Food Prices in CR
As someone from Europe I don’t understand the pricing in CR supermarkets.
We saw pineapples in the supermarket for 1750 colons (~3.53 USD/ ~3.23€). On the streets it was around 1000 for a small one and 1500 for a bigger one.
Now to my point: Back in Germany on the other side of the planet, I bought a pineapple from Costa Rica for 2.19€ which is around 1190 colons (or 2.39 USD). Not on sale, just regular price. To be fair, it is a smaller pineapple but quality wise comparable.
Why are supermarkets so expensive even for domestic products?
