WHAT has happened to the food prices on Svalbard in 2024? In this video, we head to the supermarket, our one and only, to do a big food shop as well as compare some of today's prices with 2022. I was actually quite SHOCKED at some of the differences... I hope you enjoy this video! Thank you so much for being here, I love y'all! ✨

    • farmers in Canada will tell you the exact opposite and the farmers I know in the US say the same thing. Their costs have doubled in some cases...that is a 100% increase over the last 18-24 mos. Farmers are paying today in some cases 300% increase in things like fertilizer and pesticides, fuel is up by 50 % in most places, costs more to run the equipment, more to truck the produce more to grow the produce, seed costs , many farmers have spoken about 100-500% increases in seed costs since 2020. You can find farmers all over Canada and the US talking about the sky rocketing costs to do business and so yes all of those costs are getting downloaded to the consumer. "Corporate greed" is the sound bites our collective governments have been using for the past several months combined with paid on line bots to foster this thought that its just the grocery store owners who apparently woke up one day and decided "hey, I know, lets increase a can of Campbells soup today by 76% that should be fun". No, Grocery retail actually runs on very low mark up, always have. They make their money on the quantity they sell, or the extremely quick turn over of their inventory. I have worked in retail in Canada for over 32 years and was raised on a farm. I know how much the cost to run a farm has sky rocketed and I know the reasons why, I also know that most big grocery chains are publicly traded and their profit margins have not sky rocketed in the last 3 years that is just not so. Do they make money? of course they do, its the whole point of being in business and they commit to their shareholders a certain amount of profit and they also commit to the banks how much profit they will bank in a year, they can not just deiced oh times are really tough for people right now as the cost of everything has sky rocketed so we will hold our prices and take less profit, shareholders and banks do not take to kindly to this way of thinking.

    • When the price of oil, which gas and diesel come from, that is what you get. Tractors, combines, trains, trucks, and other transportation relies on fossil fuels. It is going to get worse if the Democrats get rid of fossil fuels. If we go to all electric transportation and tractors and combine, a loaf of bread will be 10, maybe 20 dollars a loaf. Plus, fertilizer is made from fossil fuels, getting rid of that would decrease production, therefore supply. Demand is increasing because of immigration (legal or illegal). World and USA population is increasing. There are not as many farmers as there was 10 to 20 years ago. Farmland is going into CRP and not being used. All of this is a recipe for a disaster in the supply chain. Grain, meat, fruits and vegetables, fish, and among other commodities. It is going to get worse.

  • I estimated your haul at $340 USD. Pretty similar to what we spend here in southeastern Michigan. I do think we have lost perspective on what is “expensive.” I used to buy a head of lettuce for about $1 and a dozen large eggs for about $1.29. Now they both can be almost double the cost depending on the stores. Can I say how cray adorable is Mr. Grimm eating his Lobnobs!😂. Love you Guys!!!❤

  • Food prices in NY STATE (The City is even worse) are approaching dire. I'm even making my own yeast and other products again. I'm going to haul out all my canning supplies that I put away years ago and hit the farmers markets (knock out the middle man) this summer and can and freeze as much as possible. We go to a local farm that raises their own cattle for beef and I'm trying to source chicken. I raised my own as a kid, but where I am now we aren't zoned for it or I would. I have a huge backyard that if I was able to get a garden set up, I could manage it, I just don't have the strength (or funds) to get it going. WE had a full acre veggie garden when I was kid. We hunted, foraged, fished, whatever it took. We never went hungry but dinners of bullfrog legs, and crayfish, with lots of bluegill, sunfish, and perch were common in the summer. You can buy lots of processed foods cheaper than healthy foods, but even then, learning that mass farming has taken so much nutrients out of the soil, it's not getting into the foods we eat and we need supplementation of (non synthetic) vitamins and minerals...

  • What our supermarkets in the U.K. have been doing is getting rid of all the cheap lines, which is what I used to primarily live on. For example, there would be flour, canned tomatoes and other real basic ingredients that you could use for actual cooking, which you don’t really notice any difference when they are all cooked together. Some were not lower quality, some were just odd shapes, some were a bit bland etc. but it didn’t matter if you could cook. These were all under the loss leader category. Unfortunately they have almost entirely disappeared. So where I could previously pick up a bag of flour for under 30p, I’m now paying full price…..which is several multiples of that easily for the supermarket own version, or into £2.00 and above for branded. Canned veg instead of under 30p (I remember paying 8!) you are again having to pay multiples of that because there just isn’t a loss leader version available. They were all called things like, Tesco value, Waitrose essentials, Sainsbury’s basics. ……..if they were so essential where have they gone?! These ranges were basically there to get people in the store and written off as a loss. But unfortunately we relied on them to actually eat. And they have taken them away. And the offers they used to put the regular food on are few and far between as well. So it’s not just the cost overall rising, it’s the massive changes in availability of food at the bottom end of the range. Most notably in the form of cheaper basic ingredients which are simply not sold. The only thing you can get cheaply is premade rubbish. But if you want flour, or fat, or cheese, or veg then forget it. Unless there are added chemicals you’ll be out of luck.

    • Hey....Lehigh Valley here too (who would have thought!! lol) The biggest thing I have noticed is that it doesn't really matter where you shop...the prices are about the same everywhere. I have seen things cost more at Walmart and PriceRite than Wegmans. Weis' prices are soooo high. The bad thing at Wegmans is their lack of variety. Yes, they have nice fresh things...but I am tired of seeing Wegmans brand everywhere when I want a certain brand.

(congratulations on 800 thousand followers i am sure there will be many more to come) Some of the prices are comparable to here(Thunder Bay Ontario Canada) Considering that your food is flown or barged in some of the things you have are cheaper than here.

I loved watching your shopping trip and yes, prices are INSANE! I've been doing vacuum sealing of dry goods and canning of meals and ingredients for a couple of years now and have a bit of a stock put aside at what were definitely lower prices. But seeing you and Christopher shop reminds me of how truly expensive it's all gotten. Thanks for the education and please thank Grim too because he always makes me smile which is great for the psyche and the endorphins 🙂

  • Hello Ceciilia and Christofer. It is actually very nice to make a new video about your food cost. 1400 USD for 2 seems enormous for me !! We are two as well as my son is an adult but still live with me. and I don't spend as much. The crap cost a lot , like in our country (I am from Switzerland). If I only buy essential and fresh food (I am vegetarian), it will cost me around 500 chf /month plus maybe 100 chf for things you don't buy weekly, like toilett paper, soap for dish, etc.... But living on an island def makes it more expensive as well Thank you for the nice video and have a great week up there 😀😀😀😘😘😘
