Yes, we have Heinz in Germany, but we are talking about a very different product here. Heinz Ketchup is basically tomato paste with sugar and water. Hela Ketchup still has those ingredients, but there are a lot more spices and such in it. Also, there are several different versions, from tomato to curry to garlic to spicy hot aso.

[@TheJanstyler]

Fun fact: The father of Heinz' founder was born in the town of Kallstadt in Germany. The same town that the Trump family (as in, the ex-president) came from. Which makes sense, since his mother was a born Trump before she married his father. Nothing special, just a weird fun fact I discovered by accident years ago xD

The lovely thing about the whole trolley thing is, during the pandemic they kept the trolleys unlocked (not sure why, l don't think it would have made much of a difference, you're already touching the trolley all over). And they were still brought back where they belong. Even nowadays you still have trolleys that aren't locked and people keep them unlocked but still park them in the proper location.

[@fenikkusu4893]

Yeah, my Aldi around the corner still has them unlocked, because not a single one during the pandemic was found on the parking lot or got stolen. So they just decided to keep them unlocked. A cashier told me, that they even save some time and nerves, because nobody is asking, if they could change their money for some coins to use the trolley.

[@Ceen328]

At the start of the first huge lockdown, they used the trolley as a counter for how many people were allowed to enter each store. That was regulated by the floor space of the shop. So smaller Aldis were allowed less people at the same time, than lager ones.

You're asking why German supermarkets are cheaper than British? Let me tell you this story. Once upon a time was a Isle, who was a proud member of the EU. Suddenly, the people were mislead by a demon called "Farage" and his fellows called Bojo and Reese-MOG. So the people decided to leave the EU and the single market. And suddenly, all things got more expensive. 😮

That's not the full story. In Germany there is a 1€ alcohol tax on a 0.7L bottle of wine, while the UK takes 2.75€ tax on the same bottle, with VAT that's 1,2€ vs 3,3€. So just that tax increases the price by almost 2 pounds.

Every German: Things have become so expensive!1!!! Every other person in the world: Why are things so cheap in Germany?

[@wandelndeslexikon1614]

To the Germans things seem so expensive, because we have the biggest low wage sector in Europe. The latest adjustments don't even cover the inflation.

[@DJone4one]

It is so cheap because large quantities are often purchased. (However, the packaging no longer contains as much as it used to). In the meantime, due to inflation, things have sometimes become twice as expensive and the contents have shrunk at the same time. And because most of it is made here in Germany. You also have to add a lot of import fees and the like to the item. That's why some British companies have emigrated to Europe since Brexit or have set up a subsidiary there, so that they can get into trade more easily. 14:47 The very cheap things are mostly foodstuffs that are produced in factories of 1000 pieces or more. The pretzels for €0.29 are produced by the million, frozen, baked and placed on the shelves. 15:50 Dickmann means fat man.

Supermarkets are honestly better and bigger (although more expensive) in the UK for the most part but the overall selection of high street stores and local shops in residential areas is much better in Germany imo. The pedestrianised areas in German town centres and in the middle of suburbs and boroughs are very family friendly, full of trees and large water features that kids can climb on with a lot of alfresco seating outside all the bistros and cafes. The quality of the food also seems better in Germany. Even fast food like mcdonalds is less greasy somehow.

To provide some clarity on cheese prices: They are usually per 100 grams, not per piece. 😉 In Germany we make a distinction between goods that can be bought already packaged and goods that can be bought fresh at the counter, packaged according to your wishes.

And in Glass usually means its fully Preserved so it can be used for Weeks or Months. Fresh Stuff is generally unpackaged in the Wooden Boxes and You get a small Plastic Bag to Pack how much You want ;) Also Germany is not really that Cheap. Its just that the UK went Crazy Expensive on alot of thing over the last 10 Years. Which is not that Surprising to be Honest. Because the UK is a Major Food Importer. Even alot of the UKs Processed Foods are made by using Raw Food Imported from Europe. After the UK Left the EU. This Import became alot more Expensive for the UK. Hence why the UKs Food Prices really went up alot. Something to be Noted. Not all Grocery Stores in Germany have all of these other Shops. Most have a Bakery and a Butchery.

And here in America the few places that do it it's a quarter that you put in, 25 cents 6:48 The year 2000 was the last time I was in France, but while we were staying in Perpignon France, We went to what was listed as the casino but that was the grocery store and while we were there we were looking at all kinds of things and found wine really cheap, so we started looking for the cheapest wine that we could find and we found a half a liter bottle of wine for $0.05, I don't drink my friend did We went ahead and bought a bottle and she said that she couldn't tell it apart from other wines she had drank. It was in a plastic bottle with a screw on top but it was $0.05. When we went on a drive to Spain while driving there we took a detour to a winery, and out front they had what looked like gas pumps but it wasn't for gas it was for wine if you brought your own containers and there were like six different varieties to choose from and each one just had a different price on it and you'd buy it the same way that you'd buy gas.

Be prepared for food sticker shock when you come to the USA. I go to UK every other year. And when I go to the markets, I still can't believe how inexpensive your food is and that it's SUCH high quality. And again, the milk is SO good. Our milk (homogenized) tastes burnt to me when I get back from EU/UK because of how high temp we sterilize our milk. It takes me a month before it starts to taste 'normalish' back here. Wait until you go to the packie (What we call liquor/spirit stores in MA, package stores) I think they are called all sorts of things depending on the state you are in. Here our Wine and spirits are very pricey. Even cheap wine starts at about $12

The most of the time he says Dollars, it's Euro, 2 € are 2,15 US Dollar or probably more. It's not so cheap here in Germany anymore. We do have Heinz Ketchup but without corn sirup. The products we have are mostly with normal sugar.

