Ok, so for everyone questioning the box food price, it is $480 because it’s subsidized. Also this was a beef patty and not a cheese patty ( my mistake )
You are the lucky ones. We who left Jamaica to seek a better life overseas missed out on daily enjoying the beautiful of our country. It's a pity such beautiful country is plagued with violence and killings.
There's crime, but jamaica is a nice place to live in, especially montegobay, ocho rios and negrill I would highly intend anyone to live at these places
Having experienced leaving as well I truly believe if most of us are honest leaving Jamaica was more about the " wanting better" narrative rather than leaving due to crime and violence. Personally I left because I was able to and thought at my young age that I was big woman and just wanted my independence from parents Had no concept of what life really requires, I went to school got a degree as told by parents and just ventured off thinking I will work and pay bills...sigh it's only after 4 years in and going back home that I realized that somethings were missing Peace of mind, knowing your neighbours,fresh air, views of mountains (taken for granted) no fear or pressure of race looming , GOOD FOOD meaning truly organic food which should be more heavily weighted because our health is truly our wealth cliche but true. Mi wah mi yaad😢
When was this? 1 large box food in Kingston or Portmore well ova $480; more like 8 or 9 bills. Demitri, which parish yuh werk?!?! I might haffi get a job dere!😏
I knew a restaurant which sold some of its meals for $200 lunch once. It was part of a bar so maybe that was the reason they could sell at those prices. Then Convid happened and now it $600 or more.
Here I used to spend $100 dollars just to go to work in NYC. $60 gas $28 tolls $25 parking. And that's just leaving the house. Lunch $20. After work drink and snack $15 total of $150 to leave ve in NYC
600 for my fair gym and work 1000 or 1500 for lunch and post workout meal 800 for gym fee 650 for protein shakes 250 for water 1000 meal after work Total = 5,300 or 6,300 a day for me living in negril Jamaica and I get paid monthly
😂😂😂, i laughed after watching this video... Imagine you have a car 🚗 but didn't need to pay for gas... I live in st mary and i travel to Kingston for work and taxi fair alone a 1200jdm (to and fro) I eat once per day and lunch cost 800jmd (poor people dont get subsidiaries) I see u having a nice fruits and nuts snacks and you said you paid 200jdm for that (or is it jus the nuts), because one American apple 🍎 is 100 jmd ¼ lb of grapes 🍇 is 300jmd inclusive of the holiday nuts 600jmd in total .. Before i leave out in the mornings i would drink some mint or lemon grass tea ☕. When i get back in at night the same treatment... Not to mention the patty costing 250jmd... Big fellow not even juicy beef or mother's patty nuh sell fi dem prices deh anymore...😂😂😂😂 A man working for minimum wage and has to take care of a family and child.... Can barely survive... But i am glad u can save so much my brother because many of us out here having empty bank accounts for years😢
Didn’t need to buy gas that morning but I should have included price. Poor people do benefit from subsidies if their workplace or close to one offers it. Fruits I didn’t buy because someone gave me. I know it’s hard out there for people trust me, but this video was just for entertainment and wasn’t detailed. But I will make more videos to educate people on saving tips and ways to increase income 🙏🏾.
@akeel akeel Not necessarily, it depends. St. thomas grows most of their food. However, prices of chicken there are about the same or $20 per lb less compared to portmore wholesale prices of chicken. I guess the cost of living for stuff like food and rent is cheaper in St. thomas, but stuff like clothes is expensive.
480 fi dat box food which parish you in cause in st. james its a different story in St. james for that size box food its for 900$ to a 1000$ Jamaican dollars
What is your salary versus that $1,310.00? I know you don't get paid in USD but, $1,310.00 JAD is just over $9.00 US. That is barely enough to buy bus/train ticket in the US. The lunch you are having would cost $13.00 - $19.00 USD which is roughly between $1,885.00 and $2,755. 00 Jamaica n dollars. Just offering some perspective here. 😊
No bro a u ave it easy a $550 ja mi pay fi a small food and $300 for a beef patty in spanish town u get a big on fa that price no sah. I respect the work u do thou u guys are taking risk with u life everyday for others hope u're paid good🎉
Nobody selling large food for $480 in ja unu no put 2 and 2 together fi know seh a work him get the lunch? Alot of workplaces do that including National bakery. I think it's cost effective for employees.
I need a day driver when I go next year I’m a stay in Ocho Rios but I want at least one day for a couple hours in Kingston I need a personal driver show me around Kingston
I just checked the exchange in U.S dollars which is 1,310 j.a = $8.56 u.s People in America spend way more than that a day. I spend at least $80 u.s a day sometimes more
I am diabetic and I usually do not eat fast food, but my blood sugar levels were dropping and I had to stop to get something that had the least carbohydrates... I got some wings and it was 10 wings for 14 dollars

