Hello all! This week we wanted to introduce you to one of the major bonuses about living where we do - the fresh fruits and vegetables here! We'd like to make this into a game of sorts. The caption below the picture lists all the fruits and veggies that we bought last week - what do you think all of this healthy deliciousness cost us? Please leave a comment if you care to venture a guess. If any of you would like to do a US - DR comparison and pick up an identical grocercy list in the US, that would be neat to see, too! Happy guessing :)
Have a great week and be blessed! SDG
2 red bell peppers, 2 head of garlic, 1 red onion, 2 mangoes, 1 cucumber, 1 zuchhini, 1 small eggplant, 2 large tomatoes, 3 bananas, and a bunch of cilantro. |
I bet it's easy to eat "Paleo" where you are! Lots of love to you two :)

ReplyDeleteAlright, we've left you waiting long enough! Thanks to all of those who participated in our little guessing game.
ReplyDeleteWhile fresh fruits and vegetables are certainly much cheaper here, they apparently are a bit more than most of you thought. The total for all of those items was 170 pesos, or $4.45.
We're not exactly sure what this would cost in the US, but I'm sure that for two mangoes you'd be looking at at least $3.....
Joe. You are the most proficient person at produce pricing that I have ever met. How's that for alliteration? Please send me some Guac's.
