A Basket of Groceries

So what do you think a small basket of groceries would cost? We indulged a little and bought some cheese, nuts and snacks together with a few necessities like tomatoes, cucumbers, baguettes, mayonnaise and chocolate (I have come to learn from Anna that chocolate is a necessity not a luxury), and after double checking our exchange rate realized we had spent just over a hundred dollars.

I guess that is the cost of being on an island literally in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I heard another cruiser say this is the farthest we can be from any continent in the world. So it is not surprising these small luxuries come at a premium.

Two hamburgers with fries and a coke - $33.00
Basket of groceries - $104.00
