It's surprising how expensive those sports clothing items are. It's also amazing how quickly we are arriving at another winter season. Ofl the items that Valeria showed, I like the cap she was wearing the most of all. I like wearing caps also, but mine aren't that cute !
I didn’t think Alex was gonna let go of that very soft jacket, you should have gotten Valeria then he would be hugging you all the time!!! Nice video today. I think our shoe prices are about the same as yours. For some top brands which no one I know can afford here are $200 -500 that just crazy I would never pay that amount. Take care stay warm ! Love Lisa and David Give Sheffield a big hug and a kiss from me🥰💕💕💕💕💕
Love Alex’s attachment to that fleece jacket. Very surprised that prices are comparable to the UK but surprised there are so many ‘western’ brand names still available there. Guessing it’s sanctions for the smaller firms but the capitalist corporations get free rein 🤷🏼♀️
There are no sanctions for sportswear. If individual companies left the russian market, it was their decision. The same applies if some companies continue to have a presence in Russia.
Prices seem about the same in my area of connecticut usa. Different brands, same or similar items. You have better selections locally than I do. Thankyou for the insight. Best wishes.
Salary? hehe How quaint a notion. You are in any case, correct. We have seemingly unlimited dollars. Its interesting that prices are only now reaching a parity.@@eqntdhjn
Hi Valeria & Alex - Just catching up on my UTube favourite channels videos. It’s always fun and interesting to see your shopping experiences. Everything is expensive over here right now including food - retail - and housing. Take care and Hi from 🇨🇦 Canada.
It looked like you have nice selections for shoes. The price are very similar to what we pay here in the US, which I was surprised. The brand Columbia is a good brand. Their shoes/ boots are nice. I like their fleece jackets.
I tried to find uk prices for the things you looked at but a lot of them aren't available in the UK, the first boot Alex picked up is around the equivalent of 20 usd in the UK, I think most puma trainers would be around 40-50 usd in the UK. the orange fleece is equivalent to 35 usd in the UK. our coffee from a vending machine would be about 2 dollars equivalent in UK. so some things are cheaper and some more expensive. we have loads of strange sayings in England and when somethings are better and some are worse and they balance themselves out we'd say that it was swings and roundabouts. which is a bit of an odd saying really!
6:30. Those combination fork knife spoon is amazing! We have trouble to find sneakers here in Morocco due to men's size 46 is not for sale. So only option is to buy in other country if we go or mail order! Also name brand sneakers are double price of Europe
I am glad she is using relatable American music for her RU-vid channel. It makes the videos easier to watch. Hope she keeps the music service she is paying for,
@sharonmaresh: I'm a Minnesotan and prices are irrelevant in comparison to income thus your income and economy dwarfs the average Russian by alot. Cheaper does not equal ability to purchase. Sanctions are actually working but because the average Russian is Stoic, they will suffer it without change sadly.
@@ImForwardlook Average salary in August 2023 in whole Russia is 69.439 rubles, that's $750, not $300. If average salary in Russia was so low, there wouldn't be any shopping mall or store opened.
Valeria and Alex , Thank you for showing us your shops at the mall . I noticed you said Columbia , that is a sporting goods brand sold at sporting goods stores or online ., here in the USA. Good quality , not cheap prices ! Sporting goods are not cheap and last well ! If you ever visit the USA, let us know . Would be fun to meet up ❣️
Columbia Sportswear is based near Portland, Oregon, and is famous for ads with former board chair, Gert Boyle sending people to inhospitable environments to test the company's products. Besides Columbia, their brands include Sorel, Mountain Hardware, and Prana.
I know the blue small gas container. I use the big one for a one plate gas stove. Do you have socks for very cold conditions? I bought Mohair socks. It's very thick at the bottom and warm.
I don't know if it's local taste or not, but the footwear looks like older models. It has an early to mid-2010s look to it. Also, you can probably save $15-20 by buying them online. I know Amazon doesn't do business in Russia, but there must be another such retailer by now. I recently watched a video about the income of the average Russian, and these prices seem to be inaccessible to large swathes of the public. This is disheartening on all accounts, the folly of ego!
- Valerie, you should do a video on how you learned English and how you continue to improve on your English. Also, it would be interesting if you gave us one or two new Russian words in some of your videos.
Prices are pretty comparable to the prices here in the US. I do not see much difference. Now what I find interesting is most of those items are made in China not in the US, I thought you got them for way less.
What is the average salary in Moscow/Russia ? Your prices are similar to Ireland but I imagine your average salary is less than us (€14.85 per hour /$16) 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
@@ImForwardlook The lowerest paid advertised job I saw was 63k rubles, that's Vkusno & Tochka. I literally haven't seen any other job ad lower than that.
Wow that was a big store with a lot of big prices. I am glad to live in Florida as it gets 50F and we are in a deep freeze 🥶 😂😂. Tomorrow will be 75F I’m still wearing flip flops 🩴 😂😂!
@@annasawyer9433what are you talking about? In Moscow average salary is at least $1300. In whole Russia average salary in August was 69439RUB, that's $750.
I am soooo sorry ...very upswtcans angry that my ignorant barbaeic country does this to the wonderful, beautiful people of Russia. I wonder why our country, our peoole are not sanctioned. It is nit my fault, but PLEASE know many people in USA/Canada are WITH YOU....Sheffy and the beautiful people of Russia.
Your prices are much better than in Alberta , Canada . Good to see your both having a good life in Russia considering the situation . Stay Safe Always , God Bless you both !!!
