Thank you for sharing the expenses friend . It is really interesting from start to finish. You are pretty like me 😊😊

[@oishari]

[@FeinDining]

Yay! Food and the cost of food -- our two favorite things 😁Yup, as we kinda expected... things are more expensive there! Loved seeing the running total. We're in the South so we're definitely saving a few bucks. But that being said, you get to eat NYC restaurant food, and that's basically the food capital of the world. So that part is totally worth the expense in our book. You only live once, right 😁 But what's with the shopping list on PAPER?? 😂 Also, do you shop at TJ's? That's our favorite store on earth...

[@oishari]

haha about the paper list, i'm old school like that lol....yes I do buy food from TJ's sometimes :) . thanks for stopping by!

[@FeinDining]

[@garrycommander9351]

thanks for the video i so glad see the truth or see smart people( because for some reason my cousin spending 62 to dollars per week in NYC) I'm ask for my self how he do that. I maybe going to NYC in 2024 for doing college and I will need save money and this stuffs glad to see that video and learn how to do that. and i have one question how much do you spend at costco ? the same price do you spend and h-mart?

[@oishari]

Hello! Costco is the cheapest but they sell in bulk and big sizes. So we prioritize non-food supplies at Costco like tissue paper, laundry detergent, dishwashing etc. We stock up on those so we don’t have to keep buying them. You can also get big sizes of meat at Costco for less (if you have space in the refrigerator. ) So when we do groceries every 2 weeks, we only worry about food. Depending on where you stay, the nearest local grocery store to you might be cheaper or similar price to Hmart/Target. Trader Joes is actually not so expensive too. (Whole Foods has the expensive stuff I think.)

[@bonecrusher9745]

You are absolutely amazing. Do you stock up on water? Can you possibly do more in store videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping

[@oishari]

Thank you!! They say tap water is safe to drink here, so we just use a filtering pitcher. Thanks, what are you interested to see shopping-wise? :)

[@PershijsmachnijKherson]

Hello, great job, well done video, good luck 💎

[@SheSweetLikSugarNSavage]

That's not bad. I'm watching from Louisiana and our grocery here runs about the same. The whole wheat bread was a little high, but due to the style and quality you choose not really. I've paid more for eggs here. Yours were $6.99 for cage free organic. Here those will run $5.99. But for the Vital egg brands I'll pay 10.99 for an 18 count brown farm eggs. The salmon in your video was very high, by almost $10 more than I would have been charged in Louisiana. The spinach I saw was $.050 higher. Starbucks is the same here in price. And tonight Nov 28, 2023 I made an late errand run and picked up spicy chicken lomein at a local restaurant. Its a classic little place... but the total was $11.30 for one. So over all I'd say the prices look pretty much the same regardless if you're in N.Y. or Louisiana. Oh milk here is $3.49 for the cheaper store brand. And $8.49 for fair life, or horizon brand. I only buy the Horizon. Better quality, fuller body, doesn't expire as fast.

Rent video can you link please

[@ellenm4269]

Really nice video but not realistic. I live in Manhattan and most of us Do Not have cars. Add fuel and tolls to your total. I have to stay within the city walk or take transit and carry my food home. I agree with what you said about Dollar Tree but there is only 1 in all of Manhattan. So going there is not practical for most. This being said could you have gotten the same products at the H-mart here in Manhattan and spent the same?

[@pedromax6878]

How much 1 kilo of onion?this price is the actual price you pay in cashiers or excluding tax?

[@oishari]

The price i put in the video is the actual price paid based on the receipt… onion is around $1.65 per pound, since its pounds in US

Ignore the junk food and learn how to make your own at home. It's really cost effective and healthy. Use your freezer.

Ok, for people who don’t have cars but want to check out Hmart or Asian groceries, I have included the Manhattan locations in the video and also mentioned there are also cheaper groceries in Queens. These locations are all accessible by subway. When I lived in Queens, I used to take the subway and carry my groceries back as well so I know it is very accessible.

Very expensive , i lived in UK for a while and is in my opinion 50% cheaper there or even more, now im in Poland and we have food about 200% cheaper then You. America its so rich so food should be much cheaper, at least UK level. HOW 2 onions can cost 2,50$ ?? HOW and WHY 3potatos can cost 3.51$ ? (in UK 1$ for 1 kg , in Poland 20cents for 1 KG) im going for holiday to NY and im little worry.
