  • Hey guys!
    Welcome back, where I look at the prices of groceries and products in Rams Supermarket Grenada!
    Currently £1 GBP / $3.42ec and for US it is $1 US / $2.7ec. Please note the currency conversion would have been different at the time this content was filmed, and the prices of groceries may also have increased since too.
    Thanks for watching!

    This area is a hot spot for university students and wealthy people, so some goods are priced for their pockets.
    However, I live in Sauteurs, St. Patrick's and the cost of groceries is astronomical as well.
    I sometimes shop at Foodland for meat and Real Value for yoghurt, snacks, and juices.
    Whenever I travel to London, I always pack 2 barrels, which helps a lot.

    RAM is mostly for foreign students, not really for locals as we have seen most of their products are from America. Other supermarkets include Foodland, Food Fair, and Real Value.

    Why you want to shop there it is not intended for the average person it caters for foreigners with money there is no price control in this country you can't compare it with U K everything is imported even eggs you need to try the local grocery stores ,

      It is indeed - local supermarkets, and mini marts are a lot better in terms of costs!

      I personally believe it is just priced for the intended buyers i.e tourists, students, and those locals that can acc afford it!

      Come on ! What happens to shopping and comparing prices, (** going elsewhere?*") Did view and compared prices, and decided no way. Products are mainly imported yes, but other supermarkets cater for all. Besides the distance walking between products, turned me off. Too tiring. No one holds anyone $ hostage, to shop anywhere. By the way, who says students are rich? Stop begrudging others. 😮Stop generalizing! Be real, doing what is best for self? Wrong attitude, change mindset! Please!
