How Much did I Pay for my Groceries in Costa Rica? Episode 2: Automercado

Welcome to the second video of our series documenting the cost of our groceries in June 2024 while living in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica!
Today I'm sharing a few items I purchased at the Automercado. It's the fancy store that's not the most economical, but there are a few items we buy here because they can't be found elsewhere.
Thanks for watching - we would love to hear from you in the comments your grocery experience in Costa Rica!

Good morning! Like your videos. I’m Costa Rican living in London, UK. Still manage to spend time in CR. One of the “shocks” expats get when moving to CR is the high price of groceries (even at Walmart). It’s good that at least there is a source of information that people can check. I hope that you have time to also include your experience with electricity (ICE), phone companies and different suppliers. It will help many potential expats!! You should try including El Pequeño Mundo in your shopping experience. They have changed strategies and are now competing with PriceSmart. Lot’s of European and American food products. I don’t know if any gluten free.

What a great resource this channel is! I just recently found you guys and have watched a bunch of videos. I’m seriously considering moving my family to CR. But I’m having trouble figuring out the visa situation and working as an expat. The strict homeschool requirements also worries me a bit as we homeschool our children. We have so many questions as we try to make this big decision.

I'm so glad our channel has been helpful to you! This is the reason we decided to create it 😄What country are you all coming from? Also, we have been homeschooling for 3.5 years and really it's not as big of a deal as many make it out to be. I have Costa Rican resident friends whose children were born here, and they homeschool. There's some paperwork etc that needs to be done but it's possible absolutely! For us, we are here on a tourist visa (legally) and there has been no trouble with us homeschooling our 3 children.

@@thejoyfuljohnsons We would be coming from the states. I’m so glad to hear that the homeschooling isn’t as big of a deal as it’s made to be. We were beginning to think it wasn’t going to work out bc of that. The next thing to figure out would be work. From the research I’ve done, it is difficult for a foreigner to find jobs in CR. That’s so cool that you and husband both teach and are able to create such a nice life there.

Great video! One of my daughters has celiac. Do you guys ever eat out? How confident are you that your food is gluten-free?

There are a handful of restaurants that we trust to eat at who understand what contains gluten. A lot of the local soda restaurants use seasonings and sauces that contain gluten, but they don't realize it. My 2 favorites are Shaka Food in Tamarindo and Mundo Milo in Junquillal (for avoiding gluten!)
