HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2019
- Life in Puerto Rico is a little different than what we were expecting. What’s the deal with the packaged produce when shopping? How hard is it to get around on foot? And what about the strange roadkill? Is grocery shopping more expensive in Puerto Rico? We go to a local Supermarket near Boqueron to find out.
We talk about:
-Being a pedestrian in Puerto Rico
-Packaged produce
-Local coffee
-Why everything is so expensive
-The Jones Act
-Roadkill
-A strange Puerto Rican snack
… and more!

Thanks for watching, guys! Do you think Puerto Rico expensive? Also, join us on Patreon for BTS content!:
That's not a supermarket is a little grocery store is very expensive I recomend a Econo supermarket, Amigo, Pueblo, supermax, real supermarkets and more, more cheaper.
You HAVE to make your own sofrito at home!!! Store bought is NOT the same :(
Just FYI..I am from this area. Down this same road ..many businesses have a farmers table or a corner and sell some things like bananas, piña, plantains, root vegetables etc that are not imported or pre packaged. Keep a look out..they are not always there. ♡ But you can get lucky.
First thing that’s a must in PR is a car 🚗
Another comment, Puerto Rico has a problem with stray dogs. And iguanas are not native to Puerto Rico, they have actually become a problem.
Lo bueno que compraron en un pequeño negocio cosa que muchos puertorriqueños ya casi no hacen GRACIAS POR CONTRIBUIR CON LOS PEQUEÑOS NEGOCIOS EN LA ISLA😍
Yes...the coffee is finely ground because almost nobody uses the fake coffee brewers that are commonly used in the US.
Wow so much goodness in one video! Groceries, vocab, prices, plastic, snacks, and the Jones Act! You two are on fire! Love it. I remember watching the Bourdain episode about PR and learning about laws that require the island to import its pork (etc). Why this isn’t talked about all the time is beyond me. (No, actually it’s not. It’s all 💵💵)
If USA takes out the John’s act Puerto Rico would be better we wouldn’t be paying double for things and waiting for USA to ship us the things !
You are close to correct on the Jones Act. The Jones Act requires all produce and other transport to Puerto Rico to be on US-built ships. If merchandise is in a US ship, no transfer is necessary. If it is on a non-US ship it needs to be transferred. Jones Act sucks, you guys are great!
Friends be careful, walking on the roads here is very dangerous!!!
I'm from Cabo Rojo and there's a supermarket in Las Arenas, called Centro Ahorros, just in front of 101 West Restaurant, is cheaper than Ritamar.
This is my hometown! I've been living in Spain for 12yrs, and I miss it so much. I can't stop crying ❤️❤️❤️ (I always complain about how unwalkable it is when I visit 😂😂)
We say PESO instead of dollar because there was a time when we got our own currency called Peso Puertorriqueño. I love your videos!!
Damn, living here with no car is horrible! My husband and I spent about a month without a car when we first go here last year and it was awful!
All Puerto Rico’s Problem with economy growth is because of the Jones Act my friend.
Puerto Rico has some of the richest most delicious coffee in the world and children are raised on strong coffees like Bustelo. I had my first cup at 3 yrs old and was hooked.
The Jones act is very unfair for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and no one has done anything to eliminate it very 😔
"Look at how cheap Gas is in Puerto Rico!"
