You know, ......I really like that you did this. Most people are tired of being shown the touristy things and expatriate experiences. What many of us really want to see is what it is like to really live in Belize. It is so kind of you and cool to see you do regular day to day things. it is really authentic.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thanks so much! We try to mix it up and give our viewers a bit of everything

[@scottmclaggan4995]

The fruit from the fruit stands is the best in the world! I swear! Plus they always have new fruits I've never seen in North America!

[@WillMitchellBelize]

You are the number 1 fruit god of Belize

What an Amazing Video with the local vendors and stores with Inside information of purchasing the everyday needs of groceries, Thank You Will!

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Lelo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brianmcdonald2128]

We enjoyed all of the fresh fruit. Great info Thanks Will

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Fresh fruit is the best.

[@jenniferlg512]

Moving down end of the month 🙌🏻. Super helpful information. Looking forward to the greenhouse!! Would also love a video on suggestions for meat/chicken stores, as well as coffee faves. Coffee is life 😂

[@coreydyer3568]

Great info, especially for travelers staying at a house for a week or 2. Being able to get fresh groceries at reasonable costs and making some meals can help with the budget. Or if you are living here the best places so you have options.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thanks very much, Corey!

[@littlesarahautism9787]

This was an amazing suggestion because I always travel with my little ones and I always want to know where's the nearest supermarket/ grocery store. love this video. p.s This is the LIFE I can't wait to live .

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Awesome suggestion!!

[@Pathfindernet]

I found SuperBuy to be one of the more expensive stores I visited. Most of the healthier items I like to buy were less costly at Greenhouse Market and in better condition. SuperBuy seems to mostly focus on North American imported items. Which, as you said, are much more costly. Like $8+ US for a box Cheerios. Buying groceries in San Pedro was at least double the cost of what I'm used to paying at home. And I'm not just speaking of the obviously more costly imported items. It's also crucial to pay very close attention to the expiration date on pre-packaged items. I found many that were 6 months to a year or so past the expiration.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Definitely is one of the pricier places. I am a big fan of the greenhouse market for the exact reasons you stated!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Great video. Do you have videos on the day to day infrastructure like electricity, water, gas, internet? How are people affected by blackouts or water cutoffs?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

We can make that happen!!

[@zyontiqueessentials8282]

Hi! Thank you so much for the video. How many mins (gold cart ride) is the fruit stand from Alaia Belize hotel?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

This one is only a couple of blocks away! Head south

[@mariselaflowers9981]

I love videos off people In San Pedro I feel like I it's fun cuz I live in sanpedro

[@elexispaige]

This was a great video suggestion! Maybe a coffee crawl next? I love the coconut cold brew at Mesa cafe.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Love that idea. We will definitely have to do that I need to stay caffeinated haha.

[@SaraFranklin-h9g]

Awsome. Thanks

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Trying to stick to local goods is the same need everywhere. What about online ordering from sites like Amazon? Electronics?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Hi Dovy, you can order from Amazon but it does require a little more effort to get it here. I order to Hyde Shipping in Miami and then they ship it down here to Belize for me

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@WillMitchellBelize By the way if there a lot of Canadians coming down in the winter then it can't be all that humid since at least in Alberta there is very little humidity, and people in Alberta don't like humid places!

[@johnrumaker3413]

That was fast! Thanks Will.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

We work quick here! Haha. Happy to help

[@FeminineElegancebyRoz]

Fabulous video. I'm planning a trip for my birthday July 2024. Any vegan restaurants? Smooches 💋

[@WillMitchellBelize]

We can do a video covering some of the best vegan options!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

How do people get to San Pedro Ambergris from Canada? Do you need a car or can you hire drivers to help? How is life without a car in SP?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

I am originally from Canada so it is quite common for Canadians to make their way down here. We have seasonal direct flights with Westjet out of Calgary and Toronto and if those aren't flying then you would take a stop in either Houston, Dallas or Miami. As for the no car situation it really depends on how far you're transiting everyday. For the most part things are in close proximity in town and the golf carts work just fine for those small trips. If you're someone who works at a resort in the far North then it is a more tedious drive

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@WillMitchellBelize Retired folks in golf carts as a form of local transportation.?! That's cute. And flights directly from Calgary to San Pedro? I'm amazed. They don't even have direct flights to Cuenca Ecuador or Guadalajara. We'll be moving to Calgary soon as a matter of fact. I'm from there originally.

[@dustinrennie1477]

Great stuff

[@dixieacosta5797]

Love it

[@WillMitchellBelize]

The best fruit.

[@PainInTheGrAssPetWasteRemoval]

Awesome video man...**Weird question alert**...OK, so i am a carnivore, i eat a 100% animal based diet. No fruit, veggies, breads...etc....Do you have "meat markets" on the island where you can get fresh or frozen ground beef(mostly what i eat), Ribeye steak, filet mignon...etc??

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Hey Joseph, good to hear from you brother. There are a couple meat markets on the island so you will have some options!

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Maybe that will be one of our next videos

[@PainInTheGrAssPetWasteRemoval]

@@WillMitchellBelize Would love to see that.

[@elliottbudd7704]

Great information!

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Thanks Elliott!

[@leanncantu4986]

Yes! I feel as tourists we are charged more than other places

[@leanncantu4986]

I think 1stop is very pricey I don't cook much when I'm there I normally go to backstreet's to locals for for my lunches. There is a lady catty-corner from Caribbean chicken she sells good tacos in morning normally gone by after as is the case with most good food stops on the street- places close for lunch.

[@leanncantu4986]

Front street shopping centers are always more to me

[@leanncantu4986]

Man your making me want to fly out tonight

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Do it!!! Haha. I highly recommend it.

[@brianmcdonald2128]

Where is the best place to get fresh seafood if you don't have a boat?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Great question, Brian. Generally what I do is go to some of the local fisherman to deliver we can put some more info together on this

[@LaticiaTaylorReneea]

Where to buy the seafood, I eat a ton of crab, lobster and prawns

[@WillMitchellBelize]

The local fisherman supply the island with fresh seafood daily!

[@rapidresponserepairllc.man9552]

Hey Will I'm not sure if you do the shopping I would think you have it all picked out for you and delivered you know kind of like Guy Lefeiri the big celebrity. You know now that you hit the 5000 mark you're going to need security cause of the poparitzi. 😆 lol. Great job bud appreciate the info. I'd love to see you and Gold shop together. 😆 😆 lol.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Hahahah. You're on point with this one. Gold is always my shopping buddy.

[@rapidresponserepairllc.man9552]

@@WillMitchellBelize 😆 lol love it. I would love to see you both shopping together.

How can get visa from Dubai

[@leanncantu4986]

I'm for the green mark

[@jayboogeyman]

is it true that a bag of lays chips is 25 dollars?

[@WillMitchellBelize]

Not true that would be insane

[@EgilWar]

The green oranges are great. All meat is frozen and not great. Chicken seems to be your best bet. The bakeries are a bit of a joke in that they seem to use the same flour/recipe for all breads. The vegetables are great but you need to buy them when they get delivery from the mainland. Don't buy any imported goods, if you have a local option.

[@WillMitchellBelize]

You should check out our most recent video on farming in Belize. Think you will enjoy it

[@leanncantu4986]

Have you ever gone to the butcher

[@FostRaider]

How is inflation hitting Belize?

[@Aalexander03]

$4.45 Almond Milk and $4 Kale is still cheaper than here in 🇨🇦 + tax 🤮. We’re so moving there lol.
