Crissy is a true mother, she ensure that her place stock with groceries..even for you cmr. Women think about now and beyond! We think about the "just in case" scenarios. Please dont turn both backs on O.C. please🙏🙏🙏💞
Household only has 4 of us...and every week the meat shop we spend 6000..somethings I cant get at the wholesale..I have to go progressive or hi lo...that's 27000..so on average 34000.00 per week..and we dont include gas, light and water yet!!
I’m from ARNETTE GARDEN / CONCRETE JUNGLES now living in New York and New Jersey for the pass 25 years and go back to Jamaica every chance I get with my wife and daughter.
Same thing i was going to say one thing about jamaicans the love stars whether they are track star football star musician vloggers they will defend them to the fullest big up the carters
@@katource1 when you visit Jamaica people attack you for no reason but I listen the foreign news people get attacked for no reason everyday, so be careful in newyork.
I think because there was a time when people used to just beg people who are abroad and flex with the money that them sending instead of using it for its intended purpose. I know of several instances previously where people did that. But right now things really crazy expensive in Jamaica for true.
@@sugadre123 yea mi know them use to do those things but now the whole world have this issue about price..... so im just happy someone else said it ..to show something really go so
@@chavargossop6835 it serious fi true ,,,TALK TRUTH can the average Jamaican come up with $35,000 for food??? Mi really have to laugh because mi caaa cry.. but is really serious and base on what they bigger heads are saying it going to get WORST...
Chrissy when I was in Jamaica I do not shop at megamart. I go to the wholesale and do bulk. For a family of 4 I spend close to $80,000 per month. I go to the market weekly for fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables in the supermarket is ridiculously priced.
Let the lady shops where she chose to not everybody buys from wholesale, some of them sell knock off stuff, I remember buying a pack of rice and when I got home it was expired 2 years ago with supermarket u can pick chose and refuse what to buy, they do whatever works for them. Not everybody love coronation market I don't I don't like the dust plus no where to park so I buy everything in supermarket
Crissy you took up quite a few stuff. When I visit Florida is basically similar. Prices on food around the world is rising. Great to have the family in JA...Enjoy your vacay ❤️
I am from Jamaica n I am in Florida and to buy food stuffs I will pay like 100. But I am 100% guaranteed I could never buy the things I buy in the US in Jamaica and pay 15000. If we calculating USD at 150. So think about that. Its always some 20000 n I love alone.
Food prices high everywhere. I wish people would come off Jamaica back like a only Jamaica have high prices. America food prices high or higher in some cases
Cushane you prolly wont understand, but I'm sure you and the kids benefit from most if not all the things your wife buys, she shops with the family in mind. A good woman is content when her family is straight. 💯
Happy to see you guys in Jamaica 🇯🇲 that's how it is chrissy and cmr food is getting really expensive my family is 6 I spend over 7g a week to buy stuffs some days we just skip cooking as it's costly rent light bill water have to pay so can't cook everyday . But giving God thanks for all he is doing . Enjoy your vacation guys love you all .
The people them weh a mek video bout how it’s easier in Jamaica need fi see this .. Them need fi come home to the high cost of living in Ja and stop discriminate people bout them love beg .. Sometimes ppl just cannot do better!!
Household of 4..... 2 adults one teenager and one 3 year old spending $40,000.00 on a good day... every two weeks. Jamaica no normal but have to do what I got to do.
Welcome to Jamaica Chrissy, yuh tink a Florida dis, yuh gaan a tek up "Bounty" and case a tissue innna those expensive places 🤣🤣🤣🤣girl a roll mi a roll when yuh a say 10,000. You best believe it, a small little family of 4 can't eat food for a month for less than 100,000 and no steak or lobster is in that. Anyway girl, enjoy yuhself a jam dung yaa♥️
Mi sey i laugh so hard wen shi sey 10,000- 15,000 😂😂😂😂 no sah.. Is like nuh body neva tell dem bout Mega Mart and how dem prices extra high.. Chrissy is best unuh go wholesale from now on.
