Interesting to learn about the prices of your food! Many things are cheaper where you live, although fruit and vegetables are roughly comparable in price. Cucumbers, on the other hand, are still more expensive here in Germany at the moment, although they have always been cheap in season in recent years or even decades and there are plenty of them! On the other hand, it is striking that baked goods such as bread are much cheaper in Russia! 🤔😊

[@RusGirlVlog]

because bread is really important, that's why our government always restrains bread prices. But if I go to a private bakery, then bread prices are way higher there.

[@luigi_lattementa]

Have you noticed an increase in food prices over the past year? I just watched your video that you make the equivalent of $300 US dollars a month. So the percent of your salary that goes towards a basic need of food is way higher. Research has been done that shows 60.4% of Russians spend at least half of their salary on food. This is CRAZY.

@@nikomollov4950 I still don't understand why people always mention natural resources. I don't work with natural resources, I don't sell them, so my salary doesn't connect to them.

[@nikomollov4950]

​@@RusGirlVlog When a country is so rich in resources it has effect on the whole country. It's not just you, your whole country is poor. You should have better roads and higher pensions. Where does the money from selling natural resources go? Your economy is smaller than a small country like Italy. There's something wrong there. Why do you have the most natural resources but the country is so poor. Doesn't it seem wrong to you? In every normal country people would care a lot about this and would want higher pensions and salaries. Something is wrong with the mentality of the russians. You are not demanding from the government. You just accept your miserable life. Nowhere else is like this. Everywhere people demand and protest for better life. Your country is selling natural resources but money don't reach to the people in any form and you have no problem with that.

@@RusGirlVlog It's really a low salary. I have 1900 euros , isn't considered to be much in France but because I am living in the countryside is ok. The lowest salary is about 1300 euros. If you don't work there's a social income called RSA , about 600 euros. The prices for the food are maybe 10% higher but depends. The transportation and housing are expensive. I emigrated from Romania so there the salaries are lower: my sister has about 900 euros as secretary , my mother pension is 440 euros and my father has 550 euros. The prices are the same as in Russia at the first glance. It's mind-blowing for me that Russia didn't succeeded to increase the income like in the eastern Europe ( same communist heritage and painful aftermath in the 90') with all the resources available.

@@RusGirlVlog hi thanks for reply and video. I meant electronic e-ink pricing labels versus printed ones. Been around for years here in my tiny mediocre town on the other side of the world, I thought they were the norm. how much is the average 2 litres of cookies and cream ice cream in russia?

[@RusGirlVlog]

@@blengi yeah, I got your point about e-labels, but I really never seen them anywhere in Russia. About cookies, they are measured in kilos, not in liters. Their price starts with 150-300 rub ($1.67-$3.33, following today's dollar rate) and they also can be more expensive. The smallest ice cream is 70 grams and its price starts with 31 rub ($0.34). I don't know if you can find a liter of ice cream here, because jars with ice cream are mostly 135-475 g and I just checked that supermarket app, their prices are 140-489 rub ($1.56-$5.43). If I check other supermarkets, then of course, I can find more expensive ice cream. For example, I just checked a website of our premium supermarket, the most expensive ice cream there is a kilo and half and its price 2950 rub ($32.78).

[@1witt194]

Allot of your viewers are in the US and you might want to let them know that you are measuring in Kr not pounds. It halves the price. Comparing prices is only good if you compare income and other bills you don't pay that we do or that you pay and we don't . I'm American but I've lived in several parts of Russia so I'm not trying to be critical. I like your posts. Just as a reference point... if you work at the lowest paid job in my town 40 hours a week (our standard) you will make the same as 225,000 Rb a Month. That said we pay more for nearly everything and are guaranteed nothing.

[@shadowflash705]

It's far more complicated than that. You need to take other things into account - for example in Russia most people *own* their flats and houses. And utility payments are *waaay* lower - you pay about 120-150 bucks for everything including internet, cell phone and even a few subscription services, while my friends from US pay more for internet and cell phone alone. And also you pay a "huge" tax for your place - 15-60 bucks... a year. A few people even live on social rent, their flats are owned by the state and they pay nothing but utility bills. That makes a huge difference in purchasing power - in the US making 4k/month means that you're kinda poor, in Russia 1k/month is more than enough for one person, 2k - you'll live like a king if you're alone or it's quite enough for the family of 3 for decent living. And that's Moscow aka *the* most expensive city in the country. While my friends from SoCal (Long Beach) are struggling because after serious car accident only one family member have a full time job and it's only 46k/year. And good luck living on 5-6k/month in NYC. Been there, done that. The only problem in Russia is that in remote villages and towns salaries can be rather meh. On other hand rent prices and utility bills there are much lower so people who work remotely, like IT guys often exploit that, imagine making 4-5k/month and renting 3 bedroom appartment for 500 bucks, paying much less for public transportation, restaurants will be also much cheaper etc-etc.
