Stock Our Fridge With Us at A 🇫🇮 Finnish Grocery Store | How Much Do Groceries Cost in Finland?

[@Lumi_szh]

It is so interesting to see different varieties in supermarkets

[@Kerppu68]

It's funny your hubby picked all the products from behind. He knows something... I do that too, occasionally

[@blechtic]

It only makes sense if you're planning to store them longer. If you're eating the food soon anyway, it's not going to matter. And if everyone always took the last one, you'd have even more food being wasted.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Hehe. I've started to do it too at times :D

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

That's true, good point!

[@jennaraatikainen1848]

This is such a finnish thing to do. There is a saying that you should never take the first one, basically everyone touches the first one and you don`t want to have that 😂

[@annwatson6733]

🙄 weirdo

[@nathaliedasilva555]

I'm in Ontario Canada and It's always fun to see what is popular to eat in other countries. I would like Finland for sure. I'm a big cheese and rye bread person. Blood orange juice sounds divine! The convenience/ready made foods look really tasty and legit.

[@NurikoChocola]

Finnish rye bread isn´t sweet. It is more sour and chewy. If you get a chance get Reissumies or Vaasan rye bread, it is peak finnish ryebread

[@sylmin4973]

Nice guide to shopping at a supermarket in Finland. Like the little explanations on the products

[@killabrownell6266]

Good to know that I am NOT the only one who gets items from the back and never the first one..."cause ppl touching it" love when he said that lmao.

[@lassesaikkonen501]

My favorite dip powder is Estrella Tzatsiki. Nothing else even comes close.

[@davidw2739]

Haha, I also grab items from the back/bottom, but mostly just things in the refrigerated section.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Does make sense when you think about it!

[@OldForestWitch]

Kermajuusto isn't a gouda-type cheese, it's a havarti-type cheese. Viili isn't sour cream. It's viili. Sour cream is a different thing that is best replaced with créme fraîche or smetana. S chain stores are far less expensive and give much higher bonuses & money back.

[@mandi3891]

They picked up kermaviili, not viili. Kermaviili is sourcream.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Seems like we'll have to visit a S chain store next.

[@HijaDeMariachi]

Picks up chips: how do you say that? "kypsytetty juusto merisuola".....oh my gosh, yeah, okay. That translation blew me away.😂 Great vids! 😊

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Something cheese and sea salt 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@Mama-tea]

In Scotland we don’t refrigerate eggs

[@GrapeCheez2]

Eggs not be refrigerated is wild to me. 😲 I saw so many things I would like to try & groceries look good. Although that rice stuff that you said smelled like dog food made me 😅.

[@GregB-f1x]

They don't wash off the natural protective coating that eggs have, unlike the US.

[@jtekholm]

@@GregB-f1x Yeah, and the eggs stay good WAY, WAY past the "best by date".

[@GregB-f1x]

👍👍👍

[@letsandiamo]

That cucumber was so expensive!

[@freezedeve3119]

seasonal product, those can be pretty expensive on winter

[@jahanas22]

The leipäjuusto looked good. I’ve had similar ones with mozzarella and Italian seasoning.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Nice! I’ve never had savory versions of leipäjuusto.

Tell your husband I like to touch all the packages in the row every time I pick something out.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

His response: 🤨

[@pattyk101]

@@FinlandiaDiaries Just because you seem to be so annoyed by it.

[@christainamerica]

I wonder why the eggs are not refrigerated unlike in the US.. interesting 😅

[@GregB-f1x]

In Europe, and most of the world, they do not rinse away the natural protective coating from eggs like we do in the US. They do not need to be chilled and yet are more safe from salmonella than eggs in the US.

[@christainamerica]

@ woah thanks for the info!

[@freezedeve3119]

@@GregB-f1x yes, if your produced eggs has salmonella on test sample they will kill and burn all chickens, so better to not have salmonella.

[@leannetaylor6843]

That's so expensive guys £89 pounds in the uk..

[@babyshinx]

As would be shopping in the small corner store in the UK, not to mention differences in average pay between the UK and Finland. Going to a larger store and buying more ingredients than ready made things is going to be considerably cheaper.

[@jaklg7905]

Grabbing the 2nd or 3rd item doesn't do anything. They all came from the same shipment anyway.

[@unnintube]

Lol😂no they don't. 30 years in supermarket ordering stuff I can say no. The best before date is what accounts.

[@victoreem2]

gz your husband has autism 😅 the way he picks eveyting from the back row

[@just42tube]

You might need to practice to avoid American pronunciation of names. Its not Frasier (/ˈfreɪʒər/ ) I think you said it like that, just like the America TV sitcom. I might have heard wrong. Sorry, if I misheard. Karl Fazer (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈfɑtser]) was born in Helsinki. Family name is a version from Karl Fazer's fathers name Eduard Peter Fazer (originally Fatzer), was a Swiss-born furrier. Pronunciation in this case is a bit challenging, since its not obvious, what convention to follow. The name has foreign origin from German speaking Switzerland, but is in use in Finland in a family which wasn't Finnish speaking. Finnish speakers actual pronounce it more like the father's original family name would be pronounced in Finnish. It a kind a majority opinion, which doesn't mean it's more correct. By the way, your husband is right about maksalaatikko 😊.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Thanks for the tips. I am still struggling with Finnish pronunciations of the alphabet - your i's and j's sound so similar. My husband prefers the maksalaatikko with raisins 😅

[@just42tube]

@@FinlandiaDiaries Raisins are absolutely an essential ingredient, I agree.

[@wayneevans3342]

Interesting, but, do you ever buy food that's not hyper processed? One fresh cucumber was all I saw.

[@Hanavesi]

Did we watch the same video? Yes, they did buy a lot of pre-made meals but that, the sausages/cold cuts and snacks were the only ultra-prosessed stuff. Many products they got were also organic (at least milk, fruit pouch (it's only fruits) and eggs). The bread is healthy rye bread, definitely not ultra prosessed. They also got apples and cucumber. They probably have a baby at home and that's why they got a lot of pre-made and frozen meals. Having a baby at home exhausts you and you don't have much time and/or energy to cook. So I think your comment is an overexaggeration.

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Of course we do, we go to a larger supermarket for our fresh produce, poultry & fish.

[@CatCat-v5g]

​@@FinlandiaDiaries Ignore the trolls, especially since you're a newish channel - don't give them any attention. It's better to just not respond, & you don't owe anyone any explanation, period. For some reason people like to criticise from behind the keyboard (particularly around food related content. It's called 'food shaming')..Yawn to them. I enjoyed the video & getting to see what's available in Finnish supermarkets. Watching from the UK, thanks for sharing!

[@GrapeCheez2]

🙄

[@julioc.7760]

finlandia or china?

[@bramblemac4471]

Even the baby gets processed food😮

It's not all that processed, really. Obviously not comparable to home made, but it's not going to hurt having some of that stuff every now and then.

[@wioletaklajnert2820]

It's just pureed veggies and fruits. And those things has such regulations that might be better than made yourself at home.

[@GrapeCheez2]

Y'all too judgemental

[@KamikazeWeed]

Ruisleipä and Hapankorppu and many finnish foods maybe a bit weird for newcomers but sometimes you just get a craving where you have to eat hapankorppu with butter and cheese etc, even tho on paper it might sound a bit odd 😅 funny thing about leipäjuusto, as you said you like to call it "squeaky cheese", my family and some finns call it "narina" which is a word for Squeaky

[@FinlandiaDiaries]

Haha how very fitting 😁
