Venezuela Luxury Market Shopping Tour 🇻🇪

- I'm taking you guys into Venezuela's newest and fanciest luxury market. The Venezuela food crisis is now over and such luxury grocery stores are popping up all over the city. I shopped around the market and bought a few things. I was most amazed by the broad selection of alcohol and how cheap scotch whisky is in Venezuela compared to other nations.

Other than your haircut the other day Venezuela doesn't look cheap
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
when you coming to dallas texas⚽️⚽️
is venezuelan good for tourists i read it was a very poor area which = high crime and health care sucks
Excellent
A+ for security at that grocery store lol they were on you like hawks
Are that security subscribe this channel?
That hyperinflation is crazy there. When you mentioned minimum wage I just looked online at professions by country ranking and thought I'd check the cashier salary, so that girl working there serving you makes $213 USD a month on average. So the cheesecake alone is nearly a weeks wage for her. How they get by man is 👏 amazing. Crazy that in this world we can have some people with more personal wealth than a small poor countries GDP and they still want more! Keep it real, keep it humble mate.
Well said 😇
yes, I am agree
$213 per month is a high wage in Venezuela.
cause stuff there are cheap same in my country i live in philippines you can survive 100 bucks for a month wifi electricity food
whe t has ur ow3ds homes, n no bills, but the real deal.its whst do it saves venezueka its saves of sit out
That’s a store is for the 1% of Venezuelans who can afford it
Exactly , you're totally right !!!👍🏻 Unless they increase the minimum wage nobody can afford it 😢 sad but reality !
yes.
Yeah, dude, because the top 1% goes to the public market to get their food and stuff. That happens in the usa an in every country, public markets for the top 1%.
Where the hell do you get those crappy ideas?
@@hectorcastaneda1153 look at the prices, no one is affording those luxuries
@@djthfc6045 Dude, look at those people, the place is packed, do you really believe that crap that only the top 1% shops in these bodegas?? The top 1% doesnt even have to leave their houses to get groceries!
Why would you need a brick and mortar store if youre gonna sell only to the top 1%?
Canadian here. Liquor stores just started selling the Diplomatico here in Canada. As a rum and scotch lover, I can say that Venezuela makes an incredible tasting rum. It sells for $32 here and is worth every penny.
Praying for the people of Venezuela. Very nice people.
I'm glad you reminded everyone what the current average monthly salary in Venezuela is (USD 8) and viewers should be prompt to understand this store is for the 1% that has dollars and can afford to spend them. Would be interesting to see where the 99% go shopping and what the state of their grocery stores are like.
nominal wage, no one makes that wage anymore you can't live on that bro. This is a pretty average store tbh, there are more expensive and cheaper places.
Stop repeating this propaganda. It's not for the 1%.
@@dabeasty3The retirees down there get 8 bucks a month.
Your videos are my virtual cultural connection. And a great way to hear native Spanish speakers in every day life.
Great to see the Venezuelan economy coming back. I didn't have any knowledge of this until your video.
Glad it was helpful!
@@VolpeWhereAreYou Born in Venezuela Raised in America .....good to see you in your birth place .......but you have a task mate to search and find a chicken biriyani where u live now
He’s capping this video is propaganda
If this is the case, Venezuela has the economy as a potential
@@rustic_aaiden_number1hater lol What
It’s crazy how full that store was and how many people seemingly could afford to shop there!
Mostly tourists i think.
@@albertol9654 no, son locales
they are locals with ties to the communist government , they are thriving.
A market isn't a proper one unless it's bustling with buyers.
That's crazy how the expensive bottles are out in the open like that, usually being behind glass cases here in the US
One deterrent here though, is it looks like all items are checked by store personnel with the receipt before anything can leave the store. Plus it looked like they had in store security.
Maybe you live in a crime area, parts of the US are very dangerous.
@@swdsfss2744 yess! Here in South Los Angeles they’re glassed up and with good security
because most of the time these places are owned by people of authority, you don't mess with them.
I really love watching videos from my country and I hope Venezuela continues to improve. Thanks for sharing it bro!
