Venezuela's Luxury Market For The Rich 🇻🇪

In Margarita exist the biggest supermarket I've seen in Venezuela and with the most imported products. 4-6 years ago Venezuela faced its biggest food crisis and over 5 million fled the country. Nowadays you can find any food product and also some imported goods but it will cost you a lot of money. The current minimum wage is at about $30 USD a month which is about a 300% increase from when I arrived in the country a few months ago. Basically only a select few can afford to shop here except for when it come to alcohol which is extremely cheap in the Venezuelan island which has no tax on alcohol.
