It’s expensive to retire in Orlando - Walmart shop 

I thought your shopping cart was much cheaper in Orlando than here in Cheshire. I shop in Asda, Tesco and Aldi buying certain things in each place depending on price. Your Aldi is cheaper for fruit and veg compared to our Aldi. Dollar Tree have great prices on store cupboard items like soda, chips, dips, pork rinds, Campbell soups, candy, etc - it’s the first place we go on arrival. We love Publix which is pretty much equivalent to our M&S, Waitrose & Sainsbury prices. We love Publix for their freshly made subs and donuts in particular. Their own brand products are good and decently priced too. Since the pandemic prices have hurtled worldwide and now forced to shop around the various options for the best value. Watching your video and all this talking of food is making me hungry 🤤 Thanks for sharing, it’s always good to see what other people buy in their weekly shop and comparing prices 🙂🤗

Food prices have sky rocketed everywhere... though it seems very expensive there and though the choice in supermarkets here is excellent it seems a notch higher over there! Another great vlog guys 😊

Fun little video hope you do more like this one

Love a shopping video! I could spend hours in an American supermarket! 🇬🇧x

This video made me so happy. I love looking around American supermarkets. Your citrus fruits etc are cheaper and so much bigger than here in the UK which makes sense as we dont have the sunshine. The selection of choice you have per food item is much bigger than we have. Cheers

I think I may pack more food in my suitcase for our upcoming trip to Orlando especially after seeing you take home a Frey Bentos pie in a long ago vlog.

Thanks for doing this showing the prices in Walmart. We were wondering how much more expensive it would be. We are coming to Orlando in September,so you have given us a good idea of the prices. We came 2 years ago and thought it was expensive then. We are really going to have to cut down on what we buy when we come. We normally go mad shopping in Walmart but no more i am afraid. And you are right the food is cheaper in England compared to Walmart, but we still moan about the prices being high here. Thanks again for doing this.

Very interesting to see the prices and compare to UK. I mostly shop at Sainsburys and Lidl and spoil myself with an occasional haul in M&S. We have a lot of offers if you use the stores' cards and that can make a big difference to the prices. I still love using the local markets for fruit and veg and a trip to Bury market is a real treat for decent bacon, sausage and, of course, black pudding and local cheeses. Being able to taste before you buy on those also helps. I'm looking forward to a good look around Walmart in August

Hi we live in N.Ireland and we have been numerous times to Florida and loved the shopping prices for food.But I think compared to here your prices are dearer than ours .You definitely still have more choice but what a change in prices .Would still love a Walmart here xo

I’d say the prices are similar but slightly cheaper in Orlando. Working on $1.25 per £1 I think you guys are better off Enjoy your weekend

Would be interested in seeing an Aldi’s haul. This way we can see the prices (and quality) of meat and compare. Thanks.

Hi from sunny Scotland, when we visited America we always bought the Pepperidge Farm Sausalito cookies, and took lots home, I know they’re available on Amazon but at a shocking price. 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When we visited Florida back last august I thought the food in Walmart was expensive. Food back in the UK has gone up however it’s definitely cheaper here.

Loved the shopping in Walmart my I miss it ❤

Thanks for the video 👍. Have to agree, prices have gone up in Florida - however we do use Publix as it is only across the street from our resort ( PsS will bring Cadburys in November 😬)

I think the Bazzas need a Red Cross food parcel at those prices, eye watering. Should get the lodge guys to bring some more.

I only get my sandwich meat from the deli now. I know what you mean about the after taste in the prepackaged deli meat. I need to look for that yummy looking bread when I got to my Walmart on Sunday! I also recommend Bread in a Can. You can sometimes find it with the canned beans and chili. It’s delicious. Especially when you toast it and put a little butter on it!!

Thank you for sharing. ❤ It’s just my husband and I now as the kids are all grown and have children of their own. Unbelievable how expensive things are. We’re in Michigan and I’d say our prices are about the same as Orlando. It’s a bummer when you have to think about how much money you’re spending and make choices because of it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh well. It could be worse.

What Walmart are you in we went to one near Disney and we couldn’t move yours looked chilled thanks for sharing 😊

I was very surprised to see the “exact” same prices at your Florida Walmart, as we have here at my Washington state Walmart. The Raisin Bran, the mini bakery pies, the papaya, the pink cookies, the frozen brussel sprouts, the 24 pack of Coca Cola, all priced exactly the same, (although I did pick up several cases of Coke for $7 each, right before Memorial Day.) The Walmart prices are usually better than our Safeway/Albertsons store, unless they have an advertised sale. Fun video, and I hope you didn’t forget your chip dip! 😁

A lot of it does seem quite expensive! UK not as bad as your prices! Cucumber very expensive there!😮 89p here!

