Thanks for the tour looking forward to yard
Nice to see you shopping with the family
Thank you. I learned a lot.
Great video!!!!
Well done 👍, please do my shopping for me 🤓
I couldn't get even half of that in Negril for jmd5000
If I had a small piece of land there is no way that I would be looking to buy vegetables I must plant
Living in America and spending $US makes these prices look exceptional, but when your earning a $JMD salary, you have a different prospective.
yes indeed!!
Same in India.
@@loveanyways +
Right EXACTLY!!🎯💯💯💯👍👍🤔🙄🤦
Yes at 12k a week or less you're not supposed to have 5k to spend, its ruff here and everything went UP
My first time watching . Love it! Three generations spending quality time together. This is such a blessing you have no idea. Really enjoyed🥰
My dear, this video is absolutely professional!! Keep up the good work.
Thank youuuu! Thanks for watching 😁
Indeed true dude
Where are you in Jamaica 🇯🇲 at no time you stated your downtown location???
@@tudysmith2458 where are you from?

Granny Lin is a doll!! 😍
Yes,she is
@@angellafraser638 ⁸⁸
Queeny 😍
She is beautiful to look at.
in india 10 dollers enough for all the items
There is a big difference in price range from December to now , especially with lettuce, sweet pepper and tomato. The price for those items were so high in December.
Because of the crime rate y.all need to help the government and fight against crime nooooooooo one should be paying that amount of money to eat
The rains that we got earlier mash up the local farmers them that's why price did so high.
I’ll no longer go to supermarkets when in Jamaica... Coronation Market here I come 😇✌🏾
DJ Yagga heard about this market but its said that it is dangerous do not see anything going on the press tells lies then in the jamaican newspapers reading it here in Canada
I'll do the same thing!
@@crystalbee9706 God know ... we’ve been wasting money lol 😂

Love it. You are very authentic. I have migrated over 25 years. When I visit JA, I could not believe how people were not buying local and spending what I definitely know they can't afford!!!
I would love tons of that callaloo. Yellow yams here is US$4 per lb. oh gosh look at the cinnamon leaves that I need 😩 everything looked so fresh.
Click the link for part 2 love... enjoy ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
Roch, first of all always happy to see Grannylin, and Mommylin I love those two ladies, so $5000 can go a long way lots of shopping, love the video, big up yourself 👍🌹💕💕
😁😁😁😁 thanks for watching !
Love Grannylin😍
My first time seeing this video. But I truly enjoy every moment of it. U ladies are sweet and have a great personality. Thank u for sharing.
The prices back then I assume where affected by the heavy rains and as the young lady said, much was imported. Other than the yam and lemon don't see no fruit or potato.
BTW, don't buy so much lettuce if you not planning to eating it all within 10 days and things like yam (peel); onion, sweet pepper (wash and cut into large diced pieces), if you not going to eat it all within a week, and can be frozen; garlic can be peeled and stored in glass jar with oil
Since I cook only for me, in the past a lot of things would spoil as i never cooked everyday, along the way I found ways to help preserve some food items
Thanks for the recommendation love . Appreciate it
@@Rochielin Had to find ways to preserve the food that was bought and not used quickly..... believe me, I have had to throw out a lot of fruits, veggies etc .... can't waste that kind of money especially now with the price of everything so high
A would live with you for a month, just to learn and adapt those skills of yours
Fantastic tips thank you 😊 🙏love from a Ghanaian sister
Nothing but memories watching this video. I enjoyed going to Coronation with my mother as a child and eating ripe bananas and oranges while she was shopping. Callaloo man skillful with the "GREENS"!! The carrots look like a pair of gloves!!
