Just returned from are usual trip to the mercado to pick up the usual staple items. Our refrigerator is a bit smaller than it's USA cousin so we can only get so much.
The prices are generally reasonable, as I had mentioned before the beef prices are by far the best.
As you can imagine the fruits and vegetable that are not South American or grown locally can be priced anywhere from wow, to oh wow!
Other food items can also be quite expensive, case in point. I noticed there was only one type of whipped cream on the shelf, around $7USD. Most likely locally made too!
The peaches and strawberries are in season, mmmmm. Priced cheap!
One vegetable that always makes us laugh is the bell peppers, be it red, green or yellow. They are always HUGE! I took a photo next to a 2 liter bottle of wine to give you an idea how big it is.