What we have noticed on our Orlando holidays is that the cost of meat is pretty high. There weren’t to many steaks being thrown onto the barby that’s for sure. But even as a two person household, 120 dollars a week seems quite a lot to me. I’ll have to pay attention next time I go, though we have pretty good discount shops, Aldi Lidl etc pretty close and I just pop out if I need anything. We don’t really do a big weekly shop that often. Also, next time you go, could you give the price per lb or kilo? The sizes of bags over there is pretty large at times. A 200g jar of Nescafé Gold blend for example costs €12.50 ish, which was €9.99 pre pandemic.

I also love the US supermarkets for choice, but the nasties in the processed food is not good. Same in a lot of countries, but seemingly worse in US. I have noticed in recent times that food prices are through the roof there, compared to say even 4 years ago. Similar story most countries, but again , seemingly more so in Florida..and other states. You'd definitely think fruit and veg would be cheaper in Florida given the climate and not necessarily the need to import... Maybe like so many others countries/states production of fresh produce is becoming a thing of the past and there is now too much dependency on imports...🤷 We were in Sardinia recently and food prices are really high...I was shocked tbh

Wow, the cucumber and the bread really stood out for me! So expensive. Overall it didn’t strike me as hugely more expensive than the UK, but of course the quality of the food comparatively is questionable. I’ve read about the preservatives etc they use in food over there, and put it this way, I wouldn’t be buying supermarket chicken 😂. Always fun to see what’s available though. I’d be in there for hours, too much distraction with all that choice 😁

Very interesting watching you both shop in Walmart. I would say prices are quite reasonable compared to the UK. I shop in Sainburys who try and price match Aldi. Have you shopped in Costco? How do the prices compare with Walmart? Congratulations on your retirement.😊

Definitely try Dollar Tree for topup shopping...❤ have been back and to to Florida for the last 35 years, Orlando always cheaper than Cheshire...😊🎉❤😮

If you like tinned fish, Sédanos has a good selection. There is a store in the same area as the Home Depot. If you happen to be in the area.

Good vlog. Do you have a BJ's card or Costco card? They are more a bulk store but good for nonperishable items, meat, fresh veggies and fruits and a terrific bakery. Trader Joes prices are also good for fresh fruits (bananas 23cents) and veggies and special treats.Also Aldis has good prices.

Mrs Bazza definitely picking up the accent!

😮 prices are a wee bit pricey there I think for like for like items here in the UK 🇬🇧 but sizing there in packets is massive !!! Have you tried Ina Gartens hot chocolate ?? it’s delish 😋 thanks peeps for taking us on your big shop 🤗🤗

A good way of saving money is to get an annual pass for six flags and then add on the annual food pass which is currently on offer at $129. You can then enjoy two meals every day for an entire year at your local six flags park. Although you may not live long enough to reap the full annual benefit.

I'm watching the vlog and as a Yorkshire man a little voice in my head is shouting "How much"😂

I shop at Wal-Mart here in 🇨🇦 and I was surprised to see many things more expensive there than up here. Even with the currency conversion. I used to nip across the border for some groceries in upper NY state (I’m near Ottawa) Very interesting thanks for that walk through.

I was going to compare the sugar price but those bags look a lot bigger than what we have in Germany, but the jam Maxine likes is one of our faves also, so can compare that. You guys pay almost double for it there than we do here.

That was a good shopping order but if you had meat or chicken it would have been quite a lot more. I heard everything in Florida is more like home owners insurance and HOA fees and utilities car insurance etc. is that true. Love the vlogs.

We have just got back from the USA staying with friends in Michigan they all made home made jam I can see why now seeing those prices although they live close to fruit farms and buy all their fruit from the local farms at local prices. I am always surprised at the price of wine in the US as they produce it there yet it is more expensive in their supermarkets than here although we did get a pack of killians red for $12.99 for a pack of 12 on offer.

Great insight and interesting to see the price increase from the one two years ago. For the first time I picked up on how much of an American twang you have now sometimes Maxine . X

Enjoyed the Vlog 👍 Now that you're retired do you think you'll go back to more frequent Vlogs?

you've only shown 2 kinds of fruit so far and i can tell you its half the price of walmart stores in Alabama. that pkg of strawberries is nearly $6 and the grapes are also nearly $6 a lb. so it is cheaper by half at least for fruit in Florida! The prices around the store seem to be pretty consistent between there and our stores here in North Alabama.

