I love the farmers’ markets where I have shopped; San Ramon, Atenas and Palmares. The little grocery stores that are everywhere carry some basics and usually little to no American processed food, the very stuff we should avoid in any case.
I never pay too much attention to food prices. I have to assume that Ticos are able to afford the cost of food and I know that their incomes are far below those of the US and Canada. And I strongly suspect the Costa Rican diet is healthier at a much lower cost than what most of us have been used to in the States.