You are still in Venezuela, how nice that you have been able to walk its streets and see how everything is, thank you for showing this country in your videos.
Hola Carlos Amigo! Thanks for explaining the situation of Venezuela from ground ! The super market is pretty massive and can give Carrefour a run for their money !! The guys followed you coz they found you suspicious- good that you showed them who you are 👍👍👍 ! Glad that you were able to shop to your heart’s content ! Never knew that V is huge on Scotch consumption! Checking of your cart was intense but the guards were doing their job ! Loved the shopping Vlog experience!! Much love and respect to you bro - Look forward to more vlogs from Venezuela ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍
Thanks brother
@@VolpeWhereAreYou Enchufado!
Carlos, be very careful, as everyone is not your friend there and they will be checking your videos. Don't get thrown into the carcel.
EXACTLY!....Everyone is NOT your friend....There are a lot of Jealous people in the world!
@@1limited669 FACTS!!!!
He doesn't make political videos, no one cares about volpe to put him in jail stop fear mongering. He clearly having a nice time.
Most of these items are more expensive than in US supermarkets. 99% of Venezuelans wouldn't be able to afford this supermarket
Indeed Venezuelan got good down there here in the USA is hell lol
@@jhonnyarvilla7285 You do realize it scales right? Those prices to us look cheap because how much we make on average. Prices of items go up with our wages. Those prices are EXTREMELY expensive for the Venezuelans. It is like if Rolex had a grocery store for us. The prices would be out of reach to most people in the US. Same goes for that store with the Venezuelans.
“Las vitaminas” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am glad I discovered this channel. Venezuela has changed a lot.
Sad to see a country who is rich in natural resources, especially oil and that was once a prosperous country in South America. A government can screw things up and ruin it for the entire country. Hopefully things change in he future.
They can get things better really easy. All the government has to do is give their natural resources to the united states. That way they would be praised as an example and you would not be reading all that crap that western corporate media writes about Venezuela.
You're correct that a government can screw it up and in this case it's the U.S. government.
@@hectorcastaneda1153 Its so sad to give up natural resources and be dependent on a capitalist country in order to survive.
Same like my country srilanka 😑🥺 a very beautiful country in south asia. But worst politicians ruin the country😭
@@ramosman0469 don’t be a moron Venezuela got destroy by socialism policies like in every country Marxism is try the country ends poor even our wealthy nation Venezuela destroy by socialist
Thanks for the videos man GR8 job, I used to live in Venezuela 🇻🇪 in 1991 till 1997 and it was the best time of my life and the country was the best I was hoping things would get back to those times and always wanted to go back and get that same feeling but when I visited in 2003 it was different and got worst but seing these videos brings me hope and joy and hope to go back, sad to see that people make $8 for the month and milk is $2.50 🙏 💪 ✌
So good to see you again! This is the only way I'll ever get to see Venezuela.
The Luxury stores will always be the last to run out of items as they're priced more.
En todos lados están llenos loa supermercado
I think that is really hard to record in Venezuela, I'm surprised that Volpe was recording and not having security to tell him to stop. Great content 👍
Buen video desearía que hubiera más productos locales fabricados en Venezuela para oponerse a la importación de todo, ya que eso ayudaría a que sea mucho más asequible para la población en general.
Sí, eso es verdad.
que no fue esa la política de vuvuzuela desde 1999??? expropiación y demas yerbas, para que sea todo nacional y popular? el problema con Venezuela es su población y cultura, no el sistema económico que sigan.
@@gwolf6442 What the f are you saying? Problem with Venezuelan population?? Are you normal inside that round box?! Gosh!
Qué dices? Si los productos mas caros son los qué son hechos en vzla 😂
This shop is even too expensive for european standard.
Bananas r no morre than 1,30 in Slovenia
Venezuela basically survives from the 4/5 million people who have left in the last decade sending money back to family members.
Nah
😂😂😂😂
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭😂🤣🤣
It's funny how people laugh about your comment despite the fact that you're actually right. The major part of the Venezuelan population makes their live out the money their relatives send
There are many Venezuelan freelancers/virtual assistants too.
