  • Ecuador has some of the world's best markets, and I'm putting them to the test. I bought 10 items in the market, and the same 10 items in the grocery store. I'm breaking down the costs to find out if it really is cheaper to shop in an Ecuadorian market. How much can you save? What are the quality of the items? What are the advantages and disadvantages to the grocery store and the market? It's the Great Ecuadorian Market/Grocery Store Showdown!

    I lived in Ecuador for 14 years (I was born there), 4 years ago I moved to the US. The cheapest stores are: Tía and Akí. Supermaxi is a little bit more expensive.

      Santa Maria too. The Tia doesn't have enough selection. It's fine for certain items and for a quick shop. Aki is pretty good, especially if you plan your shopping around their sale days.

    This is a great video. Very informative & useful. Good job. Thanks. Looks like the market is almost 40% cheaper? Wow. Thats a huge difference. If you spent 1000 at the mkt, ame would cost 1400 at Gstore!! OMG! LOL

    Nicely done! I've seen a ton of videos talking about the fact that the prices in mercados are good, but the fact that you did a side-by-side comparison against the grocery store is exceptional. Recently found your content and working to catch up!

    I found the bananas at super Maxi only taste yellow. After living in amazonia I couldn't even eat it! It tasted like Canada.

    • @itchyfeetonthecheap
      @itchyfeetonthecheap  Рік тому +1

      Haha. So many banana options on Ecuador. I'll always love the ones that taste like Canada, but I miss the green ones that they mash up and use for bolon.

    Either way looks like extreme amounts of food for super good prices. How much are the frozen TV dinners? hahaha does that even exist? I'd love to see brands from other countries.

    • @itchyfeetonthecheap
      @itchyfeetonthecheap  3 роки тому

      That doesn't exist here. Honestly, that might just be a North American thing.

      Airport is open. You'll need a negative covid test to show them when you arrive. If you do that, then you don't need to quarantine.

      Not really. I really only see Asian people when I go to an Asian restaurant or an Asian grocery shop.