Exactly! Can't go Jamaica a buy dem deh big pack a Bounty of all things! Have to settle with a cheaper brand mi luv. I'm not in Jamaica but when I visit I adjust my pocket to my surroundings. Have to mek the little money stretch 😂😂😂
Guys, next time don't go to Mega Mart. They tax everything and their prices are considerably higher than a regular supermarket/wholesale, etc. Cost of living here is at an all time high, so shopping smart is key.
Chrissy please be careful with your purse bag and phone when you are out. Don't leave them in the trolley.Because remember sometimes you guys are paying attention to your vlogging.
Great to see you guys! Next time, ship your barrels way ahead of your arrival....that could cut down on your expenditure. Things are very expensive here.🌹💞
listen.... Jamaica ain't for the lazy no more cause the cost of living is so high I hate it here....and we government keep raising the things and not thinking about his people of the lower class who work minimum wage and can't afford nothing.
That's the way it goes! When I am in Jamaica I spend even More than that and have barriel to pick up, get what you need enjoy you all self and live it up nice in our beautiful Jamaica! Just stay safe! God bless you and family! I'm enjoying the JA vlogs!
Chrissy I believe you shop wisely in America. So yea life is what it is buy the things we need and not too much of what we want and then throw it out. Also eat more of what will keep you in good health and less of the unhealthy stuff. That's my though on this topic.
I went to Pricemart in April and the only thing that I have topped up on is the case of tissue I still have grocery from that time and I shopped for house of 4. The only thing we buy on weekends is meat kind and we spent 100k at pricemart and as i said before we still have groceries from that time till now. Yes it is expensive here in Jamaica but you have to shop wisely look for the cheaper places and buy in bulk so it serves longer.
So real have fun stay safe don't trust no one we are living in a wicked world nothing wrong is the people them nu nicevpure corruption ok love you guys ❤
Cost of living is ridiculous here I laughed so hard when chrissy said 15 k n harder at CMR 22k cuz I knew that it would be 40k the case a tissue n pack of hand towel alone a 6k if not more plus a mega mart that so guys ya'll stay in America cuz it's a rough rd out here
Everytime i loved at there video's ..i felt lije if a part of the family..jys luv them all..luv the way crissy family oriented..luv shopping cleaning and cooking ..that me rite there
I realize you guys don’t know the cost-of-living in Jamaica when you said the bill was gonna be $15,000. I feel it for my fellow Jamaicans because I’ve experience it when I visit. Anyways, I’m thoroughly enjoying your vlogs in Jamaica! Be vigilant each day because the thieves are out. Love your channel! Keep up the good work!
Jamaica is crazy right now. Also here on vacation right now and every single thing we have paid for we could never guess the price. It always shocks us. I dont know how people are surviving out here. And its not only Megamart as some other commenters are saying. We shop other places and it just as bad. Buy a few snacks and is 10grand. Buy any fast food at all is at least 2-3 grand. Dont even talk bout TOLL. No wonder every song is about scamming. Thats the wrong thing obviously but if them going work so hard and still can't buy anything....jah know. When people can't provide for themselves all rule of law go out the window. Still the best country in the world but I dont think people realize how serious things are getting 😕. Hope we don't turn into Haiti
@@craigreynolds191 True some people are idlers but you will always find a portion of people who are like that. But for people like my mother who is a former teacher now pensioner this inflation is brutal. Normal decent hard working people suffering.
Yes guys I enjoyed the vlog especially when the supporters came to greet you that was nice yes really expensive out there sorry for the people who hardly can find the money to get themselves what they really would like to eat and not just eat what they can afford but try to enjoy your vacation my peeps may God be there with you all always with his blessings always🇯🇲❤🇯🇲❤
@courtney clarke ...I agree with 110%...they have to b careful not everyone that says yes we love actually mean it. I love them dearly and was happy they didnt show certain stuff on vlogs no license plate #...dont tell where they r staying none of that....AND FOR THE POP UP SHOW PLEASE GET SECURITY...the next thing in regards to Cushane's question Jamaicans typically dont go to Price Mart..maybe if u want to purchase a cake like what my husband always tell me but wholesale is where it's at....saving those coins.