HENNESY PARADIS ONLY $875??!?!!? I’m on my way to Venezuela right now! It goes for like 3k in the states!
I live in Canada, Toronto & theirs no way id buy that small chocolate pie $32 USD😂 maybe $10 if im really craving it lol this place is crazy
Not sure if you know they have a Cheesecake Factory at Yorkdale mall, its not exactly cheap here either it’s considered “top shelf” stuff (designer food), i just buy the compliments one from metro for like 15, and you get like 4 flavours and 8 slices.
Cheesecake factory is so good but I only splurge once per year and it's around $40 in my state.
I live in Arizona and will only buy Safeway or Walmart cheesecake for the house. It’s much cheaper. Once a year I will splurge on Cheesecake Factory cakes too.
Misleading video. Monthly minimum salary is $1.50usd not $8usd. And this particular supermarket is a top market for the 1%ers. Socialism totally destroyed that country.
Just discovered you’re channel and love the videos. I haven’t been in 8 years and i completely forgot about cocosettes. One of the best dulces I’ve had
Gracias por tus videos, me da mucha nostalgia quiero regresar a mi pais
Yeah its fully stocked as in nothing there has been sold because no one can afford anything. If a store like that had been opened in the us or anywhere else itd be empty in those 3 days and there would be a ton of workers restocking things.
I’m currently learning Spanish so I can travel to all those areas
Es bueno destacar el como y con cuanto se puede hacer un mercado en Venezuela, pero la realidad en las calles es otra. Seria bueno mostrar la vida diaria de la persona que vivi el dia a dia.
este vendio la patria.... no se preocupe que YA le viene lo suyo a todos estos VENDIDOS ENCHUFADOS
🤣🤣hay videos de calle amigo anímate en buscar
Hiiii..First one here!
Love from Kolkata! Follower for 2 Straight years... Keep growing more bro!
This video while informative it also has some misinformation.
I employ (5) virtual assistants who live in Venezuela. Yes, maybe you could say that the "average" monthly salary is so low because most Venezuelans are unemployed and rely on monthly provisions given by the government. However, most Venezuelans hustle to make ends meet, and to live "comfortably" a Venezuelan needs to make around $300 USD per month.
Venezuelans are some of the most resourceful people I have ever met. Unfortunately, Venezuela has been struck with severe embargos and sanctions by the world powers. While the punishment was originally intended to hurt the President and Venezuela's elite, they have found ways to manipulate the system so that these embargos and sanctions do not affect them and instead are directly suffered by the common citizen of Venezuela. It is all done in plain sight and the Powerful nations that put these embargos and punishments in place do nothing because doing something would mean they would have to admit that their embargos failed. China and Russia openly buy oil and gold from Venezuela, even with the embargos and sanctions in place, but the US and other Nato powers do nothing to stop it. These backroom trade deals ONLY benefit the most elite in Venezuela.
It is sad to think that one of the most oil-rich countries in the world (Venezuela) is now one of the poorest because of Political differences.
So for the record, the part of Venezuela that you are visiting now is the area where Maduro's most loyal. Just look at the vehicles they are driving.
Mostly all Venezuelans are unemployed? False. It's very difficult to find employees by the way. The minimum wage established by the goverment is just a number. Nobody earns that. The average is 300$, still low, but is rising every year.
@@zatarra2766 I am a Venezuelan doctor, and the government pays me $60 a month, teachers and nurses earn less than me, and retired workers are the worst paid ($10 a month), in my city the average salary is $100 but only private companies pay that, and now there are entrepreneurs like me, who decide to generate their own income
I work as a translator and I generate 1.6k monthly on average.
The prices are just a bit more expensive than in the Netherlands (10/15%) but if you then take into account what people earn in Venezuela thats just ridiculous!
Are you gonna do some football stuff too? I know absolutely nothing about Venezuelan football, but I bet its just as great as in the rest of South America.
Insane right? and probably not, for some reason or another football isn't as big here as the rest of SA
@@VolpeWhereAreYou Really insane yeah.
Too bad about the football, as a fan myself I always love seeing the local game day ambiance.
Thats not true. Nutellla like that would be under 5 euros.
