Grocery Shopping in Finland at Prisma

[@sarass9341]

This is great K! Before I came to Finland I religiously watched these kind of videos 😂 they just give a good idea of what is to be expected in a new country 👍🏻

[@kdoesvlogging]

Thank you, Sara! Yeah, trying to make useful contents for everyone interested in Finland.

[@avavanhuyssteen5621]

Thanks K! Exchange student here, your videos are very helpful for my pre-trip budget

[@lolilolicapop]

Thank you for this video! I needed this info so much! 🥰

[@SgtJoeSmith]

we call that a walmart in usa

[@just42tube]

It is in some ways a mistake to assume that this is similar to Walmart in USA. It's ownership has different structure and history. Prisma stores are one part of the S Group. It is a brand name they use about their supermarkets. S Group is a customer -owned Finnish network of companies in the retail and service sectors, with more than 1,900 outlets in Finland. S Group consists of cooperatives and SOK with it's subsidiaries, which engage in travel and hospitality businesses in Estonia among other operations.

"Appelsiini", the word for "Orange" the fruit is a loan word from Dutch through German: Appelsina - "appel", apple + "sina", china = "chinese apple". Later on, the word for the color orange was adopted as "oranssi".

18:07 these are actually baby food!🥰 different tastes, for example potato and mango

[@rubendaniel249]

Hello beautiful, how are you doing today.

[@kdoesvlogging]

thank you for the information. 🥹 I didn’t know about it.

[@amadeuz819]

@@kdoesvloggingMany buy the baby food, like the fruit things can be better than some jam because its less sugar and not so sweet.

[@aleksashak]

Thank you so much for the video! Coming to Vaasa soon. Very useful!!🎉

Welcome to Vaasa ✨

Hello beautiful, how are you doing today.

[@uritae3882]

I got to learn a new thing. Thankies and may I ask if you also need to bring those plastic bags you used for weight checking?

[@kdoesvlogging]

Glad to know the video was helpful. 😁 You don’t necessarily need to use the plastic bag if there is not a lot to put. For example, at 11:23, you can see i just put the price sticker on ginger directly ‘cuz it’s only one piece.

[@freezedeve3119]

plastic bags used for weighting items are provided by store and are 'free' though you pay for those weight too.

[@dennisa6132]

I recognize that Prisma, we used to go there before but now they opened the new one in Liselund we go there because it's closer. Sometimes we swing by but they rearranged it, or like they are still rearranging after half a year last time I went.

[@tonibufu6103]

In many Finnish cities, you have option, to use local supermarkets, or smaller markets and specialty stores, like a shoe store, for example. Or if you need, you can also use super market and some specialty store. Difference is product and service offerings.

[@nafeealam5787]

Best Finnish supermarket vlog. Very informative, I have checked other vlogs. I found them utterly boring and useless. Keep up the good work. And Thankyou

[@kdoesvlogging]

thanks a lot! your comment encourages me a lot to do more. 🥰

[@olgataran5745]

[@wintertaehyung2749]

[@kekamirza]

[@sarass9341]

Nice one please make more grocery store and market videos.

[@asifimran3610]

Hi how is vaasa area for students part time job.. Is it possible paying varsity fee nd Living cost doing part time jobs

[@kdoesvlogging]

I just made a video about finding part time jobs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYmqemWFhNGSb7csi=cwGehaIl8SdFSbhL But in general, part-time jobs can cost cover the living cost but for full university fees, it can be a bit challenging unless you have a great paying part-time job.

Maito juoma == Milk drink, so not milk but should be similar for the ones not able to drink milk. Lauantai makkara == Saturday sausage.

Where are you in Finland? I like the big pine trees, it looks like your in the country

[@fardousnoor605]

[@shanierez8017]

YOU ARE FINNISH?

[@Sunshine-kn9rr]

Hi i want to meet you..I'm in vaasa now😊

[@kdoesvlogging]

Oh, i see. I am actually in another city at the moment.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Hi! If you want to lose weight cut the sugar. No more coka cola etc...

[@overlord-t6x]

I have two questions: 1. If my sponsor's monthly income is 10,000 USD, how much money does he have to keep in his bank account before he sends me the money for living expenses to my bank account? 2. I need your advice. I have received an offer letter from LAB University of Applied Sciences, Lahti, Finland. My tuition fee is 6400 euros for the first year. 4000 euros from the second year onwards. So my question is: When going to Finland, I should bring a backup with 5-6 months of expenses; after that, I have to pay my own expenses. So if I live in Helsinki, can I take my classes from Helsinki to Lahti? Also, if I live in Helsinki, can I pay my tuition fees by working part-time? My family can pay a maximum of 2000 euros for tuition fees (from the second year onward). Should I move forward?

[@ajewolemayokun7696]

Please I am interested in this answer, Thank you

[@kdoesvlogging]

@user-yr1lg4jh4k 1. I am not so sure about this question. 2. I would answer YES to both of the questions here. I have some friends who stay in Helsinki area and go to classes in Lahti or any other nearby cities as it is easier for working. So it is possible to take classes like that. For the second part, as your tuition fees for second year onwards is 4000 and your family will support 2000, it is possible to find the rest 2000 from part-time jobs if you do not spend a lot. However, rent in Helsinki could be expensive so if you can find housemates who are willing to share the apartment with you, it can be more affordable.

[@just42tube]

2st question: It is up to your sponsor to decide how to manage his finances. Finnish immigration permit process rules don't have such simple mechanical rules for the financial sponsor own finances. There needs to be reasonable proof that the funds are from legal sources and the sponsor actually can afford to give financial support.

[@just42tube]

Commuting daily between Helsinki and Lahti is something that some people do. I wouldn't recommend it except is rare situations. Such daily commuting takes a lot of time and adds a unnecessary additional cost. Housing in Helsinki is likely to be more expensive than in Lahti, so living in Helsinki wouldn't make much sense either.

[@Jenny123jw]

I am also from myanmar.

[@TheMidasMD]

How do you cope in Finland if all you speak is English and you do not understand Finnish?? Is it going to be very tough to survive??

[@kdoesvlogging]

Not really because many people here speak English, almost all the employees in restaurants and shops.

[@just42tube]

Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish, which everyone studies at school. In addition to that they study 1 or more foreign languages. English is the most commonly studied foreign language. Of course having studied some language at school doesn't always mean that everyone has sufficient skills that they want to speak it. Speaking needs some practice and not everyone has needed to use English enough to become fluent.

[@mikrokupu]

@@kdoesvlogging And in Helsinki, it sometimes happens that the service is only available in English, personally I don't mind :) A lot of immigrants work in the service industry, fluency in Finnish is usually not required. On Finnair flights to Singapore or to Hong Kong the cabin cew don't speak Finnish/Swedish, they are all based in Asia.
