I am from Mobay sis try and plant a vegetable garden in your backyard if you live in your private home if you live in apartment that option might not work however since you drive we all know someone in the country side of Jamaica take a day trip and get food from the local farmers there that definitely will lower your food bill. One love sis 🇯🇲.
I love these videos! Showing the cost of living, how long it takes at the tax office, running errands and doing everyday things...my guilty pleasure is watching these 😁 Honestly...groceries are the same in the U.S. Some things might higher and some lower. It's ridiculous 🙄
Watching these videos are also my guilty pleasure! While the cost of groceries may relatively be the same price (sometimes more in JA0 I think Jamaicans feel the pinch a lot more. Their minimum wage for a 40 hr work week is about $85 USD. There are also a lot more social services in place in the US (food stamps, cash assistance, etc) to help offset the costs for poor people.
@@jamericangrl816Yes...definitely agree. Was just talking about it this weekend. Very well aware that the population's wages are not parallel to the U.S.
@jamericangrl816 I have been saying this. In 2024 and I hear some saying even going to market expensive. Over $9 US for a lb of sweet peppers, similar for tomatoes. In sean goes to $2
Kay I am new to your channel. I love the fact that you take the time to put the conversation and cost of food in Jamaica. with that said Kayy can you consider supporting your local people. go to the market and buy the local produce. the cost of food in Jamaica is ridiculous.
That's a lot of money for that small amount of stuff her in the uk you can get a big trolley of food in them discount supermarket for £100 stuff in Jamaica are very expensive i find that out when i was there in 2021 i couldn't believe it .that's the reason i try my best to send a change to my families out there each month to help them because it's really hard out there
Yes, things are more expensive here. Alot of ppl dont realise it thinking that things are cheaper becuz JA is a 3rd world country but not the case. Thanks for watching!
God bless you for not abandoning your family like so many diasporans have, you understand the reality of struggling Jamaicans, must of them think Jamaicans always looking for a hand out, they have forgotten where they come from.
I farm some items but still it's very costly compared to not in JM. It's 3 times for most stuff, even if local. And market isn't as cheap only some stuff.
Thanks for the video, very informative. The beauty about Jamaica is you can live off local produce which is healthier and actually cheaper.. import will also be more expensive. I live in Canada and we are stuck with the high cost grocery store. When I return to Jamaica, my plan is to limit the package imported food options.. it's so expensive..
Things expensive everywhere, i went overseas and after having a shopping cart not even full only to start self checking and see that i was way over US 300 and i idnt get everything that i needed. Walmart nuh cheap again like one time
Thanks so much uch for that information 😊I love the supermarket shopping with the us and Jamaican $ exchange, very informative. Can you post more videos of prices to eat out at McDonald’s, burger king or just toll on The road.✌🏼
Sad! I know exactly what you mean because the amount of groceries I get for this total is waaay less than what I used to take home for the same price! 🥲
Welcome back. trust me, girl, it's all over. I'm in Canada and $100 just for just basic needs. Basically, if meat is involved, it's only for two days. Clearly cost when not on sale can cost from. $5 to 10.
Great video, thanks for sharing …… Since the pandemic grocery prices are similar here in the US, ridiculously high. I shop for a family of 5 & I spend at least $500 a week.😩😫
People that live in parts of Jamaica cannot afford groceries period when I was there was hardly anyone in the supermarket shopping this was back in 2017 I went there to by grapes I love grapes I tell you it caught me some money.
cost of livin has risen everywhere so jamaica is no exception in this. food , rent, mortgage, bills. yuh just got to budget and cut back, buy bulk if you can store items. market is good for fresh items. keep it going girl. you are on the right track. bless up.
Hi Kayy, great content. Thank you! Explain the water refill for me, please? Is it purified, or alkaline? What is the purpose of the water fill station?
Yes like that lizards 🦎 spray the last time i was in Jamaica 2021 staying in portmore pines them lizards keep coming in the house i was terrified because am i really cannot stand no insects at all i always buy insects spray overhere in the uk
Ablot of what she took up is seriously not healthy, but she is pretty young now so she is not feeling the effect of those poor choices yet on her body, i pray she will wake up before its too late.
Adulting is overrated 🤣 Sending love to all of us out there doing it! 💜 ~kayy
What
That's montego bay
I don’t go to the supermarket anymore. I just stand outside and gather sunlight to make food… #photosynthesis
💀💀 sounds much cheaper to me
😅

Wow that's amazing
I can understand the price because it's costly to ship those items worldwide.

£200 pounds don't get u much groceries in the UK anymore. Sometimes I try to buy supermarket brands. But some of them have gotten a bit pricey too
Sad! I know exactly what you mean because the amount of groceries I get for this total is waaay less than what I used to take home for the same price! 🥲
Could you please post the cost of each individual item on the screen BIG so that the viewers can see it?
Thanks.
Taking every item from the back of the shelf 😂😂.

Welcome back. trust me, girl, it's all over. I'm in Canada and $100 just for just basic needs. Basically, if meat is involved, it's only for two days. Clearly cost when not on sale can cost from. $5 to 10.

I go to the whole sale or PriceSmart when I'm in Ja and the market for fresh fruits and veg.
Yeah better prices too! I try to get my fresh fruits and veg from the market whenever I can but these days I mostly get everything in one place.
Glad you’re back, again, anyway, nice vlog, love to see more of the day to day life.
