I am honestly shocked by how close the prices were. However, I live in Santa Ana which is right next to Escazu. Perhaps the prices are just inflated here because there are lots of expats in the area. I primarily shop at Max x Menos. There is a Mega Super that is closer to me, but the variety is not the best and it is always pretty warm and not well lit. Additionally, the stuff I would want is basically the same price as the Mas x Menos, so I might as well go there for a nicer experience - even though the store is smaller. In my experience, it is never worth shopping at Automercado unless you are looking for something specific from the US and you don't mind paying for it. Otherwise, the prices are just too high. My best example of this is butter. The regular butter that they have here in CR doesn't taste like what you get in the states. For me it is fine for cooking, but if I just want butter straight up on a bagel, I don't prefer it. Another thing that we buy at Automercado is certain kinds of sliced cheese that we just can't find anywhere else. Other than that, we don't go to Automercado and really we are only going there if we are passing buy and then we stock up on butter and cheese. 😄

@SwannJunction 3 ай бұрын
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I agree, Auto Mercado is where you would most likely find a very specific brand of a product that you may have enjoyed in the US and/or Canada as they tend to cater to those markets. That also comes with larger a price tag, though.

This is an amazingly helpful video. We are in the planning stages of our move to Costa Rica and COL is obviously something on our mind. I took your list and ran it through my Kroger application and came out with a cost of $81.73 after taxes. This definitely helps with budget planning when deciding if the move is right for you. Great Video and you have a new subscriber.
