Hello to this beautiful community, I hope you are richly blessed. This challenge although it is a little difficult hehe something like a challenge, at least in my country Venezuela haha, but I like it. I will try to narrate how are the grocery shopping of groceries, fruits and meats among other items that although it is true that are not included here are important in the home. As is the daily life of a housewife in this case like me, because there are men who also have to do their market I imagine not to spend much haha.
Les cuento que mi hermoso país ha pasado por etapas difíciles en cuanto a economía se refiere, hubo un tiempo que ni alimentos teníamos en los mercados, había que hacer cola para adquirirlos y solo te vendían un solo producto, eso fue cambiando poco a poco, pero fue desesperante para muchos hogares venezolanos. Hoy en día ya podemos adquirirlos solo que la inflación se absorbe nuestros salarios, pero aun así Dios siempre ha sido bueno y siempre nos ha provisto.
I tell you that my beautiful country has gone through difficult times in terms of economy, there was a time when we did not even have food in the markets, we had to queue to buy them and they only sold you one product, that was changing little by little, but it was desperate for many Venezuelan households. Today we can acquire them, but inflation is absorbing our salaries, but even so God has always been good and has always provided for us.
Como ama de casa me sale comprar los alimentos, la canasta básica en mi país oscila entre 100 a 200 dolares aproximadamente mensual por familia, así que toca hacer milagros con el dinero. Los productos tienen diferentes precios en los locales, los mercados que venden todos los productos son mucho mas costosos y me corresponde comprar en lo que llamamos acá buhoneros, que son pequeños puestos en las avenidas autorizados para tal fin, ellos venden mas económicos en el caso de verduras y frutas.
As a housewife I have to buy food, the basic food basket in my country ranges between 100 to 200 dollars per month approximately per family, so I have to make miracles with the money. The products have different prices in the stores, the markets that sell all the products are much more expensive and I have to buy in what we call here "buhoneros", which are small stalls in the avenues authorized for that purpose, they sell cheaper in the case of vegetables and fruits.
Mi gasto mensual oscila entre 100 a 250 dolares mensuales para cubrir toda la cesta básica alimentaria por lo que también busco ofertas de alimentos, osea sale caminar de mercado en mercado buscando mejor y calidad del producto, ya que el salario no alcanza para cubrir todas las necesidades básicas de una familia y la mía esta compuesta por tres personas.
My monthly expenditure ranges between 100 to 250 dollars a month to cover the entire basic food basket so I also look for food offers, that is, I walk from market to market looking for better and quality products, since the salary is not enough to cover all the basic needs of a family and mine is composed of three people.
Como les dije actualmente no es fácil en nuestro país para una familia vivir del salario, debes tener otras entradas para lograrlo. Precisamente salí con mi hijo a realizar algunas compras necesarias para mi casa y les muestro la factura para que tengan una idea de cuanto se gasta en comestible acá en mi país. Una factura de 254.26 bolívares soberanos que es nuestra moneda, al cambio en dolares americanos equivale a 29.36 dolares, sin incluir proteínas que serian las carnes, huevos, pollo y verduras.
As I told you it is not easy in our country for a family to live on a salary, you must have other income to make it. I just went out with my son to make some necessary purchases for my house and I show you the bill so you have an idea of how much is spent on groceries here in my country. A bill of 254.26 bolivars, which is our currency, at the exchange rate in American dollars is equivalent to 29.36 dollars, not including proteins which would be meats, eggs, chicken and vegetables.
Pero igual como dije este desafío es barbaro jeje pero con Dios todo se puede. Las compras en mi país son un gran desafío jeje. Confiamos como dice la Biblia: "Joven fui, y he envejecido, Y no he visto justo desamparado, Ni su descendencia que mendigue pan" Salmos 37:25.
But still as I said this challenge is great hehe but with God everything is possible. Shopping in my country is a big challenge hehe. We trust as the Bible says: **"I was young, and am old, And have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread" Psalms 37:25
...Yo así lo creo. Espero les guste mi publicación.
Bendiciones para todos
