October 2005


Here we are on our grocery trip for the week. As Nancy shopped John took pictures of some of the products in the aisles. We tried to pick a number of brands that you would know about, so you can see what some of the price comparisons are. Although, even American products taste a little different since most of them are made locally anyway.
The grocery store we are in is the one most like an American store - Pick N Pay Towers. It tends to have a wider range of items we would recognize, but it can also cost more. Even if we come here for the week, we like to also stop at the local Fruit and Vegetable market, which has better quality and prices.
