How much does a T-Shirt in Guatemala cost? (Guatemalan Currency)?

Question

I have a project on Guatemala and I need to know how much clothing costs in Guatemala and then convert it to US dollars. Please give a computer source if you can.

Answer 1

A t-shirt costs about $3-4 USD, according to the street vendors in front of my house. that is about 25 quetzals (Guatemalan currrency).

Answer 2

depends where you go i think the last shirt i bought was 70 or 80 quetzales and the exchange to american is usually about 7 to 8. but here is a website that will do the currency exchange accurately.

Answer 3

I agree with the Q70-Q80 for a man's t-shirt. It depends on where you shop. Things tend to be cheaper closer to the city. Where I am, it gets very expensive, thanks to having to pay the middle men. Exchange lately has been about Q7.70 to $1.00.

Additional info: If you are wanting to buy a traditional blouse for a woman, those can easily get up to Q2,000 ($260) and around here, that is all the women wear. Skirts are about Q4,000 ($520). That does not include the belts or the head pieces!!! On an income (around here) of Q30 a day!!! Yikes!
