 Well, go back to my YouTube channel guys. Today, I decided to do something a little bit special. Many times I get asked by people, what is it like living in New Zealand? What is it like grocery shopping? So today I'm going to take you into a grocery store with my friend Chantel from growing up without borders and show you what it's like in New Zealand buying food. So you're going to want to subscribe below, hit the bell. Here we go. This video is sponsored by Squarespace. Squarespace is a great all-in-one platform to get your business online quickly. Here we go. So first things first, shopping carts are two sizes here. You get a small and a large, which is always useful. Okay, here we go. Okay, so when you first come in, they always put the sale stuff right in the front. New Zealand are so good. They're such a big variety and they're so good. My favorite are the Braver Navels. They have that in the US too, but the produce is so good. One thing that's interesting here is a lot of times you will see these bags, compostable bags or paper bags like this. This is kind of cool. Okay, so one thing that I've never had till I came to New Zealand is a passion fruit. Now, I believe these must be out of season as they're $34.99 a kg and they're from New Zealand. So they must be out of season, but I don't know how they're here, but they're so good. Okay, so let's just explain. You have to eat in season here. If not, you will be paying like what, double, triple the price. Yeah, so you'd kind of change what you make basically. So you eat in season and it's healthy. It's good and it's fresh. I love these. These are persimmons. Persimmons? They're in season. It's a persimmon. This is cheap and they are like, you could eat it like an apple like this. You just literally can just bite into it and I've never had one first time this year. I love it. One thing you'll see in New Zealand is people in their Wenzies walking through a grocery store because she turns around. It's out of season in the winter and you can tell they don't look so hot and they're expensive and so it's hard. Not a lot of pastas that I'm making in the winter. Something that surprises me in New Zealand is you get a lot of these bagged salads. You still get fresh, but there's not huge large amounts of them. Yes, a ton of choices. No. Okay, so the meat in New Zealand is so good. Most everything is grass-fed and delicious as you can see here. Also buying meats, if you want to just decide on what's on sale that week is generally what I do. Or there's certain ones like they're mince. This is mince. This is a ground beef. This is called mince. It's always good. Not too expensive. Their red meats are always real reasonable and they're pork. One thing they do here is they don't call mince meat hamburger meat. So we're used to calling it hamburger meat. Do you call it hamburger meat? Yeah, we call it ground beef is what we call it. Here they call it mince. Okay, so let's talk about the chicken. Since I moved here in 2013, the price of chicken breast has gone way down from when I first started. It used to be like I couldn't even buy it that much. It was so expensive to feed my whole family. But check out these like whole chickens and they are, this one's 22 because it's a whole organic. This one's 23 hours. So it's pretty expensive. And the thing is is that the chickens are so small for my family because this is like regular size. These aren't hormone-induced whatever from the US. So I always have to get two to feed my family so that can be a bit expensive. So a sausage sizzle is a big thing. A sausage sizzle? Yes. The cheap ones are just like these bags. These are their frankfurters which will be the most likely American hot dog. Not exactly the same, but yeah these are the regular sausages. They're all pre-cooked so it's real easy. But then there's nicer sausages down here. If you go to your local butcher, that's what I would suggest. Yeah, that's what I suggest. So a lot of countries around the world, we're just talking about milk. The price of milk here is it's the farmers aren't subsidized. So in a lot of countries the government subsidized the farms. Got it. And so here like a thing of milk like that is $5.50 basically. So that could be considering expensive like in most countries it's like two. Especially since I buy like five of those. Yeah. Okay so this is fresh cream and so this is the closest thing you're going to get to creamer for your coffee or cool whip for any sort of dessert. Everybody whips their own cream. Now you can buy like the spray cream. They have spray cream. But most people don't. But you know like all those cool whip recipes in the US. Now you're whipping your own cream people but it's so much better. I don't know about you but I have been putting off creating my website until I found my solution with Squarespace.

It's not six aisles of sugar cereals like the U.S. This is your only choice. All right. So there's lots of spreads or jams in New Zealand and always lots of honey, manuka honey. And then there's marmite. Marmite and a vegemite. This is what's put on toast in the morning here. I think vegemite is more Australian, but peanut butter. Fixed fog guys. You can't beat it. Let me show you. Do they have my favorite? Yes. The dark chocolate peanut butter guys. Just need a spoon. That's it. Nothing else. So good. The peanut butter is so good. It's such good with the peanut butter. And this is coming from an American. So let's talk about the family. We have the seafood. There's lots of good seafood, but then we have some cuts of meat, but not as much variety as you probably have. There's the luncheon, which would be the same as the bologna in the U.S. And then like we've got samosas. We've got some Indian and we have some clean made sandwiches. Some pies. Oh, look at this. They have macarons. Really? You think you're in France? Yeah. 350 each. There it is. Ladies and gents. Okay. So New Zealand is famous for its meat pies and its sausage rolls. So there's always some in the deli. You just get it individually. So good. I highly recommend from a fresh bakery. Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but this abloba is a Kiwi thing. Right? Yes, it is. It's a Kiwi thing. So you don't find this. Don't buy that. Make it yourself. Oh, I don't know. I guess I've never, I don't buy baked cookies. Make it yourself. Make it yourself. Have you ever seen anything like it? That's so cool. Wow, there's like a whole onion in that one. I scream in the world. So check out how big this section is. Cheese selection in New Zealand, guys. This is it. It's different. I always think it's funny. Tasty cheese. It's their cheddar. But they sell it in these blocks. So this is a cheaper, if you need, cheese is cheap here. You get this whole block of cheese for $10. That's a good price. One thing you won't find is orange cheese. You just don't find orange cheese. Yeah, like mozzarella cheese. And I really miss moderate jack. We don't have that. You know what I miss is the real mozzarella, like real mozzarella. Like, yeah, like some people have it, but they're outrageously expensive. They don't have it. I've never seen it. Yeah, they do. Here. Oh, this is it. Oh, my gosh. How did I not see that? Chloe's going to be so excited. Girl, we've got it here. Seriously. We've got it here. You get beer and wine at the grocery store, but not other alcohol. Okay, for those of you watching, you want to know something interesting. In Canada, you have to go to the beer store and then to the liquor store. Two different buildings. Okay, they don't sell beer at the liquor store? Nope. Didn't know that. Yep. So this is tomato sauce, not ketchup. This is the famous thing that's used here in New Zealand, but at least they have mines. They put it on their french fries, though, and it doesn't taste like ketchup. No, it's not. It's not salty. It's more sweet. Yeah. More tomato-y. Yeah. I don't know how else to say it. Sweet and tomato-y. There it is. Totally different. Totally different. This has not, this is way more variety than five years ago. They've really stepped it up. Yeah, it's grown quite a bit. It's like the 80s. No. Okay, it says Kraft mac and cheese, but it doesn't look right. No, no, it looks way too big. Like it looks massive. Hold on. Hold on. Let's see if it's made in the U.S. This is hilarious. Because it always says made in Australia. Australia. Yeah, Australia. See, they don't know. That's why it looks weird. This is inspired by Stranger Things. They're trying to give it the 80s look. Kind of like mullets. They have mullets in style here. Thank you for watching today, guys. I hope you enjoyed it.
