Supermarkets in UZBEKISTAN🇺🇿 Look what I found here! 

Fun Fact: The reason pepsi was everywhere is because they were the only western brand to invest in Soviet Countries during the 80s. Others did try to work there way in - only PEPSI actually invested in building Soviet owned manufacturing plants and bottling.

I was in Uzbekistan in 2005, supermarkets are much better now. Back then, there wasn't much available and prices were high. Most locals then bought their vegetables and meat from old soviet style markets... which back then had very cheap, fresh and high quality fresh food.

I had an Uzbek mineral water a while ago and it came in the most beautiful little bottle I’ve ever had any drink out of ever. A very nice water inside too.

I had not expected a visit to a supermarket to be such a grand adventure! Prices are so low there that it would almost be cost-effective to travel to Uzbekistan from the USA just to shop for groceries!

Your life has been so greatly affected by recent political events, Natasha. We benefit because you now share the world around you as you travel. I wish you the best and hope you are safe and well.

I'm not trying to be condescending but "I am taking this all" is probably one of the most adorable things I've ever heard

Ok, the mooing milk machine kind of made my day 😊. I truly love grocery shopping.....my Wife is happy that I do. We in 🇺🇸, see nuts and fruit from Turkey, and occasionally grapes from chile. Lots of frozen veggies come from Mexico now. Julian frozen pretzel bread with butter and sea salt from Germany is a fave of ours.

just come back from a week on holiday in Uzbekistan. Great people and sights, I just wanna add to Natasha's good doc that uzbek salary is aorund 350$-400$ a month and that prices could fit in Italy's grocieries, but we have a 1.500$ payslip. So, that prices are quite high for ordinary uzbeks.

Speaking of Soviet Koreans. In my neighborhood here in NYC, there is a supermarket run by a family of them. You see them and think they are Koreans, but then hear them speaking in Russian. Anyway, the owner once told me the story about the transfer by Stalin, so I am familiar with this. Also, one of the long time employees at the store is an Uzbek woman. I think I am the only person in the neighborhood that knows this story. As for trips to supermarkets from other countries, I like to see them. I am always interested in what domestic products are availabel, but also in how American corporations have expanded their tentacles seemingly everywhere. Take care.

The most amazing thing I ever saw in an Uzbek grocery store is . . . Natasha! Enjoy your journey.

I was impressed at how modern and well stocked this supermarket was.

I love seeing the different foods that people all over the world eat, I just had breakfast but I really could make room for some of the things you showed.

As an American I know that Kinder eggs are the things that people always say we don't know about but we have them. I've never had one but apparently they just took the toys out when they sold them here because there's a rule against putting toys in food here.

With current situation, it was nice to see comparison between Russian and Uzbek markets. Also, we do have Kinder here in America. Stay safe.

What was so surprising for me, is that you got back to making the kind of videos that caused you to become famous and what attracted me to watch you, back when you still lived with your parents. I'm glad that you're still using your English skills. Big 🤗 from 🤠

I never knew that my local grocery store needed a mooing milk machine. Now that's all I can think about.

Thank you again for fulfilling my curiosity on food prices and availability. I always wondered about that. Very happy your RU-vid channel is doing so well. Always interesting. I don't watch TV anymore. I get so much more from RU-vid and your channel is one of my favorites. Love you.

The videos you post are very entertaining and educational. Love them.

I loved the milk machine. Most of the.prices were much lower than markets in the USA. It is nice to see a country doing well. I very much enjoy your shopping adventures. Thank you.🦋

I find this quite interesting! To be honest, I love vlogs that bring me into places that I know I'll probably not see otherwise, even something as mundane as cafés or supermarkets in other countries.

I miss your friend Depressed Russian. I did sub to her too, but haven't seen her for ages. Hope she's okay.

Ayran is very common in Turkey it is generally consumed with dinner. Ingredients: yoghurt, water and salt.

I like seeing grocery store in other countries. I saw some products we have here in the suburbs of Chicago USA. Pepsi, Dole canned fruit and Shin fancy Korean noodles. Keep up the good work Natasha.

It is nice to observe how, although we have different cultures, different lifestyles and consume different products, supermarkets are the same all over the world.

Every Canadian & American child from the 90s/00s is very familiar with the Kindar Surprise. While groceries are cheaper than in North America it is surprisingly not as affordable in Uzbekistan as I would have imagined. I guess food prices have risen globally after '20.

