    Living in America and spending $US makes these prices look exceptional, but when your earning a $JMD salary, you have a different prospective.

    I love to see the fresh local produce. There's is no way things should be imported to Jamaica, there's sunshine, water and more land than anything. I feel sad, when I was growing up there was no such thing as import. There seems to be a lack of willingness to work. Bwoy mi coulda eat two a di patty deh doe my laawd!!!!!😭😭😭

  • @karenr3355
    @karenr3355 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The prices back then I assume where affected by the heavy rains and as the young lady said, much was imported. Other than the yam and lemon don't see no fruit or potato.
    BTW, don't buy so much lettuce if you not planning to eating it all within 10 days and things like yam (peel); onion, sweet pepper (wash and cut into large diced pieces), if you not going to eat it all within a week, and can be frozen; garlic can be peeled and stored in glass jar with oil
    Since I cook only for me, in the past a lot of things would spoil as i never cooked everyday, along the way I found ways to help preserve some food items

    If I lived in Kingston, I'd make the time to go to Coronation market because the supermarkets are super expensive when it comes to selling these items. When I lived in kgn that's exactly what I used to do even when my friends and colleagues frowned at the practice.

      Me too,I was born in Kingston and don't know kingston,all I know in Kingston is the Pegasus hotel and Rosemary lane and thats it,when I had to go to immigration a few times,the lines were so long,I couldn't do the lines,so I gave the security guard on thousand Jamaican to help me and my paper work and he took me right to the immigration officer
      At the time I didn't realize I was briding a government official so please don't do what I did
      I can look at someone and tell they are struggling really bad and it compels me to help them and I saw that on the security guard that he was struggling and if I help him he would help me and I gave him more each time I came back

      That should be one of the easiest things to do, mingle & socialize w/o feeling superior & looking at people as if they are subservient & don't deserve love, kindness & respect. Its so much easier to lay a hand on someone with a gentle touch & a kind spoken word than to punch a person in the face or cursing & swearing at them. Too much energy is expended with negative energy/actions I personally try to avoid confrontations.✌🏾♥️🙏🏾 fam...

    I stay in JA a couple months throughout the year. I just returned from a three month stay. Prices in December was so crazy. As Americans we are like wow $5000JMD/$35USD gets you all of that. We must understand that there are a lot of people who are still not working due to Covid. I personally know people who received only $4000 for the entire month since the start of this pandemic.
    With that said, realistically veg(seasonings) tend to be cheap in JA especially if you are buying directly from the farmer. However, when it comes to purchasing things like cooking oil the prices are ridiculous. Household items tend to be super high as well because they are mostly imported.
    Great job Rochielin! I love going to the market in Falmouth and just stopping at various farms in top Trelawney. There is also a lady who sells veg in the parking lot of L&M meats in Salem along the main road just outside Royal Decameron who has really great prices.

    Lovely to see you ladies as always.Great that you are promoting the market.I love markets everywhere.When I get home from the U K I enjoy this as its a good way of meeting the people who are the backbone of our island.It amazes me at times when I listen to peoe who turn their noses up at such activities and would then go to the supermarkets to shop for their staples.These are some of hte same peoplr who complain about poverty at home yet refuse to support the local farmers.There is no way that supermarket products can comptete with the freshness and vibrancy of the market.We need to get our priorities right.I know that its not always possible to go to the local markets but we should slways try to make the effort.Keep well and safe ladies.Love from the UK.

      Trust me, Latocha, buying produce at 'Curry' is a guarantee that you are getting fresh stuff at low prices. Buying the same produce in a supermarket is a guarantee that they may have been sitting on the shelves for days and the price is high. I would NEVER be seen buying farm produce in a supermarket, the market IS the place to be. Furthermore, it's always refreshing to interact with the farmers and vendors there. You learn a lot from them.

    Thanks for sharing! I literally just spent $35 at the grocery store here in the States (and this is one of the lower-priced markets with a discount cart. I STILL did not have anywhere near as much produce/food as you bought. I got a 1/4 pound of chop meat, one small box of lettuce, one cucumber, 2 small cups of yogurt, one pack of wraps, 1/4 pound of lunch meat, a jar of mayo, a pack of seasoning and two piece of garlic. That's IT. $35 finished, even WITH the discount card. I miss Jamaica so much man!
