Our Groceries BRITAIN VS AMERICA - food prices in UK vs US

Closest big cities for these shops: San Jose, Ca and Edinburgh, Scotland. Prices will vary widely based on your location and store. We chose Safeway vs Tesco for this video as we know them well and could choose the closest comparisons. When store brand items were unavailable at Safeway, price was not shown. Therefore, we would choose a name brand product and would do the same with the Tesco option.

Here’s a short and sweet cost comparison for you! Please give us a LIKE or SUBSCRIBE if you learn something new or find this interesting. Google says British groceries are 33.6% lower than those in America, so we're here to see if that still rings true as of November, 2024.

*A QUICK NOTE - Although the prices shown here are from a Tesco in Scotland, a family member in Northern England confirmed that his Tesco prices were similar (hence the UK vs just Scotland title). Let us know if these prices are similar to your Tesco and/or Safeway! We also have a large British audience, so we did all the conversions for you in GBP (ALL 39 products!).

Since moving from the U.S. to the UK in May, we've been waiting to do this deep dive. Enjoy and thanks again for watching!