Uzbek mooing milk machine! ♥️🤗🙌🇺🇿

The fermented, sour, and salted cheese balls is a great idea to preserve cheese without cooling. It looks tasty, but it isn't a food item in America unfortunately.

I love KimChi. It's fairly expensive in the US - about $4.50 to $6.00 for a 14 to 18 oz jar (400-450 grams). I could eat that whole jar in one sitting. I prefer the more Americanized versions that go light on the fish paste. You can get it cheaper at the Asian grocery stores and in larger quantities, but they always go really heavy on the fish paste, which I'm not a fan of.

Good to hear from you again, Natasha. You have a wonderful day as well.

Hi Natasha the coke is really cheap there towards the UK ( 3$ ) . In the UK we have Heinz, Dole , Nestle', Lays (Walkers)of the things i seen on the supermarket shelves . Nice to see you and as always take care be safe😊👍

Pittsburgh, where I live, has an incredibly Uzbek restaurant named Kavsar. We also have a really nice Halal grocery store and restaurant named Salem's, which carries food from around the Middle East, Central Asia, and other Muslim countries.

I wish our grocery stores were so cheap the inflation here in America is outrageous now. That $0.44 can of coke cost's $2 here!! Oh and also we do have kinder eggs 😊. Thanks for another amazing video Natasha 🎉

I missed you my country. Very, very delicious and healthy foods and groceries. It is very difficult to find kind of thing here in Los Angeles

Lots of similarities to Turkish foods, Ulker brand is Turkish I believe. Sunflower seeds, ayran, pickled veg etc all very popular in Turkey. Surprising they've managed to keep many similarities despite being split for quite a long time. Also seems very expensive given the average salaries there. Even basic goods are not much cheaper than in the UK

eggs in Uzbekistan is twice as much as here in Chicago. That was surprising. Coke and Pepsi are about 1/4 of the price here. Bread too, is really cheap in Uzbekistan. I enjoyed the video very much

Wow! It seems that Uzbek products cost a lot with all those 0s! I love these kind of videos! It is always a pleasure to watch them. Thank you very much Natasha for this great video

We have those "Kinder" candies in the US. I love the mooing milk dispenser!

This is a really fun vlog!

I enjoyed this video, Natasha. Was happy to see how hospitable the director and sales person was to you. Comparing food prices is a fun way to see different standards of living.

That's awesome. I've spent the last couple years traveling around Southeast Asia and I *always* have a nice slow wander through the local grocery stores just to see what's weird and what's just like back home.

I was surprised you didnt know Ayran, practically the national drink of Turkey (alongside tea). Hope you drank it cold. Liquid slightly salty yoghurt, not as filling as Kefir. One of my favorite summer thirst quenchers

Dear Natasha, thank you for sharing this video. I visited Uzbekistan in 2018, it is a beautiful country, I visited Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Ferghana Valley. Here in United States the Kinder Eggs are getting more common but they are regulated for safety reasons.

Food seems so much cheaper there than in the US. Wow!

I was flying out of Chicago Midland Airport and items similar to the Mixed Snacks 13:55 were selling for $15 to $18. Of course there is a major difference in median income. In Uzbekistan it is just over $4000 while in the US it is $56,940.

Wow 😳 Natasha, great review, good prices, you look great, love ❤ you 👌

Thanks for the grocery store tour Natasha. But the mooing milk machine was the highlight for me. Whoever came up with the idea to have a cow mooing from a machine is brilliant. It got your attention (and mine). I say more mooing milk machines are needed everywhere.

You are a gift to the world. Before the war your videos had me planning to visit Russia. Thank you for the daydreams

Somehwat surprised to see they have german products like the Ritter Sport brand chocolates there. Also impressed that Ferrero sells and produces all around the world, their Products like Kinder, Raffaello and Nutella etc are everywhere if you look long enough.

I love the mooing milk dispenser 🐄! Prices here in America are much higher. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

your stores are very similar to stores in the USA. Just different manufactures, different labels, different language, but the items are similar.

As Italian I have to say that generally speaking we have more fresh and local products. Naturally beverages and chocolates are the same but as you can imagine we have a lot of tomato cans, pasta , fresh vegetables and fruit and fresh local cheese even if there are cheeses from all over Europe.Lately we pay more attention to Km0 products.

