Hi friendsss! :) Today we're going grocery shopping in Italy and doing a little price comparison between shopping on base at the commissary and shopping off base on the enconomy. Which do you think will be cheaper? I would love to do this type of video again however next time maybe buying the exact same items and do a price/size comparison, see which one you get the most bang for your buck! Let me know what you think! :)

barilla is an italian brand...

I love that everyone is not allowed to touch the produce in Italy! And in the smaller town markets, there is usually someone behind the counter with gloves handing out the produce. As for the eggs, they are fine unrefrigerated. We never refrigerated eggs in the US either until about the late 70's or early 80's. And THAT was weird at first.

perchè un supermercato italiano dovrebbe avere un grande assortimento di cibi messicani ? C'è una legge della domanda offerta, se poche persone comprano il cibo deve essere buttato ? già c'è un enorme scarto di prodotti in generale e se un supermercato italiano dovesse tenere tutte le specialità del mondo, non richieste, come minimo chiude dopo pochi giorni per fallimento

[@819theresa]

I like that you shared your grocery experience on the economy and what they offer compared to the commissary. When we were stationed overseas in England and Germany we would do the same thing.

i loooove getting fruit off base, yes it spoils faster BUT it tastes SO MUCH BETTER. and honestly, i don’t buy ice cream on base anymore either because i can get a giant thing of gelato at aldi for like €2 and again, it’s not a fancy flavor but it’s tastes much better to me! 😂

[@autflaten]

Your channel has been so helpful. My husband and I PCS to Aviano next month!

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

Thank you so much💛 Happy PCSing🥳

Pretty similar in France (carts, bags for veggies, for the checkout sometimes you have to scan the ticket too). But for example when you scan items by yourself the ticket go out at the end. As I went to Italy a few time i wasn't so lost about it ahah. So cool to see how in every country everything is different, except in Europe where it's practically the same in a lot of countries. So excited to see your next video! can't wait for you to visit Europe and maybe come to south of France, hopefully I can see you soon. Have an awesome day, bye :)

[@madelynr5459]

Hey Brittany! Thank you for posting again! I enjoy your videos, they’ve helped me so much! Especially since my boyfriend and I are just beginning the military life!

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

Thank you for being here💛 You guys will do great!☺️

[@teniajohnson9739]

This Video was really helpful

[@theyorks6981]

A farmer told me. When you don’t wash eggs or refrigerate them when they are laid it can stay good up for months. The moment you wash them you have ti out the em in the fridge..

[@cinziaalbini3676]

The eggs are OK. We don't need refrigerated them because in Italy they don't wash eggs before

[@alyssafrank830]

Omg when I studied abroad in Rome in 2018 the Maschio brand Pinot Rosa was our favorite!! So cheap and good lol love your video

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

Thank you!!💛

[@beckyjcorona]

so interesting how cheddar cheese isn't common in Italy. also the scanning your receipt when you leave the store is so insane to me lol. Def a super in detailed video and I'm sure it's going to be so helpful for people moving there. Also good to know just in general! Can't wait for your next video!

[@alessandrom7181]

Why should cheddar be common in Italy ?? LOL Here we are in Italy and we have something like 500 types of cheeses.

[@beaconeersofthesevenmaps3467]

Is that even a cheese?😂

[@wellaciccio2362]

There is no need to be rude. Cheddar cheese is mainly English and it is a proper cheese. I am Italian too. It is just not a custom to eat cheddar cheese in Italy - that is it, just like many French or Spanish cheeses. Chill out@@alessandrom7181

[@larissa_7729]

$49 in the states will get you maybe a couple drinks and two other items

[@carolvasseurscanu1893]

Wow girl.... You are in the land of NO OMG! You should be buying everything you can off base! Eggs do NOT need to be refrigerated. You will find 4 kinds. Your typical farmed chickens that live in the cage all their life. The kind that live on a warehouse floor and the kind that you would call free-range. In any case no ogm.

[@beckyjcorona]

notification gang ;)

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

I love you girl💗💗💗

[@airbusthreethirty3416]

Forgot to ask you a question about life on Aviano AB. Do the F16 (?) jets occasionally takeoff at, say, 2, 3 or 4 am in full afterburner when they are participating in some military exercise? And are the on-base quarters soundproofed to some extent for just that reason? Hope all is well.

[@airbusthreethirty3416]

Really enjoyed watching this video Brittany. I was really surprised that meats, cream cheese and a few other things are actually cheaper off base than at the Aviano commissary! I’m assuming here (bad to do, I know) that the Aviano AB commissary and BX are operated by the AAFES. I would think that the US DOD, via AAFES, would help “subsidise” the cost of groceries for US military personnel stationed overseas, but maybe not. You showed the haul from the commissary that cost $57!!! That’s a lot of money, considering there wasn’t any meat in there. Also, Wal Mart needs to install those receipt scanners near the exit doors so they don’t need someone to visually inspect *every single receipt * as we leave the store. LOL. Hope you and your husband are enjoying your assignment at Aviano. Sorry for rambling.

[@joshuacanter477]

I actually just pcs’d to Aviano so this pretty useful 😂 😅

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

Yay! Welcome☺️ I have quite a few other “Aviano” videos as well, feel free to check them out and don’t forget to subscribe💛

[@teniajohnson9739]

Can you purchase those bags and bring them With you? Also I love how they w with and as a price

[@xtremayne]

Never put eggs in the fridge and conad is quite an expensive supermarket

[@BrynjaLives]

What does the gluten free scene look like both on and off base? :D

[@phoenixrising55]

I’ll be moving there in early next year and I was wondering if you could give me some pointers this is our first oconus move thank you so much in advance 🙏

[@UltimateFoxUnit]

Can I, an Italian, go and visit the shop in the base?

[@wellaciccio2362]

Just a remark: Barilla is an Italian brand that has business in the states and not the other way around? Also - you can buy non refrigerated eggs - chicken are vaccinated.

[@RenaandINewtv-fu2er]

The shopping comparison was not fair. The items were all different. The choices did not make purely lasting weekly meals.

[@mich0439]

I think you do have to use gloves in the bakery section

[@munchikinbanana]

uhmm ma'am, it's a scallop...

[@beckyjcorona]

commenting as I go

[@brittanyyycampbelll]

Oh it was a learning curve for sure! Walking up to the register and we’re both just staring at eachother like 😶

[@ccreina9472]

I see, so in the entire world they think that all Latin Americans are Mexicans....

[@3125234302]

HEY YANKEE. THIS IS ALL WRONG. YOU CAN NOT COMPARE THE PRICES OF ITALIAN CIVILIAN SUPERMARKET WITH AN AMERICA MILITARY BASE. THE PRICES ON BASE ARE LOWER. COMPARE THE COMMISSARY PRICES WITH AMERICAN CIVILIAN SUPERMARKET AND SEE A WHOLE DIFFERENCE. TRY TO BE MORE HONEST. SEE YOU YANKEE.
