I get a lot of questions about the food we eat here. Honestly, we mainly eat Haitian food. Because 1) It's good and 2) It's cheap!
I go to an "American style" grocery store about twice a month. I usually spend around $50 and get 2-3 grocery bags worth of food for that price. Makes me long for Krogers and Walmart! I do miss American food so I splurge and make it once or twice a week.
Here are some pictures I took at the grocery store here.
The exchange rate varies a little day to day but it is around 40 Haitian gourdes to $1 US.

There you have it. And by the way...no couponing, weekly sales, freezer stock-up, etc....ever!
Who knew living in a third world country would be so expensive?

notice how most prices are high because they are imported, but for the DORITOS they charge that high price no matter where you are!
