Cost of living is high wherever you live. It's not just in the Caribbean Islands. It's even worst since covid and it will not get any better. The Caribbean islands do themselves a disservice by importing all that highly processed and chemical laden food from the US and pray a high price for it. We have enough islands that have beautiful soil that are available to produce organic food, but do we want it no, we are so hell bent on being like the US. Marcus Garvey had it right, but we ignore it and now the later generation are paying the price for those that choose to ignore him. I went shopping the other day and picked up a couple of things the bill was close to US$100 and that most salad, milk, vegetables, cottage cheese, fruits etc. We don't eat meat or chicken, so that's one thing we don't have to worry about. I cook everything from scratch and hardly eat out, even though I can afford it, right now I need to save what I have for a rainy day because it looks like covid will not be leaving us any time soon. I make my own green seasonings, bake my own cake etc - that way I can control the amount of sugar. We are in for a rough ride - I can still see us living like this next year if things don't change - and from the look of things nothing will change
Shirmel Duggins, I totally agreed with you. When are we going to get it. We might be free physical, but we are still slaves mentally. Why is the Caribbean island depending so much of their food supply to be imported from the US. I understand we need trade, but my God your food source. What if this COVID situation continue and the food source is cut off. People of the Caribbean need to wake up. I am with you, I hardly eat outside my home.
Cost of living in the Caribbean is so high. I am from Grenada but also lived in Barbados and Jamaica. Jamaica was most reasonable to live, the conversion definitely helped.
Prices like these make me grateful where I live. In the US, even though things riding it’s bot higher than living on an island. More power to Caribbean people and people around the world.
BIM needs to stop all that importing and folks need to go back to raising foods...packages are getting smaller in US and prices increased...we are in for a long ride....learn to not buy as much and eat farm raised foods
Amen to that - I do all the time because really saves you a lot of money. It takes time, but once it done, you are set. I sometimes make 4 bottles at a time
Food in barbados is about 4 times the price of food in uk, 3 parsnips are $13. In uk at Christmas a whole bag from tesco at 19 pence which is 50 cents.
Miss Barjan, I ask you and your husband some months ago for some info in finding a cheap air bnb in Barbados but you did not help I am not looking for no other type of help from you. I just needed some vital info so I can have a smooth transition, moving to Barbados, I am not looking to find you or know where you live, motherless I will still relocate with or without your help. God bless you and your family.
Your comment sort of rude but anyhow I was off RUclips for a while I don’t get to read every comment I have been busy . I am not sure about air Bnd I would have to look it up but I know about hotels
May I ask what supermarket is this? im coming in a couple months and already know what im packing coz it hurts me to spend so much of my money on food, however if it helps I live in London and rent here is your whole pay check but food is cheap, so you cant win!
I have seen vlogs on barbedos so I thot I have to see how expensive it is look to me not cheap country at all. Some prices are cheaper then UK some are more expensive.

Hello
Am a new subscriber frm 🇯🇲 jamaica
welocme to the famly love!
Shan you should try and make your own seasoning. Just blend up scallion, onions thyme, peppers, marjoram, celery etc. Keep it in the fridge.
Amen to that - I do all the time because really saves you a lot of money.
It takes time, but once it done, you are set. I sometimes make 4 bottles at a time
By the time you buy all the ingredients it works out the same or more than ready made. A celery in barbados is about $8
Hello how are you doing today
Shan, the salt fish is reasonable. It cost a lot more in the US.
oh wow ...... I thinks its more reasonable here than Jamaica too
Salted fish is very expensive in NY.
Hello how are you doing

Y’all don’t get food stamps? I feel every president in these countries should provide assistance for food especially for women with children
