Mahalo Chicos,

As many of you or even all of you are seeing the increase in grocery store prices in your own country. Well, Montevideo, Uruguay is not any different. From the small corner mom and pop’s to the larger chain grocery stores, the prices are just obscene.

My other half and I are vegetarians so meat is not one of the prices I’d know about, but everything else yes.

On a given month we can spend about $250 American dollars of groceries. That includes most imported condiments (American Ketchup, Mustard, etc.). Just today, I was reviewing what I spent this week on food items and I could not believe that I already spent about $200. American dollars and that just for about a weeks worth of food.

I’ll have to post my grocery tickets so you can see. I know some people who are not that in to the quality of food that goes in to their mouth, but I surely am. So having to cut back on some food products is tough.

I can not even fathom  the prices in other countries. What are you doing to cut back or at least minimize the damage done to your wallet?

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
