European Reacts to BRITISH FAMILY grocery shopping at WALMART!

If you think it’s weird to watch a video of people shopping, imagine what it’s like for us, watching a video of a guy watching a video of people shopping.

The British and European fascination with Walmart is kinda amusing to us Americans. 😅

Yes, Andre we also use plastic bags for fruits and veggies. They just aren't using them.

Yes the plastic bags are in all the grocery stores. I think theses people are just bypassing the bags.

shopping tip. get your dried foods first (that's boxed food and canned foods), THEN, fruit and veggies, then meats, then dairy, and last frozen... this prevents the frozen or cold foods from getting warm while you're shopping.

In the USA, food best-by dates are not dates for safety but dates for quality. The only food with a proper expiration date is baby formula, the only one mandated by federal regulations. As long as the food has been handled and stored correctly, it can be safe to eat past the best-by dates. The best test is to look for and smell for signs of spoilage. Again, dates applied to food are for quality, not safety. Food products are safe to eat past the date on the label, and regardless of the date, everyone should evaluate the quality and safety of food before consumption. Source the USDA. Also, if it's moldy, throw the whole thing out. Don't just cut the mold off, as there are filaments of mold that go deeper into the food.

Sometimes watching reactors - reacting to reactors in America was annoying - then I realized how humbling these videos are... You all keep reminding us how beautiful America really is... Thank you...

Being disabled I buy 90% of my stuff from Walmart online, and they load it up when I get there. I never have to go into the store. Also, some Great Value stuff is good, but some things are better with a name brand. Also, I get free delivery from Walmart, discount on gas, and pick up my medication all in the same place! It's very convenient! Thanks for the great videos!

"How many burritos do you eat? " I am from New Mexico. EVERYTHING goes in a tortilla *LOL* I've even put chili dogs in them for less messy eating.

"Refried" beans is a Mexican thing. Basically it is pinto beans which are cooked (by boiling) and then fried, traditionally with lard but increasingly with vegetable oil, mashing as they fry until they reach a creamy consistency with only bits of bean remaining. 37

Those grapes in a bag, the price was per pound, like $7 worth of grapes.

Plastic produce bags are in the fresh produce section of Walmart. I think the UK family overlooked them for their fruits and vegetables

Walmart delivers in most cities and shopping online was such a wonderful benefit when I couldn't leave the house for nearly a year. My husband was receiving end-of-life care (Hospice) at home and I needed to be with him at all times. Walmart carries so much more than just food and being able to buy bed sheets, medical supplies, etc. right from my laptop and have it delivered in a few hours was so incredibly helpful!!!

13:41 one of the tips for shopping at walmart. when looking at the price tag. there is a small orange square in the right half that shows the 'price per unit' that shows how much per oz or similar measurement... so like if it's in lbs. it would be the price per lbs and you can compare that price per unit to the price per lbs for loose fruit to see which is the better deal... it's on every price tag. and a yellow price sticker on the product itself is a 'reduced' price.

They’re buying organic food which is going to usually be more expensive

25:00 - We use the term "green onions" in the US. Technically, scallions and green onions are different plants, but they look similar and taste the same, and can be used interchangeably in cooking.

We love these videos! I'm in the U.S. & I'm fascinated at this & others' reactions.

Walmart often will discount fresh fruit and veggies if they have extra or starting to get old, but still perfectly good to eat without worrying about getting sick from it

I like how she wanted sauerkraut and were right next to kimchi and didn’t look at it. Both are fermented cabbage products.

Great Value items are mostly good, but there are still things I'll only buy name brand -- like coffee, bread, and mayonnaise.

I go to Walmart several times a week. Besides groceries, I get my prescriptions & sometimes I use the Auto Center for oil changes, etc. My Mother uses the Eye Center & gets her hair done at the Beauty Shop. Happy Father's Day....

Bean info= In the UK they call the beans they eat (and often put on toast) "baked beans" and Americans call a side typically served with bbq "baked beans" but they are NOT the same. The beans they use in the UK are "beans with tomato sauce". American "baked beans" are made with molasses, brown sugar, spices, bacon, etc and then actually baked (often in a bean crock special for the job)- sorry but I have no idea if baking is actually involved in the type in the UK. Refried Beans = In Mexican cuisine, black beans are often served as a side seasoned and cooked soft. Refried beans area sort of mash of leftover black beans that you re-fry the next day. It's so delicious people don't wait for it to be leftover and go right to refrying them... I guess we Americans really do just love frying things because I also remember refrying everything from leftover macaroni and meat sauce to mashed potatoes as a kid... Or that could just be a feral 80s latchkey kid thing 🤷‍♀

Most Walmart products are good, some things I prefer name brand things 🤷‍♀️ Happy Father's Day and love to you and your family from Georgia

They have Walmart Neighborhood Markets which is just the grocery section instead of the full store and I go to that one fairly regularly if I need to pick up something.

