You know what's interesting about Erewhon... it's name is derived from a novel of the same name by Samuel Butler, a novel that depicts a fictional country that, upon first glance, appears to be a utopia, but definitely isn't. Butler got the name by spelling "nowhere" backwards (although transposing a letter), as if to say such a place isn't real. This novel was specifically depicted to satirize Victorian society regarding several matters. "For example, according to Erewhonian law, offenders are treated as if they were ill, whereas ill people are looked upon as criminals. Another feature of Erewhon is the absence of machines; this is due to the widely shared perception by the Erewhonians that machines are potentially dangerous." If Butler's Erewhon was deemed a society to satirize Victorian society, so too the Californian grocer Erewhon, frequented and partnered with by Californian royal families such as the Kardashians and Biebers, can be deemed its own "society" to satirize Californian society. That said, the joke here, at least for now, is on you, the plebian wagie who would entertain spending $22 on a Hailie Bieber smoothie, with the punchline being you thinking you can be a part of "them", the Californian royal families. As far as you're concerned, the grocery store Erewhon is just as much "nowhere" as the country described in Butler's novel. (I'm also aware that Justin Bieber is Canadian and the Kardashians are Armenian. If that was the fixation you made here, you drastically missed the point)

After watching this i realized Erewhon is just taking rich people for a ride with these ridiculous prices. I mean, $9 for a cheap ass tofu? Come on. What Erewhon fanatics are paying are not the food, but the freedom to not shop around regular people.

And here I was thinking that Kanye peppers were some exotic ingredient I'd never heard of. 🤣 You should have dipped the tenders in the tumeric dressing!

Well I think her point is the smoothie has a lot of ingredients so the price makes more sense and pesto is just basil olive oil (I think it has pine nuts and Parmesan?) I think all of it is ridiculous but I understand her point for sure and she keeps mentioning the price so I think she agrees haha

Pays $20 on an $18 product because of the bottle deposit. Jackie: I think it is a little deceiving. Girl, aren't you American?? The fact that you have to calculate taxes over the listed price for products (while in the rest of the world it is just included) is an internet meme.

The pesto is expensive because it has pine nuts, and these are very expensive. They should make an alternative cheaper version with cashews.

The bottle deposit thing is more of a thing for milk in other stores. I kinda like the option for more products 🤔

I'll never understand people complaining about air in a chip bag. It's so the chips aren't crushed to dust. It's common sense.

Never consumed deer antlers? Haven't you ever had Jagermeister?

lol the prices at Erewon are the normal grocery prices here in Canada

Some of the prices are absolutely wild, but I was a lot more okay with the cost of certain items on this video than I thought I would be. Like, there are gourmet, delicious hot sauces that cost between 10 and 20 dollars. Premade salads and soups are close to that price in most grocery stores. Even the six dollar health shot was average, considering most I’ve seen are 4 dollars. But 20 dollars for almond butter? Absolutely fucking not.

Don’t add salt, I’m on a renal diet due to kidney failure, trust me eating less salt definitely helps. If your ankles get swollen after walking around all day, reducing your salt intake will make that stop. Give it two weeks, you’ll taste and see the difference

Thank you for doing this. I mean that sincerely because I could never, would ever. Just too pricey. My limit is Fresh Market or Whole Foods when I got money to burn 😂

Great Video !

Writing the “worth it” items here mostly so I can screen shot for later: - Cococcino coffee - Collard greens kale wrap - Tahini turmeric dressing - Masa tortilla chips

“Organic Kanye Chili” 💀 Highlight of the day

Girl didn’t even read the ingredients on the pesto, it’s full of nuts which are hella expensive and the reason most chefs swap traditional pine nuts for a cheaper nut like walnuts.

You should dip the turmeric chicken tenders into the turmeric dressing.

imagine paying $12 for chiles en vinagre jajajajaja

I’m here early. Wow! I can’t afford the regular people groceries so …no.

I would never, but here’s how I will justify some things. Imagine you went to a restaurant. You order a pesto dish. How much would that cost you? Add a couple glasses of wine. Now how much? Going back to the pesto, how long and how many dishes can you make from it? Buy any cheap pasta of your choice. Have you wine. Now $21 doesn’t seem so bad. Chances are you’re not going to finish off the jar in one meal. Meanwhile at a restaurant you probably paid much more for 1 dish with pesto, and you didn’t get to take home the leftovers of the pesto jar.

I tried the chips. Good crunch but they tasted burnt. The peanut butter was good though.

Trying 25 items from Nowhere

Pesto for 21 usd .. that better be made from that best basil in Italy :D

I can't justify the price either for that pesto & i love pesto but hell no. 😂 I'm gonna need it in a bigger jar than that for the price 😂

she feels the hot-sauce is kinda Kanye, lil bit crazy. lol

Turmeric chicken tenders lol that’s definitely Malaysian street food Ayam Goreng Kunyit but nicer

Not sauce on a spoon 😂

You are beautiful and have a great personality!!

Bone broth has a lot protein

Bone broth is higher in collagen than that matcha!!!! 😅

Celebrities are selling you two thingss, their products and their lifestyle. Please don't feel depressed watching celebrities videos. Many of these celebrities/ influencers do not have all of the money that they present. You can make five smoothies with the money that you would spend at this extremely super priced grocery store. Please don't be deceived.

TIL turmeric anything is expensive in America??? I'm in Asia and turmeric costs next to nothing really, fresh or dried or ground. It's a common ingredient when we deep fry chicken or fish so most households use turmeric daily all year round. It's also an ingredient in curries which some cultures consume daily. It's funny that Americans feel it's worth paying more just because it feels exotic lol
