    Where we live in Canada pre-made and processed foods are over 75% of what is on the shelves at the grocery store, containing fewer nutrients and lots and lots of chemicals. Buying real food, like fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains, etc. is very costly.
    We have a garden, and buy produce and preserve it when it is in season, e.g. strawberries, apples, squash, peppers, beets. We dehydrate greens, kale, carrot tops etc. so that we will have greens during the winter, as they are beyond our means to purchase.
    The quality of the food you buy is astounding.

    It's difficult to say how much that would all cost here in Melbourne, Australia. I usually shop every couple of days rather than every 2 weeks as I am close to shops. I would spend AUD$150-180 per week on grocery items, including cleaning products. I grow herbs and a few veg, especially Spring-Autumn.

  • @blessedbeauty2293

    - Depending where I shop, our total with inflation would range anywhere between $50 - $80 I'd say. 20lb bag of rice ranges between $8 - $12 USD on average alone, papaya is $3 - $5, chips $1 - $5, detergent $1.25 - $8, ect. 13:00

    I honestly don't know how much we spend on groceries each week. I'm feeding a family of 2 parents and 3 young adult/college kids. Today I spent $54 at Sam's club to get 12 english muffins, 2 pounds of breakfast sausage, 3 pounds cottage cheese, 3 pounds of bacon, 2 baguettes, 4 pounds of carrots, and coleslaw mix. I was prepping breakfast sandwiches to stock our freezer for grab and go sandwiches. My husband spent $150 at the store a few days ago.

    We grow 95% + of our fresh food and prob 60-80% of ALL of our overall food, being plant-based and we still spend around £35 (very similar amount in euros) a week week on food... Mostly chocolate, Coffee, Oils, Rice, flour and.a few other luxury items. 😊 You guys could probably grow heaps of chillies fairly easily out there - we love having an abundance of homegrown chillies here, use them so much more now 🌶Great video - thank you✌🌿

    Regarding stock in the village by the ferry, can't someone there notify you when no stock has come?
    I heard bananas and chocolate chips.... Should you have a blender: slice the banana, freeze it, then blend till smooth and then spoon in some chocolate chips. An ice cream favourite of mine. 😊

    20 to 30.000 rupiah is my daily food /grocery bill here in South East Java . That includes 1/2 kilo of chicken or kilo of fish if available , "often get fish off friends if they've had a good catch " vegetables and fruit . 5 kilo's of rice every 2 weeks plus extras , chillies , garlic , tomatoes , onions , spices , flour , tea , sugar ect . all up 5-600,000rp for 10 days /2 weeks for 3 people . About the same as what you spend . I was spending 2-3 million rupiah , $2-300 dollars per week back in Australia to feed 4 adults for a week . Food is a lot cheaper but the local wages are a lot less than in western countries . Average wage here is about 100,000rp a day , $9/$10 Australian for most jobs , fisherman , builder , labourer , shop keeper etc , I tried growing vegetables here but the soil is to salty and sandy being so close to the ocean .

    I really love it when you have a new video. At the end, you were eating a Mango. It must be a different kind because it's so big & orange meat? My mouth is watering now...(Whenever I see one eating a fruit, I would just think of saving the seed to plant it. Have you thought about it? I have an apple tree which I planted out of a seed. It's big now and have fruits. I tried to marcot a fig tree and so far I got successful on 2. It's fun! Well, at least you have a forest close to you where you can get fruits that were there long time already.

    Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the US... during their takeover they destroyed agriculture here on the island and we produce almost none of our own goods which is unfortunate on such fertile land. Unfortunately the US has imposed something upon us called the Jones Act, this prevents us from having good shipped directly here to the island even from surrounding close islands like Dominican Republic, Cuba or Jamaica. Everything must be shipped to US first then sent over here causing extra taxes and increasing the prices of groceries and decreasing the quality of produce. This makes our island one of the most expensive place to purchase groceries with some of the lowest wages in the US. All of that produce looked soo yummy would love to see some of your recipes 🥰

    Hai, ik volg jullie nog vrij kort, en vind jullie en jullie levensstijl interessant. Nog even over de vochtige lucht en schimmel in o.a. kastjes. Heb je het al geprobeerd met bakjes baking soda in de kastjes? Dat absorbeert vocht en geurtjes en is schimmelwerend. Ik dacht er toen al aan, maar wist niet of baking soda daar verkrijgbaar was. En nu zie ik van wel. Bedankt voor het delen van jullie leven. 🌺

    No way cheaper where I live. $35 USD is $93.45 XCD where I live that cannot buy 1/2 week's worth of groceries. That"s wonderful to be able to have such affordable food 😊

    Wow your groceries are so cheap we pay like $200 a week for two of us. But inflation here in New Zealand is very high if we really budget we could manage on $150.Thank you for sharing your shopping day

    cheaper but limited in what is available. I like how you can catch your own fish. Distance just to get groceries would bother me.

    Ever consider growing chilli? 🌶️ it’s very easy in the tropics and you can harvest quite a lot from one plant :) 🌱 but you probably know this and are already doing it! 😅 ps: love your videos!

    • @OurIslandLife

      Yes we are growing chili already haha :) but we don’t have enough yet.

    In Oakland CA for 2 people we probably spend $250+ per week on food from the grocery store and farmers market. Prices have gone up a lot over the last 3 years! But we also love to eat so don’t worry about it too much 😊
    I’m curious: is it customary to bargain in the markets and stores in Siberut? Or do you just pay the set price?

    • @OurIslandLife
      @OurIslandLife  2 месяца назад +1

      No we don't really bargain here. It does happen in the big souvenir and food markets in the mainland but not here ;)
