"100 pesos for a coconut!": Cuban woman shows what she could buy with one thousand pesos at a market in Holguín

"What do you guys think?" she asked after naming the products she was taking in the bag.


What can be bought today in a Cuban market with 1000 pesos, is precisely the question that a young woman wanted to answer when she went to a market in Hoguin with that amount of money.

From her TikTok account, @aprendedorajeje, the TikToker shared her experience, starting with a comment that reflects her surprise: "Sir, I am traumatized. What do you mean a coconut costs 100 pesos? What do you mean 100 pesos? And you already know, the first thing to do is to buy a good bag".

In his journey, he continued to express his frustration with the prices: "Every time I go out to buy, I insult myself, because here the prices seem to be competing to see which one goes up faster. It's overwhelming and this is what I could buy: 1.5 pounds of potatoes for 450 pesos, one cabbage for 240, and one avocado for 150 pesos. What do you think?". In the post, he added: "I will save 140 CUP for next time."

The comments from their followers were not long in coming:

"Well, with 3 dollars in the USA, you can't even buy that"; "How about 100 pesos for a coconut"; "And here I am complaining about earning 1000 dollars a month"; "Those are in Holguín at the Chinese shops"; "You bought quite a bit"; "Well, here with 3 dollars you can barely buy a chocolate".

What do you think?