Crissy everything is expensive here.. we just have to purchase what we really need instead of what we want. Cost aliving goes up every day..and the salary aint moving...but.we have to survive.. Love you guys❤❤ enjoy your stay..
i live on minimum wage so i have to grocery shop every 2 weeks, sometimes every week. Maybe 10 -15000 a week. so i thank God my baby's father income is way more than mine.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇯🇲 snack alone is a arm and a leg, when I am in Jamaica I make lemonade with plenty lemon 🍋 and lime. Enjoy your vacation Chrissy and CMR 🌴☀️🌻baby OC know how fi greet her guest😀✌️
Hi Mrs.Crissy ,CMR,OC everybody around the world is complaining about the grocery prices I hope y'all enjoyed yourself in Jamaica I love your braids # team Crissy, baby OC 's always telling everyone in the video hey I spend about $400 a month I live by myself but I also go to Sam's Wholesale and I use coupon save me a lots I download the Dollar General app Krogers have a app on the phone HEB have a app on the phone the Family Dollar have a app too I save at Walgreens be blessed always happy Fourth of July💛🧡🙏
House hold of two we spend a maximum of $18-20 thousands a week, meat products and cleaning stuff is usually the highest , it also depends on where you shop.Wholesales cost a little less because you buy in bulk.
Even though its hard people still shop hard, also every day the fast-food places are overfull. The different class of people will have different comments. For me I buy in bulk so I don't buy the same stuff every month and my family is 3 of us. I roughly will spend $25,000 per month I eat mostly vegetables, chicken, ackee and saltfish, meat now and again. I make porridge twice a week with lasco which is better than eating 4 slices of bread for breakfast. We have to just know how to shop make use of the wholesale prices. Buy in bulk yea. I don't complain much as God is good and life CD always be worst. Everywhere in the world life is hard for some persons.
That's my weekly shopping for a family of 5 and sometimes more and I don't shop at Mega Mart coz the Chinese Supermarkets and wholesales are way cheaper so I shop with them and I buy my fruits, vegetables and ground provisions in the market and another thing when you're in Jamaica don't compare prices or else u will die for hungry just like when ur in the US a dollar is a dollar everywhere u go but I hope you guys enjoy ur stay here in the land of wood n water n beautiful sunshine.
When i saw the grocery i knew it would be in the 30s. Goceries are really high. OC knows how to welcome the folks. Crissy you arent a mean girl. Some would come and depend on dem barrell
Well Chrissy and Cushane, yard expensive. 1 adult and 1 child (4 year old) and I try not to spend 40k for the month but I fail every time. I have to be very cognizant of what I purchase. Take out is a different amount if I want to get KFC on some Fridays and Beef patties for lunch on Saturday.
OC is so entertaining she is a happy baby very sweet and sensible lovely little soul she can certainly smile OC let every body she comes in contact with smiling away she is going to be very intelligent God bless you guys enjoy your stay
The hand towels is pretty expensive only bought 2 for the month with household of 4. I use the soft kitchen cloths for wiping up mess that might leave on the counter so forth. Pretty much Jamaica expensive however spend wisely is what I do tax is 15% so somethimes most things are bought in linstead market or wholesale.The pineapple you could get right at bogwalk its more expensive in the supermarket. Not to mention meat Oxtail a brush nearly $2000. Hope you enjoy you all vacation 😊...started watching since year never stop from then...bless
I went to Jamaica and did the same thing, the morning after arriving in Jamaica I went to megamart just to get things for breakfast and snacks for my little girl and ended up spending over $25000. I never go back there I stick to the wholesalers were I spent half as much for twice the amount of shopping.... anyways enjoy your holiday Carter family. Love you all.
Awww ..Fulljoy your vacation guys, you all deserve it..I too like to Shop when I visit Jamaica so I understand Crissy 👍🏾 She right when she said the most important thing is eating ..Bless up unnu self ina JA..🙏🏾🆙️🆙️❤️🇯🇲
Cost of living is over high in JA and d poverty level is high. Persons who have a family to buy for goes to wholesale where you get discount for 3 or 6 items. DUTTY TOUGH
Try shopping at hilo or supper value😃 and whenever you are shopping in jamaica take a list of things that you really need then once you buy the neccessities than after you buy other thing also each brand come with different.I can tell you what fo but try buying the cheap things when are shopping or pack a barrel send it down and when you come you clear it.