Love this empress Toronto nuff love ❤️ I
Happy you enjoyed it. Click the link to watch part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
I love to see the fresh local produce. There's is no way things should be imported to Jamaica, there's sunshine, water and more land than anything. I feel sad, when I was growing up there was no such thing as import. There seems to be a lack of willingness to work. Bwoy mi coulda eat two a di patty deh doe my laawd!!!!!😭😭😭
I always think the market prices are better than supermarket and the produce are much fresher. Memories, when I was a kid I used to go to that market with my mom.🥰
You did very well , you bought a lot with the money and you supported the local farmers and vendors , thus keeping the money in Jamaica . Well done and you keep smiling
Thank youu. Thanks for watching love.. here’s the link to part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
I'm so proud to see you highlighting life in Jamaica from an honest and uncut point of view. Its videos like these that have me mentally packing my suitcase and waiting for the chance to come home. It may be tough in JA but there's no place like it. Big Up!
Real talk am just waiting too
$35 US dollars can’t get u so much food stuff from the store up here in the United States.
So true or the grocery store in jamaica alone
Bless and them think things are cheap in the United States.
Bless and keep up the good work.
Depends on where in the USA u live remember there's 53 states
Depends on what
I’m watching from Bridgeport Connecticut and I appreciate your information about shopping in Jamaica some items are comparable with us some are better and some are more expensive 🙏 over all your Video along with your personality is great. Thanks beautiful lady for the information 👍🏾
Thanks for watching love . Happy you enjoyed it . Click this link to watch part 2.ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
Granny Lin is so cute😍. Love her smile
I stay in JA a couple months throughout the year. I just returned from a three month stay. Prices in December was so crazy. As Americans we are like wow $5000JMD/$35USD gets you all of that. We must understand that there are a lot of people who are still not working due to Covid. I personally know people who received only $4000 for the entire month since the start of this pandemic.
With that said, realistically veg(seasonings) tend to be cheap in JA especially if you are buying directly from the farmer. However, when it comes to purchasing things like cooking oil the prices are ridiculous. Household items tend to be super high as well because they are mostly imported.
Great job Rochielin! I love going to the market in Falmouth and just stopping at various farms in top Trelawney. There is also a lady who sells veg in the parking lot of L&M meats in Salem along the main road just outside Royal Decameron who has really great prices.
Beautifully presented, beautiful family, beautiful scenery! And your voice is sweet and nice. Beautiful young empress 👑well done!! Nanny lin ❤️
Thanks for the heads up because I'm planning on moving to jamaica
I enjoyed this market vlog. My favourite place to get my fresh produce when I am in Jamaica. I would take some of those fresh okra right now lol.
Happy you did love. Thanks for watching. Here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
In New York, $35 could barely get me half of what you got. Prices are ridiculous up here
Check Asian markets and Indian markets as well as farmers markets in your area. Best prices there not big box stores.
That's a fact@DM. As for the person who reply, that's a big fat lie. I run restaurant and nothing is that cheap. Only chicken cheap here!
A dollar is a dollar where you live
ruclips.net/video/-dJ922_Tw0k/видео.html
You can't get half of that here in USA for $35 not matter whay staye or where you live, point blank and period. People who live here think everything is soo cheap here, not true.
Thank you for sharing how much we can expect to get in the market for $5000 in your currency. I visited Jamaica in 2018 and the tour guide took us to a market but she knew we were not experienced enough as Americans, so she took orders and bought us a few things. Thanks to you the next time I visit, I can shop myself.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged for the Lord your. God will be with you wherever you go 🙏 JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE ETERNAL 🙏................

That’s amazingggg.. I would love a back yard farm
@@Rochielin it’s addictive trust me 👍🏾
Great! My New Year resolution is to start a pot vegetable garden, fingers crossed! :)
These ladies put a smile on my face first thing in the morning. 🙂
Wouldn't get all that for USD35 at my green market in Brooklyn! All that fresh produce makes me want to come home. And please buy local!
I'm from New York but one day I plan to live in Jamaica for an extended period of time....This was great information...So happy for this video......Now I'd like to see what you make with the veggies...
This looks like Nigerian Market. Heyyyyy Grandma & Mommy!
First time here. Am loving the vibe of your channel - Subbed & turned on my bell! Excited for more videos from you.
