The market can be a lot cheaper because it's supply driven rather than demand. If you go to get certain stuff it's about just as expensive, if you look what is cheap because of the season or just because of lots of supply that week and base your recipe on that, it can be a lot cheaper. Also with fish, it's called fishing and not catching for a reason, this doesn't apply to salmon but a lot of North Sea fish strongly varies in price with the catch. Supermarkets also make a lot of profit on what people need to complete their recipe with. Taugé (bean sprouts) for example are 10 to 20 times more expensive in the supermarket. Fresh herbs, Asian, Mediterranean and Carribean herbs, spices and veggies are actually affordable on the market too. Parmesan is hugely overpriced because it's in so many recipes too. Pecorino or an old Dutch hard cheese or a mix is so much more bang for your buck.

There is one good reason to always peel potatoes. Potatoes contain an alkaloid toxin named solanine, which is mostly concentrated in and directly under the skin, but also in green parts of the plant including potatoes exposed to light and bruised parts of the potato. Peeling potatoes allows you to also remove green and bruised parts, thus reducing the intake of solanine. While healthy people don't normally suffer adverse effects from eating potatoes, there have been cases of pretty severe poisoning, so it is better to reduce the risk.

Wouldnt say we eat alot of fritatta's, quiche is more our vibe. Above any of that would be a Boeren-omelet btw, which is just a big omelette with tons of veggies and mushrooms.

At the end of the afternoon, when the market is almost closing, you can score great deals; als je dat leuk vindt; onderhandelen in de namiddag is heel logisch. Als ik de tijd heb ga ik naar de markt.

The market used to always be the cheaper option. We even had a saying or a song about it used in commercials: "Op de markt is je gulden een daalder waard". But, why do I go to the market? Only a few things: Cheese, Fruit and Fish. Those are always better. And most people go there for vacuumbags, but also stuff like duvet-covers. And off course you can go there for fresh stroopwafel. PS use chicken thighs for every chicken that is not served as a filet. Múch juicier.

There is one thing that is rarely available in the supermarkets. Ripe, sweet fruit. That is definitely a quality difference between market and supermarket. And, of course it will be only available during the actual fruits harvesting season, where the supermarket will also sell tropical country cherries outside of our growing season. But the really nice, sweet cherries one still finds best at the market.

Fresh food is always better at the market, there is no doubt about that.

A market baker will probably have a couple of the main/ popular breads available uncut and unfinished. These usually need 15 minutes in a preheated oven, giving you a fresher than fresh bake. Ask your cheese guy for some salted butter to put on top. You'll be amazed.

I don't know how things are now in The Netherlands but we used to go to the Rotterdam market every Saturday to buy groceries for the whole week and the Ingredients for the Indonesian dishes my Mom cooked for the weekend. It was Dutch food from Tuesday to Friday but Indonesian food on Saturday and Sunday with leftovers on Monday. Wednesday, for some reason, was always stampot with Meatballs Day. We were blessed that my Mom's hobby was cooking and she learned that at a young age in Dutch Indonesia helping her Mother in the kitchen.

oh yum we just had some white asparagus soup with chives and little ham cubes 😋

It's said in the comments here already: it really depends on which market you go to. Here in Rotterdam the big market at Blaak is easily half the price if it comes to fruit and vegetables. It's even like 10% of what supermarket prices are if you come at the closing hour of the market. But the prices at my local biological market are easily double that of an Albert Heijn. In all cases: I prefer the market over any supermarket any time.

This was a really interesting video and touched on our questions regarding market vs grocery food. When we were in the NL, we went to the Leiden market every Saturday of our visit. The cannoli from one vender where the best cannoli we have ever eaten. Just outstanding. Another vendor was selling a variety of meat pies that were most excellent. We bought a variety fruits and eggs from the local and Leiden markets and the quality was excellent. The grocery store food was pretty good, and while we did not do a comparison cook off like in the video, our gut feel was that the market food was better, at a slightly higher price, but worth it. For the cannoli and meat pies there was not comparison. Our experience was limited to a three weeks and meals were basically breakfast or simple dinners but we were really impressed by the markets. The grocery stores are smaller than in the US but that was really not an issue.