[@bjornweis6127]

I don't know where this guy is shopping, but shopping in Germany is way more expensive than what he shows.

[@raginio]

Yeah, most Haribo packages cost 1,29€ these days😭

[@Dreatnought1966]

If you can't get the spice ketchup from Hela, here is the recipe for making curry sauce. 500 ml pureed tomatoes, 200 ml cola, let simmer gently for 30 minutes. Then add 40 grams of curry powder, 10 grams of salt, 100 grams of brown sugar, 2 grams of cinnamon powder, 1 gram of nutmeg powder, 5 grams of chili powder. This ketchup is already ready, guten Appetit.

10:26 the product had several names, but the name he is reffering to is the old name "n*gerküsse" (translated more or less to "kisses of a n-word") or mohrenkopf (translated more or less "head of a mohr" (mohr is another german person for people from africa, coming from the muslim states in north africa and iberia which were called "mauren" in german)

[@torstenmuller8477]

😂Warum schreiben Sie Negerküsse nicht aus ? Daran ist überhaupt nichts verwerflich . Das Wort Neger ist abgeleitet aus dem lateinischen und bezeichnet die Farbe Schwarz/ Dunkel . Peopel of Color ist bloß eine andere Umschreibung . Zudem wird dies im spanischen und portugiesischen Sprachgebrauch verwendet, zb Negros und andere Ableitungen . Oder sind die dann generell rassistisch eingestellt ? Diese politische Überkorrektheit ist einfach zum kotzen !

[@HenryLoenwind]

One small correction: Not the Ni-word, but the Ne-word, the one that's simply "black" in Latin and only got tainted by what the US did.

[@soewenue]

@HenryLoenwind yeah u are right. Have read a bit about the Evolution of the latin word "niger" and would now say the "best translation" would be the english term "negro" or? Still not a real translation, but would say it is the closest we have. Don't know if u can answer it, but I assume Ur first language is english based on the name Henry

[@dannyf359]

Haribo is product in germany it is made in Bonn germany

[@YukiTheOkami]

our haribo now also is verry expensive i feel like sweets and candy got hit the hardest by inflation especialy price value whise ots like its between 20 and 100 % more expensive than 2 years ago and when they noticed they couldnt raise the visible price any longer they chose either shrinkflation or scamflation(using worse ingredients) and my dad still speaks of adding a sugar tax lmao (hes not smart)

[@DianeCasanova]

There are a handful of states in USA that recycle bottles and cans. Aldi carts cost a quarter. Not everyone takes their quarter out when returned.

[@mogelkaiser1876]

14:18 i swear those pizzas are so fking delicious! few years ago when i was still in school we went to kaufland at the lunch break every day just for those pizzas!

[@shadowemperor2825]

aye bro if u go to kaufland on sunday there is a massive sale like fruits vegetables meats and all that get cut to half the price

[@Bejaphone]

Nice try😂

[@thomasd5]

I am German and actually live in this city where this market is. It's an old market, that previously belonged to another chain. If you think those prices are low, you should go to a supermarket in Eastern Europe, like Poland or Romania. I was in Romania around two years ago, and if you go to the Kaufland there, it's much cheaper than the supermarkets here in Germany. And we have lots of different Bread. The German Bread Register counts 3551 different sorts of bread.

[@Milleypede-k6b]

we actually got rid of the money slot in the trolleys, it's just common practice to bring them back

[@christianbuttner7933]

That wine is that cheap, because You get a discount for the heavy hangover you'll suffer. "Château Migraine", so true

[@glaubhafieber]

That’s why so many swiss ho shopping in germany and germans working in Switzerland. One has high wages and high grocery prices, the other is cheaper. Have more money and spend less means more money left for travel and other fun activities

[@scarlettdevina7054]

Heinz Ketchup was founded in the US by a German immigrant…. We do have that here yes 😅

[@EsterHorbach-it9tb]

What he's showing is a small mall with various shops and the grocery store Kaufland.

[@erythreas34]

In my city most of the carts aren't even locked. Still no one leaves them around.

[@kiwi_ediz]

this is like a shopping center and not only a grocery store this is not usuall

[@celinaavocado6334]

Things in the supermarket used to be cheaper than they are now. Inflation has made things more expensive in Germany, as the Euro we use to pay for things is worth less than it actually was. The red slips of paper with prices on them are things that are currently on offer because they won't last long. That's why you pay half as much. But these red prices used to be the normal prices for the items. A Milka bar used to cost 0.99 euros in Germany and when it was reduced, it only cost 0.35 euros. Things aren't as cheap as you think in Germany. That's just one example with the Milka bar. You used to pay a total of 90 euros for a completely full shopping cart and now you have to pay 150-200 euros or much more for a completely full shopping cart.

[@roodimentaer6339]

We not only have Heinz in Germany, the founder was from Germany.

[@Tim2g]

the crazy part is all of the prices you see uppened by 100% last few years

[@CoL_Drake]

ever thought about checking some oft he cities out via street view ? i always find its an amazing way to learn about a city :)

[@FunkyBuddha81]

Yeah these kind of stores are like a mini mall, you can find them mostly in smaller cities.

[@eXpG_Harlock]

Kaufland is pretty neat. They build the stores bigger and add small "stores" that they rent to smaller buisnesses. These smaller buisnesses can then profit from the people passing by on the way to buy food. Kaufland gets extra money and the shops gets more customers. Pretty smart.

[@jessyselbmann5205]

"dick" in german just means "fat" so he was saying the sausage was pretty fat like in size. It's actually pretty funny because most native English-speaking people are always reacting so funny when you say "dick" in a german sentence, they always get so confused and are like:" is this inappropriate?" 😂
