Monthly shopping bill

Hi,

My wife and I will be moving to Dakar in June and would like to know what we should expect to budget for MONTHLY food bills.

We eat modestly (no steaks or caviar), do not drink alcohol, eat out at restaurant's or smoke cigarettes; however, we do like shop at European style supermarkets whenever possible.

Perhaps a rough estimate in USD$ for shopping locally and one for the more expensive supermarkets in Dakar would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Brian
