most Filipino in my hometown don't plant anymore, they just want to buy all things even kangkong or sweet potatoe leaves. I sometimes question the storeotype notion that we Filipino are some of the best hardworking people.

Enjoying all your videos

Please buy your wife Samsung S24 Ultra for once so she has no need to more extras 🤞she deserves that much doesn’t she 🤔 Presents are presents

BIG MAC meal in the US > $10 -- $18 - depending on where ! ---- More than double ?

It is a good thing to help your lady if you can.

I give my Thai wife 100,000 a month for two house that we use. One in town and our country home which is our main home where we reside . We are both retired.and own a few Rai around Thailand that we rent out.

Grocery and gas prices are the same or even higher than in the US. The only cheap stuff are services like haircut, doctors visit, massage although these services are in a 2nd or 3rd class province of Bohol.

Interesting video. Stay safe my friends. God bless you all .🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hi, great video. Pls tell Ms Jovi's gwapa sister I said hello. I believe she's single?

This week in Panglao DIY we have door mods, updates on Jovi's phone of the month and children's arson (roll intro music here).

I’ve lived here for four years and I can’t tell you what the price of a mango is ….my oceanfront rental is $3655 US a month. Pocket change. Pay what they ask.

Do they have Oikos greek yogurt ? Any yogurt at all available ?

If you're happy that's all that matters.

Somewhat the same over here in Inopacan Leyte, we try to eat as much fresh meat and produce as we can. Our name brand grocery store is Metro here. And you are right about getting things fixed, repaired,, but I Stay out of the picture and let the wife handle the negotiations, when Filipinos See's a white guy, the American tax gets put on the bill, I stay back around the corner till the job is done, then I show up 😮

It is amazing how far your house has come. You have made a beautiful home there. Congratulations!

Great Informative Video! Really Liked the Skit! Very Funny! Hope to catch up with you later this week! And Mike hope you get over your Red Horse 🐎 Fever Soon! Stay well!

😊👍🏼

Good video Jeff. One of the better cost of living vlogs I'd seen so far. My wife and I live in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga and I'd say our grocery prices may be a little lower, however the cost of some services may be a bit more.

I hope your twin brother Mike is ok. Next time please stock up on redhorse beer so you dont have to call 999.

Soup and cereal looks cheap everything else not so much.

For a local on 20,000 pesos a month life is extremely expensive don’t forget they’re taxed very highly too and rent is not cheap for a worker.

Great video! I found that it's kinda expensive to grocery shop at the grocery stores...

Your gas prices are wrong.

Mike I'm 63 waiting for my social security at 67 I'll get 2200 a month how comfortable can I live on that?

Very informative video I just subscribed thank you

the meats and eggs prices are not that much of a difference vs the prices in the US. But Those are Supermarket prices, I bet the prices in Traditional market would be cheaper. On Medical procedures, how much does it cost to do Colonoscopy there? haha They are out of beer? Good god ...

globalization brings uniformity in prices of goods and services.

The cheapest supermarket chain in bohol is the Alturas chian they also own Colonnade supermarkets in cebu .

Very small tax on petro in the Philippines.

There are Two hard discount supermarkets in the Philippines. Same as Aldi or Lidi in the usa or Europe or Australia. 1. O save. 2. Dali Everyday. All you see in the video is high end supermarkets.

Guy, 2 years ago I used to eat and drink like you are now. After 3 years of eating and drinking all that sugar, carbs and chemicals I became fat and ill. Now I’m healthy and fit. How? I quit ALL that shit junk food and alcohol! I pray you wake up before it’s too late!

The reason why the milk has a long expiration date it's because they follow the European pasteurization method which uses a higher temperature than the American method

MANY seems to forget that Philippines is a ISLAND nation...all the food and things that isnt locally produced has to be transported with ferries often in many steps and different trucks and ferries between islands and sometimes even by air. That's why mainland nations like Thailand cambodia vietnam etc often is cheaper on many basic things than Philippines.

