Many of you might have asked yourself how do Dominicans make ends meet in NYC or anywhere else in the US. Well, let me tell you by eating platanos, yuca, eggs, rice and drinking malta, you save a lot. For instance, you can purchase,
-10 platanos for $1, (sometimes there are grand opening special for 15 to 25 platanos for dollar.) that is food for ten people. This price is even cheaper than in the DR.
-3 lbs of yuca for $1.
-1 dz egg for $1. It goes with the platanos and yuca.
-1 gallon of corn oil (Mazola or Wesson) $2.99 with a purchase of $30 to $50 worth of groceries.
-20 lbs of fancy long grained rice (Carolina or Canilla) $2.99 with a purchase of $30 to $50 worth of groceries.
-Malta (Vitarroz or Goya) 4/$1.
-Guandules en latas 2 to 3 for $1. Same with a 1 lb of dry red beans.
There are others items in the Dominican staple that is dirt cheap in a Dominican centralized area of the US.
