Re: Current "Benchmark" prices in Negril
Negril is still affordable, but you definitely need to do some homework on the prices if that is important. When I am by myself, I can get by for 30-50$ a day. Complimentary breakfast at hotel, 5$ app at firefly, slug some 3$ beers and find an evening meal for 15-20$...Why am I not living there? lol
Re: Current "Benchmark" prices in Negril
I wonder if prices have increased due to cost increases post Hurricane Melissa. Economics 101 supply and demand. If supply chain has slowed and/or decreased, it likely costs more to be delivered. Prices have to follow to keep profit margins. I have no proof that this is happening. It's just a thought.
Re: Current "Benchmark" prices in Negril
I only had a couple of photos from October (just before the hurricane) to show...but the cost of groceries is astounding.
They're a bit cheaper from the farmers but...take a look...
The lettuce sat flat in my palm...
