They have a low income in Georgia, so the prices are more acceptable for foreigners. As for alcohol, they drink too much wine here, many families have a private cellar where they strain the wine. Personally, I prefer beer.

As a tipical Georgian watching this video i am enjoying watching this video love that fact that u guys are super positive and didn't said anything bad about our store haha.. and i wanted to say that for u guys as a tourists its good price but as a georgian with normal job who is getting 700 - 900 lari a month ( i am not saying that i have that no but 50% of georgians has that kind of salary) its not good price there its middle almost too much but i am happy that u enjoyed shopping

Actually, the prices for rice and pasta in big packages are quite high... Here in Belgium, you would get good quality rice for 1 euro per kilo, and no need to buy a huge pack. The same goes for fusilli... So it is more or less the same, or even a bit more expensive, than in Belgium, and that's crazy, cause the salaries in Georgia are much lower...

I used to visit this Carrefour almost every day when I lived in Georgia for a year. Everything still looks same.
Visited this supermarket in Tbilisi, Carrefour is common in some parts of Europe and Middle East
Similar prices as in Romania, or even higher, except those 5kg rice and pasta, they are really cheap. I expected some lower prices though.
Great bargains. I am heading to Azerbaijan in April, close to Georgia, and just got my visa approval for Pakistan in September. One day I will be able to travel like you guys, 😄 keep it up 🇮🇪🇨🇦

The central Baku is definitely a beautiful place. If you go towards out of the centre it is a bit dull and you feel like you are in Soviet country. For regions, Sheki, Gabala and Ganja is fascinating.
Prices of goods may be affordable for tourists, but for an average Georgian It's actually WAYYYY overpriced

just to know prices you see now is almost tripled than it was years ago :). back than it was really really cheap. 12:03 this i guess is cornbread in round shape to eat with walnut stuff

I really wish you guys come to India just to try foods in here nothing else, every state in India has at least 20+ foods of its own, with each state having a different cuisine.
Unfortunately, due to the low income and small salaries, the majority of prices shown in this video are above average or high, at least for locals. There are many other places Tbilisi where you can get the same or better products for way cheaper prices. As for the tourists though, Georgia is a very cheap country and probably a must see destination, especially if you consider how much of different stuff you can see, do and experience there. And I'm not even talking about food or hospitality yet, which are beyond great of course. Edit: Also majority, about 80% of the products shown in this video are imported from different countries since Georgia produce very small variety of things. Well of course I don't mean wine, cheese, bread and some other stuff. There is no problem with that there.

@@XxoEtherealDragons Not gonna lie, I have no clue whatsoever what potentially can cost you 800-1000 Lari for 50 items. That's a huge stretch in my opinion cuz those are exactly the average salary in Georgia and spending literally every dime on groceries is just unrealistic. I guess you had a lot of stuff beside groceries.

over 10 years ago prices were the half of what you see in markets lol, and that pack of mayo you see thats not a mayo its a cheese sauce its just melted cheese or the one you have in burgers and other food... carefour is mix of imported and Georgian produced products, we have lots of beer and we love it coz beer is one of the traditional drinks from our mountains, and about wine its more than 6k yo tradition as i remember, and bresd is like 10k yo tradition in Georgia, which makes my country the origin of wheat and grape, bread and wine... tnx for showing everybody how unic and beautiful my country is, for further questions text me and we can plan ur next trip in Georgia better next time ill help u with that

Looks like 35% of the products are imported from Turkey, according to the packages, another 35% are from Russia, and the last 30% are purely Georgian products. And on those local Georgian products, the labels are in 4 languages - Georgian, English, Russian and Turkish. And really nice prices for most things, although Carrefour was never known for being a discounter or a cheap chain.

The Russian writings for some products are not always linked to Russia in any way. Some products are from Belorus (which uses same font) and Ukraine (pretty similar font), also, some European companies that distribute products in Georgia use different packages for different global regions and they (unfortunately) use Russian language for post-soviet countries to make it less costly for themselves... so you might find russian-font packaging in McDonalds boxes for example, even though these boxes doesn't come from Russia. But yes, some products are imported from Russia as well, just not THAT much
