Do you want to have a better idea of how much basic grocery products like milk and bread cost in Lima, Peru?. Here is a small list of prices for various grocery items like sugar, rice, chicken, potatoes and milk.
Of course, due to the dynamic nature of the Peruvian market, grocery prices will fluctuate sometimes significantly. Besides the obvious reasons like season and location, there are also external reasons like rains and oil prices.
