Cost of living in Barbados
Hi Dublindel and welcome to Expat.com!
Hope that you'll soon get replies.

Hey Dublin, are you a pilot? I have applied for a position there as a pilot and am trying to figure out if the pay would be enough to get by on and save a little as well. Best of luck to you.
Hi there,
yes 4000Usd should be enough. The average of barbadians earn as much as I know about 1000 to 1500 Usd a month.
I am not living there yet. So i hope someone who lives there can answer you the other questions.
the bus is 2 bbd to every where.
food is expensive, supermarket is for me 300bbd a week minimum. orange juice, milk and so on is expensive as well. rum is cheaper than cheese lol
mobile is cheap, comparing it to germany.
the landline is a monthly fee, I think 100 bbd (not 100% sure) and then it is free from landline to landline, like a flat rate
the house prices are expensive too, especially renting. (Barbados is expensive in general but worth it!)
I am not drinking beer so I do not know exactly, I think banks beer was 4bbd. barbadians do not drink much coffee so it is a little more expensive.
energy prices are ok comparing it to the us or europe. gasoline is but I cannot exactly tell how much.
i hope i was able to help at least a bit.

Hello vic2mine,
This thread has been inactive since 2013, I suggest you create a new one in the Barbados forum to have more interactions.
Thank you,
