This is such a great info! I love cheap buys and I always make sure to spend less and find cheaper options. This is such a great help! So awesome of you guys 👏
Hi Kade, so glad to hear that you found the video useful! Going cheap and shopping for food groceries makes a big difference when long term travelling.
I never knew that Costa Rica was more expensive. Thanks for showing where you shop and the prices. Because when we travel we do stay at place for a while and we do shop for food as we don’t eat all out every day. Good video!
I was there the week after you posted this! Such a lovely town and I checked out most of these stores. Best deal I ran across was in San Jose, a guy on the street downtown selling avocados 8/ $1.
8 avocados for a dollar, what a bargain! We found a guy on the street in San Jose too and managed to get 4lb (2kg) of Rambutans for 1000 colones (around $1.50). La Fortuna was so charming, wasn't it! Arenal Volcano makes such a stunning backdrop too.
Figured out why I didn't get a notification or see your video come up, looks like I accidentally hit the subscribe again on the last video I watched!! oops!! Glad you guys kept in touch, probably wouldn't have noticed for a bit!! lol Love your video! I wish I had it before going, we didn't hit the other store at all and I didn't know about the discounts with your passport... could have saved some money since we mostly shopped at Mega Super!!
🤣🤣 We still can't get over the fact that we were both in La Fortuna at the same time! We could have told you in person! Oh well, I'm sure our paths will cross again soon!
Absolutely wonderful video! Thank you for the tour! Thank you for the opportunity to accompany you on this beautiful shopping tour in La Fortuna, Costa Rica! Such a beautiful experience! Have a wonderful day! Cordial greetings!👍&FV
Hi BLT!, yes indeed, Costa Rica can be more expensive than other central American countries but as always, ask locals and for sure the open air markets give you a better price. Safe travels mis amigos!! 👍✈
@@gaillesarge9779 Jay visited a farmer's market on a Saturday in La Fortuna. It is near the Super Rosvil. In San Jose the farmers markets are on every weekend, usually Saturdays and rotating at different venues. We'll be doing another video about them next month.
.hello i am vietnamese. i want to get to know you hope not to give up, i watched your video, i found it very interesting very useful, thanks for sharing
Wow! I couldn’t get over how inexpensive the meats, pasta and veggies were! We love farmers markets too! The USA is experiencing very high inflation, especially on food. A NY strip steak (good quality) is between $15-$22 a pound! Great video so happy you were aloud to film inside the stores! Very helpful tips! ~Cara 😊
We are quickly realising in hindsight how inexpensive the food was compared to the US! We are certainly feeling that right now! Are the farmers markets in the US cheaper than supermarkets? They typically aren't in Australia, they tend to be at a premium. Partly because the food is generally more organic.
Hi Caroline and Amir, thanks for watching! Yes we plan to be in Turkey around March/April next year! Where Whereabouts are you both in Turkey? We are also tentatively planning to visit Iran, would be great to pick Amir's brains on travelling there,
@@BucketListTravellers that’s awesome!! We’re in Istanbul … happy to show y’all around here if you make it to istanbul… and yes, Amir would be glad to give tips on where to travel in Iran. He’s been everywhere there! 😅
Hi There e p, we are a bit hazy on this but feel like you can only use colones. That said, you will find that most places accept cards. When you do use card, just choose to pay in the local currency rather than use the option to convert to US dollars as the rates won't be as favourable as what your bank will be able to do. We can say that tour operators and a lot of hotels will accept US dollars.

Thanks! Good to know that we travel in a similar way. It is hard to sustain long term travel (and waistlines!) by eating out all the time.
Glad that you guys are having a good time.
It's hard not to have a good time in Costa Rica! Thanks for watching Michael!
So much variety of things to choose from
Yes, you have a great selection of foods and more here in Costa Rica. There is a great variety of tropical fruits and many veges too!
I am glad you showed the shop next to the park. That place had great fruit and veg at great prices.
Hey Steven, so glad to hear that you agree with us! They were really friendly too, so we highly recommend shopping for fruit and veges there.
Thanks for showing us Costa Roca! 💖
Our pleasure! We'll get into to more of the nature side of things next month, so much awesome stuff to share!
You are just amazing dear.
Beautiful pearl in the world.🤩😂
What a great video, stay happy forever....👍❤🧡💯
Awww, thank you for your kind words🤗🤗🤗. Thanks for watching!😃😃
Muy cierto Costa rica es muy caro todo ...
¡Sí! Aunque nos alegramos de que finalmente hubiéramos encontrado los mercados de agricultores más baratos. Haremos un video sobre eso también.
Very informative thank you 😊
Glad you found it informative, thanks for watching Fin & Meg!

Thanks for saying so and watching Cory!😄😄
I'm going to CR tomorrow! This was very cool to see the prices of goods in La Fortuna and give us an idea of what to expect.
Awesome! Where are you planning to visit?
Nice video friend

Thank you for your glowing review! La Fortuna is such a pretty town and we thought it helpful to share where to go for food.
Always great to see other people obsessed with grocery stores so Kattie doesn't feel so alone 🤣🤣🤣 Great one guys!
🤣🤣🤣 You are not alone Kattie! 🙌🙌 Knowing where to go for cheap groceries can make a big difference when you are long term travelling.

Great advice Henry. Yes we worked that out by the time we got to San Jose!
@@BucketListTravellers The farmer's market is on the weekend?

Beautiful Costa Rica, thanks for the tour.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
At 11:20, "Uchuva" fruit grows in European countries too !
Very interesting to know! We had never come across this fruit before Costa Rica.
You two are so lovely together! This was a gorgeous peek into Costa Rica ❤️
Thank you Bri, so kind of you to say! Thanks for watching!🙏🙏
@@BucketListTravellers you’re so welcome! 🤗
Liked and subd

@@caromir3277 Awesome! We'll definitely be in Istanbul if we visit Turkey. We'll get in contact once we've made some concrete plans. 😀
@@BucketListTravellers that sounds great!!! Will stay tuned …
In Costa Rica we don't use prego (us brand) , we use naturas sauce, better and cheaper.
Also un the central valley we have walmart and Automercado
Thanks for the info again rodvarmo! Yes, we visited a Walmart in San Jose and it was massive!
Muchas gracias por la información, saludos, me encanta, 😘😘👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
¡Gracias por ver Maria!😀😀
I just realized that all the Palis look the same, no matter in which country you are, hahaha.
So true! It was comforting for us, we knew exactly where to shop! Still the cheapest supermarket in Costa Rica!
👍🏼💯💯🤝🤝🥰
🙏🙏🙏😁😁
Can you pay in US$ in supermarkets? Thank you
Hi There e p, we are a bit hazy on this but feel like you can only use colones. That said, you will find that most places accept cards.