Thanks for the interesting video. I can’t really tell how expensive the items are as I can’t tell the weight/volume of most of them. . But, $3 for 18 eggs and 84 cents for the blueberry pie seems very reasonable to me. Here in Singapore, the smallest, LOWEST quality eggs are $2.15 for 10.

Spot on. We been here in St Cloud FL now 2.5yrs from Wigan Lancs, we also noticed about a 20% increase. Crazy! We do most of our food shop at ALDI then Walmart then only Publix in an emergency! A while ago I got 1 x 4 pint milk 1 x 2% milk and another 1 x 1% milk. $14.00!!!! Great video thanks!

The cost of living including food has increased a lot in the UK over the past couple of years so I think a lot of your prices in Orlando are now cheaper than in the UK, especially when you take into account the size of some of your items and packs you’re buying, which are much larger so more value than packaged food stuffs in the UK

great video. How long have you guys lived in the states? I do find a few things more expensive then England, but mind you, I moved here 40 odd years ago LOL There's still a lot I miss in England.

Really pricey there now. Travel bargains have disappeared! Enjoyed trolley cam!

I noticed you don't buy or show a lot of store branded items so i have no way to compare the prices, of course we all have what we prefer but since i grew up here and we were not "well off" i am used to the store brands and in some cases prefer them , except the frozen veg those are full of hard bits and ends and i will buy the brand in the frozen veg but still the canned are good. i can understand sticking to what you've come to know but showing those prices if the store brands are available like in the cereals and stuff it would be cool if you could just aim down there to show the prices even if you don't mention them. just a suggestion but of course it was very cool that you took us in there with you as a lot of vloggers won't do that and i do enjoy seeing the prices on things!

Have ya tried the new hot orange chicken at Panda Express, & who likes the honey walnut shrimp..... vid idea possibly. Cheers

Every Australian screamed NOOOOooo when you picked up the Fosters

I live on Rhodes Greece and belive me when i say that i wish we had those prices over here..its so expensive here

Love your Walmart shop. Which one is it ? Definitely not as manic as the tourist area ones

Now you are in the UK go and have a look in our supermarkets I think you will be surprised at the increases and I'd say your prices are cheaper over there 😊 also fruit and veg are super cheap in the us compared to UK eg the pineapple you'd probably get a tiny tub in the UK for the price of the whole pineapple 😂😊

Did a box of Little Bites "jump" into the cart (trolley!)?? 🤔😉

Just wondering how far out do you have to go to get a non tourist Walmart? Looked a lot nicer and calmer than the one we usually go to.

Bazza all I can hear when you are shopping is “fork handles” 🤣

Just wondering if you could possibly discuss average salaries in the US please. Here in the uk I beleive it’s about £35k. And minimum wage £11.44 per hour

Which Walmart do you shop in? The one we went in on holiday 2 weeks ago seemed much more expensive for fruit. Are they more expensive the closer you get to Disney? Also every time we went in it, it was like Tesco on Christmas Eve? It’s so quiet in that one. 😮

I heard you mention you lived in Virginia before. I live in the Hampton Roads area and was wondering what the food prices are like there compared to here. They seem about the same.

What gets me every time when visiting FL (from uk) is that the price you see isn’t the price you pay as tax is then added

You really need to shop at regular grocery store in your area. The prices at Walmart are not the best deal anymore, you can get things way cheaper if you shop the grocery ads and sales and plan accordingly.

Love a Walmart walk around!! Do you think Americans would enjoy a tour of Tesco? 😇🤣

Hi guys trying to catch up on vlogs as we have been away cruising around the Greek islands with Virgin, where is the Walmart located we think we went in there in December but not certain, we are back over in November would love to catch up with you both again, ps we are visiting Las Vegas on another trip do you have any Vlogs on Vegas ? Keep safe Andy and Vonnie

Bloody ell prices over there seem to really have rocketed ,every thing seemed so much higher , one thing was the muffins at $3.98 , i buy mine from aldi which are really chocolaty & there £1.39 , i used to love food shopping over there cuz the prices were pretty good & you had so much more variety then over here , how things change ,funny i was talking to an American who thought our prices were higher here then over there seems not lol, i used to go to publix

Not a great difference to us in the UK now. My weekly Tesco shop before Covid used to be about £60. Now for about the same amount it's roughly £100.

Very expensive in Florida now it was never that expensive until 5-6 years ago and then the prices went wild especially fruit

A lot of people go to Walmart for some items and then to Aldi for other things, both have reasonable prices on many items, the difference is Aldi tends to sell more off brands or generics compared to Walmart!!! 🤔

hi just watched your vlog ,you might think food is alot cheaper here in the UK but I beg to differ now.i was in asda.the other day and they wanted 8pounds for a box of fish fingers couldn't believe it ,the food over here has gone so expensive.

