Cost of living in placencia village is very high food will brake your bank account

Ive been living here for 7 months and about ready to leave it’s rediculus

Placencia Village is one of the more expensive destinations in Belize, but your food costs don't have to break the bank. By shopping strategically at local markets and eating street food, you can significantly lower your expenses compared to relying entirely on tourist-heavy restaurants and imported goods.

Do you eat out alot? If you cook and buy food from local market, no import food, should be OK.

Maybe you could shot me some ideas or recipes

I eat a lot of local foods and cook a lot at home