15000 per week for a family of 4. And this doesn't include market stuff and things run out in the week. A person who is not able to work during this time its very hard to survive because this cost only includes the most important things. More time I have to be searching for the cheaper wholesalers but it still not stretching at all. Fuljoy your vacation crissy and cushane♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you're shopping in Jamaica you can't shop in one place on get good price especially megga mart with snacks you have to go to national or honey bun out let's to get the real price the whole sale is the best option for meat rice on flour not mrgga mart
Baby OC love her crocs Always enjoy watching chrissy shopping food get so expensive God help us OC is so smart I love her an Kira qin an janay #Teamchrissy #Team OC
The next time tries 'PRICE SMART, you will get that grocery, for less, and more grocery for that cost , just signed up for a membership card, Welcome to Jamaica.❤️❤️❤️
Chrissy Jamaica cost of living is expensive but it’s even more expensive when you go to mega mart…. They are very expensive if you had gone to a regular supermarket it would have been less expensive. My monthly shopping is like 50k per month sometimes less if I don’t have things from the previous month as it’s just me alone this includes Pricesmart/supermarket and meat shop. The amount of things you got from mega mart is not worth the amount that was spent.
That's how it is in Jamaica, the weather is wonderful but cost of living is very high. Most people don't really "go shopping" they just get the necessary. Enjoy your vacation 💥💕💯
I spent $80 a month for my food am a Jamaican but it's too much for me.you see when they ask for money in Jamaica and you sent $50 you see y they have to cuss because it's can't buy anything big up your nice clean self CMR and all so wifee and children hope you all having a fantastic one
Them lucky you can send $50 who will give it to me in the USA saying that's why them cuss! Lol 😆 A 10/15 dollar an hr A dollar is a dollar! Work hard and live! Big to crispy and family! Thanks for sharing
Look here you can't wait until things get expensive before you look work.From I know my self Jamaica is expensive but we have to survive by the help of the Almighty
Let me share something with you Cushane and Crissy, I went to the supermarket yesterday 1.7.2022. The few things that I could afford to buy it was over $10,000 and I didn't get alot of what I need. I had to buy some in 5lbs and 2lbs, I cut down to my last straw and can't cut anymore, buy the end of the I have to be going back to het other things and even what ran out. I didn't even buy any toiletries, soap powder, meat yet and market stuff. I have a family of 4 and 3-4 times for the month I go shopping. I've never seen this kind of hardship in all my life. Some people are still getting minimum wage $9000 per week. Bills, food, household items, rent, children going to school, check that out. Guy's it's all gone, nothing is left in Jamaican.
Tia Lawrence, I would advise you to do a little farming and go to the market and sell the things on weekends You have try hard and break the curse of poverty
Okay now, let's be realistic, 35,000 Jamaican dollars is just about 200 USD. That's quite decent for the items you bought, even in USA standards. Prices have increased worldwide. Many times people visit and when the go to purchase items, the first thing they do is complain. Prices in the USA will be lower in some instances because of economies of scale, high import taxes and transportation cost incurred by business owners in countries like Jamaica. In my opinion, absolutely nothing is wrong with the cost of those items.
For two adults it can be anywhere from $50,000 to $70,000 per month. Things like juice, bread and etc will run out weekly. Yes it is hard to live here hence people are running even the patriotic ones. Despite how hard you work you still can't see your way. I am a teacher and it's alot for me. That aside guys welcome hoem to you all including Janice and your little cousin and enjoy your return home. Trust Quin had a splendid birthday and all the best for the Pop Up Shop. From St. Thomas Jamaica... It's all to you Carter Fam.
Na live within them means 2 adults alone shouldn't be paying such for food.jamaica full a too much vegetable and fruits..ppl buy unnecessary stuff wey full a sickness.
@@camrock6478 fruits and vegetables are still are still expensive nevertheless and you never know what a person's story is or their situation. Where they are situated plays a role in this too. But have you gone to the market recently? Plus she just bought a few items and that was $35,000 where was the shopping like she was rich in that? Y'all are so quick to judge people Y'all don't even know it's appalling.
