City Cost Observations

For Grocery Shopping: The prices vary slightly depending on where you shop. If you go to a supermarket (e.g., Carrefour), you often get a wider choice and the groceries are cheaper. Many people go to the small shops that are open until midnight for their shopping, but these shops are extremely expensive. Most supermarkets also sell products under their own brand name which are nearly 90% of the time cheaper than their branded counterparts. Quality is nearly the same too.