Yes, there are clear plastic bags to put your fresh produce in all around they are not observant of their surroundings, I'm thinking this family doesn't even use them in the UK because they don't even ask about the bags just put their food in the germy shopping buggy.

37, but you are still a random guy alone in Portugal watching a Walmart video. lol

If they paid attention to the price tags on the shelves they would see that Walmart labels in a smaller text the actual price per (unit of measure) so it's easier to find the better values

I’m a Walmart+ member so I shop on the app and they bag up the groceries and deliver them to my door. I shop weekly for food. If you get at least two deliveries a month the membership basically pays for itself. Love it and the other perks members get.

Yes, I have been to Walmart in the last week.❤from CALIFORNIA 🇺🇲

I went to Walmart yesterday. If Walmart doesn't have it, you don't need it!

35:04 the blue bags are 'reusable' cloth bags and are usually around $2 each. might be higher in some states.

A pound is 28 grams. Don’t ask how I remember that I can’t disclose 🤪🤣. You should be okay without the GPS Walmart has no “customer friendly back exits” outside of fire emergency exits 🥰. All the doors are located at the front past the main cash registers.

Garlic is very good for you! And we do use bags for produce, not sure why they are not using them lol.

Happy 1st Father's Day! My daughters are 12 and 21 and there is nothing in life that has brought me more joy than these girls. Hope you had a great day!

Ever grocery store has plastic produce bags. First off, it protects the produce in tge cart from germs/contamination, also its easier to pick up a baggie than trying to wrangle a bunch of loose produce. We also have plastic bags for meats. I always put wrapped chicken into a plastic bag to keep the juices from leaking everywhere.

Walmart has a bakery should have fresh bread

Your reminder that groceries only make up about 1/3 of a Walmart; the rest is retail merchandise - and typically an auto service center, an optometrist and eyewear shop, a bank, and a fast food restaurant of one brand or other, and a pharmacy. Once Walmart saved my butt when I got a flat tire in the wilds of Montana, and managed to ride my spare tire to the nearest town and the Walmart there, and get the tire patched just before the auto shop closed.

7:23 there are plastic bags for fruit and veggies AND another kind for raw meats... they are in the section that the food is in, but you have to actually look for them as they aren't everywhere... usually 1 set in meats and 2 in veggies.

Herseys is the most popular due mostly to the price. But keep in mind there are dozens of regional brands of very high quality chocolates. Esther Price Chocolates are a nice one based in Ohio and available in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois.

Refried beans originated in Mexico about 100 years ago and are simple dry beans soaked overnight then boiled with some aromatics (onion and maybe some garlic) until soft then drained and fried with some lard in a skillet and lightly mashed to form a flavorful bean paste that still has bits of bean in it for texture. They're amazing as a side dish with some melty cheese over them or as a component of many dishes.

I hadn't been inside a Walmart since the pandemic. I get everything delivered to me, from food, to hardware, to craft materials, to shelves and everything in between. I had to prep for a big move and got my tape and boxes from them. I didn't have to leave the house. I have a prime membership, which gets me free deliveries and sometimes an additional discount. They rarely make a mistake, but when they do, not only can I keep what they delivered (they especially don't want food back - too much of a liability), but they also give me a nice coupon. I got one for $15 the other week. I did go in my new Walmart recently, but only because I had to change my pharmacy to them due to the move. Otherwise, I still don't plan to go in the store. I got a file box delivered today. Sunday. It's great.

I like to watch people shop, too. Lol. Especially from other countries.

ALWAYS CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES ON FOOD WITH SPECIAL TAGS...

It’s not surf board, it’s a scim board for riding the shallow waves in the ocean . Lots of fun.

Happy Father’s Day Andre’ ❤

13:27 The sweet potatoes were the same price. 13:38 In the top left of the label, it tells you the unit price in the orange square. In this case, for the bagged potatoes, it says 96c per pound, the same as the loose ones. The bag label also tells you it is three 3lbs of potatoes 96 multiplied by three is 288. 14:38 Here, they were correct. Not only is the left tofu cheaper, but you also get more for your money. The right one is $3.42 per pound and listed as $3.42 per package, so 1 pound of tofu. At the same time, the left is $1.95 per pound but $2.92 per package, about 1.5 pounds of tofu.

Refried beans is popular in Mexican and Tex/Mex cooking. The beans are cooked and mashed into a paste with added spices and lime juice.

