REAL ENGLISH Story - Food Prices in California

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

What food can you buy for the equivalent of $15USD in your country? Can you relate to something in this story?

[@TK-vg3pb]

Hi,Tanya! Thanks to your videos,I can learn English enjoyably! In Japan, we can buy 5 tomatoes for $15USD. Is it expensive??

[@kledsonenglish]

In Brazil, you can buy a little over 2 pounds of a juicy cut of meat. Or 4 pounds of filet o chicken. Alternatively, you could throw 2 pounds of giant garlic clover into your shopping cart.

[@kledsonenglish]

I don't buy a processed food. As the saying goes, cut more, unwrap less.

[@Adriano_Muniz]

But you know I'm 73 years old and is no the first time that I hear about this problem always te times are changing and the people around the world are increasing.rigth now we are 8000 millions of people in the world and I think this is the real problem.

Great video, Tanya! I'd love to visit California and learn more about it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

It's so great to see you here Nes! You should definitely visit California!

[@Nestalks]

@@EnglishCoach3Ts Yes!!!😊😊

[@1Ren1KouSu]

I just learned the expression “on its last leg”. Thank you 🙏

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

I'm so glad to hear you learned something new! This is a very useful expression. I have a shirt that is on it's last leg. Most people would probably stop wearing it but I will probably wear it until it is completely worn out. Do you have anything that is on it's last leg?

[@1Ren1KouSu]

@@EnglishCoach3Ts Thanks for further information. I thought it only applies on perishable food.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

It can be applied to almost anything!

[@Bekind-ve8vu]

Watching your videos a year later since you uploaded. It's quite helpful. Thanks for sharing

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@sebastianolongo143]

Good Morning Teacher Tanya, thank you for sharing this topic. In Italy increase too the prices of the food in the grossery shop. I discoverd, or noticed, many foods are made in Italy, such as Tomatoe Pomì and Penne Barilla. I am curious tastering the oil extra virgin from California. The prices whit you have mentionate are few hight from the Italian prices. Many those foods I don't buy, are little healty. In this video I have lern many new word. Thank you. Sebastiano

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Sebastiano, thank you for your comment. Yes, I notices the tomato products were from Italy. Many of these foods are not things I normally buy, but they came in this food box. I kind of like it because I get to try new things!

[@englishforchange320]

This is such an excellent topic Tanya! I love watching shopping hauls - always curious to see what people buy so really great for an English lesson and to show real cuture and life in the US. I am inspired to do a similar video showing my food shopping prices in Belgium and later in France as I move there in a few weeks. Would that be ok? I will of course mention your video as the inspiration :)

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Yes! Of course and let me know when your video is published so I can watch it. Thank you for your comment and for asking!

[@user-jn4uj4qb8f]

Hi, I’m Misa from Japan. I love all of your videos. Anyway, can I ask you what is different between strained tomatoes and crushed tomatoes? just different expression?

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Here crushed tomatoes are like a chunky tomato sauce and strained tomatoes are even more chunky.

[@阿土-o3d]

I love this vedio. 😊 It's fun to watch and helpful. I noticed you bought a couple of small bags of rice, for me they are too little. As chinese I usually buy 1.5-2.5kg of rice at a time.😂. hahah I know thats the difference of eating habits. But still feel fun when watching. 😆

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

It is so interesting how our eating habits are different around the world. Do you buy potatoes?

[@阿土-o3d]

yeah, I love potato. I steam them and dip ketchup or just eat without anything. I love the original taste. Also put potatoes and carrots when stew meat, like pork ribs or beef. 😁

[@bonifacioarteaga3022]

Hi again teacher Tanya in response to your question about that we can buy with 15 American dollars.I going to tell you that here in Mexico 15 dollars is the equivalent of 300 Mexican pesos and is only to leave one day mi wife and I

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Thank you for sharing a little about Mexico!

[@جمالالمزينيالعبيدي]

Let's talk

[@جمالالمزينيالعبيدي]

What did they do?

[@جمالالمزينيالعبيدي]

Why is it expensive?

[@ismailhacihasanov4781]

In Azerbaijan the price for almost all kind of food products raises every single day.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

I am so sorry to hear that! I hope the economy gets better soon!

[@لينا-غ1ص]

Hi Coach

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Hi! Great to see you here in the comments!

[@ericban842]

In France is the same every single idem that we buy the cost are Sky high.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

It's so incredible and not in a good way! Sky high is a great expression! Thanks for your comment!

Hi

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Hello

[@rodriguereal6665]

And finally , how much money for this grocery?

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

$15

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Because it is from a food sharing organization not a grocery store

[@1Ren1KouSu]

They are all healthy food. You are approved 😁. If you really want to cut down something, maybe chips. Trader Joe’s eggs probably the cheapest.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

You are right. I almost never buy chips, but they came with this box of food. The nearest Trader Joe's is one hour from my house but I LOVE Trader Joe's. Do you have one near you?

[@1Ren1KouSu]

@@EnglishCoach3Ts By the way, inside of the big box, should be only 4 small boxes of KIND bars. Because I kinda see it’s 40 cts. And one small box contains 10 bars. 🤗

[@1Ren1KouSu]

@@EnglishCoach3Ts I have one 20 mins drive away.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Very observant! Once I opened the big box I saw that the little boxes inside were package differently. It was 6 boxes of 8 - 48 count. I ended up with 58 bars!

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Twenty minutes isn't too bad, especially if you are going that way for something else. I only go to Trader Joes about 6-10 times a year when I need to go that direction for something else.

Hi Tanya! Thanks for sharing this fun video with us! I enjoy watching your real English stories. ^^ If you don't mind, I have two extra questions. 1. I'm wondering if "they are on their last legs" works just as well. I noticed that you used the singular form of "leg," but I feel that the plural makes more sense to me since it seems to agree with the plural pronoun "they." 2. Another question is that I'm curious about the differences between "can you relate to it" and "can you identify with it." Thank you for reading my comments and questions. I really appreciate your time! ❤

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Yes. You can use it singularly or plurally. That said, you can say that something plural is on it's last leg as a group. Does that make sense? Thank you for your comment.

[@debughosh1331]

Mam, I live in India. Here, the price of everything is increasing day by day. So we are worried about it. Uneplpoyment is increasing here. I have no idea about USA. Is there any unemployment problem in your country. I want to know it. What does unemployed person do in your locality ? Do all of you do work ? How does a person in your locality react when he has no work. Do not take it otherwise. I am very much qurious about the life style of USA.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

These are all excellent questions! Thank you for your comment. This is a lot to talk about so I will talk about this on my live this Saturday at 1:30pm Los Angeles, CA time. If you can't make it to the live it will be recorded and you can watch the recording. Let me know if you have any other questions about the American lifestyle.

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

I should have said, next Saturday not this Saturday.
