While shopping for a week's worth of food, I was not only amazed at the variety and value, but also by the absence of "Sin Tax". What I mean by this is that alcohol and cigarettes are considerably cheaper than what I am used to. From buying cartons of Marlboro Lights at Costco for around $15 to getting liters of Bacardi for $10 or less at the grocery store, it just impressed me how much we are taxed for these types of items back at home.
Maybe I got a little carried away with my Rum purchases.....but for $9 per liter...can you blame me? It was the holidays and we had a lot to celebrate.