I go to Walmart probably 3 times a week. Groceries, clothing, household supplies, automotive, hardware, garden, electronics, art/crafts. I mean, I could go to stores that specialize in those things (and I do on occasion), but Walmart is 5 minutes away and most of the other stores are 15 minutes away. Because Walmart has so many things, they aren't always going to have the most or best options, but they generally always have at least 1 option for the item you need and it is often pretty cheep (but food can be sometimes more expensive than a normal grocery store)

I’m a merchandiser/ vendor. I’m in Walmarts everyday. Currently I’m only calling on Lowes and Walmarts. Last month my work had us doing Home Depot, Albertsons, Kroger etc.

"My friends, I have a bunch of sweet teeth" - Andre 2024 🤣😂 #37 (You are not alone!)

There are usually rolls of plastic produce bags to use put up around the produce displays. Some store provide brown paper bags to put the produce in while shopping. I bring my own mesh bags that have the bag’s weight (multiple sizes) that the cashier will subtract that weight off the price so I like those plus they’re reusable too. 37!!! 🎉

I always try to keep some Great Value pasta in my home for emergencies. What I mean by that is that sometimes the weather changes really quickly from one minute to the next here in Florida. It can be sunny and 100 F one minute and pouring rain the next. And when that happens, I do not always want to go out and get food for lunch or dinner. That's when I eat Great Value.

5:04 that is NOT a wooden surfboard 🤣 it’s a SKIM board, for skimming on top of the water (37)

We do usually use plastic bags for fresh fruit & veggies. They're just not using the bags.

I usually grocery shop at Walmart. Walmart Greal Value brand are usually quite good. I also use their pharmacy, so convenient.

I went 2 days ago. I go to Walmart at least 2-3 days a week.

I went to a Walmart today to pick a Domino's pizza. The Walmart near my home in Florida has a Domino's inside it. I walked into Walmart, grabbed a shopping cart and then entered Domino's to pick up the pizza I ordered online. I go to Walmart to shop for food once a month. Sometimes once every two months if I can buy everything I need in one trip.

37, Enjoyed the reaction. Nice to watch someone that is just giving the opinion and not going over the top with overly obnoxious antics.

We put all those veggies in a bag, and yeah there's bags there.

Love all your reactions my friend! Keep em coming! Meet you in Yellowstone ! Lol

Remember this, there are regional slang or terms for certain items that will be different from region to region in the U.S. The most classic example being what people call soft drinks like pepsi or dr pepper - soda, pop or coke. In the beginning when they said they need to get a shopping cart, it's not always called that in all parts of the U.S. Some areas call it a carriage but they'll understand you if you say shopping cart.

Chuckle! Watching these people buy things you see why US people have BIG refrigerators with freezers! They buy a big 5lb bag of frozen French Fries for the three of them. We buy a 5lb bag because it’s cheaper and stuff it in the freezer with the big tub of ice cream. The steaks for gilling, the roast because it’s on sale, the bagged vegetables because they can go into that freeze and get used as needed. (I have a heat sealer to reseal bags after using what I need.). If the food isn’t going to be used in the next day or do the big fridge Is necessary because we do not go to the stores every day or so. In fact I usually don’t go grocery shopping more than once every two weeks or less.

We use plastic bags usually for things that aren't bundled up. We never put bananas in a bag, things like singular fruits we bag up and weigh together on the scanner as you check out. You search for the type of food, set it on the scanner and it weighs it for you and calculates for you.

I’m going to Walmart tonight to get some garbanzo beans, or chickpeas. I just went vegan after a hiatus. In the past, Daiya pizza was pretty great. Now, I would describe the dairy free cheese as…sticky. It melts and stretches better, but it feels sticky. It sticks to your teeth when chewing. Really throws off the whole fake pizza experience.

Walmart is not just a grocery store it's a department store with groceries

I have been vegetarian for over 10 years (I am an old lady). Youngest son & DIL are vegan, & make AMAZING food. Just a lot of work, & they use fresh spices.

You won’t need your gps in Walmart. All of the aisles are clearly marked to show what is in that aisles.

If they are getting eggs they are not vegan they are vegetarian

Lol! Refried beans are a delicious Mexican style bean... so good!!! You can eat it anytime of day. I love it with eggs at breakfast. But it's also used in burritos, enchiladas and tacos. It's a very tasty staple to have in your pantry to use in many ways.

For fresh produce or meat in the U.S. the best prices are at immigrate grocery stores. Latin American or Asian. They lower prices to get low income immigrants in the door.

You have to remember you get what you pay.

