    Inflation all over the world but we have to give thanks....the plus with Jamaica is that we can get ground food more fresh someone can give you a hand of banana or something there is always something there to eat....🇯🇲❤

      That is the plus with Jamaica we can get grown food cheap or free. I am learning from your channel. Thank you.

    I saw only about 4 bags and they were not big bags. This is why i have plans to grow some things because it is distressing to see 4 small bags and not much.

      She actually had around 6 to 7 bags on the counter, the difference with me living in the USA, I have to shop at three or four store to get a deal or use coupons.

      @AnnaYAH5315 We had a few more bags and the shopping is for two weeks. It is definitely worth growing as much as you can both for the health and frugality. 💯🎆🌞

    That not bad for $215 USD because I shop for two adults, I usually spend about 250 without buying meat or snacks

      It's pretty close to what we would have spent in the UK for the same period. Although we haven't bought all the things we would have there. 💯💎🎶

    If you're exchanging foreign currencies to Jamaican dollars, you'll get a better exchange rate on purchases using a creditcard. Check at the register.

      Thanks, if ever we are in that situation we'll definitely explore. Although it's worth confirming so others are aware. 💎💯✨

    For a family of four, it's pretty normal. No matter where you live.

    Don't think most jamaicans can go to supermarket and spend 33000 on shopping.

      Some people think so and that was two weeks worth of shopping... 💯🤔

      @LifewiddiJamFams your video doesn't relate to ordinary jamaicans it's for returning residents like yourself. Some jamaicans still have a hole in the ground for a toilet. What's the minimum wage in Jamaica is it not 15000 jamaican dollars a week. So even if your 33000 is for two weeks someone on the minimum wage couldn't a weeks shopping.

      ​@@tonyc6736some folks in the USA are still going to soup kitchen just to eat or beg on the street.

      @tonyc6736 Thanks for engaging with our content. There are different income bracket in every country and Jamaica is no different. Where are you watching from and what is your weekly shopping cost for your family? 🤔🧐
