Grocery shopping..

The other day, I went grocery shopping with my new host mom. We went to one of the stores that has some American products. I was surprised at the prices of some of these products. See if you can guess the prices of these...

Let me give you some time to think about this while I give you some thinking music...

(hum to the tune of the jeopary theme song...)

da da da da da da da, da da da da DA da da da da, da da da da da da da, da da dum di da da dum dum dum

I was surprised to see some of these items in the store in the first place, but they were there amongst the various Venezuelan grocery items, some I recognized, some I didn't. Anyway, here are the prices of those items, roughly translated from the Venezuelan currency...

Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing (and other salad dressings)- $6 for a small bottle

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese- $6

Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter 12 oz jar- $13

Motts Apple Juice 32 oz bottle- $15

Needless to say, I think I will be sticking with some of my favorite Venezuelan foods for the time being.
