Maybe the Number 214 will give you an idea (Though dated 2012)

Also don't expect to have many braais with red meat

Thanks korn1,
Thanks for the update.

That post is a bit old though so prices would be way off

Seafood Braai will have to do then

Plenty of Red Meat here
Plenty of supermarkets here sell South African & Australian meat. i.e. Beef, Lamb, Pork, Sausages etc
And very reasonable priced too - Fillet of beef from Monoprix - South African Beef is what we all buy for BBQ's

I think as the Expat's have grown, so have the food choices:)

Honestly, you can live incredibly cheap here or live very luxuriously. It really just depends on how much you want to eat, go out drinking etc. If you need a car that makes things quite a bit more expensive. You can get a used motorbike really cheap though. I spent just over $200 a month for rent in Triolet and then food just depends upon your tastes. You can live off rice and beans for as cheap as you could do it anywhere else.

We found the best meat was South African at Foodlovers  (La Croisette or Bagatelle)
Not so impressed by Super U's Meat.

Have to agree with Daisy on this although we like the meat at Pick & Pay or Monoprix

Car hire: Average is Rs15,000 per month for a Nissan March - well that's what I pay, although with hindsight I should have bought one when we arrived on the Island 4 years ago