Westeners are coming in south east asia enormously because still affordable living , take note south east asia do not support war that’s why living here is paradise , there is inflation but not painful ...😂...reverse migration is taking place . Check in Thailand, malaysia , PhL malaysia , so much application for retirement and digital nomad visas for remote working ...Foreigners are buying properties also and rent long term stays because their money can go a long way here . They can live like a king with the money they have as well as the pensions they are receiving ...real talk that’s is what’s happening now .... south east asia is quietly booming, who would think one day this gonna happen.😅

The ground beef was my biggest food issue here. As I eat a carnivore way of eating, ground beef is my primary go to. It became unenjoyable after three times having to pick sharp pieces of cartilage out of my mouth. I ended up finding an importer of Demkota and Nebraska USDA Ribeye slabs in Manila and have him deliver whole slabs to the Southwoods SM where I meet him for pickup. I will usually pay about 15,000 pesos per slab. Also S&R has Kirkland ground beef in five 1lb roll packs as well as ground beef patties. You can also buy 500g (1lb) packs of ground beef from Pacific Bay if they deliver close to you. Our grocery bills usually breaks about 35,000 pesos a month when my wife's food items, water, coffee and other seasonings and stuff are added in, but thats not the norm for many immigrants here if they do not eat a meat based diet. Gas here in my part of the Cavite province is comparable to prices in the US (inflation is a global issue). Service prices here are not terrible with the exception of getting vehicles serviced at dealerships... They kill you with the add-ons even worse than in the US as far as we have experienced. ... That ending skit... lol comical for sure...

Its the lack of selection that gets me and the 2 local malls groceries departments have a bad roach problem here

Hi, I’m looking to move there soon but need to research first. A hair cut here in southern MS is $40 and gas is around $3/gal for 87 octane.

Philippines is not cheap to live there anymore

Hello 👋 there. I just became a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for this great 👍 informative video with important information on prices of most things that you would need on a daily basis. Take care and keep up the great work.

I know a village in Cebu where you can buy pork for P180/kg. The smaller the town you live in the cheaper everything is...

A gardener, maid, and general labor are around 6 dollars a day. Groceries are NOT cheap in the Philippines….Also expect dented, damaged goods not to be discounted. Anything that is shipped into he country has an import tax and the prices show….Just the fact a store has Western goods you are familiar with typically has premium.

Its now cheaper in the Philippines for food and beer then Thailand but rents are more expensive in the Philippines

Gas there is more than in the USA!!

Prices are reasonable but you definitely get your returns on investment because the people are friendly and the women are in abundance and they are absolutely 💯 percent gorgeous, sweet, kind and loving. Thanks for sharing 👌🏾

Good video for prices. The petrol cost is about the same / or a bit less than petrol in California.

thanks you for doing this video

Hahaha, that skit with Mike's beer fit was hilarious. I am an American from California but live in Tijuana Mexico on the border with San Diego. In general this place is more expensive with other parts of Mexico but it certainly is way cheaper over all to love here especially in regards to house. I bought one ocean view lot in Rosarito and built a house and one in Tijuana, my primary living place. I could not do that in California. Local restraunts and food is cheaper on average and so are utililities as well as propert tax and Haircuts. But some things like auto repair, cars and appliances, Home Depot and Costco can be the same or more. ENJOY THE PHILLIPINES. I haven't been since I was on the Navy in 1987 and miss it. SUBIC BAY and Olangapo. Say hello to Mike and get him a cold beer or two.😂

Groceries are about the same as the states. Obviously, the savings are in repair services and medical services. Gas is about the same. O, rent is also where you save a lot of money.

live and eat like a westerner - PAY like a westerner ..its the same in all se-asia. Especially now when the whole western world : Europe america canada australia nz etc food prices and product prices seems to go insane.

Wow still everything is a lot cheaper than in Washington state
