Here in Thailand the price of meat, specifically pork, has gone threw the roof, along with the petrol prices! The great thing about 'developing' countries is the multi-level availability of food stuffs from the grass-root seller/vendor to the full-scale commercial supermarket. Nobody goes hungry.

[@johnlucassimborios6762]

same here in the Philippines.. i. cant eat pork meat to expensive.. the gasoline is to high

[@fidelrobles9670]

Life in the philippines is great! some of my old friends from korea who were about to retire selected my Philippines because of our good culture here. They like the climate and not so expensive foods unlike in their homeland which is expensive. I knew that their retirement benefits is hefty sum and they want to settle down here in the philippines. You wont regret living here bro!

[@merciseignuer1030]

Maria.for foriegner is cheap. But for pinoysiving in the PHILIPPINES! Is too expensive.

[@rannarann9316]

Its expensive for us filipinos living in the philippines coz of the imbalance of salary and daily expenses. Like nothing left in your salary.

[@mariac5346]

I agree it’s very very expensive. I cannot imagine. I went for groceries and I paid 7k and I only had 5 paper bags worth of groceries 😬

[@hannahthe_lion3751]

Lol saaaame, I thought it was just me because I keep seeing this vlogs saying everything is cheap🤣

But actually for Filipinos, prices are quite higher than usual. Just think of Magic Sarap as reference from ₱3 before to ₱5 now.

[@Hicks-g1m]

I love to go grocery shopping here in the Philippines it's one of my most favorite things to do here and I always find the food I want

[@jessejoe7216]

When I lived in the Philippines, almost all American foods there in Manila at grocery stores were very expensive. Even the beer like Budweiser and the liquor Jack Daniels was sky rocket in price. So I just shopped for what they had for cheap, or I just ate what they had at the karenderia or BBQ out on the street! So much cheaper!

[@jeiaporto6501]

Yes sir and mam for the westerners like you the cost of living here in the Philippines is not that much because maybe you earn a lot but for the locals like us the prices of goods and services are too much since we just earn a little. Imagine the prices compared to the salary. Most of the workers just got a standard wage of 500-600 hundred pesos a day in the National Capital Region while in the provinces mostly got 300-400 pesos rate per day. How much more for those who doesn't have a stable income? Also dollar is much higher than our peso. Only high earning people, big business men and foreigners are enjoying simply because they can afford a lot, for them it's too much heaven to s stay here.

And corrupt politicians earn a lot gere.

You are correct.

USA packaging could learn ALOT from this store. They use the least amount of packaging possible, great for lessing waste and the price. I just spent a couple weeks in PH for my first time and had the time of my life BUDDY, u walked right past the monster steaks. That's how i'd be eating

Great vid! It definitely helps people decide on their cost of living expenses.

Staying at a premiere tourist destination spot as Boracay will really be expensive but most foreign couple vloggers like you may opt to buy or rent a condo in Cebu or Manila. The rent of Php 20,000 is equivalent to a monthly payment for a condo that you may own and it is in the heart of the city so that everything is at arms reach. Do considers this and thank you for loving our country specially our people, stay healthy & safe and God bless!

Not cheap at all in Philippines for food. Beef or veggies like lettuce or brocolli is about 5 times more expensive vs USA. Even chicken/pork is high in the Philippines at grocery stores.

[@wavemaker2077]

Buy the Clara Ole Three Cheese. It's the best sauce for spaghetti. Not sweet at all. The spaghetti that we buy is the Baronia Spaghettini 3. Try it.

[@KrisTyUSLife]

[@debralarrabee4530]

Price differential for groceries is interesting. And did you really show instant coffee with sugar and powdered “creamer” already added?? I have never seen that in Houston stores.

[@BiancaBeyond]

Since instant coffee is 90% of the coffee market here it has more options available. Really hard to find grind coffee and coffee makers

[@mickstafford456]

@@BiancaBeyond I live in Mindanao, and they actually grow coffee here. It's still hard to find beans or ground coffee when I go shopping. Have to say that I bought some of that Nescafe black roast instant a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't impressed. Unless I can find local ground coffee, I'll stick with 200g of Nescafe Gold. It's expensive, at 583 pesos in my local supermarket. But at least it's drinkable (I take my coffee black, with no sugar, so the ready mixed sachets are a big no no).

