AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Belize Life Living in Belize Monthly grocery bill

Not assuming anything just wondered
Be interested to know what a family spends per month with all the kid related stuff

Kids in Cayo, Dad in the Cayes. After my $200 for groceries, they get the rest of the $$!!!! Well worth it though!

Your kids are gorgeous, SIN.

Weekend bbq

Fantasy on saturday and John at the Beach sunday helps cut our grocery bill lol

Sometimes we travel to Ritchies or San pedro supermarket for a different shopping experience.

Otherwise we stick to the usual Big tree, Super Buy Green House and occasionally Island Supermarket.

Billy's on middle street has some decent prices as well.

I went to that bulk store http://www.santiagocastillo.com/ today with Kra-z-k and it was totally worth it either to split items with a friend and if you know your pricing for what you get elsewhere.

They also deliver.

I would recommend checking it out. Thanks Indy for getting us inspired to go there.

It's my bar bill that's a killer.......food bill about the same as the US. Tacogirl, we went to San Pedro's "Costco" last time we were there. I have to agree the prices are great!

� The fruit and vegetables here are sooo good! We call them "Ugly Carrots!" Friends who will not eat cooked
� "pretty carrots" in the states love my cooked carrots here. The same goes for Cauliflower and Broccoli. Instead of potatoes I cook rice with most of my meals.
� Fresh fruit in season can not be beaten.
� Once you have a connection with a fisherman you can get sea food at a reasonable price. I like shopping the European way - buy what you will eat today. This save so much on wasted food.
� I do not "stock up" like I did from Costco. When I moved here I gave away a walk in pantry full of food.
� The food is so good that everyone tends to eat less as it is more satisfying.

tacogirl,
Where is Santiago Castillo located?

It's right down the street from the ice cream/putt putt golf place.

Ice cream/minigolf is long gone.

Try..around the corner from Island Internet...
