Shopping in Belize

I live in the Cayo District, so every Saturday we head to Three Flags grocery store, which has very cheap grocery prices (about $75-100 USD a week for two people eating very well, household products and one bottle of wine).  We get everything there except for our produce and fish, which we buy at the market.  One nice thing about San Ignacio's market is it is you can find vendors there every day of the week, but the main day is Saturday.  I know in Belmopan the market is only open on Tuesday and Friday, so that difference can be quite convenient at times.

When I first moved to Cayo I had to furnish an entire rental home.  I went to the Hindu stores on Burns Avenue and compared prices.  Most were with in $5-10 of each other, but that is where I got all of my appliances, furniture, kitchen goods, etc.  A&R has some nice plates, pots &pans, etc., and they're located through out Belize.  I buy all of my makeup/hair products at ERA Plaza in Santa Elena.  Clothing I also get on Burns Avenue, the market or around town - love the jeans, tops, shoes & bras - really cute clothes here, better than on the island (San Pedro) since I used to live there.

Hope this has been helpful!
