Grocery shopping in Samoa




Sam requested info about where we buy our food.
We have shopped at three stores so far: Lyn’s, Farmer Joes, and Lucky Foodtown. They all have good and bad options.  Lyn’s has the best price for water, Farmer Joes has better selections of Easiyo yogurt packs, and Lucky has the best chicken and bread.  Of the three we prefer Lucky.  We usually take the bus to town and then walk to the store from there.  If we don’t have a lot to buy we can take the bus back.  Usually we take the taxi home.
Here is Lucky Foodtown.


We have to put our backpacks into cubbies while we shop.  Here is a view (blurry) of one aisle.  There are only three aisles in the store.

Some of the products down the aisles.



Lots of different kinds of snacks here!




And they also have a bakery so Marc is happy!


Freshly made wholemeal bread and rolls!
Most of the products are from New Zealand or Australia, although we did find some Western Family pinto beans!!  Since we only have one pot we have been doing camping meals a lot.

We truly are spoiled in the states!

  1. Sam: "That store looks like there is lots of stuff there that you don't need." Jenn: "Like Burger Rings, what are those?!" We both think Charlie speaks Samoan, we listened to some on YouTube. Sam would like to know if you have any chances to play ping pong. I would like to know what folks in Samoa do for recreation.
