My experience shopping in a supermarket in St. Petersburg, Russia.
-—
I lived for two years in St. Petersburg and I have Russia in my heart.
In this video, I turned a Russian supermarket into a filming studio! They almost kicked me out that day! 🤣
Here I’m sharing the best shopping tips, what to buy, and what Russians love to buy!
I’ll show you the prices and translate them into dollars.
I even convinced the lady at the counter to film the checkout process! Enjoy guys!
