelőtől veszed

      @thisishungary  Před rokem +1

      Igen, a Spar nem a legolcsóbb, de talán nem is a legdrágább. Talán a CBA Príma drágább. De mindenképpen szeretnék majd egy videót csinálni egy bevásádlásról az Aldiban és a Lidl-ben is.

      Would you recommand good place to buy fruits and vegetables in Budapest? Is the market hall?

  • @theogre57
    @theogre57 Před rokem +2

    Looking at your shop I was thinking around £50 so very much on par with the UK but our food is VAT free so that makes a big difference. Your fresh fruit and veg looks far better than ours and the butchery and deli looked far more varied. Cadburys choclate was never great but since Kraft took them over, it's awful. As you're probably aware, Spar in the UK is a convenience store but a very welcome sight in some small Welsh town when you're on a bikepacking trip and need a calorie fix.

    • @thisishungary
      @thisishungary  Před rokem

      Yes, a lot fruit and veg are nicer in Hungary, but then there is more sun here! I've noticed that lots of imported brands have got very expensive recently, partially due to the forint having weakened.

      The official address is Budapest, Nyugati tér 1-2, 1066. It’s sort of opposite Nyugati Railway Station (underneath the building containing the Libri bookshop and Decathlon).

    You bought a lot for that amount. In Canada that would’ve probably cost about $150. I think you said $68, so pretty much double. I loved seeing how their grocery stores are set up and what kinds of things you have.

    Viki prices from your shopping trip not that far off from US prices which are slightly lower. Are food prices higher in Budapest than Gyor or smaller cities?

    • @thisishungary
      @thisishungary  Před rokem +1

      Well, I guess the same supermarket chain would most likely have the same prices all over the country. There might be some regional variation, but unfortunately, as far as I know Hungary has had the sharpest food price increase in the EU in the last year or so and salaries don’t reflect the change. 😢
      Prices at markets are usually cheaper, but there aren't any fruit and veg markets in the very centre of Budapest any more.
