    [quote=”davidd”][quote=”VictoriaLST”]I hate $16 chickens, so we are raising our own. Farmer’s markets for fruits and veggies until I get my own started, a slow process since i have back trouble but coming along. I really want a couple of pigs and i have room for a vaca or two.

    I love CR.[/quote]

    $16 chickens???? I buy roasted chickens fully cooked for $$8 pricemart???[/quote]

    In Tilaran everything is more expensive than in the Central Valley (I see the adds in La Nacion). In Tilaran a whole raw chicken is 4 $ per kilo, so the whole thing may cost you 8 $. In order to get it on the table you have to add spices, water, electricity, kitchen equipment depreciation, and your time.
    I have been reading that the average income per head in C.R. is around 1000 $. There are many that do not make half of that, so it is like everywere, a small number of people take the big piece of the cake.
