Always shop at President or wholesale market or dollar stores. My food costs this week- tomato 60c per pound, corn 30c, cucumber 20c, mangoes 50c, lettuce $1, bread $1, gallon of milk $2.50.
I pay $500 for a 1 bedroom apartment near city center and $50 for power.
overcrowded..its sodom and gemmorrah..land of the scam. If thats your scene youll love it. Until mid 90s it was ok..60-80s great then the developers realized shmucks will pay big money to live in postage stamp houses or rental boxes. Imo its a shithole i was back to visit 4 yrs ago. Fughetaboudit..unless you have big bucks and love hot humid yr round weather. If money is no issue..and you like to pretend your in the top 5% then youll love it..but there are better places in south to live and breed. Lol
thanks
College students can be a bit more flexible, besides tuition, fees, and food: 10,000 avg per year will be more than enough with a doorm or shared apartment!
