Watch my Peru scams video here!    • TOURIST TRAPS AND SCAMS IN PERU - LIM...  

The average American spends about $20 on food everyday. But I noticed that food is much cheaper here in Lima, Peru! How much food can I get with the $20 I would spend in a day in The USA?

    And you went to the fancy supermarket. Depending on where you go that same amount of money could've bought even more items.

    Con 20 dólares aquí en Perú hago las compras para una semana y media en un mercado común.

    Peru is not only economic but the food taste and quality is even better than many European nations. I was super impressed when I was in Lima

    You went to probably the least eco-friendly supermarket in Lima... and definitely the most expensive one.

    In Peru is very usual find organic food, If you live in Miraflores, San Isidro or Barranco you can go to "" Parque de la Reserva "" on sunday ( it is in Miraflores) or you can go to "" Mercado Nro 1 de Surquillo "" on Saturday. In both places you can find organic foods

    Vivanda is a high cost supermarket. Yu can buy all that for 5 us$ in any other market.
  • @juan129490
    Next time u buy food in Lima don't do it on Vivanda, it's the most expensive supermarket here. Try going to Metro or Plaza Vea wich are also supermarkets with less prices and quality of the food is good also Great video😁
  • @julio9708
    Next you should try going to a real market and see how much food you can actually buy in Lima
  • You purchased these items in an expensive supermarket (Vivanda), and also, in an expensive neighboor (Miraflores). wWth the same $20 bucks you could have purchased a lot more just 5 minutes from there, in Surquillo, in the "Mercado" and way more fresh, nothing is packaged or wrapped, in the mercados almost everything is fresh, from the same day, and most Mercados have small restaurants, with 8 soles ($2.5 dollars) you can an amazing lunch, soup, main course, and a glas of pasion fruit juice. When you go to Lima visit the mercados, just don't bring expensive items with you, because are "popular places" but have the best foods.

    Hi Nicki... love your vlog episodes about Peru. Indeed food is really cheap over there. Even buying already prepared food from eateries is way much cheaper than cooking yourself at home. Really convenient for someone that is visiting. But locals visit other type of places where food is even cheaper than what you can imagine. Places call 'mercaditos' which are staples of how Peruvians actually shop, sort of Farmer's markets. Without going that much far from where you are staying you should try to vist the Surquillo Mercados 1 and 2.... they both specialize on different things. One has fresh fruits and produce and the other a whole bunch of food kiosks where food is delicious and cheap. All of these without having to leave to other parts of the city and considering how big and diverse Lima is. (Hey ....then again maybe you already knew this). Greetings from California!

    there was a program show named ''20 lucas'' and you can buy and cook tasty plates with that. (20 lucas = USS 6.00 aprox), you can search for that,. anyway there're more supers with cheapest prices of course depending of your local area.
  • good! very informative... although there are other markets where you can get prices a little lower, for service and quality I like Vivanda...
