I live in Florida, don’t think the prices are bad at all. The upper and lower chicken thighs and legs were very reasonable. The broccoli could be substituted for another vegetable. I usually convert the prices to US in order to compare. Not too bad at all.

Thanks for these videos. Contemplating moving to SVG from London, UK. Was in SVG in 2022, wasn't a fan of Massey, it was incredibly expensive in the store and the quality wasn't brilliant. Maybe because the products were coming from the USA, I found things very highly processed. Purchased fruit, veg and meat outside from vendors and the butcher. Something I need to get used to is how flour, sugar and rice, etc are bagged. I am used to buying the staple foods in larger quantities.

I try my best to avoid going to the grocery store. The prices are ridiculous. I found the GOYA products to be cheaper in St. Vincent than in Canada 🇨🇦. Try planting your ground provisions.

Yes I think we need to go back to having backyard gardens and grow our own food

I personally would gladly support the market vendors, buying ground food from them. Prices in svg, are way better for high quality organic foods , than here in Massachusetts. I pay as much as 15 usd for a tiny breadfruit, and that's when they are available 😂.

Am from saint Vincent and I don't have to buy ground provisions peppers cabbage etc cause my village grew these stuff even if u want calalou u jus tell a farmer u want some and you get it ❤❤ best you look for me and u save a lot of money

I'm living in Canada and it's not better here. We basically have to pay for everything we need. You go to the grocery store with a $100 and only walking out with Atleast 10 items. In St.Vincent you can have a good friend to give you some peppers or some fruits and provision.

Was there in January, and was surprised at how everything is so expensive. I remember when things was cheap and $100 could've taken you a long way. Things in England is way cheaper even if the prices are converted . Imagine that,smh. Sent two big boxes of groceries for my mother last week and sends her more money than I used to.

Good food costs more, I reside in the UK and cut back on non essential things. I shopped in Massy when I was in Vincy in December with a list. I was told next time to visit Bonadies and the market. Thank you for sharing.

Barbados is very cheap when it comes to food and transportation. As someone who travels back and forth between St. Vincent and Barbados every 2 months, I can say that confidently. Where I would spend 200 USD ($400 BDS) in Barbados in their supermarkets, I would have to spend atleast 300 USD ($800 ECD) in St.Vincent to get same or similar items.
