Russian (Low Income) Food Market: SMART Supermarket

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Recently I visited a EuroSPAR Supermarket in Moscow (kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-9coyCpZqkiMk) Whilst walking in that store, a shopper told me about this place. Which is owned by the same people. Thanks to a subscriber for recommending I visit this place. These stores are called "Hard Discount" Supermarkets in Russia. Do these stores exist in other countries?

Looks small from the outside but spacious on the inside. The Russian community supermarket is just absolutely amazing. I like this kind of concept store.

Beer is made with so many cheap and abundant grains and hops found in Russia. In Russia its usually drunk in conjunction with food and unlike other countries rarely drunk with the intention of just getting drunk. Thats what Vodka is for. Have you tried Kvas? A unique Russian treat.

In March 2021, Sladkaya Zhizn opened its first Smart discounter in Nizhny Novgorod. Already in the first year, we managed to create a network of 30 discount stores with a presence in 14 cities of Russia. Today, Smart discounters are not just a chain of stores, they are part of the lives of millions of customers who love and trust Smart. More than 1,500,000 customers make purchases in Smart stores every month. Smart has its own unique format. The slogan of the Smart store chain is low prices for a better life.

The Dutch company licenses out its brand to other companies. Stores in South Africa, Ireland, Switzerland, and Poland are operated by Spar Group in Johannesburg.

Thank you for sharing this with everyone! I love this store...the layout is spacious and not cramped like many stores in the US.

Just out of curiosity, one thing that I haven't seen in any of your supermarket videos are electric carts for the disabled. Do they have them in Russian stores? Thank you!

[@ronnieorourke2599]

I shop at Aldi in the US, which is similar in concept to Smart. The prices at Smart are much, much lower than in the US, but I don't know how grocery prices compare as a percentage of income. In other words, if Russian wages are lower than US wages when converted to dollars, the grocery prices may be a similar percentage of that total. I saw the Smart watermelons at 60 rubles (less than $1), and a recent price here at Walmart was $6.78 for one watermelon. If there are indeed sanctions on food brands, maybe the fact that Smart/Eurospar is a Dutch company makes the difference. The products may be sold to the Dutch, who then distribute the products to their stores in Russia. But that's just a guess.

[@BlueCrankshaft]

And also, in Russia you can go to the market and buy vegetables and fruits 15-25% cheaper than in stores. Eggs and meat too))

Excellent video... a different concept... even below Aldi etc Is there much home delivery of groceries for in store shopping.

[@PycMixail]

in Russia there is home delivery of any goods.

[@creamthelapin]

What I find fascinating watching more and more of your videos is that we are all effectively paying the same for groceries/fast moving products across Europe and Russia. What I mean is things cost less in Russia but people also get paid less, so it all works out in real terms. Comparing to my shop in Lidl in the UK it's therefore basically the same prices here for similar products.

In Russia, salaries are similar to English ones. In Russia, a welder can receive 70,000 of rubles or maybe 500,000 of rubles.