Basically its more if you eating subsidize food
480 pon tht lunch? a mobay a 1000 dolla dat.
Work place benefit
Same thing me did ago comment ocho rios that 8 bills
London prices that would be about 1800 dollars that’s around the £9.50 mark 😅
Btw that isn’t a meal I could afford to buy daily.
Wow was just going to comment that!!!
This is work subsidised lunch, them do it at govt work places etc. Even bureau of standards, where I used to work, get a fat lunch for 300 (2005)
if anyone is wondering 1310 jamaican dollars is 8.47 usd
Im moving😂
Thank you!
$8.39 could NOT get you a patty, that delicious meal and transportation in New York.... more like $22.00
$8.37 as of today 😂😂
We not wondering we just not gonna pay him no attention this isn’t math class he should have done the math
Cheese patty now cost 350.
That box lunch cost at least 1000 now.
Was a beef patty made a mistake but the food is $480
It is a staff benefit. My work place, canteen lunch is $500, $600 for the large one.
We all don't benefit from this so please clarify in your videos that you get discount for lunch
I know your just doing this to show ur thing but it can come off as disingenuous. Don't lock off mi light please😅😅😅😅 just constructive criticism 😁
Is work canteen lunch, subsidise, govt job get that benefit. And a chk patty with cheese from sugar and spice is 350, just buy 1 today.
You are the lucky ones. We who left Jamaica to seek a better life overseas missed out on daily enjoying the beautiful of our country. It's a pity such beautiful country is plagued with violence and killings.

Oooh lol I get it now
Food in rural areas are cheaper
I knew a restaurant which sold some of its meals for $200 lunch once. It was part of a bar so maybe that was the reason they could sell at those prices. Then Convid happened and now it $600 or more.
Whe him come from wid e box food price
So it cost you $9 per day. It used to cost me $150 per day in NYC running a construction business
Consider income with expenses.
Here I used to spend $100 dollars just to go to work in NYC. $60 gas $28 tolls $25 parking. And that's just leaving the house. Lunch $20. After work drink and snack $15 total of $150 to leave ve in NYC
That is over $15,000 in Jamaica, add mark up and taxes.
I thought I lived in an expensive state my God that's absurd. I hope you get paid a massive sum of money with that robbery.
@@onioncontrolthat is less than $20 US dollars and I spend more than that each day on transportation only. A
Bestest place on planet EARTH.

You are spending a lot man, but you are going gym so you need the fuel. Maybe you could cook some meals from home.
Nuff respect bro... guidance 🎉

Jamaica box food is 🔥
480 pon box food. And 600 on toll next time your usual route gena.
Is less than in the USA. Toll is $6.00 lunch is $20 to $25.00. Gas is 3:50 per gallon.
It's about $35.00 USA excluding Starbucks.
Lol oh suh of light gone a you we fi cuss 😂🤣😂
Wrong no no 👎🏾
How long ago was this video made caz dat box lunch cheap 😳
Recent this year 😂
Also this is what I spend in day on that day, not what everybody spends.
You didn't take your usual route in the morning.
A large box food 😮 fi 480 were is dat not in ja😂
It exist just have to search
Notice that the coffee free too. Perks of the job. Some companies fo try to treat us good.
Unlimited free coffee where I work. Too bad I don't drink that stuff. Free lunch is the best perk I get
Eating better than anyone working in America can barely afford a hamburger meal.
$30@dumplingShop