Just moved to Groningen. I love going to the market there! My favorite days of the week.

I just love your analysis and research video’s.

I think the meats and fish on the market might also be a fair bit fresher. These products in supermarkets have first spent time in distribution centres getting packaged and stuff. And they may have sat at the supermarket for a few days before you purchase. I would like to shop at the market more often but working full time I hardly have time and on Saturdays, I usually just want to chill. I order my groceries at AH every week and pick them up. I started doing that in 2020 because of Covid and kept doing it because doing the big shop on Saturdays at the supermarket often wrecks my nervous system (I'm neurodivergent) and I often need recovery time.

The market by far is the most cost effective when you get to know the stalls, but remember in season veggies are preferred shopping there.

Big surprise for me is that the market is in two cases more expensive then the store. It should be cheaper, because of less costs (no shop, no heating, etc.). That's always what they advertise with, "On the market your dollar is worth a dollar and a half". And of course, thnx for the video.

Many cities ask heavy fees for a spot on the market. The times that the costs were low are a couple of decades in the past.

A predictable outcome, but still lovely to see and hear your reaction. Markets offer food that was less handled and is slightly more fresh. On top of that they have to compete with the supermarkets. Competing in price is difficult, but quality is very doable. I think that explains the difference. Hey and it's more fun to go to the market (well at least when the sun is out :-)). Another lovely vlog, thank you.

Interesting comparison, just one thing this video is based on one particular market ( Dordrecht) witch is slightly upscale as far as markets go. Since you lived in Rotterdam you are probably familiar with the Afrikaner market witch is definitely not upscale and doesn’t ( in general) have the highest standards for freshness of food. It will no doubt be cheaper then both the supermarket and the Dordrecht market . There is also quite a difference depending on the day you purchase ( the midweek market is definitely of less quality then the one on Saturday) Perhaps a video comparing markets might be interesting.

Market versus supermarket, it Depends on the individual vendor and sometimes Franchische takers of supermarket brands. My local Jumbo in Twello has an attached bakery. At the market you have Bakerij het stoepje. The bread from Jumbo is better.That same Twello market has two greengrocers. One is more expensive but better quality. The other is selling ready packed bags at a lower pricepoint but it is less fresh. Markets can be cheaper than grocery stores. The Zwolle market has better quality vegetables. Unfortunately the choise of vegeteables at the Deventer market is lacking in the vegetable department.

This is a great idea for a video! I really enjoyed it. The fish especially looked much better quality from the market.

Hi guys.. We really love your experiences in the Netherlands. I lived there from 1961 to 1996 ans stll recognize a lot of the past.

You should not know where the food was from when you are tasting it.....and then guess during tasting where the food was purchased. I just think it is more fair that way. When I lived in Sassenheim I never noticed differences......that is why we watch you guys......we actually got educated. Keep up the good work.🥰😍 Willem.

We buy milk, eggs, butter and cheese from local farm in Wassenaar. Sometimes we also buy meet there. All is there produce. Also we order meet in bulk from other farm. Occasionally we buy fresh fish at the market too. We also try to buy at local stores. Market is always better because food is fresh, but more expensive than in supermarket.

Between Market and Grocery store its very debatable with price the market often is cheaper but the market but this depends on where you are as market prices can vary to what town/city you are in! So in Arnhem prices are higher than in the city nearby called Zevenaar and Zevenaar is more expensive than the towns surrounding it!

Market food is fresher. Also it depends to wich city or village you go to the market. The prices of the products depend on what the seller has to pay for his/her market stand. If you go to the Hague the prices are cheaper than in Rotterdam. In small villages the market prices are more than when you go into a big city. The prices at the Hague market are very cheap.

Agree, that's a great place to visit!