Awww thanks love. Really appreciate it. Welcome to the Famielin!!!!
Here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
Goes to show our connection with the motherland my dear.
I'm surprised, I would have thought produce prices would be a bit lower there than they are! I wish we had similar markets, but our weather is much colder most of the year. Great video, well put together. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching 😁 ... here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
Lovely informative video, so lovely to see the real Jamaica too!!
I always wanted to see the markets in JAMAICA so thanks for sharing doll....💕🏆
Rochielin thanks for this video, And those are not so expensive like it here in Trinidad 🇹🇹🇹🇹 Thats $232.09 TTD =TO $5000 JMD Jamaica way cheaper 😯than the market here $5000 JMD = to $232.09 can't buy so much food here in our market.
If I lived in Kingston, I'd make the time to go to Coronation market because the supermarkets are super expensive when it comes to selling these items. When I lived in kgn that's exactly what I used to do even when my friends and colleagues frowned at the practice.
Fruits and vegetables seem pretty cheap in Kingston compare to the country. Must grace Coronation market with my presence one of these days.
Me too,I was born in Kingston and don't know kingston,all I know in Kingston is the Pegasus hotel and Rosemary lane and thats it,when I had to go to immigration a few times,the lines were so long,I couldn't do the lines,so I gave the security guard on thousand Jamaican to help me and my paper work and he took me right to the immigration officer
At the time I didn't realize I was briding a government official so please don't do what I did
I can look at someone and tell they are struggling really bad and it compels me to help them and I saw that on the security guard that he was struggling and if I help him he would help me and I gave him more each time I came back
But years later I realize I had done something illegal
I just came across your channel and I enjoyed your shopping experience a great deal. I do not live in Jamaica, but I was shocked how you stretched $5000. Thank you for such a great experience. I love it!!
"Dem ya good but how dem have so much hand!" 😂😂😂 that made me subscribe instantly...too funny
Haha happy you liked it .click the link to watch part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
Yup hubby takes me downtown for everything when I'm shopping to come back home. Deals upon deals 😊
Niiiiceee
@@Rochielin what u use too edit is it free
This is just like a market in Nigeria. Wake me up here and I won't miss a beat.
I love my people. I appreciate how seamlessly she intermingled with everyone. #Blessed #ourpeople
That should be one of the easiest things to do, mingle & socialize w/o feeling superior & looking at people as if they are subservient & don't deserve love, kindness & respect. Its so much easier to lay a hand on someone with a gentle touch & a kind spoken word than to punch a person in the face or cursing & swearing at them. Too much energy is expended with negative energy/actions I personally try to avoid confrontations.✌🏾♥️🙏🏾 fam...
Love corry. If I could lift up downtown and bring it to England I would. One of my favourite places. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables
The heavy rains during the October onwards gave many farms a hit. Tomatoes were scarse because it seemed that got a hit. It was scarce and selling at a high price from October.
Me stop cooking with tomatoes
Honestly I Jamaica looks like Ghana. The people and the culture similarity ❤🔥
Because they are one in the same
Me I am born in Accra we really look alike Jamaicans
Yes it does!
Thats where Jamaicans came from
@@goldbarsuperiahspotlight7065 I just received my 23andMe results and was surprised to discover that the Ghana area accounted for 26 percent of my DNA vs. 51 percent from Nigeria. I had felt sure that Ghana would be my main contributor.
the fact say you take out that camera Downton I give you max rating mama.
Yes i agree, i find it difficult to take vid clips downtown kingston, i am not afraid of the robbers (i'm a streetwise london/jamaican dude) its more to do with the attitude of the people, quite frankly they dont like been filmed by people they dont know, and some are not afraid to tell yu
Big up Mama , mummy, Roch Roch , thanks for this video , not seen there for many many yrs 🥰🙏🏾
You’re welcome love!! Big up
My Darling, this was absolutely remarkable. The food is fresh, the people are fresh, what a beautiful country and ppl. The prices are great! Thank you for your good coverage of that famous market place. Very good Roc...1❤️young sis!
