A Nigerian resident in Canada has recently shared her experience of remarkably affordable grocery shopping upon venturing into the United States.
Adeola Adeowo, the enthusiastic shopper, expressed her delight in taking advantage of the cost-effective grocery shopping opportunities across the border in the United States.
Adeola captured her journey as she crossed the border, driving her car into the United States. At the border entry point, she underwent a swift security check and presented her passport to the border authorities before proceeding to her shopping expedition.
Inside the store, Adeola picked out items for herself and her companions, stocking her car trunk to capacity. Upon reaching the checkout counter, she revealed that her total bill amounted to $175, which is roughly N138,000 in local currency. Adeola emphasized that if she had shopped for the same groceries in Canada, the cost would have been as high as $500, equivalent to approximately N394,000.
Her experience underscores the noticeable price disparities in grocery shopping on either side of the border.
For a more detailed look at her shopping adventure, you can watch the video she shared:
