In this vlog, I take you to a Vietnamese supermarket in District 1, Saigon. I take you through the entire grocery store and show you the prices of everything they have. Anyone wondering about the cost of living in Vietnam should definitely check out this video!
My shopping list consisted of what I was eating for dinner that night and a snack. I got some chicken breast, avocado, eggs, crackers, and soy sauce. I also got some chicken pate for my cat. The total cost of all of my groceries was 150k vnd or $6.25. I'm not sure exactly what this would cost back in America today, but I know that the grocery prices here are significantly cheaper than in the USA.
Even though I had a relatively short shopping list, I wanted to make an informative video for people thinking about moving to Vietnam, or people just generally interested in the cost of living in Saigon (particularly the cost of shopping for groceries). So I went through the entire store and reviewed the prices of every item including:
-fruits
-vegetables
-fresh meats
-cold cuts
-dairy products
-frozen foods
-noodles
-rice
-sauces
-cooking oil
-spices
-household cleaners
-laundry detergent
-toiletries
-cookies
-drinks
-beer
-and more!
It's noteworthy that basically all of the items are in Vietnamese, so being able to read some basic Vietnamese would be very helpful while shopping at this supermarket. Also, I asked an employee whether or not any of the staff speak English, and she told me no. But you could pretty easily use Google translate to ask any of the employees for help.
For the future expats and travelers of Vietnam, I hope this video gives you a clearer idea of what the day to day costs of living, food, and groceries are in Ho Chi Minh City.
