@MitoTomakawa 5 ай бұрын

They're not really overpriced, at least not all products. Notice how they don't sell you exactly the same products as normal stores do. They just pick the most expensive variants to sell. For example, while a normal store will sell you a normal potato, Erewhon will sell you Bonnottes de Noirmoutier. [Just a made up example, don't know what kind of potatoes they're selling] If you're a professional chef then this difference often matters a lot, depending on the dish and who you're cooking for. I do agree that most people do not need to, and probably shouldn't, regularly buy from them though.

Cutting down on grocery costs can be really hard, but if you don't mind stocking up on cheap frozen dinners (like the pot pies), cans of fruits and veggies (they're usually inexpensive), and off-brand products (forget Oreos, go back to Hydrox!), then you can make do with less money.

In 1975 Cadillac came out with their first smaller car, the Seville. It was the most expensive car in the line, more than the Eldorado convertible or Fleetwood Brougham let alone the mass-market DeVilles. They very carefully priced it at the top of the line because they feared the perception it would be seen as a "junior" Caddy. Pricing for position is nothing new.

Refusing to pay too much is nothing new either. I retired 17 years before full retirement age, and it was NOT by accident. It was primarily due to frugality.

Just borrowed the book from my library, might be interesting. Would probably be a million bucks at the store.😂

I think it's reasonable to assume any books in an Erewhon shopper's home were procured as decor by their interior/set designer.

This chain reminds me of the old-fashioned "Health food" store my mother favored. Very expensive, but there was rare a large assortment of rare honey, like (pale green) lime blossom, and types of grains not found elsewhere in the area.

When he says that the high prices are due to ingredients, he isn't lying. Also.... I did notice that a good amount of the products, you just can't find anywhere else/very few places. So, there's a clear premium for that exclusivity. There's nothing wrong with the business model. If you can only do one item, for the experience, so be it. Nobody is asking you to buy caviar there (although, likely, it's a brand that you can only find there/few other places). That's the luxury life.

Craziest experience I had at Erewhon was seeing a mob outside for this metal detox smoothie at the Culver City location. People FLEW across the country for this. I just wanted to meet up with a friend for his birthday lol.

Another one on my list of "would only shop there if I had to" like Whole Foods, Mollie Stone and Rainbow Grocery. I'm all for eating or trying to eat healthier, but not when I'm told by a merchant only if I spend $$$!

The hand soap in my bathroom pump is also crafted essential oils: Palmolive Pure & Clear Unscented + Clary Sage and Geranium Essential Oils. People love the hand soap and ask where I get it, I love their faces when I tell the its floofed up dish soap.

There's LOTS of cheap soap with fancy names and labels which just has a little perfume in it, etc. Just comparison shop and don't go to insane places to shop.

So glad the rich can waste money on crap like this when so many others in America are starving and in need of support that they could have gotten for the cost of their hand soap. Thanks for the video! I'm depressed now.

Willing to bet an Erewhon smoothie that most who shop there are lower to medium middle class. Those are the demographics most concerned with appearing riche. They're also shopping at Christian Dior and such places. They'll spend about every discretional dollar they have to do that.

The food here is Top tier. But I dont consider it a grocery store. More of like a grocery restaurant. Then buying premade meals is just like eating out at a restaurant. Only its actually delicious! It does also have an interesting lineage.