I was in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, a few weeks ago, and I visited one of Korzinka branches multiple times, and I would say that I really liked it. You missed something, though, which is the fresh bread they bake. Also, in my humble opinion, I don't think that we should always assume something negative whenever someone comes to talk to us. I believe that the store manager truly wanted to offer some help. Even if he wasn't going to help, he still had the right to ask if everything is OK as it's so rare over there to see a vlogger making a video inside a grocery store. Also, the straight couple photos on the chocolate pack you're complaining about, do you think that your wishes/demands are realistic? Remember that it's not California or Canada :-)

prices were really great by the standards here in New Zealand. Keep up the great work. I love the surprises like this one. Best Anthony

Glad your wholesome, purely adventuring videos are center stage again. Stay 💪

supermarket trips are always fascinating when it isn't on your country

Interesting to see a supermarket in Uzbekistan. In my mind such a different place, but when you show me what is on sale, not so strange, just a bit different. More things unite us than divide us, even in food! Good episode, as usual, Natasha!

I'm surprised at how much of the packaging is in English. An American would have no trouble understanding what's inside most of the packaged products.

She's back! Love it. ❤

My father loved travelling to a Uzbekistan. It was one of the last place he visited before he died in 2003. We are Persian, and the Persian culture is reflected in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan . My dad used to tell me how cheap everything was back then. Looking at the prices of the super market I am realizing that it really isn’t as cheap as I thought it would be. Definitely does not resonate the prices my dad used to tell me about. And I also have a feeling that such trendy looking supermarket didn’t exist back then. Great video, nevertheless, I would’ve love to see the price of fresh produce like fruits and vegetables

That looks like a nice store. Looks similar to one of our smaller stores. The items are generally similar to items we have in the US except different brands and cheaper.

I could live like a king there after comparing prices to here in Canada

I enjoy your video. Mostly because I like seeing how things are in different places round the world like you show us, but also your youthful personality and the way your voice sounds. You have sweet voice. I always like it when you say goodbye in Russian. :-)

Thanks for the video, really nice mix of products! I really like these supermarket videos. I'm always very excited when I visit supermarkets in different countries. They all have their own different vibes, and surprising things to try

Thank you for continuing your videos. I need journeys like yours, too.

G'day Natasha how are you going good i hope , i am from planet Australia 🇦🇺 🌏 it was interesting travelling the Groceries store with you i must admit we don't have Electronic Cows 🐮 here . You have a very clear and concise speaking voice , i can barely speak English and make myself understood and I've heard that all my life 🙃 .

Bloody brilliant. Thanks mate. Keep it up.

To me it looks no difference with the Supermarket in Khabarovsk 😊😊😊 Thanks for sharing.

The prices are less expensive there, than in USA

Love seeing your travels and comparing of cultures and foods

Surprisingly interesting video. Reminds me of when I was in Dublin in Ireland and looked around a supermarket, it was similar to what I was used in England but also different enough to be fascinating in its own way. Every place seems to overlap a bit with its neighbours.

Thanks Natasha. This was fun and interesting, just normal stuff like your old videos from Spassk. ♥

Love your grocery store vids.-there is always such a interesting variety of food. I was surprised that some of the foods were higher than here in U.S. Are you a good cook Natasha?

Great and well edited video. It would have been interesting to use that milk vending machine. Who knows what happens once you press that button 😎

Наташа, еще раз потрясающее видео. Любовь и мир ❤✌☺

Some items were more expensive than in the Upper Midwestern USA while other products, especially the local ones, were really inexpensive. 5.5 pounds of potatoes or 2.5 kg would make you feel like you were stealing them in one of our local markets. Kinder chocolate eggs are sold here but they are toyless. The sausages would be considered extremely expensive here. It appeared that the market in the video had more freeze dried food and many uniquely packaged prepared foods that we would buy the items separately and then put together at home such as the dumplings and meat. Usually, you would need to make your own dumplings in this part of the USA. Canned pickled items are uncommon here but my wife makes and cans our own from our garden that we grow because she found out that I grew up on homemade canned and pickled vegetables. ( including pickled tomatoes, try them they are really good) I bought her a freeze dryer because she doesn't like to stand as long as canning requires. ( I used to come home to help my mother can as she got older and it required long hours on your feet) Lately, we occasionally make our meat and dumplings or similar and then freeze dry the mixture which preserves it for about 20 years in a heavy plastic bag. ( you can store it at room temperature on a closet shelf) You have to add water to re-hydrate freeze dried products and then heat it on a stove or in a microwave. Now that I think of it such products could make a great group of grocery store products. It might even be better than the mooing cow dispenser.

