I lived in Grenville back in the '70s...it remains the most idyllic time of my life. We had a little bookstore and many, many Grenadian friends and a Grenadian Grandmother. The town you walked through looked very much like it did back in the '70s. I fell in love with Grenada and long to return for a visit. Prices much much higher now, of course. We would buy a huge bunch of green bananas for $.50 BWI, hang them from the tree in our yard and pick as they ripened. Saw the bottles of cashew nuts...raw I presume...sold then in catsup bottles for $.75/bottle. Loved...LOVED the goat cheese made on the island. YUM! Got introduced to Cidra (British) which was Hard apple cider... OH MY! Finally found a hard cider here in America that is close to Cidra but not quite... Everyone was so kind, friendly....I must get back for a visit! I really must! Homesick now for Grenada! Ate in a little restaurant every day 1/2 a block from our store... homemade rotis ($0.50)...or curry season hamburger ($0.25)...homemade ice cream of whatever fruit they had on hand...my fav was peanut flavored ice cream ($0.12). Those were the days, my friend, I thought they would never end. I envy you!
This is so good! Seeing the fresh fruit and vegetables knowing they're organic, made me totally home sick! Was hoping to see some sugar apples! Great video! Thank you for showing the work taking place at the market! Wonderful!
Twice i have been to Grenada, Stayed at Mount Pleasant Carriacou with my late friend's probably 20 years ago now. I would love to return one day. I have some very happy memories of a stunning place and lovely people. I try to forget that evening i had downing Jack Iron though ;-)
Thanks Kriss for taking us along on your grocery shopping trip… fruit seemed expensive- $5 for only a wedge of watermelon… etc… oh! Well!! But it all looked so tasty…
Can't wait to visit the land of my father's birth! Since he came to Trinidad at age 4 he has never been back so I want to see what he missed out on. Thanks for the tour.
Such a nice treat to find your channel and this video tonight. We came to Grenada in February 2020. It was our first trip to the island and then, on our return home of course there was the covid lock down. So we look back at those lovely days in Grenada with such longing for happier, more peaceful times. I enjoyed walking to the market for fresh fruits and veges each morning and being out early to see all of the different birds. We met some of the friendliest people in the world and the beautiful flowers and beaches. You have such a lovely place to live. I hope these are healthier times for the island and maybe soon we can return.
Hi, glad this vlog broght back such lovely memories for you. I believe, from 4 April, all restrictions will be dropped so hopefully you will be able to enjoy the island as you once did. 😊
@@krissmgvlogs you're doing a great job as a RUclipsr though, so keep up the good work. Well, the countries of interest are closed for us at the moment😂
Hi good sister iev just found your channel very nice love the old green bridge etc keep it up and thank you for taking the time to do this 🇲🇦☪️🇬🇩🤝💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was interesting! The selection of bananas of all kinds is quite something i'm not used to locally, and all the tropical fruits were quite a sight. Also the sauce you got reminded me why Grenada is called also Spice Isle 🔥
Thanks for featuring your life in Grenada. I kept wondering the whole time, how and where did you store the fish after you bought it? It's a troubling question. Lol. What a lovely diet and at great prices. Healthy eating.
I enjoyed your vlog and followed the sauce lady. Thanks for all the effort you went through just make this vlog for us! Especially walking under the rain part.🙏😊❤️
New subscriber here I love your vloggs omg the fruits and vegetables look so good and so much vendors, love to see that proud Grenadian 🇬🇩 here living in Toronto, that's the kind of vlogg i like watching not those that do only negative vloggs looking for views and likes. Keep them coming.
The produce over there is very similar to what you will find in a Jamaican market. By the way, what you call lemon over there we call lime here. Our lemons are bigger actually. Ha! ha!
Try the water lemons next time. One of the rare fruits on the island. My grandfather used to bring them home from the land. Haven't had one in over 30 years. Were those starch mangoes? Delicious!! U should try those too. I remember walking on that bridge going to Queens Park. Y not grow tomatoes in your backyard?
Sorry my last message was one sec too early I have certainly liked and subscribed Great job Not easy to walk so much and carry everything in your hands God bless you
i love's grenada love your video beautiful by the market side fresh fruits and the fish 🐟 is looking fresh and nice ina curry and patatoes and you are beautiful too am relly from guyana living in texas usa i also have a daughter in grenada she marry to a grenadian man 2 kid's coming soon and visit .
I had to use Google translate. You say you're from Colombia, Santa Marta. Your great-grandfather was born in Grenada and arrived in Colombia in 1911. Fascinating. Thanks for watching!
@@krissmgvlogs Yes, it was. But he was surnamed Olivere. When he arrived at foreigners they changed the letter e for the letter o, and in the end he was left as OLIVERO. But we really should be OLIVERE. I would like to know if that surname is common on the Island of Granada. Thank you for answering me.
Market has been there since around May 2020. It was to help with social distancing and the market square where the once were is currently being renovated. I imagine they will eventually go back to the market square because foot traffic isn't as dense.
First time seeing your video and enjoyed it. Please provide some information on how to get the mask. Name of seller or location where she can be found. TY
I just discovered your information which l love. Nevertheless I already know most of what you stated 're slavery. Thank you for sharing and alerting those who already know and is adding more. I have a friend named Lydia who worked at Camden council as a nursery officer. I lost you her and would've to reconnect with her. I don't know if you so so get people back together. I would be so happy to find. I think the surname is McEwan. I now live in another Caribbean island. Thanks
Which part of the world are you? If you are in a major city like New York or London, Caribbean stores there may sell it. As for knowing anyone who is delivering abroad, I don't know. I will ask around though.
I Loved this vlog. I would have definitely gotten some Catfish, potatoes, bottles of hot sauce, cashews & plantains. I can't wait to go to an Island where I can say Good Morning and people will answer Me back. Over here in the U.S., in many cities, if you say good morning to someone you don't know, often times you will get a very mean face in return. Times have changed.
Masks are no longer required in Grenada so I'm not sure if she's making them anymore. Either way you can buy masks in town. Enjoy your stay in Grenada 😊
Let’s see how well I could recognise accents. I find you have got a born English accent if you don’t mind me saying so am I correct ? I don’t subscribe often but I will do I love your content ❤️
Grenada is not cheap so it depends on the size of you social security! Also, the healthcare is not the best. I suggest visiting for a few months at a time to get a feel of the island that way you can meet and talk to other expats too!

The plantains and all the other fruits and veggies looks amazing.

Thanks Kriss for taking us along on your grocery shopping trip… fruit seemed expensive- $5 for only a wedge of watermelon… etc…
oh! Well!! But it all looked so tasty…
I've paid more for less. Plus farmers have been struggling so I'm happy to support.
@@krissmgvlogs good point!!! Support the growers… definitely!!!🙏🙏
Great to see such a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in a Caribbean Market. Thanks for sharing. Viewing from Montserrat, West Indies.
Thanks for watching! There are even more fruits and veg than the ones shown 😀
We do appreciate you taking us along with you blessed Sister. Enjoy a safe and peaceful day.

Grenada is beautiful. One of my favorite islands. Maybe one day, i can visit.

Thanks for this

When the shuttle comes, it picks whoever is first and go 😂😂😂 that must be so different for you, Kris
Would have been if I had found the shuttle 😀

where is this place in grenada send me some information please
In the carpark of the Kirani James Athletic Stadium. Saturday and Sunday mornings although you can find some vendors through throughout the week.