You were actual in the market the entire time
😊😊
The **covered section** is referred to as the 'market house'
I missed your videos, I've been to carnation market a few times while in Jamaica its truely an experience but I think you get better & fresher everything downtown and you can bargain, you got a lot for $5000/$35 usd. Keep up the good work.
"It can go any side. Jamaica we deh!" Don't ramp with mum 😂😂
LOL
Why in no no wear de mask all de time! In I keep taking it off!
Thanks Rochilin, hope I spell it right.
I'm living in Canada but it's always good to know what's going on back home.
The prices are reasonable when you compare with here. But the quality is questionable.
Keep the thing going mi sista and bless up yourself.
do a monthly budget for cost of living in jamaica house bills etc
So much good memory growing up in jamaica ... Thank you luv
Only down town get you soo much things. Lol your money would a vanish in hilo
😂😂😂😂
They have a Hilo in Negril,spend 1000 usa in grocery 22 years ago,it last one month,wouldnt try that now
@@angellafraser638 There’s a Hilo in Jamaica! I live in Hawaii on da Big Island. The main city is Hilo.
Your Also at risk to have all that money vanished and you leave Empty hands 🤣
@@jahmallajaima I think they're referring to Hi-Lo the supermarket chain
First time watching your channel and I already love Granny Lin🥰, I love, love, love when I see the older and young gen hanging our together (well I know your going food shopping but still, I love it)😇😀
The Rasta man just a block the video wid him belly, mommy says Rasta man move u belly 😁😁.
🌺🌺🌺 thanks so much for sharing 😊🌺🌺🌺 my husband works at the market and he has the best prices and fresh produce. I would love if we had these more of these in America.
This look like Guyana market the same setting
Every time I vacation in JA ,the market is a must go event,love the hustle and bustle♥️
I know 'Princess' and that section of the market quite well.
Niiiceee
Beautiful smile... Haven't been back yaaad far too long. This video just made me remember my Nani. One Love from your new Jahmerican subscriber over here in Atlanta. One Love
Laaaaw mi laugh till mi weak when mi hear mammy tell Di Rasta move yuh belly woooooie mi weak
😂😂😂😂
I almost woke my family up lol..🤣🤣
Rochielin, really, really enjoyed watching your video at the Coronation market. I was surprised how much stuff you bought for JMD$5,000 and most of which was organic grown in Jamaica. Love your Granny Lin.. keep up the good work and I will keep watching.. One Love.
When I come to jamaica definitely has to shop at coronation market,and make a big pot of red peas soup,its gonna be so awesome
Definitely!
@@Rochielin thank you (Desting the whale Nemo 🐋)
My sentiments exactly
I've been craving callaloo since I visited Jamaica in Dec '19. I CAN NOT WAIT TO COME BACK!!!!
Hi granilin hi rochilin great video
Hiiiiii.. thank youuuu!!!
@@Rochielin your welcome
Wow! You did an amazing feasibility study. Cost a living is very high globally. But $ 35 in America can only buy 6 oranges,
6 lemon
4 tomatoes
1 cabbage 🥬
I think Jamaican should go back to do farming it’s a very productive, & fertile earth. I planned to go back home. & I definitely going plant most of my food. We have so much opportunity and we’re lucky to have a land of blessings. So let’s take advantage of it. God bless our land.
LOve the video." Rasta move yuh belly" Thanks
🎯
Thanks for taking us along ✨✨so interesting to see what $5000 Jamaican Dollars will buy compare to Canadian dollars 💸👌🏽
Love this!! I really like shopping this way when I vacation in Jamaica 💕
Good information 😬. When we move to the USA we plan on visiting Jamaica regualrly. The prices are fairly reasonable and similar to us in the UK.
