Last winter we went over to BC with a list of 25 items we had been unable to find in SP. Found every one at reasonable prices. Took going to probably 15 stores. It was a fun little adventure, but real glad to get back home that afternoon.


Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

There is a great chinese shop in Belize City on New Road that sells bulk and Kirkland (Costco) stuff.

now, as for the mainland as a whole, i can tell you that things are MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper in San Ignacio. I head over there about every other weekend or so, and i need to start bringin food back. As an example...Head of lettuce here: $4.50, in SI, $2.

It all adds up!

oh, one better...go to chetemal. Unbelievable how CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP US foods are there. HUGE box of Oreos'...like the size you get at the Sams Club or Costco, cost me less than $2 US. If you are doing a big shopping, like i did when i first moved here, its SOOO worth the price to go. I bought a very large, locking lid with wheels rubbermaid trash can for $15 US....loaded it up with groceries, put it on the plane, and brought it all home.

speaking of all this mainland stuff, I have to go on Friday or Monday. If anyone needs anything (of course nothing too heavy to carry around the city and back on the boat) but within reason, let me know. Happy to bring my travel backpack and filler up!

Chetumal is much cheaper, but get a zealous customs agent and you'll really get socked. I found one of my favorite wines and by the time I paid duty, considered it "sippin whiskey".

Chetumal is the spot! An extra 30 minutes to get there versus Belize City. But, whoa, they got a Wal*Mart (and Burger King)!