@@tastesweet9027 you speak ignorantly. Firstly cost of living varies in Jamaica based on where you live. I can assure you that even the cost of snacks will be different at different places in the one parish. Additionally it's funny to see the people who are maybe talking about living within their means. What do you do for a living? I ask because I am not a flamboyant person, I have never partied, don't shop and all that so I live within my means but the question was whether or not food is expensive and it is. If you don't know it is maybe your means is above the average person's own or you are clearly not the one spending so you just talk freely from an uninformed place.
Me glad unuh see when unuh come here how things expensive n when d likkle man send n feel it fi serve n stretch all stitch u stich up d money fi stretch it . Memba me tell u it rufffff but girl me buy 3 nah buy a whole case a paper towel
16:55 welcome back to Jamaica hon … the struggle is real , I only shop for myself and my husband and I can only afford to pay a little over $30k per month and the stuff doesn’t even last for the entire month … it rough bad … sometimes am glad we don’t have kids yet cause hungry woulda kill me and him 😢
Start buy cases start little so me dweet an see it better that way me start of by 2 case a water,juice,even kool aid by box you will see it last longer every month by 2 case water you will see by 3 months you no affi spend 30 cause a lot of stuff will still be their
but when u av kids it's going to be worst cus things going up everyday not to mention pampers so if unnu plan fi still av kids it better unnu start now cus a worst it a get not better

Anyways, I’m thoroughly enjoying your vlogs in Jamaica! Be vigilant each day because the thieves are out. Love your channel! Keep up the good work!
welcome to Jamaica Chrissy!! the struggle is real!@@😂
Jamaica is crazy right now. Also here on vacation right now and every single thing we have paid for we could never guess the price. It always shocks us. I dont know how people are surviving out here. And its not only Megamart as some other commenters are saying. We shop other places and it just as bad. Buy a few snacks and is 10grand. Buy any fast food at all is at least 2-3 grand. Dont even talk bout TOLL. No wonder every song is about scamming. Thats the wrong thing obviously but if them going work so hard and still can't buy anything....jah know. When people can't provide for themselves all rule of law go out the window. Still the best country in the world but I dont think people realize how serious things are getting 😕. Hope we don't turn into Haiti
Jamaica hard but person find ways to survive the struggle, no-one complain about the price for hair , beverage at parties and etc
@@craigreynolds191 True some people are idlers but you will always find a portion of people who are like that. But for people like my mother who is a former teacher now pensioner this inflation is brutal. Normal decent hard working people suffering.
You better believe it !
The problem is when you're living of fix income that problem ahead patiently waiting and you
Yes guys I enjoyed the vlog especially when the supporters came to greet you that was nice yes really expensive out there sorry for the people who hardly can find the money to get themselves what they really would like to eat and not just eat what they can afford but try to enjoy your vacation my peeps may God be there with you all always with his blessings always🇯🇲❤🇯🇲❤
Crissy and Cushane Jamaica expensive.....Mega mart and Progressive expensive...Chiny Man cheaper
@courtney clarke ...I agree with 110%...they have to b careful not everyone that says yes we love actually mean it. I love them dearly and was happy they didnt show certain stuff on vlogs no license plate #...dont tell where they r staying none of that....AND FOR THE POP UP SHOW PLEASE GET SECURITY...the next thing in regards to Cushane's question Jamaicans typically dont go to Price Mart..maybe if u want to purchase a cake like what my husband always tell me but wholesale is where it's at....saving those coins.
I laughed when you said $15,000 max because that barely cover items for just my 2 year old weekly....nice seeing you guys here in Jamaica.
Exactly and I have a 6month old. Feeding and diapers alone is 10k. Not to mention all other necessities.
Crissy everything is expensive here.. we just have to purchase what we really need instead of what we want. Cost aliving goes up every day..and the salary aint moving...but.we have to survive.. Love you guys❤❤ enjoy your stay..
i live on minimum wage so i have to grocery shop every 2 weeks, sometimes every week. Maybe 10 -15000 a week. so i thank God my baby's father income is way more than mine.
The love from the fans/supporters is real!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
yup let you guys see wat we have to go thru with the over priced food prices here in Jamaica dem a kill we dung yah
Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇯🇲 snack alone is a arm and a leg, when I am in Jamaica I make lemonade with plenty lemon 🍋 and lime. Enjoy your vacation Chrissy and CMR 🌴☀️🌻baby OC know how fi greet her guest😀✌️
Welcome home guys. Please be careful and vigilant, remember the Jamaica you left behind is not the same Jamaica today. Love you guys
Crissy the jamaica really expensive we affi a fight fi live here glad u came an see.