Everything is expencive from market to meat shop to supermarket especiall in st james
I'm subscribing to support you darling love how you include Grannylin mi luv it continue darlin God go wid unno!! 💖
Thanks love I really appreciate it. Here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
@12:23... 😂😂😂... when @Rochielin said how the carrots have suh much hand, and foot... 😂😂😂... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲
Happy new year Rocha❤❤actually you purchased ALOT with $35USD I could neva got soo much stuff here for that!
Thanks for sharing this very important information.
1 lemon 85 cent and 1 lime 45 cent in Wal-Mart.
@@shoshannanina5359 yep
5000 does not do it for me at our market in Falmouth. $700 per lb for everything here.
It seems like prices in the country is much higher than town.
If that true you can make the drive to Kingston for your shopping
Yes it depends on the parish then tge prices will be cheaper or expensive.
The*
@@Mark-if1yu Falmouth is too far from kingston lol
I am American😊 I love all things Jamaican🥰 please do more of these videos 👑!! New subbie too😘
Roch: Dem good? But ow dem av summuch hand
😂😂😂😂😂Why yo offend di carrot dem Roch? 😂😂😂
Dem ugly badddd!!!!
Is the best kind,organic 😂😂
Interesting, I have been away from Jamaica now for 45years. I would feel so lost in that market now. Love the organic food though. All that food you bought can be grown in people's backyard these days though. This is one of the main reasons I love the country areas. However can't tek the Badminded people. The mind set is so negative. However I do pray people will come to their senses wake up and take control of their own Spirituality. Good thing your doing baby, keep up the good work. Good idea to show some land in country areas not far from the town Mobay, Ocho Rios, Kingston, Westmoreland near Negril.
Thank youuu. Here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
wow...I enjoyed this so much....you are a people person....nice

No meat, no flour, no eggs, no rice, no bread... how long will those veggies last in ur home?
These items are for everyday cooking purposes they won't spoil
Thanks for sharing this excellent information. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
Is that enough food for the both of you for at least one week. I'm thinking not. If it' s organic wow. Still a bargain. I think so anyway. Granny is precious. Janice
Ahhhh man, I love Jamaica...thanks for this video!!
I love how much grannyyy is loving the camer lol nice!
To everyone who is thinking of starting their own business, believe in yourself and never give up.Your future self will be thankful
Money left in savings always end up used with returns.
You do not really need someone to tell you how to invest your coins, you can make research on your own and trade with expert to guild you through .
In few years time a lot of people will regret why they miss this great opportunity of earning.
People are scared of investing because they are scared of been scammed of their hard earn money
I don’t know who needs to hear this you’ve got to stop saving money invest some part of it if you really want financial freedom.
That's not a 'crocus bag'
'Crocus Bag' is the **brown cloth bag** that scratches
**That's referred to as a 'market bag' made from the 100 pound rice or sugar bags
I love going to market, seeing the fresh fruits and vegetables excites me! Especially if you go a early Saturday morning then come back and put on the pot ah soup using all those fresh ingredients. Wah nice so!
I learned alot today, didn't know we so much importing at all...sad but survival it is.
Here’s part 2 ruclips.net/video/LV2ZUujKSnQ/видео.html
i must admit , going to the market is an extreme sport that requires alot of shop around but i enjoy doing it because i am supporting the local farmers and sellers
I enjoyed this video. Where i live that $5000 would be about $100 and trust me, i wouldnt get half of that
😢😢😢😢 me too
I love markets. I really enjoyed this video. 📹 Thank you!
Love your grandma.... I'd have bought more stuff but to each his own. However I liked the video
Yess Granny-Lin and Mommy-Lin! Love the video, love love love the energy!
This was very informative. I need to stop buying in supermarkets all the time and go to town more regularly.
Trust me, Latocha, buying produce at 'Curry' is a guarantee that you are getting fresh stuff at low prices. Buying the same produce in a supermarket is a guarantee that they may have been sitting on the shelves for days and the price is high. I would NEVER be seen buying farm produce in a supermarket, the market IS the place to be. Furthermore, it's always refreshing to interact with the farmers and vendors there. You learn a lot from them.
