11,000 colones (Costa Rican currency) or about $22.00
Congratulations, Rachel! Your guess of $17.50 wins you some Costa Rican coffee (are you drinking it now that you are a mommy?)
Some things are surprisingly expensive here in Costa Rica, and then others are amazingly cheap! Toys, electronics, and anything from the US is over-the-top expensive. Thank you to many of you for sending us some great things from the US! We have really enjoyed getting little surprises every now and then from home.
We have found several Costa Rican brands that we really like!
These are some of my favorites:
CR coffee, Chiky galletas (yummy cookies with chocolate on one side), Guisantes petit pois (yummy peas), Jack's snacks (funny name for a snack company in Costa Rica- but they have the best junk/snack food for great prices!), and Lizano Salsa (Ticos add it to many of their traditional dishes).
Yay!! I am super excited- I love all of the caffeine I can get these days:) I can't wait to see pictures from Lee!