@@bastiaan4129 our national sport in baseball we are number 2 in SM we have players like Miguel Cabrera! Check it out
@ProudOfYourRoots I'm not a tourist so I don't buy Nutella, all the other prices were very close to what they are in the Netherlands.
Venezuela is a very important country in Latin America in terms of the economy
Because of oil
Thank you for the amazing videos! Been watching you for a long time.
Venezuela va mejorando poco a poco, estamos muchos mejor que hace 3 años y para el 2022 la economia va mejorar mas
Keep going venezuelan🎉...do the best for your country..Love from Malaysia.
With the rise of retail theft here in the US, it would be great, yet somewhat inconvenient, to have employees check the contents vs. the receipt, as shown here. Unfortunately, that is only done mainly at membership type retailers such as Costco/Sam's Club. In the end, it would be better prices for the consumer. Google theft in San Francisco. Things are getting out of control, causing stores to close early or even altogether.
It is so weird … how our news in the US makes Venezuela seem like a long lost soul. Seems pretty normal company to me almost USA like in a number of ways. Just goes to show you the news people are weird and don’t tell the whole story. Cheers and best wishes to all the everyday Venezuelans making their way like us everyday people in the US doing the same.
Most of what they say about vz is propaganda at this point lol
Nah it’s not , most people in Venezuela are poor and can’t afford this.
Thank you so much for taking your time to explain everything into details, I really got enlightened
I will celebrate the victory one day once they grew up again cause I pray to lord that common people’s never suffered of food and education and I’m not belongs to Latin America but I love the people’s who are suffered of food❤️🇩🇪❤️
❤️🇻🇪🙏🏼👊🏼
the content of your channel is really wonderful. your channel is one of my favorites. thanks for such an excellent video. you're the best!
It looks the same in the 🇺🇸 US. I hope Venezuela gets better.✌☮
only way to slowly recover is a guy like you buying from that store or someone from other country sending money for the family to spend. Good luck and God Bless Venezuela
The store has some great goodie’s!!!!😍😍
excellent venezuela has improved more or less
this is a nice grocery. just as good as the ones in the Toronto area (without the alcohol) lol
Damn those workers/security was on your ass lol. They were watching you like a hawk. I’ve had that had several times & hate it lol.
If they didn't have $890 bottles not in a glass case, they wouldn't have to be so sketchy lol.
It's because he was speaking in English, no one is going to rob this store in particular since it's run by someone in the government.
Them prices aren't as bad as I thought they would be. Especially on the alcohol. I'm moving there
Daaam they searched better than customs
😂😂😂
Wow, seems like more expensive then UK.
Hey guy, everything you described as far as empty shelves did occur in Venezuela. Things may be getting back to normal now. A lot of folks are still hurting.
Salute to my homie doing shopping in Venezuela like a senior
Volpe, love your videos! I wanted to ask you what camera you use and mic. Thank your for showing our country!
Security looking like the secret service 🤣🚨
So pringles are 1.90, so that means you could buy 4 cans per month on minimum wage to survive on potato flour and glutamates. ;)
Its good that items are fully stacked though i wish there are more local products manufactured in venezuela as oppose to importing everything as that would help to make it much affordable to general populace.
owners of these stores are linked to NARCO and terrorism. HOW THE HECK you think the other successful VENEZUELAN owed stores have failed and this one just pops out BRAND NEW in the middle of the worse economic crisis IN THE WORLD??? Have a brain
Always coming with great content. Love all your videos
Glad you like them!
Crazy some of these products (like Nutella) are more expensive than in Zurich (Switzerland) where I live...But the average salary in Zurich is around 6-7k USD monthly
what does one need to get an average salary in Zurich then?
@@DramaScenes1 just live there lol
This store looks better than my local Walmart
black label costs about 30 in the philippines. a blue label costs about 110 to 120.
Jack is the same price here. You must have spent hundreds of dollars. If 8 bucks a month is the minimum wage, i wonder what the average wage is. My friend left the country for Colombia because of the super high prices.
total ended up being like a buck 50
I saw the ring on that cashiers finger and was like damn.... good for him.