Roflmbo. Not a bad idea about the GPS. I work for Walmart in the Electronics section. It is like the British ASDA shop. There are plastic bags provided for the fruits and vegetables. Continued Success

Ya, normally we throw in a veg/fruit bags that are all over the place in the fresh section! LOL

Yeah. I went to walmart a couple days ago for groceries. Also there are definitely bags around the fresh produce area you can grab. They probably just didnt think about it or didnt notice them

Yes there are plastic bags all over the fresh foods and meat departments. Dried pasta is all the same so buy the cheapest.

Did the guy in the video call a red onion a pearl white onion? Silly Brits! 🤣

Walmarts also have pharmacies so you can get your prescriptions. The pharmacy will be located in the department that sells toiletries, cosmetics, etc.

There are usually rolls of plastic produce bags to use put up around the produce displays. Some store provide brown paper bags to put the produce in while shopping. I bring my own mesh bags that have the bag’s weight (multiple sizes) that the cashier will subtract that weight off the price so I like those plus they’re reusable too. That bread is called Dave’s Killer Bread. Super healthy and the thin sliced is my fav. Vegans eat cake. We have egg substitutes we use. You can substitute applesauce or soaked flaxseed for egg as a binder. You can find foods to substitute for all dairy products

Yes, walmart has plastic bags. Some people use them, some people don't.

went to Walmart and got new tires.

I am going to say this from my own research. Store brands are usually the same product as expensive brands just packaged differently. Remember they offer the same foods all around the world at drastically different prices. That tells you how much markup there really is

When Walmarts first opened they did not have groceries. That part of the store came later. Some Walmarts are called super stores that have huge grocery srctions and automobile service departments. You can get an oil change or car repair Some have Subway sandwich shop, bank, bakery, vision center, and tax filing assistance at tax time.

37! to answer your question I'm a vegan watching this! the US has tons of vegan meats and cheeses as well as tons of products like oreos which are vegan, because companies do not add eggs and milk to make their product last longer. most vegan meats are made out of soy or vegetable proteins. there's also a huge amount of vegan milks, coffee creamer, etc.

There are hanging metal baskets in the produce aisle that are scales for you to weigh your produce!

GPS wont help you inside a store LOL. If you're lost in a store in the USA, try looking up. Most stores label their isles with some sort of elevated signage. Plastic bags are available for the produce they just aren't using them.

Vegan here! Loved watching this one! ❤

Walmart is not America's biggest supermarket.

I like Walmart prices but I hate actually going IN Walmart 😂. I get it delivered to my house.

Yes, *Great Value - is the Walmart brand. And yes, definitely there is plastic bags with twust ties for all veggies and fruits to keep the fruitbabs veggies sanitary. Tge plastic bags abd twusts are everywhere, all around the fruits, veggies and raw meats too. Weirde they are not using them. They are definitely available and free. Americans would never not use the plastic bags and twists for fruit and veggies, we would never set the raw produce in tve cart lime theyre doing. Also, Walmart has a Deli departmrnt, a Bakery Department, a Meat Department and a Seafood Department where in addition to what you see in tbe store ailes, you can buy items fresh. We also have corn snd sweet corn and Peas and sweet peas. Etc., we offer fresh in produce, canned in csns, jars and frozen.

That was actually interesting. I'm not vegan so, it was interesting seeing how vegans shop. Plus, they're somewhat frugal, which I can certainly appreciate!😂

Important Grocery Shopping Tip #37: Putting the word "Organic" on something makes it cost twice as much. Save your money, and don't waste it on magic buzzword labels.

We have ridiclous inflation in the US right now. A lot of things are doublethe price they were back before covid( back when we had a goodpresident)

That small "surf" board is either a Boogie Board or a Skim Board Boogie Boards are use for body surfing. You put your chest on the board, hold on and the kind of surf the waves but you never stand up like you would on a surf board. A Skim Board is used on the beach where the waves kind of end, so a very thin amount of water. The skill here is to drop the board in front of you and then run and jump onto the skim board and propel yourself across the beach on that thin amount of water, hence the name Skimming.

They are at at a Walmart Supercenter, Walmart also has Neighbored Markets which is mostly a regular food market, smaller. I’m live in Missouri, we have a least 8 Walmarts and Neighbored Markets in my city. Love Walmart’s.

Costco is not meant for a regular family grocery shopping, it is meant for small businesses (restaurants, ect.) that's why it is giant and more warehouse-like. Walmart is for the general public, that's why you see it as more 'iconic'.

Plastic bags are normal for produce here, and they are available for use. They're also available for meat purchases in the meat market.

I live in New York. Plastic bags are banned here. People bring their own reusable tote bags. Walmart is not a grocery store but it's what we refer to as a super store that sells everything including groceries.

32:46 most bbq sauces and flavorings are ok for vegetarians and vegans... most of them are only made with plant based ingredients....

I love this family, very chill, positive and relaxed content!
