How much does food cost in Placencia, Belize?

The supermarket here in Placencia has about 5 aisles. Different aisles would have bathroom stuff, body care products, basic canned foods, frozen food and vegetables and fruits. It’s just smaller than the regular supermarket that you would be accustomed to in the US, but...

There are about 12 or 13 grocery stores in Placencia, but they are not very large and do not carry any produce. You can get produce at the local two or three produce vendors who bring their produce in every other day on a truck. The produce is grown somewhere else in Belize. The produce vendors set up everything on the side of the road. They sell tomatoes, bananas, and everything you would want. A dozen bananas would be about US 50 cents and pineapple...

The produce vendors have a little 20 foot by 10 foot wooden stores on the sides of the street that they rent out. You can just pull your car over on the side of the street and get out and tell them you need a pound of bananas and two pounds of potatoes. They have meat and cheese, too.