The two things I kind of missed in this video is 1. the prices of vegetables change alot throughout the year, based on what is in season. Right now asparagus would be much cheaper, same with other spring vegetables. 2. Fruits don't compare, grocery store fruits are honestly not worth their premium and the fruits on the market are both cheaper and tastier. Again especially when they're in season. Right now you'd be able to get like 2 baskets of strawberries for 3-4 euros, where in Albert heijn you'd get one of those for 5 euro.

I already knew before watching the video you would prefer the dinges from the market qualitywise. I'm surprised only 1 out of 4 from the market is cheaper. However, as suggested in comments from other subscribers, in the last hour of the market you can get some pretty good deals over there.

Very nice concept for a video! The bread for the Kip Kerrie HAD to be "baked off" a little more, at least the right side one. And that was the better one? Phew! :-)

white aspergers aka the white gold. I am gonna eat it this weekend for sure. and indeed the market is the better option.

All nicely said and done but in my hometown the market is only on Wednesday (10-17) and as a fulltime working person, 8 hours weekdays with 30 minutes lunch break, I don't have the oppertunity to go the market so I have to rely on supermarkets. And that applies for a lot of people with fulltime office hours jobs. But what I sometimes do is go to a farmstore (Meinardi Noordbroek) on my route from work to home which is open till 18:00 and now in white asparagus season they are also open on Sundays.

Very nice video! Loved it :) would like to make those frittata! Kind regards from amersfoort.

On the market you usually pick the deals, not so much specific produce to make a comparison :) like last Saturday, I wanted to get some blue berries, but the strawberries were 2 boxes for 3 euro, that’s a kilogram of strawberries for less than what one box would cost in the supermarket.

The market (Tuesday and Saturday) in Spijkenisse is *meh* but you visit it anyway; look at the library, the church, walk to old city hall and the old jail 😊

As an Australian moving from Adelaide in South Australia to Sydney in New South Wales, fresh produce markets are one of the things I miss the most… the benefits and savings from farm fresh, local, in season fruits and vegetables cannot be overstated. In Australia the fresh produce markets tend to be be significantly cheaper then the supermarket equivalents. There are several reasons for this including the fact that they are normally staffed by the farmers themselves or their family members. Their profit IS their wage, so there’s no additional wage built into the price, along with profits to keep shareholders happy. The cost of having a stall is minimal compared to the rent of a supermarket. They don’t have to pay for storage along the way, and distribution, and haulage. They just throw the extra produce in their car and off they go to market. They often sell just their overproduction, or wonky carrots which get rejected by supermarkets, so it would just get ploughed back into the ground if they didn’t take it to market, so they are prepared to sell it at low prices as they are happy to be making anything at all from the sales. Also, there may be 20 farmers there selling carrots, so competition is high whereas there may be only one or two supermarkets in the area with little or no competition to keep prices down.

And the market is gezellig I think 😊

Interesting, this was a serious comparison, professionally done, my compliments, also Michelle seems to be a very good cook. I was a little suprised that the market won in all four dishes. I saw that you bought Stolwijkse kaas on the market, which is a very good cheese, may be that helped somewhat for the market to win in all four foods. Note to self: not be lazy and visit the market more often to buy fresh products there.

Of course I think the most things from the market will be tasting better because it mostly is more fresh than the grocery store. But the price of the grocery store you did pick is mostly the higher than if you did pick a different grocery store. Albert Heijn is known as the most expensive grocery stores in the Netherlands. So the price of the grocery store also depends which grocery store you pick. For the price I would not pick Albert Heijn.

12:42 Missed out on a chance to be a true Dutch couple and complain and nag about the weather :P. Little note on the remark about grocery items from a supermarket being cheaper as an option: we have been buying potatoes from the market quite a couple of times because not only we could pick the amount that we for sure can eat in time, but they were also better tasting, with, typically, less bad spots in them. Next to this, not having to be forced to buy a kilo of them, we did not suffer the problem of potatoes going bad (in either taste or bad spots in them) before we could finish eating all of them. While the amount of money we payed was a bit above the supermarket price for a full kilo, we almost always had to throw away 1 or 2 small ones that went bad simply because we do not eat as much potatoes that we can finish a 1kg package.

