Posts: 21661200 DOP a week for food is what I said
I cannot speak for StrawHat but I have always known (even though others challenged me) that 1200 DOP a week as a weekly food budget (4800 DOP a week) was enough for a Dominican family to get by on. I did not say it was enough for eating everyday in a restaurant like one of the off islanders living here for a week like a millionaire. Individuals reading my posts need to remember I actually live here. For quite a few years now. Not to many others posting regularly can say this. And not many my many detractors can actually say that either.
I personally doubt that any family can get along entirely and take care of all their household needs with just 1200 DOP a week covering all basic necessities. Nacional as others have noted is a high end supermarket. Locals shop there. Those who have more money than average and access to transportation. I shop there when I am close. You can find a lot of imported items that are more specialized. You usually do not find Nacional's located in less affluent areas. Nor do you find tennis clubs with 250,000 DOP initial memberships in less affluent area. But one exists. I ball on a budget here so I did not join.
How do they get by and cover all basic needs? There is a lot sharing that goes on. Some go without. There may be more than one income earner in the household. If a chica lives alone she may have another income source she is not disclosing to you (think: Western Union Novio). But I find it most interesting that people have chosen to concentrate on food. I also pointed out that you can get your dick sucked and fuck for 1200 DOP. So think about that! One hour of work can feed your family for a week here in Republica Dominicana. Never in my entire life of working did I every have a job that paid like that. I have had some good paying jobs in my day!
People are always telling stories here about chicas lying. A chica once met me and sucked and fucked me for 1500 DOP. She told me that she needed diapers for her child. We did the deed (fully documented in another part of the forum). I dropped her off at the pick up spot. Waited a minute and then decided that I need a few things out of the grocery store. As I was entering the store who did I see leaving. My lovely blonde hottie. She held up her bag displaying the big package of Pampers she had bought. Smiled and gave me a high five as we passed each other.

I'm curious to know how they manage to get by with 1500 pesos "monthly" budget for food. Most chicas don't live alone, they have atleast one kid and other family members living together. So imo the 1500 would get used up very fast even on basic necessities. Here's why I say that:
I've been here few times mostly for work and some fun, but I'm still a novice compared to other veterans posting on this board. I was at the Nacional supermarket last week and I did do some research just for my curiosity. Although Nacional is high end supermarket, the price of two dozen eggs was high, vegetables and bread alone was going for over 600 to 800. A big sack of rice was not available so I could not check on the price of rice and beans. And the meat section was no less then 400 to 500 for average portions of carne. Milk is only available here as pre-packaged containers with longer shelf life, they don't sell fresh milk anymore since May, and the cost of packaged milk was average, about 300 o 400 pesos for 1 L container. Now most dominicans like to drink lot of sodas and juices, I did not check prices on it but I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Lastly, I went to the hot food section and the food quality was disappointing but it cost me close to 500 for a ravioli, mixed vegetables and coke. I know I was not in the same place where the locals would shop but their prices for similar items can't be that much different wherever they may shop.
Now keep in mind that we're having a discussion on food costs here on the island. I'm sure they have other needs such as toiletries, spices, electric bill, netflix, and more importantly daily transportation. So I'm still curious to learn how they can manage to get by on 1500 monthly budget.

Well that was not the answer I expected but very appropriate. But to clear up one point I bet you have been on a sub before hahaha.

OK back to the 1200 DOP monthly food budget. My Chica told me that a family could live on 1200 DOP per month but she prefers 1500 DOP. Then she asked why I would ask, I said just curious. But then I started doing some math in my proper head and realized I give her enough to buy food for the year and in return she gives me as many orgasms as this body can produce (plus one or two extra LOL) in a week. So a week of of orgasms for a year of food. Fair to me!
Now I'm on a mission to feed more beautiful Dominican Women! Hahaha.
Just finished breakfast, having a cigar on the terrace (across from the La Sirena) with zumo de naranja (OK, I used the translator for the "zumo de" but I knew the naranja part).

My user name was taken from two sources. Number one: According to The Making of Star Trek (p. 256), the Romulan rank of sub-commander is fully equal to a Federation Starfleet captain. Number two: In my country of origin I was big into the BDSM world. I am a command and control DOM. Which means that I prefer a submissive that wants to obey my orders without me having to resort to punishment. If a Sub wants pain as her reward, I am skilled at applying that for her. Totally consensual. I was Mr. Grey before it got trendy. But no shades of grey with me brother. LOL! So, in my local circles I was called SubCommander also.
Enjoy your shopping trip. I am interested in reading your report. It will me more interesting to me than a report on the individual sex acts you perform with your Latina hottie. After all that is par for the course in Republica Dominicana.

One of the things I hate the most about living in Republica Dominicana is the lack of basic infrastructure. I will not comment on why I feel this is. But the phrase: "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" applies here.

Posts: 62SDQ Covid Check
Just arrived today at the airport, automatic temp scan then the random Covid testing line on the left. I stayed to the right and the person in front and behind me were pulled for the test. I definitely look like a tourist but the two pulled looked Dominican to me. I knew about the random test from this forum which started after my visit last month. I feel fine and would not have traveled if I thought I was sick but the "what if" thought was in the back of my mind.
Now I'm sitting on the hotel terrace smoking a cigar and drinking a Presidente. Tomorrow morning my Latina shows up! But the La Sirena is directly across the street so we will go look at what 1200 pesos will buy. So SubCommander were you ever on subs?
Strawhat.

I give them money but never negotiate on price (in fact, 99% of the time, I don't even talk about payment). If a hardcore pro behaves like a naïve non-pro and fools me, I am happy in my ignorance.
I have waited for a girl to sleep with me on the second and rarely, the third date, but after that I move on. Two years to get into her panties? This must have been love. Most of us operate on lust.

Posts: 4055In the USA And Europe it is a sign of very poor breeding to fail to offer food or drink to someone who visits your home. Please don't anyone be offended. Pero si te sirve el sombrero.