Hi Mrs.Crissy ,CMR,OC everybody around the world is complaining about the grocery prices I hope y'all enjoyed yourself in Jamaica I love your braids # team Crissy, baby OC 's always telling everyone in the video hey I spend about $400 a month I live by myself but I also go to Sam's Wholesale and I use coupon save me a lots I download the Dollar General app Krogers have a app on the phone HEB have a app on the phone the Family Dollar have a app too I save at Walgreens be blessed always happy Fourth of July💛🧡🙏
Be careful in Jamaica : The Carter family.love you Guys! Please don't say where you Guys are all the time.Some people are too evny.bledsings always.
The only way you get the items cheaper is if you're an employee of that store, you get employees discounts
House hold of two we spend a maximum of $18-20 thousands a week, meat products and cleaning stuff is usually the highest , it also depends on where you shop.Wholesales cost a little less because you buy in bulk.
Even though its hard people still shop hard, also every day the fast-food places are overfull. The different class of people will have different comments. For me I buy in bulk so I don't buy the same stuff every month and my family is 3 of us. I roughly will spend $25,000 per month I eat mostly vegetables, chicken, ackee and saltfish, meat now and again. I make porridge twice a week with lasco which is better than eating 4 slices of bread for breakfast. We have to just know how to shop make use of the wholesale prices. Buy in bulk yea. I don't complain much as God is good and life CD always be worst. Everywhere in the world life is hard for some persons.
I thought I was the only person makes porridge 3 or 4 times a week with vanilla lasco😁
That's my weekly shopping for a family of 5 and sometimes more and I don't shop at Mega Mart coz the Chinese Supermarkets and wholesales are way cheaper so I shop with them and I buy my fruits, vegetables and ground provisions in the market and another thing when you're in Jamaica don't compare prices or else u will die for hungry just like when ur in the US a dollar is a dollar everywhere u go but I hope you guys enjoy ur stay here in the land of wood n water n beautiful sunshine.
When i saw the grocery i knew it would be in the 30s. Goceries are really high. OC knows how to welcome the folks. Crissy you arent a mean girl. Some would come and depend on dem barrell
Things coming like it raise every week
Well Chrissy and Cushane, yard expensive. 1 adult and 1 child (4 year old) and I try not to spend 40k for the month but I fail every time. I have to be very cognizant of what I purchase. Take out is a different amount if I want to get KFC on some Fridays and Beef patties for lunch on Saturday.
OC is so entertaining she is a happy baby very sweet and sensible lovely little soul she can certainly smile OC let every body she comes in contact with smiling away she is going to be very intelligent God bless you guys enjoy your stay
I love the interaction with your viewers. Big up!
The hand towels is pretty expensive only bought 2 for the month with household of 4. I use the soft kitchen cloths for wiping up mess that might leave on the counter so forth. Pretty much Jamaica expensive however spend wisely is what I do tax is 15% so somethimes most things are bought in linstead market or wholesale.The pineapple you could get right at bogwalk its more expensive in the supermarket. Not to mention meat Oxtail a brush nearly $2000. Hope you enjoy you all vacation 😊...started watching since year never stop from then...bless
I went to Jamaica and did the same thing, the morning after arriving in Jamaica I went to megamart just to get things for breakfast and snacks for my little girl and ended up spending over $25000. I never go back there I stick to the wholesalers were I spent half as much for twice the amount of shopping.... anyways enjoy your holiday Carter family. Love you all.
Awww ..Fulljoy your vacation guys, you all deserve it..I too like to Shop when I visit Jamaica so I understand Crissy 👍🏾 She right when she said the most important thing is eating ..Bless up unnu self ina JA..🙏🏾🆙️🆙️❤️🇯🇲
Crissy is a whole mood❤ 💙 💜 💖.
For real
Miss JA baddddd🥲😭🥹 enjoy our beautiful island!!! Nothing like home sweet home 🇯🇲
Livi sleepy ...it's nice to see how loved you guys are. CMR your doing amazing keeping up with the videos !
