Hello, that type of milk which is kept outside the refrigerator is even more pasteurized than milk that is preserved cold. Bravo supermarkets have cold-preserved milk like the USA and also in Bravo supermarket they make some dairy products such as two types of fresh cheeses, yogurt, and ricotta.
@@chulo201 I’ll have to check that place out, I’ve never been there! I now make my own “oat milk” but I do still buy cheese. Thanks for watching and for your comments!
I agree! There are some locals with some money it appears but for most locals it seems like it’s a LOT of rice and bean, plantains, and some type of potatoes. Those are very budget friendly and filling foods here.
@@coconutjo9780 I spent a lot of money in the grocery store but I was shopping like an American. 🤣 I guess eating rice, beans and plantains everyday my bill would look much different.
I’ve never used dollars at any of the big stores but I have used an American C Card. I’m sure they will but it’s better to use pesos or a Dominican C Card.
The fruit you don't know the name, We Dominicans call it Lechoza, But others Latin America countries call it Papaya. I think Papaya is the dictionary name. In America is also called Papaya. We Dominicans have a very unique slang Spanish, For example, Passion Fruit is called Maracuya in every Latin American country, But we call it *Chinola* 😂😂.

Some of those prices are higher than in California. Wow how to do the locals survive?

Imported products will cost twice as much. An avocado in the United States costs $5 here in DR. I buy it for pennies.
@@JuniorRD1994klkNot for pennies!
@@JuniorRD1994klk in the grocery store? I didn’t see a huge difference in things like meat, bacon, eggs, etc. but I was shopping like an American.

Do the accept American dollars
I’ve never used dollars at any of the big stores but I have used an American C Card. I’m sure they will but it’s better to use pesos or a Dominican C Card.
@@coconutjo9780 I’m debating should I spend $200 American dollars to switch to Dominican pesos or more
Change to dominican money is cheap bueno in pesos
What area of dr is this
We were in La Romana but the prices are similar in all of the more populated areas and major stores. Thanks
What is coconut price😊
Around $1.50 if you buy from a street vendor, but more on the beach.
Hey, just wondering where can we buy Heavy Cream (18%) near Barcelo Hotel? thx
I’ve never bought or looked for that but I would assume Nacional Supermarket and possibly Jumbo.
Was that groceries for 1 or 2 people?
For 2. We spent around $130 that trip on our groceries and a few household supplies.
@@coconutjo9780 that’s not bad it looks like a lot

Thank you and the slang is real!! 😆
Some of the vegetables in the store look like American stuff so local would probably be better
I agree but I believe most of the fruits and veggies in the video are grown in the country. I know the apples and oranges are not.
@@coconutjo9780 thank you, it’s like that in jamaica 🇯🇲
@@Worldtraveler655 that’s cool, I’ve never been, hopefully I’ll make it one day.
@@coconutjo9780 it’s beautiful