Cocosettie and Susy bars ....yummy. Venezuela is a beautiful country with beautiful people (that know how to party). Unfortunately, some of my "extended family" no longer lives there as they moved to Columbia and Portugal once things got really bad a few years back. Hopefully they can overthrow their lousy, corrupt government at some point.
Aquí el aguante🔥
catching up to your venezuelan videos..enjoying them so far, !
Glad you like them!
Packed grocery store!
ella tiene ojos lindos
With most people making $8.00 a month, those prices are unreachable. I am Venezuelan and that is the true
This is definitely propaganda. I work at a grocery store in the US and I have never seen a store "faced" so perfectly. Watch the shelves, notice how everything is perfectly flush with the shelves, very few things missing or out of place. Not a real store, probably all actors. If people were really shopping like it appears they are the shelves would look different 100%.
I am very grateful for the information provided
3:17 I was like wait a damn minute. Ain't that cereal from Aldi's (Millville coco puffs)
I like to live in Venezuela and just chill.
Great vlog...it’s seems they barter all the stuff in exchange for oil....
People seem nice and calm under the conditions ....
Same prices as Miami....hahaha
Volpe , Really enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
"This is like Venezuelan crack, you can't get enough of it" JAJAJAJAJAJ
Has the local situation & foods scarcity improved for ordinary people or got worsen these days compared to a few years ago?
I just noticed that you're really tall. When you were filming next to the shelves you were exactly at the very top shelf.
Sending love from Iran 🇮🇷😘
Hii carlos....big fan of you from INDIA.....❤...your love for indian food it was supab....
17:45 was the best 🤣🤣🤣
So either all those products get exported for cheap when they are close to expiring dates or they sell cheap to other countries once they are expired
The problem with today's world is that the more you stay humble and sincere, the poorer you become. My heart goes out to the common person of Venezuela and to everyone like myself, a similarly well educated, well informed, well mannered Indian from a similar poor country plagued by inflation. I'd have prayed for us all, armanos and brothers, but I'm agnostic. Anyways, wishing and hoping for a better tomorrow for us all. Keep up the slog, compadres.
Only rich people in Venezuela go to that store you went to Volpe. Smh.
You need to go outside of Caracas for an honest view of what's really going on in Venezuela.
thanks for this video
Cool!
Great and fresh upload Carlos Bro
Good to see y'all have food.🙏🏻📿💪
LMAO another dumb zombie who thinks this video shows WE the people of VENEZUELA have food. Ask him, WHO OWNS THE STORE??? Terrorists and Narco
Those two guys approaching you. A welcome from the govermet intromicion in people's life. They heard you speaking English they approached you . Not to say hi but to keep an eye on you. Cuban style.
Finally another upload
that old par 18 is $91.71 usd in australia
Just like the Philippines. They check your receipt and goods as you leave the store. And every isle you walk down, you pass one or two employees checking on you.
I see Diplomatico Reserve in the states for 10 dollars more than the price in Caracas! Great video again, thank you!
One thing ive noticed in PR is that Wal-mart, Home Depot,and Auto zone are more expensive than Wal-mart , HD , and Autozone in the states and honestly they don't have near the selection as the states nor or the products of the same quality so I go to National Hardware ,local grocery stores.and local car parts stores.Also, for beer ,almost everything is in 10oz. cans few 12oz. like in the states yet they charge the same.Sams club does have decent stuff there but I had to train myself to not go to the major stores of the states.Actually, Id rather patronize smaller name stores from PR.We have 4 or 5 main beers such as Heineken,Corona,Silver Key,and the main player Medalla beer (which is really good!).Variety is far smaller than the states but it doesn't really bother me.
The bodegones have been around for a while, but only the ones with the $$$ were typically the only customers. Now to go to the likes of Central Madeirense, etc. ;-)
But good to see something positive about CCS.
That is a nice store
Just wanted to k ke if the essential food items available most of the times or often have scarcity, if they have milk , butter , oil and vegetables then one can survive there, we are thinking to move there , we r vegetarian so ur reply to my question will be helpful for us in terms of deciding.
Thanks in advance.