[@johnharding9605]

They have very good meats at Monterey Meatshop Boracay. Located on the same side of the street as budget mart station 3 just walk about 1 block from budget mart in the direction of station 2. Good quality and closer than the mall.

[@kosasigwalo1895]

as much as I would like to suggest the palengke(wet and dry market) for cheaper goods... nah... they're for us with cast-iron stomachs. but if you're up for canned/packed goods, it's cheaper in supermarkets.

If you want to get more cheaper. Do not buy any raw or organic food on the supermarket inside the Mall Instead go to local wet Market. 30% to 50% more cheaper.

Interesting to see what is on the shelves. Unknown brands must be a but hit or miss but you have got to try them I guess. Your local friends will be able to help you select which brands are worth trying to which is a lucky advantage. Great prices compared to the $€£ but perhaps expensive if living on a local cost of earnings. All very interesting and love the real life vlogs - showing the reality of how you guys are living and maintaining a budget. Go get that meat on the bbq 😋🤪😜

SM Supermarkets in any city offer more Foreigner related foods, especially Robinson's Supermarkets. You can get almost anything.

[@ranniemanangan5371]

Regarding to the spaghetti sauce, most of the spaghetti sauce in the market are already seasoned... If you want non sweet sauce, choose the italian style one as the Filipino style is a sweet blend style sauce.. And also beef is not as popular as pork here as Philippines is not suitable for large scale raising of cows and also they're more pricey than pork.. If you want cheaper fresh produce, we get those on local public markets especially the wet market for fresh fish and meats

[@duchessnana]

Shelves in Iloilo Supermart which has many branches in your new home base carry imported passatas or tomato sauces like Ragu as well. The branch next to the Iloilo Provincial Capitol stocks up good quality imported products including cheeses.

When buying Spaghetti Sauce, buy those labelled Italian Style, not Pinoy Style.

[@BiancaBeyond]

They seem to be very sweet too? We are used to it tasting like tomato with spices only

[@mickstafford456]

@@BiancaBeyond Don't forget that you need to check which brand of spaghetti and pasta you buy too, as a lot of the Philippine ones are loaded with sugar too.

[@andrewaswang]

@@BiancaBeyond On a side note, the Filipino propensity for sweetness might be from a mix of historical and geographical reasons. Historically, sugarcane might have originated here and in Papua thousands of years ago and spread throughout the rest of the world. Geographically near the equator, the Philippines uses sugar, salt and vinegar (all three combinations can be found in Filipino dishes), as well as ginger, and garlic -- to prevent food from spoiling in the hot climate before refrigeration was available.

For meats, seafood, vegetables and fruits it is cheaper to shop in the nearest local wet market. Pros are that they are more cheaper and more fresh. The cons are they only accept cash, and they dont speak english that much, and they are located in no AC establishments.

I mean she is pretty with her eyeglasses on but she's even prettier without it and besides that she is not wearing any make up so its natural beauty. For me what's make her more beautiful was, she dressed simple unlike the other vloggers wearing a bunch of make ups and very sexy outfits so they can have more views.

Actually when you convert pesos to dollars its quite reasonable. Imagine a product worth 50 pesos thats a dollar. Some commodities that are not usually sold are the ones expensive. ITS THE LAW OF DEMAND as you can say

[@getrekt6635]

I bought those “Goreng ABC” ramen noodles too, and I did not like them. The seasoning powder and sauce that came with mine looked like they are expired. If you wanna buy ramen noodles, go with the local brand “lucky me” chicken, beef, etc. (ramen with soup) or “pancit canton” (dry ramen, no soup) calamansi or sweet and spicy flavor. Then if the Indonesian brand “Mi Goreng” is available, then take that too (very tasty and cheap too).

[@getrekt6635]

I usually take the original Mi Goreng brand but can’t find them on the shelves so I took the ABC goreng instead and was disappointed.