Welcome home to the carter family bless up
Cost of living is over high in JA and d poverty level is high. Persons who have a family to buy for goes to wholesale where you get discount for 3 or 6 items. DUTTY TOUGH
Try shopping at hilo or supper value😃 and whenever you are shopping in jamaica take a list of things that you really need then once you buy the neccessities than after you buy other thing also each brand come with different.I can tell you what fo but try buying the cheap things when are shopping or pack a barrel send it down and when you come you clear it.
MEGA MART IS VERY EXPENSIVE A REGULAR SUPERMARKET WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH CHEAPER
Exactly an will get more to
The Coffee malta is very nice...Crissy is shoping
15000 per week for a family of 4. And this doesn't include market stuff and things run out in the week. A person who is not able to work during this time its very hard to survive because this cost only includes the most important things. More time I have to be searching for the cheaper wholesalers but it still not stretching at all. Fuljoy your vacation crissy and cushane♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you're shopping in Jamaica you can't shop in one place on get good price especially megga mart with snacks you have to go to national or honey bun out let's to get the real price the whole sale is the best option for meat rice on flour not mrgga mart
Baby OC love her crocs Always enjoy watching chrissy shopping food get so expensive God help us OC is so smart I love her an Kira qin an janay #Teamchrissy #Team OC
This one is a banger you guys never disappoint your fans with great shopping keep up the good work
Mommy baby oc
The next time tries 'PRICE SMART, you will get that grocery, for less, and more grocery for that cost , just signed up for a membership card, Welcome to Jamaica.❤️❤️❤️
Chrissy Jamaica cost of living is expensive but it’s even more expensive when you go to mega mart…. They are very expensive if you had gone to a regular supermarket it would have been less expensive. My monthly shopping is like 50k per month sometimes less if I don’t have things from the previous month as it’s just me alone this includes Pricesmart/supermarket and meat shop. The amount of things you got from mega mart is not worth the amount that was spent.
That's how it is in Jamaica, the weather is wonderful but cost of living is very high. Most people don't really "go shopping" they just get the necessary. Enjoy your vacation 💥💕💯
I spent $80 a month for my food am a Jamaican but it's too much for me.you see when they ask for money in Jamaica and you sent $50 you see y they have to cuss because it's can't buy anything big up your nice clean self CMR and all so wifee and children hope you all having a fantastic one
Them lucky you can send $50 who will give it to me in the USA saying that's why them cuss! Lol 😆 A 10/15 dollar an hr A dollar is a dollar! Work hard and live! Big to crispy and family! Thanks for sharing
When i look at the grocery i could tell its between 30,000 to 35,000 that how jamaica expensive
Them give ppl something send for them better thank god for 50 times hard every where foreign countries is no joke ruff bad
@@marciahines9291 all over world expensive ruff bad
Look here you can't wait until things get expensive before you look work.From I know my self Jamaica is expensive but we have to survive by the help of the Almighty
Glad you guys are here be safe.
On the other hand 🤚 Crissy you will be giving away those things you don’t used when you leaving knowing the person you’re.
A true Chrissy.. people a suffa roun ere!!
Crssy you should ship a box with what your family needs and you would pay lesser i swear
Thats what my sister does in advance. I will be doing that as well.
Yes Crissy, JA expensive with groceries. When I visit and buy groceries at MegaMart, I spend over 70,000 in groceries for a week.
Let me share something with you Cushane and Crissy, I went to the supermarket yesterday 1.7.2022. The few things that I could afford to buy it was over $10,000 and I didn't get alot of what I need. I had to buy some in 5lbs and 2lbs, I cut down to my last straw and can't cut anymore, buy the end of the I have to be going back to het other things and even what ran out. I didn't even buy any toiletries, soap powder, meat yet and market stuff. I have a family of 4 and 3-4 times for the month I go shopping. I've never seen this kind of hardship in all my life. Some people are still getting minimum wage $9000 per week. Bills, food, household items, rent, children going to school, check that out. Guy's it's all gone, nothing is left in Jamaican.
