A soda is like $1.25 here in the United States, what are the average prices of things such as sodas, chips,etc

Question

Im going to DR and I will be shopping there, and was wondering what the price of day to day products are there. Example, how much is a soda, a beer, water, chips, a cab ride, etc

Answer 1

Happy Feet is right about the prices....I would just add a couple of tidbits to his answer.  

Soda prices depend on what type of bottle you get.  If it is a plastic bottle then expect to pay about 30 - 40 pesos( about 1.00 - 1.25) but if you get in a glass bottle then it is about half the price.  In the DR as opposed to hear they use the glass bottle a lot more and can recycle it easier than they can a plastic bottle.

10 pesos is about right for a bottle of water but in the DR you can also get "funditatas de agua" wich is a little bag of water for about 1-3 pesos depending on where you are.

Have fun there.  I am going to move back down there pretty soon it fantastic down there.
