I thought I would post a list of prices for those of you looking to travel, or better yet, make a move to Belize. Keep in mind this list will be based on prices in San Ignacio, Cayo District. However you will find similar prices around the country, unless you’re heading to San Pedro on Ambergis Caye, where the economy is strictly tourist driven and therefore has a higher cost of living.
I’ll give prices in Belizean Dollars (BZD). To get the US equivalent just divide by 2.
Coffee (package of ground bean) = $12-$15 BZD
Cup of coffee at restaurant = $2 BZD (no free refills)
Cappuccino at restaurant = $6 BZD
Gasoline = $7.50/gal BZD
•It costs me around $100 BZD to fill my tank on a Jeep Wrangler
Bottle of beer (local brand) = $4 BZD
Packaged pasta = $1/bag BZD
Pasta sauce = $1.25 BZD
Toilet paper = $5.75 BZD (4 rolls)
Loaf of bread = $4 BZD
Pastry/donut = $1 BZD
Cigarettes (local brand) = $6/pk BZD
Taxi ride (local ride) = $2 BZD
Sugar = $1.25 BZD
Milk = $2.95 BZD
“Fast food” stands = 3 tacos for $1 BZD.95 BZD
