Beautiful!
Wow... you're starting in Vicky Road ....outside what used to be Cappers Radio Shop😊 Lots of my family lived at the top end. Just after what used to be Brennan's Store in the old Chapel. There used to be about 4 grocery shops in Victoria Road. But I'm talking about early 70s Ross 😂 Watching from Italy 😊
Oh wow!
I live in guernsey absolutely beautiful
No rain here in Norfolk u.k but it's very overcast we were expecting it but nothing.
Today in Scotland it was 14°c and pouring with rain... This has not been a normal summer for anybody
Overcast but dry here in Norfolk.
What are you doing in the rain hahahaha😊
Looks like a typical day in Scotland 😂
What stores or apps are available to download, where one can do online shopping and delivery ? Thanks for these insightful videos. 😊
Alliance is way better..
Half a cucumber.....😂
I don't know about prices but all that plastic - everything pre-wrapped - wouldn't be allowed here in NZ. Fruit and veg are all loose and you put them in paper bags and weigh them. Your total would be nearly 300 NZ dollars - a lot of money!!!
I find it funny that Waitrose is considered expensive...yet Alliance is far more costly
Hi Ross I guess there really isn't much in it, some items more expensive, some not, I would be buying more fruit and veg than you did though. Also I would buy Ibuprofen at 500 for $35, but you don't seem to have large quantities like that, I also think that you have more variety in packaged food than we do, but I found it more interesting.

Some pretty premium stuff in your trolley - I think the price is comparable to what we pay here in Cornwall. If you want lower quality stuff, there's always the Iceland Store in St Martins.
@@davidc6997 They’ve not long done a price comparison on the island and Iceland was the most expensive and Waitrose/M&S being the cheapest for a trolley of basic essentials!
It makes sense for me to move there if im doing remote or a Business owner otherwise it doesnt seem to be worth it. It beats the caymen islands £15 for fish fingers(youngs or birds eye) Giernsey is cheaper than I expected I wonder if jersey is cheaper.
Cool!
Gosh Ross....thats rather expensive. Such a shame there are no Lidl/ Aldi on Guernsey, especially if you have a young family. 😮😮
Not just your food, house prices are also high.
My car insurance is high also 😅
Just checked prices for most but was strange everything in UK Waitrose was cheaper until got to toilet rolls then every thing was a dearer.
I've always noticed it seems like the refridgrated/frozen products are always about 10% more expensive but when you get around to Alcohol/Soft Drinks/Toiletries etc they tend to be cheaper. I would assume it's due to the extra cost of transporting a refrigerated trailer plus the additional wages they need to pay in Guernsey which are higher than the UK.
Hi Chris, I live in Canada and the price of toilet rolls has got stupidly high, I keep looking for the sprinkles of gold. They keep trying to brainwash us here in to believing that the price of groceries is dropping, but when you buy so much of the same thing each week you only have to look at your previous receipt to know that is not true. I have been buying my toilet paper online for months now because the deals are better and in most cases shipping is free. Lesley, Victoria, BC. Canada.
Going by Forest Stores (which I love btw) some of the prices were almost double what they are in the UK
I agree that all is more (very) expensive on Guernsey.
Very interesting, thanks Ross! Comparable to Austria, on premium supermarket level even a bit cheaper (apart from the toilet paper!). But we have these large discounters such as Lidl, so you can go a bit cheaper over here. All in all not that bad!
An expensive shop although Waitrose is seen as a premium supermarket brand here. Guernsey needs a Lidl or Aldi, that will get prices down with a bit of real competition. I never shop in Waitrose except at Xmas as they have a better sea food range for Boxing Day treats. I shop at Sainsbury which usually price matches to one of the discounters also has discounts if you have a Nectar loyalty card More generally Guernsey is very expensive. I was there in mid-June at the Duke of Normandy for 6 nights B & B no evening meal which cost more than 7 night half board at the 4 star beach-side hotel on Lanzarote my wife and I like to stay in. Unlikely to return to Guernsey at those prices. My sister and I were there for a particular reason to remember my late younger brother., including a trip to Herm when I was last there in 1972 swimming at Shell beach with my siblings, The only cheap thing in Guernsey were the bus fares which are a real bargain
We thought we were going to get some cheaper stuff when Morrisons came over. Turns out they are one of the most expensive places.
Cool! I’m subbing

I do have a random question, but if you had the choice to make Guernsey a country, would you?
No, probably not😆