Remarkable: the market quality might be better, but obviously not cheaper anymore. During the 60s and 70s our town markets used to advertise with the slogan 'Op de markt is uw gulden (ƒ 1,00) een daalder (ƒ 1,50) waard'. Obviously things have changed quite dramatically since then.

I think its verry nice to make this video and also brave strangely enough, but Michelle made the meals look good! 👍..In the early day's you had the markt slogan "je gulden is een daalder waard " like, your 1 euro is 2.50 euro worth.

(I watched this 10-month old video as you referred to it in your recent Market vs. Grocery meals video. Besides, I'm a vegetarian, nearly vegan.) My choice of shop could be clear from topography: I have Dirk in lugging distance, Jumbo in Plan-B lugging distance, then Albert Heijn and Vomar just before the nearest market. So it's Dirk first, Jumbo for additional items, and "Appie" for additional additional items. However, I have a few groceries and butchers (what's in a name?) aimed at people with roots in Türkiye, Morocco and Poland in intermediate distances. I won't hesitate to visit these, but I have adapted to Dirk. Or rather: I have managed to spend an average of €50 per week on supermarket purchases for forty years now. Prices elsewhere may feel choking to me. I'll go shopping once a week (basically), and I'll buy different types of vegetables (leaves, stems, fruits) that I'll prepare with basically alternating potatoes and rice, occasionally replaced with pasta or beans. (For a couple of years, I have also been likely to buy pre-cut mixed vegetables.) I also love mushrooms. Once at home, I can be sure of (1) fresh vegetables (and fresh fruit and enough toilet paper) for a week, (2) being within budget (most of the time) and (3) having variety in my diet. A diet that may well be healthy. (Problem: I should eat less or move more.) Special notice: I'll eat Dirk bread for three days, then bake my own for the other four days.

It’s so surprising the cat isn’t trying to eat the salmon off the plate 😅 Mine was all over it when there was fish. Trying to get on the table and take it.

we reference an earlier video that we did that explains it so it shouldn’t have been much of a challenge 😅

Surprised that the market eggs and AH eggs were the same price. At our market, the eggs are 2 euros cheaper for a box of 10.

Agree on the potato comments. Skin on or skin off, they are both great

Never tried this myself... good idea, however I might take your results as guidance... BTW the cat showed a lot of attention while you guys tried the Salmon... I wonder why... 😽

You should also try like a Turkish supermarket

This has everything to do with which markets and which stores you go to and little with markets and stores in general. Unless you live in a small town, there's no such thing as "the" market.

The vegetables from the market is second choice .what is not good enough for the supermarket is sold too the market merchants.but still good too eat

In Indianapolis, IN, USa the markets are more expensive and usually the same products as grocery stores. Pretty sad. Ten years ago it was different, markets were great here. Now it is just about profit and not quality. Most vendors are selling what is labeled as farm fresh, but it is not from a farm direct.

I sell cheese for a living on the marketplace, and I would love to cut you guys a quality Dutch cheese platter for a proper video like this one. After witnessing you on this drop journey, I'd love to take you on a proper Gouda one. From young farmhouse-made graskaas (almost in season!), all the way to brokkelkaas you can no longer cut slices off, with optional expeditions into classical combinations like the Boeren Leidse with cumin seeds, the Frisian cloves-cheese, goat cheese with fenugreek, and some more novel herbed cheeses. In Dutch, 'pittig' is also often used to describe intense savory flavors, which you will find in the traditional boerenkaas. I'd love to make this video happen, but feel free to politely decline ;)

To make this test properly - neither of you should know which is market or supermarket - sub consciously you have pre conceived thinking (Spent 30 years as a retail buyer fresh food buyer)

Why not? 😂

You chose AH as ther geocery store. There a lot morenoptions for groceries which are a lot cheaper. I think that when you compare a cheaper grocery store the taste is still better feom the market but then the pric difference can actually be worth it.
