Top 10 list of what's cheap in Panama One of the reasons to move to Panama is that it costs less to live. Here are my top 10 picks for cheap things in Panama that help save on your monthly living expenses.
1. Fresh Fish. You can get a full range of seafood in Panama--from salmon to octopus--but the local fish is what's the best bargain.It's cheapest if you buy directly from the fishermen, but even if you go to a fish market, you'll still be amazed at how much you save. A whole Corvina (local sea bass) can be as little as $1 per medium-sized fish, and sushi grade Ahi tuna is only $2.50 per pound.
2. Fresh Produce. Year-round good weather means year-round fresh produce. There is an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables available. When purchased at a Farmer's Market or the Wholesale Produce Market in Panama City, you'll be amazed at how cheap the produce is. Here are some examples of things you can buy for $1: a dozen bananas, 2 pineapples, 20 limes, lettuce, 2 coconuts, a watermelon, 5 small mangoes, 4 ripe tomatoes, and more! You can literally stuff your refrigerator each week for less than $20. Fresh produce at a fraction of the price... one more reason to love Panama.
