Erewhon, dubbed as the “most expensive grocery store in the world” and the “most expensive grocery store in America" has gone viral after a series of celebrities including, Hailey Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Kendall Jenner launched smoothies in collaboration with the supermarket chain. With exorbitantly-priced items like $25 water, $30 ice and $20 smoothies, Erewhon isn’t just selling food, they’re selling you the aesthetics of wealth. In this video I discuss how influencers and celebrities are completely out-of-touch with the realities of most Americans, who are currently in the midst of a housing crisis, staggering inflation and rising gas prices that is making it difficult to afford groceries.

Most 1 liter maple syrups will cost almost $20 at a regular grocery store, so you'll get 2 for that price, unless you get something smaller. But maple syrup should not even be considered a health food, it's just a natural sweetener. The best deal you can get is getting 1 liter of maple syrup at Costco for $10-$13.

Not only are these influencers out of touch, they're being scammed. No matter how healthy or organically grown the food is at Erewhon, the margin of nutritional value between it and what you can get at a normal grocery store probably isn't that wide. Those people aren't paying exorbitant amounts of money just for the food, they're also paying for the presentation.

I was watching another video of someone mocking Erewhon and one of the influencers literally just put an ice ball in the sink to see how long it took it to melt. So she bought her $$$$ ice and then just rinsed it down the drain. I think that almost made me madder than anything. Because sometimes I kind of think 'well, it might be fun to spend a stupid amount of money on a smoothie just as a treat to see what it's really like' but 'well, it might be fun to buy some ice and then let it melt' is not a thing that would even enter my mind.

Here in Puerto Rico this situation is even worse.

Because of this the cost of food, especially healthy options, tends to be higher in Puerto Rico due to transportation costs and import tariffs. And so as prices rise in the US, they rise here.

I used to work for really wealthy people. They were worth millions, but not like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos sort of rich. Their money came from businesses their families built for generations (most were real estate, some were stocks & bonds sales, lumber, boat sales, one of them had a local franchise of pharmacies). They were unassuming and you wouldn't have known they were loaded because they never showed off, treated others kindly, and were conscientious with spending. Meanwhile, the wives of family friends I had that weren't rich spent their husbands' O-1-O-2 salaries on Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, and other designer stuff just to flex. Next thing we'll hear, they resent each other and they're either cheating or on the brink of a divorce because of money problems. Made me think actually rich people rarely showed off, while the ones who brag about riches are probably in debt.

Plenty influencers post about fixing world hunger how to save money how to eat healthier but compare how many people watch their content to how many people watch these influencers brag.

Eh i disagree with you here. There’s been several studies showing Foods that are sprayed with synthetic chemicals, pumped with hormones and other harmful ingredients are objectionably worse for you than food that is plucked from the ground and hasn’t been modified. They’re known to cause cancers and other chronic illnesses. Many of these “studies” debunking this were sponsored by big food corporations looking to deceive the public to make $$$ and keep ppl buying. GMOs are also bad for the environment.

Erewhon is a success(?) story in marketing. Use all the right buzz words, have a pleasing aesthetic, and garner support from rich pretty people. Trader Joe's appeal is largely similar (they have organic and "non-organic" produce, aesthetically appealing packaging/store layout with a LIMITED number of options, and a generally younger skewing crowd), yet TJ works directly with manufacturers producers for their branded products so they can sell it at lower prices...which helps with retaining customers. Erewhon's prices come from the image Erewhon built (amusement park), not from the cost and quality of their actual products. Ironically, both well known despite not seeming to invest much in advertising (or parking space in TJ's case). Their customers do it for them.

It’s so funny when that one Erewhon shopper says sth along the lines of “the produce is so expensive, but it’s also sooooo good, the best!!! Give me the 14 $ sliced cucumber!!” - I’m sure she actually thinks that. If something is expensive, it will most likely trick your brain into believing that what you’re buying MUST be better than the cheaper alternatives, even if it’s not.

HOT TAKE: majority of society is living way above their means. This culture has made us think we need certain things when it’s more of a want than a need. Now before you comment “groceries are a need!” Think about what you’re buying. Think about the branding. THINK ABOUT all the other nonsense you have decided to spend your money on such as a car way out of your budget, that new phone, expensive rent, excess clothes, etc. We are brainwashed into thinking we need the newest & nicest products but in reality you can’t afford that lifestyle. If you’re buying products with your credit card then you cannot afford it. In conclusion, we try to keep up with the trends and as a result we can’t afford our groceries or rent. Priorities, friends. 😬

If they wanna blow their money, that's their prerogative, fretting over their wasted money doesn't make it come to me and I'd rather focus on bettering my life instead of being miffed over their poor choices. I don't think them hiding their wealth would be mindful or compassionate in any way because society will continue to move on, they'll continue to be rich and we'll continue to struggle AND be angry. Which really isn't worth it. I'm envious of their privilege but what's hating on them going to do for me? Even if they were "in touch", my problems won't be going away lol.