Tia Lawrence, I would advise you to do a little farming and go to the market and sell the things on weekends
You have try hard and break the curse of poverty
Minimum wage in Jamaica is $9,000??? Dat caaan be real. What can that do? OMG.
@@englishrolle The sad reality ... survival of the fitess... that's why most people running off #smh
@@Queen5066 more like survival of the richest....
Y'all need to start farming and raise chickens etc..It helps a lot. Help start a community farming and everybody barter.
Lol😆😆Crissy and CMR Welcome to Jamaica High Cost of Living
Crissy am loving your hair 💙
A one thing inuh the carters safe a yaad everybody love dem
Okay now, let's be realistic, 35,000 Jamaican dollars is just about 200 USD. That's quite decent for the items you bought, even in USA standards. Prices have increased worldwide. Many times people visit and when the go to purchase items, the first thing they do is complain. Prices in the USA will be lower in some instances because of economies of scale, high import taxes and transportation cost incurred by business owners in countries like Jamaica. In my opinion, absolutely nothing is wrong with the cost of those items.
Call it 240 usd
At $155 to $1us what else we expect 🤫
Thank you!!!! I wish i could like u post a million times.
My point exactly plus that's a whole lot of stuff American supermarket is not better bin there
I just about to ask how much 1US is to Jamaica dollars.
So true my friend they had to be careful put god first
How family really cope, that’s is outrageous, God help….
Everyday single week tears come in my eyes when mi guh supermarket.
@@iamyan748 So outrageous & sad.
Jamaica well high! Don’t know how ppl made it here. Been here for a week and mi a feel the pressure.
For two adults it can be anywhere from $50,000 to $70,000 per month. Things like juice, bread and etc will run out weekly. Yes it is hard to live here hence people are running even the patriotic ones. Despite how hard you work you still can't see your way. I am a teacher and it's alot for me. That aside guys welcome hoem to you all including Janice and your little cousin and enjoy your return home. Trust Quin had a splendid birthday and all the best for the Pop Up Shop. From St. Thomas Jamaica... It's all to you Carter Fam.
People don’t mix drinks anymore. Don’t need to buy all these juices. Lime/lemon sour orange, sugar and water.
Na live within them means 2 adults alone shouldn't be paying such for food.jamaica full a too much vegetable and fruits..ppl buy unnecessary stuff wey full a sickness.
@@camrock6478 extra but everyone waah live like ppl inna farrin...thats why obesity and sickness so high in Jamaica nowadays
@@camrock6478 fruits and vegetables are still are still expensive nevertheless and you never know what a person's story is or their situation. Where they are situated plays a role in this too. But have you gone to the market recently?
Plus she just bought a few items and that was $35,000 where was the shopping like she was rich in that? Y'all are so quick to judge people Y'all don't even know it's appalling.
@@tastesweet9027 you speak ignorantly. Firstly cost of living varies in Jamaica based on where you live. I can assure you that even the cost of snacks will be different at different places in the one parish. Additionally it's funny to see the people who are maybe talking about living within their means. What do you do for a living? I ask because I am not a flamboyant person, I have never partied, don't shop and all that so I live within my means but the question was whether or not food is expensive and it is. If you don't know it is maybe your means is above the average person's own or you are clearly not the one spending so you just talk freely from an uninformed place.
Me glad unuh see when unuh come here how things expensive n when d likkle man send n feel it fi serve n stretch all stitch u stich up d money fi stretch it . Memba me tell u it rufffff but girl me buy 3 nah buy a whole case a paper towel
16:55 welcome back to Jamaica hon … the struggle is real , I only shop for myself and my husband and I can only afford to pay a little over $30k per month and the stuff doesn’t even last for the entire month … it rough bad … sometimes am glad we don’t have kids yet cause hungry woulda kill me and him 😢
Start buy cases start little so me dweet an see it better that way me start of by 2 case a water,juice,even kool aid by box you will see it last longer every month by 2 case water you will see by 3 months you no affi spend 30 cause a lot of stuff will still be their
but when u av kids it's going to be worst cus things going up everyday not to mention pampers so if unnu plan fi still av kids it better unnu start now cus a worst it a get not better
When Chrissy say 15,000 max me laugh 😂😂😂😂 No Chrissy outa ya expensive baaaddd😂😂😂😂
