Indonesia Travel Costs: How Jakarta Prices Drained My Wallet!

This place is not just a haven for delicious food and breathtaking scenery; it’s also notorious for its sky-high prices that can leave your wallet feeling a bit lighter than you’d like.

Let’s take a closer look at the local supermarket:
– A single head of cabbage will set you back 15 RMB.
– A small bunch of cherry tomatoes costs a whopping 12 RMB.
– Three eggplants come with a price tag of 15 RMB.
– Imported domestic canned mixed grains are priced at 27 RMB.
– Even imported domestic instant spicy noodle skins cost 14 RMB.

– The popular Haidilao hot pot base is a steep 28 RMB.
– A jar of imported domestic broad bean paste is also 28 RMB.
– A simple block of tofu costs 12 RMB.
– And three tiny cucumbers will still cost you 5 RMB.

I’m curious to hear from those of you living in Jakarta 😕, how do you generally cope with these prices? Where do you usually shop to find more affordable vegetables and fruits? 😘😘
