Grande Baie - Post Report Question and Answers
How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
The ingredients for just about anything you would make as an American is EXTREMELY expensive here. If you eat like a Mauritian, you can eat very cheaply.... it's a good idea, for a family member with the time and will, to take some cooking lessons from a maid/cook to make local dishes. Eating from sit-down restaurants can be pricey so expect to pay what you would in the U.S. if not more. If you go to a food stand on the road you can get excellent (albeit VERY unhealthy), very cheap food. - Aug 2008
