Douala - Post Report Question and Answers

How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?

There is a good supply of food and vegetables. Important vegetables from France expensive, like US$5.00 for a head of French lettuce. Local vegetables are good quality, and very inexpensive. Meat tends to be quite expensive, but with lots of variety. The Deluxe French butcher shop can charge up to US$30.00 for a fresh chicken. Expect to find everything, including boneless chicken breast, good quality steak. - Jun 2006
