I'd really love to see more videos like this! I always find it exciting to see grocery culture in other countries ❤

[@jordanfrost4063]

Great video! 👍 I’m visiting Reykjavik in a couple of weeks and trying to determine what foods I’ll be living off 😂

[@bypatriciajones]

hope you love it! Food can be really good here don't let the prices scare you ahah

[@withoutlimitsbudgets]

Great job on your grocery shopping! Prices are climbing astronomically here in the United States as well 12:09

[@bypatriciajones]

thank you!! They are everywhere it's insane

I've been to Iceland once and remember the high food prices (especially eating out), but at least the ice is free. 🙂 What you bought is on the high side, but I wouldn't say it's that much more expensive than what I might spend in my part of the world (California). The breakfast cereal you bought may even be cheaper, although I do buy smaller boxes.

[@Tryingmybestupnorth]

A box of cereals in northern Quebec is between $6.99 to $8.99, so far most of the food is much cheaper in Iceland that in Quebec Canada.

[@bypatriciajones]

I'm shocked with those prices!!

I live in Vaasa, a city in the west coast of Finland, facing Sweden. I had heard Icelandic grocery prices were quite expensive, but now I watch your video I was surprised prices here in Vaasa are more expensive! 😧 Of course, not that much, just 15-20 €, but more nonetheless. And I live in a middle sized city. In Helsinki, Tampere or Turku those products would be even more expensive! Maybe the only price that really made me gasp (*gasp!*) were the carrots, the rest seemed affordable for me.

[@bypatriciajones]

They can be a lot more expensive! This is the most budget-friendly that you can get. But still, I also believe that now things are not super expensive compared to other places but that's mostly due to inflation as prices in Iceland remain mostly controlled.

[@AbnerIMAlvarado]

@@bypatriciajones Oh, I'm taking that into account, that Bonus is "cheap" there. I'm comparing it with the prices of Lidl, the cheapest of the four supermarkets here. In Prisma I'd spend 15-20% more for the same products from Lidl. Yes, after war prices here went up and every year money buys less and less goods. Nice that Icelandic government managed to control inflation there!

[@bypatriciajones]

@@AbnerIMAlvarado yes yes! definitely the lidl or Aldi of iceland only with way less variety 😂

[@bypatriciajones]

thank you soo much!

[@shellbeee4325]

We’re visiting Iceland soon and was worried about the high prices everyones been telling me about, but I’m really surprised to see most of these are the same if not cheaper than where we live in new hampshire usa!

[@sikusuyu]

Same. It's actually cheaper but then again this is the cheapest market and it equals our norm

[@ericyuan9718]

The only thing I'd consider cheap is the cereal. For that amount of cornflakes in Toronto, Canada, it would cost $6 ($4.50 USD)

[@bypatriciajones]

oh god that's a lot

[@nathgoody5905]

Bonus Frozen pizza Frozen fries Milk extra vit D Spinach Oranges Carrots Maggi Popcorn Butter Cornflakes

[@denisewiebrimmer454]
