Monthly cost of food in BELIZE IN 2024: Another reason why we left the US for Central America!!!

this video details the cost of one months food for 2 people in Belize Central America. This is yet another reason why we decided to leave the US for greener pastures. The cost of food in central America is what it once was in America 25 years ago.

I get that same price at Harvey's, Aldi's and Save-A-Lot in Jacksonville Florida. These places have not raised their price a whole lot since the pandemic. I quit going to Publix and even Walmart prices went up quite a bit.

Thanks for watching the video...

We live on the island, San Pedro, and the food is quite a bit more expensive.

[@WhereToNexxt]

I'm sure it is. It was really expensive and low quality when we lived in Placencia when we moved to Cayo prices, options and quality got better but for somethings we found it's better to get from Spanish Lookout when we go up there

I moved to Belize in November 2023... and I agree with the food prices... I bought 7.5 acres and I'm slowly putting everything together also... I just finished a house build and I plan to get chickens and start my fruits and veggies garden plans.... So far I'm loving the place... We chose to live in the Corozal area... We got tired of the US and called it quits...

[@WhereToNexxt]

Beautiful area up there. Sounds like things are coming together for you. We love it also, we never want to return to the states. If your ever around Belmopan let us know and we can show you our little farm here. Thankyou for watching and commenting. Many blessings.

How much is land going for in the Corozal Area? Looking for 10 acres

[@WhereToNexxt]

@@UrCho1ce not really sure about the acreage in Corozal but we have seen 10 acres going for 30 to 40k US depending where it is. I would search the buy and sell FB pages in Belize to start. Try Belmopan buy and sell and start looking it should give you an idea. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😁

[@UrCho1ce]

@@WhereToNexxt thanks for sharing, your content and communication is appreciated

[@vironnie]

I bought 8 acres for 40k USD... However I know there are a few 20 acres lots going right now for about 90k .... It always depends on the area ...plus some you can find being sold by the owner for less... But there are plenty of great properties out there... It all depends on where you want to be and what you like... The best thing to do is come see the area and see for yourself... I made 4 trips to Belize and stayed in 7 different cities before I'm made my decision... I went north to south, and east and west....

Thanks guy, Great video to share back home with my friends. I'm in Santa Elena, Cayo . Day 263. lovin it here. So affordable. So friendly here. Stay safe and away from the fires. Rainy seasons here. Thank god.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Hi, we are starting our 3rd year. Belize is a great place to be. It takes a certain kind of person to let go of things and fit in here so if you have made it 6 months you are one of those people..... Yes the rains have begun and our cisterns are full... Thanks for watching and leaving a comment...

[@SegantPhilippaGraham]

I know exactly what you mean. Belize is my birth home, and i am ready to come home. just purchase land and working on building. I love to see what you are doing. and love it that you made the trip. don't know if i would be brave enough to drive through Mexico though.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Mexico was a great drive, we have driven twice back into Mexico since living here. Not as scarry as I imagined really. Thanks for watching and blessed travels to you.

[@vironnie]

Sounds good, we sure will... Before we made our decision on Corozal we visited all the major cities in Belize, including Belmopan which we loved also... We really enjoy all the fresh veggies and fresh fish at a very low price... Well stay blessed to you as well

[@WhereToNexxt]

We did the same, search all over before deciding on Cayo. Thanks for watching

[@LivingFreelee]

I used to spend $600+ a month for groceries for myself. I just recently had to cut back on spending. It's no fun grocery shopping these days.

[@WhereToNexxt]

No it's not and just keeps getting worse

[@vironnie]

Will do

[@MrCybernick]

Thank you ..

[@thewatsons6112]

All of your videos on the current states of Belize and America have been very informal. Your home buying story back in 2019 and how that whole thing played out was amazing to hear about. What a blessing. Please keep up the great content. Thank you for sharing.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching our videos.

[@GoatRoper911]

Not much difference from HEB and the quality is MUCH better at HEB. Tell us about real estate prices and if prime steaks are available.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Prices are better than in most countries but are definitely rising quickly. There are good quality Butchers here you can ask them for any cut you want

[@bhumvw]

That's right there is a huge saving. The meat alone would be over $150 CAD for me. I didn't think there would be as much packaging for the food, What do you do with package wast and recycling?

[@WhereToNexxt]

Hi, we take our garbage and waste to the transfer station once a week on our way into town. It doesn't cost us anything. Great point though, lots of litter in Belize😥 Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Hyperion_Dark]

dont consume seed/vegetable oils, my guy. Worst thing you can do. Stick to lard/butter/tallow/olive oil.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Thanks for watching...

[@leadershiphelpdesk510]

Don't forget $1500 bz for beer, rum, and water.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Lol, you are right about that.... get shell shock at liquor prices here.... thanks for watching.... great comment...😁😁🤣🤣

[@leadershiphelpdesk510]

@@WhereToNexxt Where are you? Cayo here.

[@WhereToNexxt]

@@leadershiphelpdesk510 Cayo, just outside of Belmopan on the Hummingbird highway. 😁

[@lightshine6851]

We can easily spend 500 bucks on food for the month for 2 and we aren't buying any high end products.

[@SegantPhilippaGraham]

if i can suggest something, the Mennonites grow amazing non GMO peanuts. you can make your own peanut butter

[@WhereToNexxt]

Really will have to look into that been looking for a good source of peanuts the bags at the store we've seen are just way too expensive

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

That's the way it should be in the States... I'm dreaming of better days gone by

[@WhereToNexxt]

Those days are long gone I'm afraid... Thanks for watching...

[@richrocks1516]

With the vegetables you got it looks like you could whip up a badass homemade spaghetti sauce.

[@WhereToNexxt]

Love making spaghetti. Thanks for watching.

[@Cwra1smith]

I wouldn't live anyplace just for the food prices. How does one make money there?

[@WhereToNexxt]

Of course not. everyone is different some are retired, some are digital nomads or even have a craft or a skill they can live off of

[@GBLahLah]

Belize is not worth the cost compared to other Central American countries

[@WhereToNexxt]

Yes it is still expensive for CA and the cost is rising. Thanks for watching.