Natasha beauty and intelligence❤

I also enjoy looking around supermarkets in different countries very much😀

Fearlessly exploring the food shops of the world. The Kurt cheese sounds interesting. I must try and find some in London. Keep up the good work.

I saw some tins of Heinz Baked Beans in one shot, they seem to get everywhere now. Overall quite good prices compared to here in IE but that depends on the average wage there.

We got very few of these items in regular supermarkets in Ireland, but most can be got in the European shops here. I think prices here are more expensive but then wages are higher. That poor cow is missing her green fields 😮 nice video

That was nice. i like your daily life videos(market, street etc.)

Great video! It's cool seeing the store in Uzbekistan. Thank you for posting!

Very interesting video and I am amazed at how cheap everything is! Thanks!

I liked the mooing milk machine. I have never seen one in an American market, because milk is always sold packaged, not bulk. Do Uzbekis eat greens? In the US, we have specialized refrigerated shelves for greens (spinach, broccoli, radishes...) that spray them with water every 20 minutes or so, keeping them fresh. Some of this equipment plays a recording of a thunderstorm while the spraying is going on - which is nice, and makes it seems like the greens are fresh out of the garden. Some US markets have signs at the door prohibiting people from taking videos, glad you were able to let us in !!

We have Ayran also in Sweden, i like it. Very good when it's hot. And the milk dispenser is also a think here, but there is no sounds from it. It's for local milk and way more expensive than the big brands. The prices seems not so cheap.

I've been following you for the past couple of years since I married a Russian woman. I was delighted to see this video because we happen to be visiting Tashkent for the month and there is a Korzinka just down the street from us that we've been to often. I don't recall a mooing milk machine, though, so I'll have to pay more attention the next time we go. Keep adventuring! We love to watch you.

Thanks for such a "light" video. Just what I needed.

Good to see the quality of life in Uzbekistan is not to bad,the supermarket is well supplied with good choice, a sign of a progressive stable culture and country ✌️❤️🇬🇧

The most striking differences to the US is the variety of sausages, we don't have the fermented milk and cheese section of various cottage cheese and sour creams. I loved the mooing cow milk machine!

Interesting insight into the available foods in Uzbekistan. A really good selection !! Very close to the products available in Poland. Ha ha !..that cow mooing machine is cool 🐮 The management sound very customer service orientated !!

Excellent video - thank you Natasha.

As an American, I'm very familiar with Kinder Eggs. My kid always tries to get me to buy him one when we are at the supermarket checkout line.

Hey Natasha, Greetings from USA / California ! Come visit us again sometime 😁😁

Another great video! I like it when you visit supermarkets

Imagine having to work in that store with the cow machine all the time! I recognise some of the products from a European store near me run by Polish people and Ukrainian girls work there. I live in Northern England where many Eastern European people came to live and after the readjustment to the former Russian territories

I always enjoy your grocery shopping videos! It’s very interesting - the prices and local or imported products. I’m surprised to know that the Japanese word “iwashi” was adopted there!

I'd have to watch the clip again and pay close attention but two things I noticed is that the price of goat cheese is about the same in Uzbekistan as it is in the US, which is about $8 per pound. I also noticed that eggs are about $1.29 in the US at the moment but they're about $1.75 in Uzbekistan. It was nice to see you again, Natasha, as always. You're adorable.

I'm in New Zealand and most of those prices would be very good here. I love the mooing milk machine 🤣 I'm so glad you didn't get kicked out.

Hi Natasha. Yet another great social commentary video. On my travels over the years, I have shopped in supermarkets in 14 different countries. It is always fascinating to see the differences in the prices of both standard and more specialised items from country to country. Of all the items that you highlighted that are available here in Australia, only the non dairy milk was more expensive. Some items are much cheaper (i.e. the Pepsi is $3 Australian, about $2 US compared to the 80 cents).

Thanks Natasha! Very interesting. I love all your videos!
