Impossible $10 Challenge in China’s Favourite Supermarket 🇨🇳

A $10 challenge at Yonghui

On Tour With Dridgers visit Yonghui Supermarket in Xiamen and try to spend only $10 USD. They compare the store with supermarkets they know in the UK, noticing a wider range of rice and noodles. Pringles cost less than in the UK, and the couple look at different Oreo flavors and other snacks. The aisles also carry household goods, bakery items and chopsticks, giving them a broad view of what the supermarket sells.

A pick-and-mix section lets shoppers choose items and pay by weight. The couple find it different from the systems they are used to. They also remark on the price of alcohol, especially beer, and find it inexpensive. Alipay provides a way to pay using a QR code, which is useful for a visitor learning how payments work in China.

Comparing everyday shopping

The couple discuss plastic use, comparing their impressions of Chinese supermarkets with their experience in India. They view China as making better use of plastic, while describing India as using too much. They also note how many rice and noodle options are available compared with UK supermarkets. Pringles are another price comparison: they are significantly cheaper than the same product in the UK.

During the challenge, the couple try different snacks, including savory biscuits and uniquely flavored Oreos and Pringles. They interact with supermarket staff and comment on the helpfulness they encounter. Their shopping remains within the budget, and they reflect on the affordability and variety they found. The visit is an everyday look at food shopping rather than a tour of major attractions.

Finishing the challenge

The $10 challenge turns routine grocery shopping into a way to compare prices, products and payment methods. The couple leave with a mix of snacks, drinks and other items while keeping under budget. They look forward to exploring another Chinese city in a future video.

For travelers, the supermarket offers a chance to see the range of rice and noodles, buy snacks and use Alipay at checkout. The pick-and-mix section is priced by weight, and beer is described as inexpensive.
