This Spanish woman recounts in tears what happened to her in a supermarket in Argentina, without the well-known brands and with a format that is not the one I expected. It is the biggest cultural shock that a person can suffer, going to the supermarket without knowing what to buy. We are faced with a series of fundamental elements that will surely end up being those that mark an escapade like that of this young woman in a Latin American country that should not pose so many problems for her.
We know Argentine cuisine and it is one of those that we can try in Spain. Language facilitates the realization of any change, in fact, it helps us to make a series of details a reality that are essential and that you may not have taken into account until now. The way we buy in a supermarket can be decisive, especially if we have to face a changing situation that we may not have taken into account until now. This young woman explains her experience to us and does it in such a way that we can know at all times what awaits us these days.
Go to the supermarket in Argentina
The first the time she goes to the supermarket, she is spanish He is on the verge of tears. He acknowledges that in his hometown he is an unconditional fan of Mercadona, one of the supermarkets in our country with the most followers, which is not a coincidence, quite the opposite.
There, he has been guided by some brands, but he does not hesitate to also bet on Hacendado products. The problem arises when you have to start thinking about how Argentines shop. The culture shock begins when they do not buy throughout the month, but rather according to their needs.
Something that we should implement, even if it costs us more. Perhaps the fact that we are descendants of a post-war generation or the fact that it costs a little more to find what we want at the supermarket makes us start thinking about a series of changes that we must take into account and that are essential.
It is time to start thinking about buying less or doing it sustainably, so that nothing affects us, quite the opposite. We can get more with less, starting with a healthy diet and as it was done before. Buying everything in its place, fruit shops, butchers and fishmongers, going to the supermarket only for cleaning or branded products.
What you find doesn’t make sense

This Spanish woman went to the supermarket and found almost no known brands. Instead, they had their own brands and a very special way of placing food that left more than one in shock when they saw how they had each ingredient they had in the kitchen.
In plastic bags difficult to distributethe dishwasher or detergent, but also ketchup or milk. These are plastic containers that you will hardly be able to control, or unless you have a little practice. The fact that it does not have a dispenser is a plus, especially if we take into account that this element is more expensive and must be recycled. They are plastic containers, but more durable and cheaper, which is something to take into account in these times.
It is time to start thinking about everything that is still to come, to consolidate a series of details that are fundamental and that can end up generating more than one force majeure problem. More precisely, a cultural shock of not knowing what to buy, but also how to manage it at home.
The only thing that pleased this young woman was the popcorn that is not bought to be made in the microwave, but rather in the pan. Something that Spaniards of all ages have done or do. It is a way of remembering the good old days, when kitchens did not have microwaves to heat milk or cook quickly.
Argentines know how to save on appliances and purchases. The Spanish woman is also surprised by the way they prepare food, at high speed and with what they have at home. Something that was also done in those houses where people learned from a young age to live with money up to date.
That is, credits were not available or it was not so frequent to go to the bank. The family economy was based on savings, what could be bought was bought and what could not be bought was not. So, in the end, what is happening in Argentina has perhaps not been seen before in Spain, in a period of crisis that seems to be returning.