Your not really keen on the chopped salad r u 😂😂...so we get chopped salad. Funny! Tried them pink cookies this year mmmmm

Wow!!!! Way cheaper than in Ontario Canada! (even with the exchange) Me and my family will be in Orlando for 3 weeks in August, can't wait to go grocery shopping, I'll actually save money on food. Also everything in Canada seems old and rotten, everything looks so fresh there!!!

Interesting. Do miss the cow tail candy. We don’t miss wally mart . Prices here in the uk are so much cheaper. Always found Walmart veg was chilled and when you took it home it didn’t last. Great video

Just as comparison we are near Houston Texas and y’all’s prices are very similar to ours here and even the same on most items it seems. It’s prices on groceries all over that have continued to rise unfortunately.

When is the puppy coming and what breed?

Some of the American stuff is more expensive, but they are bigger packets than we get , so it probably evens out by the time you do weekly shop

One thing I have never understood is how expensive orange and orange juice is in Florida as it's the sunshine state and the orange state , I always thought they would be really cheap. Also always strange that bacon and sausage always seems to be turkey not pork

I’m wondering if you eat out a lot as there didn’t seem to be anything in your shopping to make a meal?

I love American supermarkets! So many choices.

Prices seem lower than here in Atlanta.

Which Walmart is this one … I like going the none tourists ones because they sell the good halloween Christmas stuff… the turkey lake one doesn’t sell much of the seasonal

Hi question for you not really shopping related,can you buy a one day Disney ticket for Hollywood studios/Epcot.tia

What Walmart location is this. I’m in central Florida and out of the tourist area and mine is still a madhouse!!

I think your prices were much higher than ours in Wales last time you filmed but this time I think we are more expensive than you. Max the same happens with me if I take my Mr Bazza Shopping I can add at least thirty pound to the bill. I mainly shop in Aldi, I did our big shop in Tesco last month and broke through the £200 barrier for the first time. I was horrified and wont be doing that again Ow Much I hear you cry. We used to have Salmon quite regularly but its just too expensive now. Starting to get excited about our visit in October.

Get your spices for Aldi, 99c and they are McCormick spices

Cheaper there than here on the little island of Jersey that's for sure.

My food shop has doubled in price in the UK and items are much smaller 😕

I don't think its that much more expensive apart from the fruit. Our local Sainsbury's charges £3.80 for Bonne Mamon jam, and honey nut cornflakes are nearly £5.00. Id forgotten about the giant sized containers of juice etc over there, we used to buy Motts apple and loved it.

For fruit go to a fruit stand, fresh veggies etc

Some of the prices weren't too bad for what u get Barry. The UK has went absolutely bonkers on prices for literally everything.

I visited USA last summer, Orlando in fact. I was horrified by the prices. It used to be the same as U.K. but I thought it was about double U.K. prices now. Walmart horrified me, almost no offers, everything expensive.

Hi. Which Walmart did you visit?

I was just at Walmart yesterday and I got a lot less than what you got and I think I spend $120 and I’m in Clemont Florida

Do you bake Maxine? I love to make my own biscuits and cakes.

We've been home a month now and we found that prices had gone way up since last summer. Did you use proper check out or normal, we dislike self check outs immensely. How about doing a "compare" shop at Publix, we like Publix because you still get served at the check out. How's retirement suiting you Bazza?

What location is that Walmart guys?

I think expats think it’s expensive in Orlando compared to U.K. however I don’t think there’s much in it. Publix is pricey but so is Waitrose. The weather here is shocking. Had to call off a bike ride today as teaming it down and 12 degrees -was winter cold. Crazy. Give me Florida any day! Wages were suppressed in the U.K. for over a decade due to unlimited cheap imported Labour, but wages now going up and prices have risen.

How long have you lived in the USA for x

Try Irish prices 2.70 euros for a pan of bread

Do you shop in Aldi apparently cheaper than Walmart

Costco could save some money for you guys, could be a good vlog

Strawberries 4 dollars, grapes 5 dollars, corn 3 dollars 50 for two, tomatoes 2,60, bananas 1,30 a pound, appels 1,50 a pound, carrots 3 dollars a pound, chicken filet 3.60 dollers for 200 grams. Shocked mainland Europe groceries are more expensive than in the UK

yikes at those prices makes Marks & Spencer look like a discount store take care guys x

Trader Joe's and sprouts are good for fruit and vegetables in California

Visited the UK in 2022. Did a big shop in Tesco, which included liquor. Was amazed when the total was just over £100. Same kind of shop in the US would have been well over $200. Food price and quality is so much better in the UK.
